The ending display was amazing BUT more amazing is that you are still smiling, your kids still polite and working hard and you seem happy enough regardless of the challenges you have now and to come. You are one strong woman and I'm so glad I subscribed - you're inspirational and I really enjoy watching all the activity and your sweet smile. Thank you!
@@iartistdotme aww thank you 😊
We are so glad to have you here.
Thank god you have help. God bless your family. And please take care. And please don't overdo it darling. Excuse me i'm From the south. You got some fried green tomatoes there. You can make that is wonderful.. It's in biscuits and gravy oh my. !
How grown up your littlest daughter has become all of a sudden! Her sweet smile and glistening eyes when she looked at you lovingly and said she was helping you melted my heart and shows she is proud and happy to help her Momma. A beautiful moment for sure.
That is a lot of canning! Glad you have had a good harvest from your gardens and still bringing in more. The aroma of the peaches cooking down would have had me there with my begging bowl hoping for a taste of that sweet jelly! I'd probably be mooching for some delicious celery soup too, to be honest! 😂
Good to see little Misters baby bump is getting bigger and you looking so radiant. I've been praying for your back discomfort and allergies to ease off and continue to pray for all your family and the baby. ❤️🙏🏴
Thank you!😊. I know she’s so talkative now as well. Thankfully still a snuggle bug.
My goodness! You ladies are such hard workers. It’s so inspiring to see your family working together to provide for your family. From the eldest to the youngest. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!😊
The concentration pn the little girl trying to put that lid on the canning jar was priceless.
lol she tried about 30 lids before finally figuring it out so sweet I caught her at the tale end.
Your daughter who cutting the carrots has got really good knife skills that’s amazing❤
It's so awesome that all of the kids pitch in and help whenever needed, even the smallest ones.
You and your husband are doing a bang up job on raising you 12 (almost 13) kids.
I applaud you both
Thank you!
She is expecting her 15 child in October.
@@peggymoss3185yes, two are out of the house.
The abundance of God. Impressive. Your family works well together. Your children have great skills. Such blessings.
Thank you!
Good thing about being down low is getting to see little man’s bump growing 🩵 I think everything about pregnancy and babies is beautiful and so special. I get all maternal when I see it ❤
Wow it blows my mind at how you use every piece of fruit or celery. I’m so impressed at how hard your kids work. They also learn from watching you and their siblings. May God bless you and prayers for your baby yet to come.❤
Thank you so much 😊
God bless you, your husband, and all of your children.
Thank you 😊
Wow God bless you and your precious family. I had 4 children and know the work, you are amazing with the help of our Lord and Savior. Probably will never get to meet you this side of life, but in eternity I will.
I’ll give you a virtual hug!🤗
What a success you are in the kitchen, with your family and God, and everywhere. I’m praying hard for mama2many beautiful baby! Ty Lord! In all things.
Thank you so much we appreciate your prayers.
You gals are putting it in overtime! Awesome team work. I’d love for you to do a picture at the end of all your hard work on your shelves if you feel like showing that
I’m looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. But feeling so blessed.
@@mommabear2many each day your getting closer to that light!
What a AMAZING canning haul !! Everything looks great !! Your doing a wonderful job Momma bear !! And you have some amazing helpers ❤..I love your canning/Gardening videos 😊
Thank you so much!😊
Your very welcome 😊@@mommabear2many
Love seeing all of you as a family helping to provide for each other. Such wonderful skills you are teaching!
Thank you so much!😊
Nothing beats homemade dill pickles.
So much work for your family! A great job and your children all work so well together. You should be so very proud!
Thank you!😊
On average how many cans do you can per year for your large family? Your videos make my heart happy. I love how you all work together for the greater good of your family.
I’m curious too!
That’s a hard one over 1,000 probably closer to 2000 I have a video coming up going over this sept 2 called what do I do with it all. Kind of a break down.
Momma Bear, watching you all is fascinating. You just popped up on one of Jessica’s and I c
Came and found you. I have a feeling that you are close to taking off on your channel!!
