Eric and Ariel, we are big proponents that YT is at its best when information is shared for learning, rather than just entertainment. Of course you have both, but these episodes where you share some knowledge and ideas make this literally our favorite homesteading channel. We agree with others that the cracked jars are a very important lesson, because this lifestyle is all about perseverance and not stopping when the bees die, the jars crack, the chainsaw won’t start, the tire keeps going flat….thank you for taking the incredible amount of time and effort it takes to provide content, free of sponsors and full of honesty, Dan and Elle.
Wonderful couple Sharing their knowledge and experience to us Thank you
Absolutely, well said!!
i like your show how would like to generate power from your stove no joke
it is posable w/ a hot air engine better nowne as a sterling engine
Tv
All the different ways you guys have prepared salmon over the years you should consider a Simple Salmon Cookbook.
I agree
Great idea🤗
Yeah let me pre order that. I can already imagine the pictures 😋
Yes!
Definitely agree
My absolute favorite way to eat canned salmon is in a cream cheese dip. Whip 8 oz of cream cheese, add 1 tbs of lemon juice, 6 oz salmon, garlic salt, garlic powder, black pepper, salt to taste, and fresh chives. Mix it all up, form it into a ball... and top it with crushed pecans. Pair with your favorite crackers and it makes the absolute best dip ever.
Sounds super good! I’m writing this down thanks!!!
… at 80 years old , I have never had an inclination to live the pioneer lifestyle that you seem to thrive on …. but whenever I see one of your videos , I thoroughly enjoy the enthusiasm you have for your life … I am happy for your choice ; it is so right for you 🥰
I learn so much and really feel gratitude I found your channel.
Learning how to prepare meals with preserved food (especially expensive proteins) with simple recipes
helps to justify buying in bulk at Costco meat, fish, poultry dept.
Especially for those financially struggling: loss of jobs, young families, single parents, welfare, soc. Security....
Thank you for sharing your hard learned lessons in healthy meals.
Very good canning video for canning anything. I was raised on a large farm and we canned so many things. I can understand how important a great video can be to new canners. Thank you!
I recognize you from either the a country life or acre homestead comments

@@Pharphette I follow both of those channels. I’ve followed Simple Living Alaska from the beginning!
Fish always tastes better when you experience catching them in the wild, then putting your hearts into processing them ❤❤
Amazing video as always!
Every time I see a new video from you, I get excited! I just love you two and love your videos! You are living a life that is admirable and lovely!
Wife and I live in a log cabin on a few acres in the PNW. I've gotta show her this channel. One of my all time favorites! Thanks for sharing
Great teaching video you guys! Canning food correctly is so important.
The salmon looks DELICIOUS 🤤
You two are such a great team. Especially with this canning episode you can see how experienced the last 4yrs have made you. What a nice batch of jars. I think this must be one of the best YT-how-to-can vids out there! I’m as sure as heck gonna defer people to this one if they need tips. It’s the best imho!
So glad to see y’all! Weathered the storm without problems, I hope.
It's good to see a video made by people who have actually done this many times before and perfected the method. There are WAY too many youtube videos of people "showing us how" to do recipes that they are literally atempting for the first time as they're filming it. Good job guys :)
I am glad you showed the broken jars so that people who are new to canning know to look for them. Very good vlog! Thank You!
People who dare to show their mistakes are the best kind of people.
❤❤❤
Yes I love watching them cos their real not fakes!
I must admit that rarely am envious, but this pushed me over my edge. You are truly blessed. ❤
i’m so glad you go over the canning!! i never get bored with it!!
Another great video. I've watched your previous canning videos but your instructions tonight were clear, concise, and accurate. Sorry you has a couple of failures but seeing those in reality is so much better than reading a manual. You guys are a great team too! I love smoked salmon, especially wish I had tasted your candied salmon from last year. That looked so good.
Very good that you went over all the safety items. I have canned venison and it was delicious but followed directions. Thanks, Ariel, for the tip on the vinegar to help reduce the fogging on glass cans.
All those pink filets to can, from all those fishing trips and adventures! Awesome! I'm not a fan of salmon, but I am a huge fan of ya'lls, all the trips you take us on, all the ups and downs, hunts, I enjoy every post! Love ya'll ❤️
I always wondered how the canning process worked. Thanks for demonstrating all the steps to successfully canning the salmon. Really enjoyed the video!
You two are so awesome. Thank vou for sharing you wealth of knowledge! Brings back great memory's of mom and dad canning tuna.
