I’ll have to check into that variety of tomato. I’m always looking to try new types. Our weather was hot and very dry this summer. I’m probably going to have to get a few loads of cow manure from our neighbors to help amend our soil. I do have a video on my channel on making salsa. Thank you for watching my videos!!

Dehydrators can be pricey, but well worth the investment. When our stores have sales, I will buy extras of bananas, strawberries, and other fruits and will dry them. Great for in oatmeal or just snacking. I also use it for a lot of garden veggies/herbs too. I’ve seen them listed in my area on facebook marketplace before pretty reasonably priced.

I first started growing these a few years ago. I had never heard of them either and purchased seeds from MIGardener. I always like to grow something different every year, and these have become a favorite!! Thank you for watching!!

You’re welcome!!☺️

I was following the recipe from my Ball book. And, no sugar made it taste awful. It was very bitter. Even though it’s not a lot of sugar used, it makes a huge difference in the taste. You could try a lacto-fermentation with the zucchini. That way doesn’t require any sugar. Hope that helps!!

@@willsmountainhomestead Thank you for your reply! I looked and I can substitute honey at a much decreased rate. (I cut out all processed sugars in my diet) I will try that today! Thanks for video! :D

Thank you so much!! I put a playlist together of each recipe and how to make them in detail. It’s titled Tomato/onion. This will give you all of the recipes in this video with directions. You have a great rest of summer too!!

@@willsmountainhomestead Thank you, great!🤗

If you don’t have an all in one debubbling/ headspace measuring tool, you can gauge headspace based on the threads of the jar. One inch is at the bottom ring or neck of the jar, the next thread up would be 1/2 in and then the top one would be 1/4 in. There are really good diagrams of this on google images if you need a visual reference.

The only reason I did was just to follow the recipe. I’ve canned other things like spiced peaches or red hot cinnamon apples where they are left in the jar. Hope that helps!!

That’s a great idea to just do 1/2 of the syrup especially if you are canning a small amount of peppers.

Great question!! I would say several weeks, however, I always check first for molding, and smell it to make sure it hasn’t turned before I use it.

@@willsmountainhomesteadI had another question. I just canned some bbq sauce, I see air bubbles on it. I made sure to take out as much as I can. Is it ok to have bubbles in them?

@@timetraveler6615 as long as the jar is sealed and you have the correct headspace, it should be ok.

@@willsmountainhomestead loved your video. Thank you for sharing your insight! 🙏🏻

Great question!! I like to drain them and then fry them. Or, make potato salad or mashed potatoes. They are also good to make a potato soup with. I love the versatility!!

I use Italian seasoning on them. I don’t use that much on each tomato. However, if you rehydrate them in olive oil, the seasoning adds to the taste. It’s a personal preference. You can dehydrate them without it.

They are cute!! If you have outdoor space for a potted plant, I grew one last year in a pot and it vined up my metal porch post and did really good.

I plant a few different flowers. Marigolds are good to deter pests and attract pollinators. I also plant poppies and calendula. I started a medicinal herb garden this year, and borage produces beautiful flowers and so does marshmallow root. I have a tendency to plant some things too closed too..like cabbage. Having a planned layout does help. Hope you are having a good harvest this year!!

Thank you!!😊

Thank you!!💕

I think so too!

Thank you!!

Thank you!! We were hoping to get rain from that hurricane, but it went just north of us.

You’re welcome!! I’m so happy you like it!!

Yes!! They break down and you can pull the spine out if you want to. I usually do. The little bones dissolve.

Thank you!!

I honestly don’t know the correct answer for that. I personally wouldn’t store them in the fridge. I would check Pinterest for creative ways to store your filled jars. I have a friend who purchased long totes, places her jars in those and stores them under her bed. I hope that helps. If I come across anything I’ll let you know.

I have never heard of using tapioca to make jam. That is definitely something I’m going to look into. Thank you for sharing!!

@@willsmountainhomestead You can use it to thicken your fruit pies too. Just make sure if your using whole pearled tapioca that you soak it well first. My last batch of raspberry jam I did half whole and half flour/starch.

I do!! If you look through my videos you will see one called zucchini “apple pie” filling. It was from last summer. We love that recipe. You really can’t tell that it’s zucchini.

I do check the underside of the leaves daily for eggs. I have found that packing tape works best to remove the eggs without damaging the leaves.

Those can be omitted if you dislike them or do not have them on hand. It may alter the taste of the final product.

That’s a great idea!! Thank you for the tip!!

Through my own trial and error, I have found that if I skip the blanching step, my shredded potatoes hold up better. I tried blanching them before, and the whole bag turned black and mushy. It was gross. I really do think it is personal preference. And, our hash browns are usually eaten within a few months. I hope that helps!!

That's a great idea!! I'll have to try that this year when I make more. Thank you!!

You’re welcome!! Enjoy!!

You’re welcome!! I hope you enjoy this recipe!!

Great question!! They are completely different. The pickling salt is salt that does not contain iodine. It comes in a Mylar like bag, and I can find it at my local Walmart in the canning section. Pickle crisp comes in a smaller round jar, and will say pickle crisp on the label. The pickle crisp helps to keep your peppers firm. This can also be found at Walmart in their canning section. I hope that helps to clarify the difference. Thank you for watching my video!!

Yes!! Thank you for commenting about that!!

Great question!! It’s not as creamy as the store bought. The center is soft and it could be due to me keeping them in the refrigerator.

Thank you!! I’m sorry I didn’t state where we are in this video. We are zone 6.

Thank you!!

I’m so sorry to hear that happened. We tried plucking feathers by hand before and you are right..it’s very time consuming and by the end the feathers seem to all stick to your fingers🥴. Thank you for watching my video!! I hope this method of butchering works out better for you!!
