    I came into 60 pounds of beef that had to be trimmed. I ended up with 6 pounds of beef fat. My first thought was I bet Jessica has a video about what to do with this fat! Thank you as always. You are always so informative.

    I understand Gracie’s struggles. I’m the only one in my family who is left handed. In school I was forced to use right handed scissors. My husband blessed me with a left handed rifle 5 years ago, boy that struggle to adapt to that took me a while 😂
    Instead of yarn or rubber bands I take a band and screw on over top of coffee filter. Works very nice.

    Jessica I LOVE this video! Love seeing all the different things you do to give me ideas over my normal canning and preserving. I am currently doing my 6th roaster full of pasta sauce. I do a rotating canning schedule each year so I don’t have to do same things every year. Last year I canned salsa with the tomatoes enough for 2 years about 120 quarts/pints. So this year I doing sauce which includes spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce for 2 years. I always try adding something new and this year I added the peach preserves, jam and syrup. I didn’t have it in me to do the vinegar yet but I promise I will soon! Thank you again! I live in PA so we have the same climate so we are doing things the same time. I did do the august preserving challenge as well, except for the week hubby and I went away for our anniversary 💜. Keep up the amazing videos and don’t be afraid to make them longer 😂

I do the same with green beans and carrots. Alternate every year. There are certain things you have to grow every year.so the more I can alternate the more variety I can grow each year

I’ve been feeling that call again the last few years and I feel so fortunate to have had a few fabulous channels land in my feed and yours is definitely one of them! My husband and I watched today’s together and we were discussing how although it’s a lot of work, you’ve shown it in such a way that one can see that it’s also doable. Gracie is a lovely help to you indeed. Bless you and your family.