Definitely the earliest I’ve been here
Same, thanks to breastfeeding the baby in the middle of the night
Same
You guys must have a great deal of comfort, in that no matter what, you can live off the land. Yes it is hard work, but the fruits of your labor are gold of another variety
That looks so good. My favorite is salmon balls. Same as patties but roll them into balls. Serve with teriyaki sauce, or Alfredo, or tarter. I use dried mash potato flakes, egg, onion and celery. Also, roll the outside in dried mashed potato flakes for extra crispy.
Sounds great!
Cheers to life in Alaska. Loved this video. The rooster sounds great and always a part of your videos. Love pictures of Bo and Bandit.
Always excited for a new video from you guys! I never miss one!! I would love to spend a day with y'all on your adventures. I bet it never gets boring!
Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!?!
Smoked canned salmon, that sounds like a great idea . Yum yum yum nice old school smoker, that salmon looks perfect
That tag team effort kicked ass!👏If someone had told me I would be waiting for every video, and watching on the edge of my seat, I would of never believed it! Thank you for bringing all of your Alaskan adventures to life for me!💙
Great job Eric and Ariel
Thanks for mentioning the worms / parasites. I remember years ago Bette Midler getting worms from sushi. Put me off raw fish entirely. On the other hand - as usual when I watch your videos, I somehow end up starving!! Happy Fall to you both 🍁🍂
So grateful for the step-by-step explanation you did re: pressure-canning... Thanks a mill.!!!! xoxox
I love watching you prepare food to be self reliant. Why not mix the salt and sugar together then sprinkle it using just one container. That way there's no guessing on even distribution. Just a thought.
Best canning class ever....love you guys!
I’m so glad I found this channel!
Wow you guys canned so much salmon. Way to go!! It looks delicious. Also thanks for all the tips. I’ve learned a lot watching you do the process.
It was neat having more of an instruction video! I like seeing the "casualties"
We grew up with a large garden and my mom canned and froze everything. You guys work so hard! I enjoy watching whatever y’all do. Take care and God bless! 😀❤️
Looks like you guys are ready to upgrade to a smoke house, your videos are heartwarming and inspiring, thank you so much for sharing, with love Helga ❤️....
I love watching you preserve food I love salmon love your videos how great you both work together,God bless you from West Virginia
Awesome canning. I love salmon Pattie’s, mix, onion, and egg with salmon, oh salt and pepper. Delicious.
11:19 thanks for talking about the worms. We just got back from kasilof and I was positive as long as it’s cooked properly the fish would be fine. I’m glad you mentioned it in your video.
When I first told my family that I wanted to move to Alaska and live a simpler life on a homestead my family thought I was crazy. I won’t move for a couple of years, but I’ve been learning and taking notes from your channel and I’ve shown my family that you guys have been living this life that I’m looking for, so I thank you so much for all the informative videos and for giving me courage and hope to keep chasing my dream life 💖 you guys are incredible and I wish you all the absolute best! That salmon made me so hungry 😂
I want to know how they pay for supplies an so forth
@@TineyGrouse People watching their videos and ads brings in a lot of cash
Wow, first time I've seen you be so thorough on canning instructions and safety standards and I've watched all of your videos. It's good to see. That is a lot of nice, yummy fish. DH is going out salmon fishing this Saturday. First time he could get away all season. I hope to be canning on Sunday. Probably only one canner load, but better than nothing.
Is there a reason you don’t mix the salt and sugar together before you put it on the salmon?
im from Philippines and yet im so proud and inspired by both of you. you always show how to preserve salmon, eggs and so on i really get an idea. thank you for sharing this kind of technique. ill keep watching
I know most people toss the lids after opening a jar and using the contents but I was taught to wash the jar and lid after using the contents, flip the lid over and screwing on a band to keep the empty jar clean until next canning season. I admire your education regarding your process. My parents grew up during the Great Depression and many of their canning skills were learned at that time. One of my uncles used to smoke the salmon filets and without canning, they were kept in the unheated attic in cloth bags (maybe cotton pillow cases). Prior to eating, he would remove a filet and the meat would peel from the skin in thin sheets. Have you ever prepared fish that way? Regrettably, he died before I could learn all elements of his process and my mom didn’t know.