Aww thank you! So glad to have you here!
I just found your channel super late last night ❤❤❤ and have been watching all night.. this particular video makes my heart KNOW you are the truest form of a busy LOVING NO MATTER WHAT is happening as long as the kids are happy you are happy.. i dunno if anyone else noticed during the pickle jar rim cleaning we were serenaded by a child with the dreaded straw whistle 😂😂😂😂 it was adorable but man.. whoever invented those and the whistler ones should really be institutionalized 😂😂😂😂 i dont have kids.. im a professional auntie.. i am known in ny family as the one who allows the kids to do the funny, messy, loud, dirty, wild fun things and am also known for giving the absolute worst gifts in the eyes of parents😂😂❤❤❤ you guys work so hard!! Much love ❤❤❤
Aw thank you 😊 I bet you are a wonderful Auntie.
learning the recorder...ive never knew how many times a blast off, 3 blind mice helped me threw life, its a skill, also a skill is a mother oblivious to a recording session lol xxx
Because I am a Vegan I adapt your meals to suit us. They turn out really nice. Thank you.
I'm so glad! 😁. We ate vegetarian for a few years. I have some good recipes but a lot are higher carb. I used to make a sweet potato and black bean spicy burger it was so yummy!
I am just amazed how much your family gets done in a day!! I can’t even imagine how many canning jars you have! Do you get them at yard sales or from other people?? What beautiful lessons you are sharing with your family and all the RUclips families!
Yes I get a lot at yard sales. Every year our family grows every year our collection grows lol I do buy them new as I need them as well.
You work very hard l am glad you children help you around the house good luck with your new baby
Thank you so much!
Wow, wow, wow! Great job getting it done. And your little helpers are adorable! So much glorious abundance. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I only ever dehydrate and freeze celery. Might try canning some.
Thank you so much! You should give it a try! I love dehydrated as well.
Best prepping advise is to get a freezer monitor when you have a full freezer. Best piece of mind you never knew you needed.
I’ll look into that never heard of one
New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!😊. So glad to have you here.
Yes it is going good. Canned carrot, chicken broth, dehydrated sage, basil and oregano. Made spaghetti sauce with my daughter. Froze pumpkin bread and mini blueberry coffee cake.
Sounds great! 😊 I bet you house smells lovely!
You are an inspiration⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Cathy
Wow you are doing an amazing job. I love when you go around your garden and your children follow you doing a great job gathering all the harvest.
Thanks so much!
Love your videos…. My cats name is Sweet P, and I am a diabetic!!!! Grew up canning with family n friends and church family.
You have amazing helpers - some young adults who are very helpful. You did a great job in training them I was thinking that there was a time when your children were all younger and you didn’t have the older ones to help. It must have been very different. My children helped as well. I’m very much a homemaker, but as much as my children helped me when they were younger, my girls, though very girlie, didn’t grow up to have as much interest in home making as me. And my son and son-in-law, very much tough men, are the ones who enjoy cooking.
Yes when they were all younger my husband worked over nights or second shift so I would can or prep food from there bedtime until about midnight. Lots of baby wearing in those days.
I agree about the potatoes, we also fry our canned potatoes, bake in the oven and of course put in soup and stews God to bless
Oh I also like to put a clove a garlic and a pepper in my dill pickles
Also you can put peaches in boiling water for a minute like you do tomatoes put in cold water and the skin will come off easy
Yes if I was just canning peaches I would do this. But these were super small so I was trying to make the best use of what we have.
If you dip the peaches in boiling water for a minute or 2, the skins pull right off making it faster
Yes if my peaches were bigger I would have.
Working hard together - I don't know if I should tell you, but the leek greens you are processing I usually cut off and throw away - your videos are teaching me to reconsider how I use food, thank you !
That’s ok I used to as well! We learn something new all the time.
Me too, thinking back, oh boy, what a waste.
You said that every little bit counts is so right.
With the price of everything, even being on my own now, it still counts.
I want to thank you for teaching me the freezer meals. One freezer meal for me is great because I have leftovers.
