TIP for storing empty jars: can't remember where I saw this but when you empty a jar, wash it and fill it with water and put the lid back on. Then store it in your empty spot. That way if you ever need water, you have some. If not, use it for something else when you need the jar. Brilliant!
I heard it from the Provident Prepper. They recommend sterilizing water a batch at a time in the jars so it can be used without needing to filter if needed.
@dannmartinez2145 Excellent tip. But be sure the jars are not in direct sunlight with water in them. The water acts like a magnifier, and it can start a fire. Ask me how I know. (Actually, it wasn’t me that started the fire, but I was still at home when my mother did.)
I thank you so much for posting this comment. I prefer to reuse and repurposed a great deal of stuff most people consider to be trash. On of my favorite things to do when I purchase certain items such as onions, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, ginger, or any other items is to prepare it for cooking use and fill up glass jars. I store them in my fridge until I am ready to cook something. This is something I started doing years ago to avoid having to do it when I wanted to add them to the meals I was cooking. I use them pretty fasy, and nothing was ever wasted.
Its art of work for your stomach in the coldy winter days and nights ... :)) In Bulgaria before the reform (1989) every house got this jars with everything... Fruits and veggies also we make (kompot) its a fruit made drink :p
I love the canned cherries from Aldi, they are very popular in Germany. We drain the liquid and cook it with some cornstarch to thicken it, add the cherries and some cinnamon in and eat the hot cherries on top of waffles with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or vanilla custard.
@@rockchica09 i miss Milchreis! I moved to Australia 7 years ago. I haven’t found any good rice pudding here nor have I mastered making it at home. I do still make semolina pudding from time to time, my son loves it too
You are very well stocked up and have a great system. This must be the cleanest and tidiest basement I have ever seen. You are very skilled and knowledgeable for one so young.
What a work of art! You are amazing...3 children that you homeschool, an immaculate home and a stash in the basement that would revile most people who can food. Now I'm going to go and watch all your canning videos!! 😃❤️
You are a great inspiration for me. I also want to see your canning videos. I'm from South Africa and the situation here is really bad. Food get scarcer and more expensive by the day because of the farm murders. Also the electricity supply is unstable. The most important items for me are potatoes and onions. I look forward to watch your videos to prep them.
Those canned fruits, vegetables, and meats look wonderful. I encourage you to put a 3-4 inch barrier on the front sides of your racks for security purposes (like earthquakes, accidents, etc). Also, you can turn your storage jars upside down in the boxes so they stay cleaner. I also put wax paper or shelving liner in the base of the boxes to help keep the rims safe from damage. With newly purchased jars, I take the lids and bands off the jars and store separately. I think maybe the lids will last longer and be better for canning if they are not compressed with the bands. This is a wonderful pantry!
Wow that's awesome and such a clean basement too! Not to even mention a ton of work! Holy moly you go girl, you make the rest of us look like lazy bums. Great video. Love and hugs from Texas 🐰🐣
It's wonderful that you have such a family heritage. I wish my paternal grandmother was still alive so that I could learn canning from her. I really enjoyed seeing your basement. My husband and I are in the process of purchasing a new farm. It has a house that was built in 1965 and has a basement that I am planning to convert part of it into a pantry/root cellar area.
I knew your pantry would be great but wow!! You out did yourself Adaline. It's amazing. I'd love a freezer tour. You have a great supply stocked up. Love your sweet family.
If you water bath can you can reuse the jars from your stores, as long as the lid isn’t damaged it’s good to go. But yes the jars are a small fortune but for long term storage it’s a good investment. I’m very jealous of it too, we will have our own storage one day!
This was extremely satisfying! You have been my BIGGEST inspiration to can my own food. I've always had an interest in growing and harvesting my own food and always wanted to get into canning, but never really knew anyone who did it or that could teach me. After watching you (for years, at this point), I am into all of it. Growing, harvesting, canning, dehydrating, extracting.... I literally want to do it all. Especially now, with inflation and the price of everything being absurd, it would be so reassuring knowing that I could still feed my family for years. Not to mention how beautiful it all looks in the cans. Food really does just look so pretty all in rows of cans like that. I am interested in learning EVERYTHING that you want to show us, even the butter. Lol.
I love the basements well thought out design. I was a little surprised to not see a freeze drier lurking down there. My only question would be "Do you have a single sister with your skills and beauty?"
