    When you get to be a mother of 7 you've definitely earned the right to do as you please and have considerably more experience and knowledge than those with less kids. As a mother of 1, I would personally never question you despite being a teacher because I just don't have your experience to judge or even ask because it's none of my business.

Thank you very much , I did not know to run them under hot water they peel off. I Alway balance them 2 minutes and put into very cold water. A wonderful time saver. And I did not know to dehydrate the tomato peels then run thur the blender for powder. Love this idea. And make a tomato paste too. Love when you make your videos. I Alway learn something from you. Wonderful your daughter wants to start a little business. Congratulations

    Hello from Ontario Canada!! I've been binge watching a lot of your video's and find them very informative. yYou have a great way of teaching and telling stories that I find so very relaxing. Saying that I no longer have small children but I enjoy watching your interatactions with your children and it brings quite a few memories of my own. I do not have the space for a garden at the moment so try to buy a lot of my fruits and veggies in bulk from local farmers. I've always done the bulk of my food preservation by freezing as well as some specific fermentation products. This year you've given me that extra push I needed, to buy a canner as well as a dehydrator. You really are an inspiration and I'm truly greatlful for all the information you share!🥰

How did you strain the grape juice? I saw you put it in a metal funnel was there a wish mesh or something that I missed? Oh and your cooking demo's are inspiring me to be more productive in the kitchen so thank you for that.. today cooked 3 pounds of turkey burger in bacon grease, saved the grease added it to water and cooked 2 pounds of long grain rice for the deep freezer along with that burger. We are only a family of 2 usually but it makes it easier to menu plan if I have food in the freezer already cooked.. we use to be such fast food junkies because I couldn't answer the daily question "What's For Dinner" now I keep prepped food so I can say Spaghetti or would you rather have??

    Have you tried dehydrating peppers?

      Hot peppers, yes! We typically dehydrate and make powder from them. I actually have a bunch of dried cayennes that need ground up. I have never done it with bell peppers though.

    Oh I had one more question, you don’t have any problems with you jams or jellies setting properly when you double the recipe? I have wanted to do that every year but am too afraid of ruining the whole batch because the pectin package always say do not double. Maybe I will be liberated of that restriction?

      I have had issues following the no pectin/Ball canning recipes and doubling. I haven't had issues with the pectin box recipes. This one turned out great (Sure Jell)