Awww thanks glad you can use it. Around Christmas I did a bunch of small freezer meals for my son and his wife. It should be in the freezer meal playlist Dec 2023.
I’m sure you know this but I always have tuna around to eat when I’m trying to level out my blood sugar. The protein releases faster in the body which helps me to maintain. I hope your sweet babygirl feels better
@@aletheawalters8100 thank you! 😊
I’m with hun . I don’t blanch a lot of my veggies . So much better to . GODBLESS YOU ALL ❤❤❤❤❤
Just found your channel. Absolutely love it and your family you are such a blessing
Thank you so much!😊
You just simply inspire me ! I am praying for you in these last days before baby comes.The days are not easy....but I appreciate your honesty and genuine faith through it all. Your family will be so blessed now and this winter with all your drive and organization to use what God has provided. Watching the ways of the household is so key !
Thank you so much!😊
Than u so much for giving an honest opinion. I guess the real test is to can it and see if it will work for my family. 😊👍🏽
Yes we have been canning for about 20 years but seriously about 12. Figuring out what works for your family is key!
I would turn on a few movies to listen/watch while doing this:)
Sometimes we listen to audiobooks and podcasts.
Your family is amazing!!!
@@jeanbeaudreault2458 thank you
Praying for that doctor's appt. And yea, i know its already over.
There’s forever drs appointments so I appreciate your prayers!
Love this! We have a smaller family (family of 5) but my kids love to help can as well. In fact, I've been listening/watching while I've been canning beans for our pantry.
I tend to watch listen to videos while canning as well!
Reminds me of my grandma canning she used everything what fell on the floor went to the hog we raised every year ❤
Many people are wrong in throwing away the celery leaves. They are so flavoursome! I use them in my chicken soups and they are delicious. I am super glad you also use them.
I wish you very well. You seem a very good woman and I am sure your baby will do ok when he is born. God Bless you and your lovely family.
Yes they are so flavorful I agree! Thank you!😊
I add celery leaves to salads.
Sweet garlic dill pickles are yummy. Love watching your canning videos.
I like with garlic hubby doesn’t he eats more dills do currently he wins 😂
You all have been really busy super awesome Praying for you and your baby and all the family 😊❤ God Bless You all❤
Thank you! You too!
I’m late but I’m here! So satisfying to see all of those jars! ❤ y’all are an amazing family! I’m praying for that sweet baby Please get some rest when possible ❤
Thank you so much!!😊
You're blessing many with your knowledge videos! We can all learn from each other ❤❤❤hugs to your family ❤
Thank you so much!😊
Hello, great canning/harvest day. So nice you all work together. Alot of hard work but so worth it. Have a great weekend. 😊
Thank you! You too!
Listening to the kids outside on the little flutes (I forgot the name of the horn).
It reminds me of when my daughter who is now 45 had one and she was blowing it all around the house.
A subscriber bought them for us off of our wish list the older kids are learning the little kids are “ making music”. 😂
Lots of hard work you and the girls did an amazing job mama sending blessings for the week 😊😊😊
Thanks so much! Have a wonderful week!
There used to be a tv show called ‘Extreme Makeover’ where they accomplished a house makeover in a few days. My daughter helped when it was in our town and was in the house when they said, ‘Move that Bus!’ for the reveal. Anyway, I thought of that show when I saw your massive canning. This episode should be, ‘Extreme Canning!’ Move that bump! 😄 And we saw the big reveal of all those canning jars. Great job!
I like sweet pickles - my mom’s recipe. I also like Bread and Butter pickles. My aunt made a really delicious cucumber ‘lime’ type pickle.
lol too funny!
This is awesome
oh wow momma bear and girls that a great haul and restock up,
Thank you 🤗
Wow! God bless you and your family
I love both, crisp dill and crisp bread and butter. I love to use a lot of both kinds in chicken salad and tuna salad. With a bunch of hard boiled eggs, celery, onions, a little bit of shredded carrots. It is good and delicious!!!
