    OMG….. Becky you have to make corn relish! I made it last year and everyone loves it. YOU are the one that got me started canning again at 75. This year I have already canned strawberry jam and peach jam, peaches for cobbler or pie, 18 pints of tomato sauce, potatoes, green beans. I have frozen zucchini, corn, raspberries and enough meats to last us for months! Thank you for giving this lady the motivation to start again. I have to use a mobile scooter as my walking is extremely difficult but I just tell myself “Becky says you can do this”! Big hug……. (I placed my recipe in the comments of this post, click on my name and it should come up).

    @Acre Homestead Becky, I've been a cake baker/decorator for over 25 years and I've always used this "Cake Release" recipe. I always made huge batches at once but will reduce it to make 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups. It will keep in your fridge for a very long time so i know you will use it all before too long.
    The recipe is:
    ● 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
    ● 1/2 cup Oil
    ● 1/2 cup Shortening(or leaf lard)
    Mix together well and brush on your baking pans with a pastry brush generously, but not too much. It works like magic every time.
    Please let us know how it works for you. I'll be thrilled to see you use this recipe. ❤

    Hi Becky,
    In Germany we make cakes in this kind of pan all the time and you don’t need anything to put in it before the dough, you just need to let the baked cake cool completely before release it.
    I never had problems when I let it cool fully… (because as it cools it shrinks a tiny little bit and the „crust“ gets a little harder and comes off more easy. Also you could try to just put it bottom down on the counter while it cools and the „condensing water“ will losen it for you.
    If you have after that still problems some people use ground almonds or other nuts to dust the pan… they don’t dissolve and get integrated in the dough like flower does…
    I hope that help’s without you having to make some „bake magic“ put if so: this actually works quite well too. :)
    Love your channel! Greetings from Germany :)

  • @marilynmiller9864
    @marilynmiller9864 11 месяцев назад +17

    I have to say this because I am of the school 'Make do or do without' . You can use any big pot with a good fitting lid as a steam canner. Use the rack from your pressure canner in your 30 qt.pot to keep your jars off the bottom. You just need to have steam coming out of your pot at a good amount and start your timer. You can even use your pressure canner without the pressure regulator. Just be sure to use enough water to produce steam for however long is necessary. You really don't need another single function pot taking up precious pantry space. ❤

    • @AndreaRuralMN
      @AndreaRuralMN 11 месяцев назад +2

    You can spray with oil and sprinkle in sugar and shake it around your pan until covered. Put the cake mixture in the pan and bake as required. Flour leaves white on the cake and the sugar melts into the cake.

    Please please please use pickling salt when the recipe specifically calls for it. It is very important to use similar sized salt crystals to ensure you have the correct volume to safely ferment or brine your veggies. Accurate measurements are key to safe food preservation!

    To release a bundt instead of buying or making the spray, get a stick of butter and rub it all over the inside of the bundt pan and then get a couple tablespoons of flour in there and tap it around into all the crevices. Dump out the excess. Works everytime. Pull your bundt cake out of the oven and set a 6 minute timer release the edges and then flip. Fool proof, works everytime. 😊

    Becky, you should try making caramelized onions and freeze drying them in pucks. I know your canned caramelized onions didn't work out, but freeze-dried are amazing. You can slice onions like you normally would and put them in a crockpot on low with a little water and cook until they are nice and caramelized...the put them on the freeze dryer trays and freeze dry. You can reconstitute or use them as a topping on salads or baked potatoes or whatever you'd use them for but as a crunchy topping.

    Becky: I have used a steam canner for two summers now. I have loved it so much I passed my water bath canner on to another beginner canning friend. It takes so much less water and therefore less time to process and is so easy. The baking spray I use with flour in it is called Bakers Joy. I love it too! Good luck with a steam canner.

      I was wondering about the time thing with a steam canner because you can't double stack in them so I wasn't sure if it is worth the investment into one. But if you can do 2+ batches in a steam canner in the same time it takes to make 1 double stacked batch in waterbath canner, then it seems worth it to me. I always hate dumping out the water - even if it is on my plants.

    Another fun day of watching Becky in the kitchen!! When I was taking cake decorating classes, they gave us a recipe for "goop" to prevent cakes from sticking to the pan. Blend equal parts shortening, oil, and flour until the consistency of mayonnaise. "Paint" it onto your pans using a brush--no sticking! It's the only thing I'll use for Bundt pans. Shelf stable, lasts for months in an airtight container.

I love the large pot because it has a glass lid so you can see the jars and it’s another large pot to use in other ways in your kitchen. The one I use is the Harvest Multi-Use Canner. Love it!

    Im guessing that you still have plenty of zucchini-summer squash to come. If the zucchini-pineapple cake is a go, i recommend a total of 12 to 18 jars on the shelf. This will give you a cake or muffins once per month for a year plus a few holidays or extras. I sure could see this used as a jam substitute in some of those oat meal bakes too.

    I had never heard of putting horseradish in relish before. I think I would have omitted that too. When I made squash relish, I did add turmeric and dry mustard along with pimentos and hot peppers. Other than that, it was the same ingredients you used. It’s a great way to use up all the squash!

    Becky, this year, I bought a steam canner to use in place of my big water bath canner. It works for anything that needs processed for 40 minutes or less, which is most things. I LOVE IT!!! So much faster, as it only uses a small amount of,water to bring to a boil. So worth the cost!! It wasn’t much money either.

The channel "Make it Make" has some great videos interviewing some Amish women about how they ONLY & ALWAYS water bath/steam can EVERYTHING - meats, veg, fruit, starches, beans... ALL OF IT. They've never even HEARD of pressure canning... AND they REUSE commercial jars as well. It's very interesting & I've gotten some great steam canning ideas from her channel.

    I love my steam canner. It can't really be used for jobs with a long canning time but for the shorter canning times its great. Its not too heavy and don't take too long to heat up. I use it mostly for my jams as they don't have much of a canning time but I make a lot of it at once so its nice to get it all done quickly.