Amazing!! Thank you for sharing this lost art with all of us!! Some of us have never had the blessing of older generations teaching us any of these things. I'm learning so much from both of your channels---Please continue to expand your channel with videos like this! Thank you for all of your hard work, time and for sharing your strategies on how we can better care for our families!! You are such an inspiration to all of us, Adaline, and I'm so thankful for you!! :)
My mom did a lot of canning when I was young. I loved the process of her delicious canned food, more than anything store bought. As the result of this healthy start in my own life, I learned that this is something I wish to continue to pass on to my son. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.❤❤❤
I accidentally stumbled onto your video and was fascinated with all that you have canned and your enthusiasm in sharing information. The only “canning” I do is making kimchee. I often invite about 6 to 8 people over who have never made kimchee and put them to work. After 4 hours we have canned enough for everyone to go home with a few jars each. I only have surplus foods to cover for two weeks, I call it my hurricane food. Here in Louisiana, you should be prepared. I am. Thanks again!
First time to your channel! Super inspiring! You should definitely render lard! It’s soooo easy! We raise pigs for butcher and I felt intimidated to try to render lard. It’s depressing to think how much I wasted before I got brave enough to try. So simple! I put mine in the crockpot on low and turn the lid offset enough to allow steam to escape. Give it a stir every once in a while, then when it’s all melted we run through a coffee filter into mason jars. Let it cool down a bit before throwing a lid on. That’s it! Shelf stable. So cool!
LOVE IT!! we are building a 7000 sq ft home and have a cold cellar but could never fit all that in there and I dehydrate, can etc alot! Love how you arrange your shelves...and love your tips...you are amazing!!!
If you need one more avenue to use up peaches try Rosy Peach Banana Jam. (You can find recipes on-line). Everybody loves this stuff! If you're not going through the pears try heating them up and putting a pinch or two of apple pie spice in them (and even a dollop of cherry juice to make them pretty). warm spiced pears are very nice.
I would love to see how you track everything you have and what your turnaround is. Do you go through everything before it goes bad? Also, how do you meal plan with all this? It is really awesome!
With canning it can last up to 5 years if done right but I’d recommend using them within 2 years depending on what it is, if left in direct light it may discolour but it should be edible. It also really depends on what you’re storing for, i as a prepper look for long term whilst some like to store for the winter.
Roasted or char chilies on grill, open fire, on hot cast iron griddle, or even in the oven. Then add them into a plastic bag while still very warm..close up the bag and let sit for avout 30 mins to an hour...it will sweat and the skins will easily peel, slide off , can use spoon to lightly scrap down the chilies to help get the skins off. Half my family is mexican and this is a regular job in the kitchen. Happy canning!
My maiden name is also Zook and both husband and I were raised Mennonite. Love your basement full of canned and pantry foods. We will enjoy following you, thanks so much.
Hello from New Mexico! When we process green chile, we roast and let them sweat in plastic bags until they're cool enough to handle. This makes them easier to peel, and oftentimes, you can kind of squeeze the skins off and seeds out at the same time.
Ohhh thank you for this tip! They were so difficult to peel I ended up not canning them.. I had gotten them for free so I didn’t feel too big of a loss. I may have to give it another try with this tip!
Yes! This! I taught my friends to hold the stem & it's almost like "strip" milking a cow. It just slips right off. I learned it when I lived not far from Hatch.
Also living in New Mexico ❤️ I agree, get them roasted then leave in Ziploc bags to steam. Then you can peel, stem and deseed. But, here's another tip.... And this is what I did. Just can them whole. Roasted, with peel and all. Process as you would any pepper.
yes u can't skip the steaming step!!! also, dehydrate or FD the skins & seeds then powder for spicy pepper seasoning (like green paprika)...must use anaheim or hatch chili peppers
I grew ip in a large family and parents from the 1950's. Seeing this reminded me of my roots and inspiring to work hard at get my storage up. Thank you for your videos.
A good tip I received and it’s served us well for the cooking wine (we don’t drink so it will be wasted if I don’t use it all) Get the 4 packs of small wine bottles! I keep those in my pantry and one bottle always seems to be the portion the recipe calls for anyways! Your so inspiring thanks for the tour ❤
I have everything you have lol 😂 this was the best episode I've seen because English don't know how our family roots are. It's in our blood. P.s. I canned potatoes with peels on....spread in a pan olive oil seasonings like pink salt Italian whatever and baked. Soooooo good
I want to thank you again for your inspiration. After several years of disorganization, I finally got my pantry organized! I couldn't have done it without you! I was struggling to wrap my head around it! Thank you again!