Thanks for sharing!! Yum!😋
I generally get 5 qts for 10 lbs of tators. We have 3 of us left at home so We don’t do nearly as much as you. I am amazed at how much you all get done. This week we have done several freezer meals. Doing canned potatoes, French onion soup, more pasta sauce, and maybe carrots. Keeping me inspired. I was talking to hubby this morning about getting another freezer as well. We rearranged the chest freezer and need more room.
Your plans sound so yummy!
My brother-in-law had a similar Isai with his insulin and they found out that it was “bad”. It was still in date and had been refrigerated while it was in their home but it was not working. Praying you can get the issue resolved 🙏🏻
That stinks. It can happen. For her it was wrong carb count
amazing how much you people get done great video ty for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Wow, that’s a lot of canning. Good job and happy eating. 😊
Thank you 😋
You are one hard working family. I can see many delicious meals in your future.
Yes, thank you!
❤
My favorite pickle is the bread and butter pickle.
My mom use to make all kinds of pickles.
I found you through Jennifer from A Country Life and I just have to say WOW! I am so impressed with you and your daughter’s hard work. I have never canned myself but I enjoy watching others do it and it makes me hope that someday I can, too…pun intended lol. I have subscribed and look forward to watching many more of your videos.😊
Thank you so much! Don’t be to afraid not to try. I think sometimes we tell ourselves it’s harder than it is. I’m sure you will do great!
I use the boiling water method for peeling peaches. The peels slip right off. I do that with tomatoes as well.
I do that with big peaches ours are super tiny just trying to make use of them.
I see a lot of work here that will benefit your family greatly. Good job
Yes, thank you!
So inspiring.
You guys are kicking!
Sending prayers snd Love to you and yours❤
Awww thank you!😊
Wow you have a little factory going there!! So wonderful to see the whole family working together! It will serve them well when they get older. I have a friend who gave me a few superb lids to try. it might be me but I have as much trouble with the For Jar lids and they are so expensive!
I have loved the superb they work out to be the same price as the Walmart ones.
I prefer bread and butter pickles but every now and then I love a good crispy dill pickle🥒
Same!
You glow when pregnant look so at peace
Aww that’s sweet!
I’m not making fun. I got a little chuckle at your expense, though. At 5:23 I thought you said that you are going to make yourself some more ‘rum’ - but the word you meant was ‘room’ as rhymes with broom. LOL! Well, did you make yourself some more rum? 😃 That’s ok. Here in Minnesota we have our own accent going. Ya sure! You betcha! 😆
At the end you said room as in broom so my ears must have heard wrong earlier but I still chuckle about that rum.
lol I always chuckle when people say warsh instead of wash. I’ll laugh right with you.
How do you use leaks in food prep?
Do you make tomato soup or juice? Pizza sauce, marinera sauce???
Love love love your videos…. Hugs from Germany ❤
Wow girl, you and your family sure have a lot going on.
Yes we do! Feeling so blessed by it.
My favorite pickles are beetroot and onions. My children love dill pickles. I made loads last year and none this year as the cucumber plants didn't grow or were chomped on, thankfully I have plenty left on the shelves x
A bunch of us love pickled beets! I. Never had them until I was an adult but yummy!
Dill pickles are my favorite. Dont care for any kind of sweet pickles. 😊
My husband prefers dulls as well. It kind of funny because bread and butter and dill have almost the same sugar but bread and butter taste sweet and dulls don’t so odd.
Bless your family ❤
Thank you!😊
I love celery powder.
Me too
Great job everyone ❤
Thank you!😊
Momma bear? Have you tried dry packing your potatoes? Ruthann at Zimmerman Homestead channel does this technique. I really love the way all your children are involved in the process.
Never heard of it ?
This is an amazing video.
Thank you!😊

Love love love your videos…. Hugs from Germany ❤I love watching the littles help you can the food!!!
I would use as onions, potato and leek soup. I make salsa and puree tomatoes. I then use puréed tomato to make other products.

I like apricot chicken. I wonder if the peach jam would be similarly delicious on your pork? 🐖
I do like peach and pork. Peach and steak strips is good as well!