Wishing you and your furry kids a blessed week, gentle autumn weather and restful evenings. Peace
I have been watching you since you both headed to Alaska, I has to be the best weekly show I watch on TH-cam, thank you so much for the honest entertainment, take care🙏🙏🙏
just curious, since I am assuming it gets pretty cold at night in Alaska - were you not concerned about letting the jars sit outside overnight after coming out of the pressure canners? I thought drastic temperature changes could cause issues with sealing. Your very detailed instructions will be very helpful to new canners out there - I have 25 pounds of ground beef to process tonight, but won't be doing it outside :)
Compliments on the production value on this video, it’s looks like u were intentional with improving the quality of the information delivery, and it was obvious. Very nicely done, love the channel
My mouth is drooling 🤤 watching those jars of Salmon coming out. I can’t imagine how delicious they taste. I love watching the process of catching, cleaning and canning the Salmon.
makes my day when you post new content, love your work.
I sure wish I liked salmon, never could stand the taste. The canned salmon LOOKS so delicious. Love watching your canning videos and other videos. Thanks for letting us in your lives.
Please take care and be safe.
I'll be saving this one for canning in general! Amazing video as always. 😍
Salmon spread one can canned salmon drain mash up ad mayo little mustard salt pepper sweet or dill Pickle a little onion mix slather onto a sailor boy cracker. A Sunday afternoon favorite at home.
I remember your first videos of moving to Alaska, and it's been 4 years already! Makes you think of the time passing, I used to watch your videos 4 years ago in university as a break from studying because they used to calm me. Now I am watching them but I work a job and watch them during break times. Keep up the good work, your videos have been superb quality since the early days :)
I love your channel and have watched every video multiple times. I have recently been rewatching all of them and realized that I had a recipe you might be interested in. I am sure you have made a million salmon cakes but this recipe makes far and away the best salmon cakes I have ever tasted. They are loaded with veggies and I know how much you like veggies so I think they might be up your alley.
VEGGIE-LOADED SALMON CAKES
INGREDIENTS:
- 20 oz salmon, cooked or canned salmon (drained)
- 1 small onion, sweet or red, minced
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small yellow bell pepper, finely diced
- 3 Tbsp butter, unsalted
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp capers, minced
- 1½ tsp. Old Bay seasoning
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup Panko breadcrumbs (more as needed)
- ¼ cup parsley, chopped
- salt & pepper, to taste
- oil, for frying
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Melt the 3 Tbsp of butter in a saute pan and cook the onion, celery, and bell pepper until softened. Season with sea salt and pepper. Let the vegetable mixture cool completely.
2. Combine the cooled vegetable mixture with the salmon, mayo, Dijon, Worcestershire, capers, Old Bay seasoning, eggs, Panko, parsley, and sea salt and pepper to taste. Mix until completely incorporated. Start with ¾ cup of Panko and see if the mixture forms a nicely shaped cake. You can add up to 1 cup of Panko if needed.
3. Let the mixture chill in the fridge for 30 minutes and shape into patties of your desired size.
4. Heat a skillet with oil and fry the salmon cakes until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
NOTES:
1. Be gentle with these when frying. The key to a good salmon cake is plenty of salmon and not as much filler (breadcrumbs). You can add more breadcrumbs but they do stay together with just ¾ cup (chilling them helps!). Just be gentle when handling the cakes, make sure your oil is nice and hot, and try not to flip them too much (just once will do).
2. For the herbs, you can add all parsley or a combination of half parsley and half dill.
3. Try topping these salmon cakes with a lemon yogurt sauce.
I’m thankful for all your food preservation episodes. I have learned so much. Keep up the stellar work!
If you haven't yet, you have to try it on pizza with whatever fresh veggies you like. I do it with home jarred tuna in oil that I jar with lemon, and I mix the oil with fresh garlic paste to season the crust.
You guys are so AWESOME! Thank you for the canning lesson, I am now empowered with knowledge!🙂🙂🙂
That salmon looks SO GOOD! Thanks for sharing!
Wash the entire jar in warm soapy water, especially the canner with the broken jar. Your jars won’t be so cloudy. They will be beautiful. Good job.
Excellent, excellent, excellent show !!!!!
Great video yall! So informative and interesting!
Thank y’all for sharing! Amazing!
Oh my goodness, I'm freaking out at how many filets are there. I'm so jealous. I made a cardboard cold smoker but haven't used it yet. I'm excited. Needs to cool down here. Here in Michigan it's in the 90's the next couple days.
Your end result is beautiful.
Thank you so much for clearly explaining the process for using the canners etc.
Thank you .. I've been scared of pressure canning. You managed to explain it in a way I understand 👍 you cans are clear because vinegar works better then windex and is a disinfecting as well .
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video. You two are awesome 😎🤓😎🤓😎
That looks so good! I’m salivating over here 😂 great work guys!
