Hey there! I'm Abbi, and over the last few years, I've swapped my lawn for a beautiful and bountiful garden in my suburban-ish neighborhood. For me, gardening is not just a way to grow fresh produce, it's also a spiritual practice that helps me connect with nature and find balance.

Three gardening concepts that helped me see the big picture
Thank you so much for the advice! Yay!
Your videos are great, but I don't think you've addressed how to prepare the jars and lids. Do they need to be sterilized? Or just carefully washed?
@@loriannstanley9374 thank you! I have some other videos that go in depth but you don’t need to sterilize beforehand, just wash and dry for any recipe that calls for at least 10 minutes of processing time in the water bath :)
Thank you
I need someone to help me get the bottles.
I am from Morocco and I love home canned vegetables
Great practical advice!
Thank you so very much ❤
Can you give me some good advice regarding tomatoes?
@@rakeshchandrawanshi1896 if you farm tomatoes you might not need my advice haha! But is there something in particular you’re struggling with?
I farm tomatoes
Nice
Thank you
Can you can left over cooked food ?
@@omayratorres7735 it is not recommended especially if it was not following a tested recipe specifically for canning, so freezing is often your best bet in this case!
Are you familiar with the electric pressure canners from presto? With small children, i find it's the only way i can find time to put up food, but I've also seen videos that doubt it's safety...
I am! Ultimately it comes down to whether Presto is trustworthy; in my opinion they’re a good option. Here are some university extension guidelines that you might check out: www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/publications/pressure-can-it-right-tips-safely-using-stovetop-or-electric-pressure-canner
My boys and I love this book and movie!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
My tomato sauce lid pop out on day 2. Is it still safe to re-process it? I saved it in the fridge right after
@@diahsantoso2016 if you used a tested recipe with added lemon juice or citric acid and it didn’t sit unsealed for more than 2 hours then I’d consider it safe to re-process, just be careful with temperature shock to the glass if you reprocess :)
Why do you take the ring off at the end?
@@avengingme storing with the ring off or just very loose helps to prevent a false seal, prevents the rings from rusting, and makes it so if something does go wrong and pressure builds up in the jar it’s more likely to pop the lid off rather than crack the jar :)
Thank you for the recipe, I am going to try it today. I wanted to ask you, if I peel my apples prior to starting, I assume I can skip the steaming step at the beginning, If so how do I start cooking them to make the apples soft? Thanks
@@royjulian9341 I would still start the process off by steaming to get the applesauce texture, but you can then just use an immersion blender if you have it rather than using a food mill or if you don’t mind a little more texture you can just smash them! I hope you enjoy it!
Can you do this for broth and stock?
@@penelopegrier5073 pressure canning is the only 100% safe way to can broth & stock :) the national center for home food preservation’s website has great instructions!
These are soooo delicious!! I am saving the leftover syrup to use this holiday season for cocktails.
@@ruthleaming6228 same here!! I’m glad to hear you love them as much as I do!
Your voice is very soothing!
@@chandraross1506 thank you! This really brightened my day :)
ugh what if I didn't cover the jars with 1-2 inches of water? I only filled them to about the shoulders for apple pie filling (for 30 minutes).
No worries! All is not lost :) you have 2 options - 100% safe option would be to just re-process the jars within 24hr, and with apple pie filling I don’t think the texture will suffer and you’ll have the peace of mind. If all the jars have naturally sealed strong when you test them tomorrow, then they are very likely to be safe - definitely safe from botulism, but there’s a chance that the seal will not hold well in storage and it could ferment or rot, and cause the jar to crack and make a mess depending on the situation. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@@makinggardenmagic thank you! None of them ended up sealing so I redid them! A lot of filling came out of them too so it was a chance to fix that too. ❤
Quick question! What do you do with the left over brine? I had 2 pints of it left over when I made this and it seems a shame to toss it.
I think syrup in cocktails or mocktails would be great! Even just with seltzer water it’s a nice addition
Roommate cane home and tasted it. She suggested apple cider or in tea. I had similar thoughts.
@@halabaloux great ideas! It’s almost like a shrub in that sense, it is surprisingly good over ice cream too :) hope you enjoy the peaches!
Wow! Great tips! Thank you
Does anyone have experience vacuum sealing to store at room temperature? There are vacuum seals for Mason jars too…getting confused. 🤔
Good question! Vacuum sealing can be great for dry goods, but you need the water bath or steam to heat the jar contents up to the right temp for a certain amount of time in order to make it safe for storing at room temp. There are other methods people use, but none of them are 100% safe for room temp storage, so I don’t recommend them on my channel :) thanks for your comment!
Yes I use a vacuum sealer for dry goods. It was cheap on Amazon and I love it!
I’ll tell you what I can’t figure out. Is why a person would soak and ice water then pack it in a jar and boil it for 10 minutes that doesn’t make sense to me.
Haha I hear you on that - it’s one of those things that people swear by, but I haven’t been able to find an explanation!
Hi can you advise me please love lady injo watching I'm in uk so ball pickle from America is way to expensive to order I was told to order food grade 150 Intralabs Calcium Chloride - 2kg (Dihydrate Flakes) It's comes with no instructions and is more like gravel would I need to smash down to use for veg do you know please how much I use 1 pint size and when I get steamer will use larger I've 1 Pot Pro canner
Hello! I would just use a tiny amount per pint, 1/8tsp (not quite sure how much that would be in metric - just a pinch!). A steam canner or regular water bath canner would work well! Good luck :)