Fantastic teamwork ❤ your canning pantry must be massive. How long does it take to name each jar.
To name each jar? I’m a bit confused by the question.
@mommabear2many I suppose I meant at the end of each canning day. You guys work so hard. Or maybe you don't name each one
Bread and butter are my favorite but I do like dill pickle
I just found your channel . Love it. Please tell me about your hanging veg. Drier. Never seen one like that. How long does it take to dry ? Thank you
I use it for herbs a few days. I have it linked in my Amazon storefront.
Do any of the boys help with the garden or the preservation cooking?
Yeap the boys overall prefer not to be on camera. But yes they have a kitchen day as well where they make the meals. My girls also split wood and some can run chainsaws 😊
Do you make apple/peach pie/crisp filling ???
Peach salsa ….
Sometimes I do pie filling.
Hi I'm new to your channel and I admire you for choosing life lifestyle AMEN! I am also new to canning and I'm wondering what do your potatoes taste like after canning? I know that you may not have showed all the steps for the sake of editing etc. Do potatoes taste starchy or do they stick together like glue? Can you give us an idea how they taste or maybe some tips on what to do to prevent potatoes sticking together? I've seen the dry canning method and Im just wondering 🤔 thanks for sharing and hopefully I'll see you in the next video Blessings!
So the potatoes canned like this are good as fried potatoes or in soups. Yea they get a bit starchy I just give a quick rinse if needed. For soup I don’t bother as it will thicken the stew slightly but for fried potatoes I do. They do hold their shape and taste lovely. But not good for mashed they tend to be gummy. I hope that explains it lol not my best attribute describing things but I hope this helps a bit.
Any chance of getting the peach nectar recipe with the amounts of spices?
First time viewer here. Very inspiring! You have so many wonderful daughters…..are there sons? Had 5 boys then 1 girl ❤
4 boys and 1 on the way and 10 girls.
People don’t know how scary it can be to have a type 1 diabetic child, it is so tricky to keep blood sugar consistent, especially at the beginning when starting with insulin. You bring it all back to me. My child is an older adult now and he is an expert.
Yes it is very scary. Especially the overnight beeps you jump up ready for the day.
Forgot to mention, canning zucchini tomatoes and onion (national centre for home food recipe), 7 quarts yesterday and probably that plus 16 pints today.
Here fromThree Rivers Homestead
So glad to have you!
Well...... I'm tired just watching you guys :) A lot happening at your house for sure :)
Yes almost at the end probably 2 more weeks.
@@mommabear2many My garden is winding down and we have another heat wave again. That should end the summer garden. I do have some roots veggies planted for the fall crop. I will baby those along. I still have my kale and lettuce type seeds to plant yet. I was blessed to be able to share some stuff with neighbors and our blessing box in our little town. That always makes my heart happy :)
Never seen anyone can celery. I'm wondering what the texture ends up being and what do you use it for.
Soups and stews or cream of celery soup to add to main dishes
How long do you pressure can a pint of celery for? I love your channel.
Where we live 30 mins 10 lbs pressure.
Whew..I get tired watching you. I worked outside at my neighbors cleaning yard& weeding.& some in my yard. I had to come in , I was ringing wet.its really hot , humid; sunny.I bet it's been like that for you. All tht food will be so helpful when you are in hospital. You are luckey to have girls help you,but your no slouch eiether!! Yoj are glowing right now..how much weight did you gain? That dress looks good on you.😂. Dressing for comfort is a must!! I love pickles..when my boys were young I would put my pickles in fridge that we were eating & the next day I would go& get them out for lunch& the juice would be gone😂. They love any kind of pickle juice( so funny! Gotta love kids,but it's really good for you.❤ Do your kids do nutty stuff? Well Take care young lady& God Bless..We love you all.💞💙🙏🌻🌴
I know I look huge but I haven’t gain a lb. I’m trying to eat like crazy so this baby will grow☺️
@@mommabear2many How could you not have gained? Weird..What was the average weight of your children,& what did you usually weigh?
I can never get my pickles crispy