Very comprehensive infiormation on canning. You also gave us reasons for doing certain things and the failures. Very interesting..........wish we had salmon here in Australia.
So jealous. Growing up we fished Forks of Salmon in Northern California. Some we smoked completely and some we canned. So good. Your salmon filets are huge and look fabulous!
I really appreciate the vibe and style of this video, normally I sit back and just watch in awe and excitement over the daily tasks and adventures you both encounter but this felt very much like a "How To" guide to canning that was super easy to understand and presented in a very natural/simple format for literally any one to understand from beginner to experienced canner.
For someone like myself who has recently taken on canning (primarily inspired from your channel) this has really helped to answer a few questions I had and will be good to build experience off of.. You guys are the best!
Thank you, for explaining, about canning, can some tomatoes and never really checked my jars, great episode.🤟
My experience, canning since about 1985 - the jiggler only has to pssst occasionally to make sure your temp is correct, in grandma's old house you could check it by just stomping on the floor, the psst would tell you it's still working; the thing that pops up is what stops you from opening the lid while there is still pressure inside. The "band" is always reusable but the "flat" where the rubber seal is must always be replaced. p.s. my son's name is Mason.
In my opinion, ( and yes , I know no one asked for mine ) however, it is at least the top ten video I enjoy each and everytime, and still holding. AWESOME.
Thank you both for sharing.
From me up in Northern Canada.
Thank you for encouraging me to can again. Love Alaska!
I usually just make salmon salad (like tuna salad, only salmon); break it up with a fork, add chopped celery, onion pow, mayo (made with avocado oil), and some lemon juice. Can make into sandwich with some rye toast, swiss and lettuce, pickle etc or just eat the mix with a fork. LOVE canned salmon :) Thanks for sharing your doings .. so nice you two can catch and process together!
You must feel so good about getting all of that lovely salmon stored - what a feeling!! Me, I'd just be standing there looking at it all the time🤗 A good "how to" video - many thanks! Be happy, stay safe!❤
Thanks for sharing so many details! This is such a valuable video for me.
We love using salmon for a spread. We take canned salmon, a brick of cream cheese at room temperature and a bit of smoke seasoning…stir it all up and serve with crackers. We usually use wheat crackers like triscuits.
64 jars! Wow! You really got that butterfly technique down pat! So beautiful and my fave way to eat canned salmon would be a spinach and egg fettuccini with Alfredo sauce and mixed with sautéed garlic, mushrooms and green onions with peas added last dish with Parmesan cheese! Next would be in sushi with pickled veggies, macadamia nuts, avocado and black sesame seeds.
Always a good watch and always full of practical information.
Ariel and Eric, as always you guys are an amazing team giving us wonderful information. Thanks and God bless.
Ohhhhh I am a bit envious of all your salmon. I love canned fish. I love eating straight out of the jar but I also LOVE creamed salmon on sourdough toast. Yummy. Great video guys. 🇨🇦🌷
Great timing you two. I just put 4 racks of Elk and Deer in the smoker. I use Apple, Apricot, Plum or Pear from our orchard. Depends on the brine and rub.
Finally bought a pressure canner! Thanks for the always making great videos 😊
so happy to stumble across your channel. i really love this ❤
Well damn. Can’t believe y’all have been there for 4 years. Also can’t believe I have been watching y’all’s videos that long haha. Time flys
Lots of great information. Nicely done. Thank you!
Set a net with my dad a couple days ago. Then I smoked walleye and canned whitefish with my mom yesterday. This made me think of them lol Love your videos! ❤
I do a wet brine with molasses, brown sugar and rock salt in a trash bag sitting on ice in a cooler for 24 hours, then a light wipe down to remove some, not all of the brine. really low temp smoke for 2-3 hours, and can with jalapenos like y'all do. -Greetings from Palmer!
Blueberry and mushroom paradise! Your videos are always so interesting, informative and entertaining. The fall colors were gorgeous!
Amazing Video!! Great Canning Information!! 👍🏻👍🏻🤗🤗
As a salmon lover, i watch this and drool!
Looking forward to your new smoker build!
This was the most helpful canning video I’ve ever watched! Seriously, thank you!!!!!
My favorite way is brining and canning. Basically the same as how you do it, but instead of smoking them, I just add a little bot of liquid smoke to the jar before canning. Tastes almost the same and saves a few steps in the process
Looks delish! Always enjoy your videos!
Love your videos! This HOW TO video is excellent, and even a goofball like myself could follow your steps and can food. Thanks.