I really appreciate this video. Found you through a search about canning. Loved that and had a sense we were kindred. I too am the primary earner and it works for us. He pulls his “weight” in a million ways. We flow so well together in building the life we want. Got out of the rat race of the world several months ago. Got rid of everything and purchased a motor coach where we live mostly stationary on a farm that is trying to be fully self sustaining. It’s owned by another couple and we are helping out. It’s amazing. So much released that was all conditioning. Thank you for sharing about yourself. I am happy to learn more about you and dive into your videos. I have a lot to learn! ❤
@@sitapkseverson861 I love that the internet can connect similar people! Wow, that sounds like a dream scenario - a lot to learn but it sounds so fulfilling! Thanks for your comment and for watching 💚
Im glad u are doing waterbath we only did this growing up and im still here im 73
I'm glad you enjoy gardening, it's very relaxing
So we don’t pop the lids?
@@TuttiFruity0214 nope! Just let them pop down naturally, they will finish sealing as the jars cool - if any don’t seal, you can re-process them within 24 hours or just put it in the fridge and use up that jar first :)
Welp I've been picking peaches in the orchard and looking to make spiced ones.. lol
How do you store the cucumbers until you have enough for a batch?
@@Jacq28 I’d rinse and dry them well, cut the blossom end off, and wrap them in a paper towel and in a zip lock in the fridge in a produce area. If you keep them away from anything else that’s ripening in the fridge, that will help as well! This will get you a few more days but ultimately you might end up having to make a couple of small batches or do fridge pickles with some of them :)
I just got back from picking cherries in Hood River Oregon and can't thank you enough for these three methods! The cherries are in peak season and I found a wonderful organic orchard and picked 41 pounds! The picking was great fun but now on to the hard work. I've given some to friends and have filled over 3 gallon bags of pitted frozen using your method. I plan to make a batch of jam and the rest I will can and dry. I have a question about the canning method - I have some frozen apple cider vinegar from our CSA farmer and was wondering if I could use this instead of the syrup?
@@bbllrraa so glad to hear that! Apple cider vinegar is safe to use, but it will steal some sweetness from the cherries and basically pickle them so they might have more limited uses. You can also cut the vinegar with water and even add sugar to make sweet pickled cherries which can be really delicious - just a matter of preserving it in a way that you’ll use later!
I could not sleep yesterday because I am so worried about women`s rights declining further. It`s a living breathing nightmare. No details because I don`t want to fuel the anxiety. Thank you for your comparison between awareness and influence. Media is a money game. My emotion is someone else`s income. Thank you.
Love my weck jars
Peoples sphere of awareness vs sphere of influence is a excellent summary of our current information age. A poor mental diet of negative and fear inducing mainstream and social media is a major problem in society. I agree about small, continuous positive changes over time making a huge difference over time for ones well being. So many great points made in this video. Cheers!
Our family loves this movie!!!
You guys have great taste!! :)
Ok, I must live a sheltered life because I’ve never even heard of this book/movie, so the title of this video had me scratching my head! 😂 But the recipe sounds delicious!!! Gotta go find some good peaches STAT!
One of the best movies ever made! My kids and I have probably watched it over 100 times. It has Henry Winkler in it. Do yourself a favor and watch the movie. 😉
Haha I think it was required reading in late elementary school in Idaho in the late 90s/early 2000s! So it was probably a trend within my age group - but I agree with Jane, it’s such a fun one with a great cast :) and the peaches really are so good!
Just shared this video with my adult kids. Holes was one of their favorites when they were little. We still enjoy watching the movie every year or two just for the memories! Thanks for the recipe!
My family loved it too! Thanks for watching & sharing :)
Yay some else who uses weck jars
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
I genuinely don't known how you don't have more followers! Thank you so SO much for making these videos! I found out about wek jars because of you and now have a whole bunch that will be used for canning tomato sauce, salsa, pickles, and diced tomatoes! I really hope more people find you, you're wonderful!
This made my day, thank you for the kind words!

Can you please do a water bath and pressure canning for people that have high blood pressure
I will add it to my list of topics, how to make safe customizations to recipes like reducing salt!
This made me think about when I brewed beer for many years. A commonly used product in the brewing world was Star San. It's a foaming no rinse sanitizer. Different from canning where the heat is at the end of the process, with beer brewing after the sweet wort boil everything the wort touches has to be sanitized (best as possible) for the fermentation and then the bottling process.
@@NewfoundBrewing yes! I got really into growing my own mushrooms a couple years ago and you learn to respect microbiology verrry quickly with that hobby haha - similar to beer brewing where you have to start as clean as possible
Hello from New Zealand! I usually just put my jars under a hot tap, soak, swish, and rinse.

The checklist is great! My husband is a very experienced canner, but I am not, and I love a good checklist. I’m trying a whole Greenstalk tower garden full of bush beans this year, so I’m hoping to put some up for the pantry.
That's amazing! I filled my Greenstalks with beans this year as well but my dog has been snacking on the lower levels, she loves the leaves for some reason!
A beautiful video. It has always been very important for me to spend a lot of time outside with nature. Especially in summer when the natural environment is at its peak. Thanks for sharing!