I love having bone broth & canned soup on my shelves. My husband & son aren’t big soup eaters, but I am. So I can open a pint & just heat it up. Love that. One soup my husband likes is cheeseburger, which I made tonight! So easy bc I used canned burger, bone broth, roasted garlic cheese (I got a block of from an Amish bulk food store) & used evaporated vs cream. I buy that & powdered milk in bulk as well. I cook with those, which saves me a lot bc cream is outrageously priced.
I was so tired Last night I didn't feel like watching a 40+ minutes video. So B4 bed I position my Remote in a different area to remind me to View this Clip the Next day, & Here I am watching it. The Pandemic was only 2 years and a Few months Ago, & when I saw Thumbs Nail of this Clip, my Radar tells me Whether or not Mrs. Zoom has videos on how to can these Items, I need to Look up Cannings Videos & prepare myself! Bad times may get Worse, and I'm going to Fill all of my Cabinets from Bottom to Top, and One area in The Wash Room. Buy Cartoons of Water vs Plastic, a portable Generator, Etc! The US is starting to look like a 3rd world country! I'm Glad I saw this Clip! I asked God for Wisdom and it's up to me to use it or Lose it!
Wow ~very inspiring. Your a Winner! You have the Best Food Cellar of all. My husband and I planning to move in Upstate New York and will buy house & land. Definitely we’ll follow the beautiful design of your food cellar big,clean & organized!
We live out on an acre of land in Arizona....living in a RV does not give us much room so my hubby hand dug a cellar and we store the food we dehydrate and can in it. Not beautiful like yours but it does the job and keep our food cool. My back ground is Nebraska farmers and they always put food storage away and also raised a Mormon we were taught to that.
I loved the tip with the tomato for how to can corn and it taste good. I am a new canner and thirsty for knowledge. I would love to see you can butter. I have done one canning round and it came out great. I also appreciated all your info on canning fruit and the things you can do with the juice! I can’t wait to see other videos you have produced.
That is incredible. You all have done an amazing job. Love that you are carrying on a family tradition that is also such a great thing. I agree with you on the do more now instead of doing it more often. All that space is such a blessing.
One of my favorite exhibits at the State Fair, canning with all those pretty ribbons & beautiful, filled jars. I use used pickle juice to pickle my garden vegetables.
Mercy girl you have been busy and I know you always stay busy no matter what! God bless you for all you do. These shelves of food are so amazing. It looks like a candy store! I wish we all were so prepared. I think it would do everyone good to help save with the way this world is these past few years! Blessings
Great Job. My concern is that it looks like you need some more bracing down the middle of your shelves. The video looks like the wood is bowing already. I really do hope it does not fail. The vegi-section looks bad. Love your ideas for how to repurpose stuff. Great Job!
I love your shelves! I am turning a bedroom into a walk in pantry but have no shelves! So tired of having everything in closets and under beds …what a beautiful pantry you have
I agree with every ones comments remarking how beautiful and organized your canned goods are. My problem, I don't have a basement and don't have space for such deep shelves. I've got canned goods under beds, in closets, on book shelves, on nice wire shelves. I even have store canned goods on the FIFO rolling racks. I moved a bed out of the original room and its full. I have to do something else because trying to find things is becoming a problem.
This pantry is beautiful Adeline!! Aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Here in Australia, sliced pickled beetroot is traditionally served on burgers, it’s an absolute staple and so yummy. It may sound weird but I definitely suggest you give it a try. It is sweet and sour, a bit like cucumber pickles🤗🤗💖💖
We just call them pickled beets. They are also good warmed up and eaten as is. Saw them served in a restaurant in Arkansas like that. Otherwise put them in lettuce salads.
I have a little tip for you. Like you I like spicy salsa and yes hot sauce does not work. It doesn’t taste great. However, if you want to spice up your salsa, a good quality cayenne pepper will have the desired effect you want without taking anything away from the salsa. I do it all the time because not everyone I know likes my heat level so it is a way for me to get around that.
Holy hanna.. You rock young women, thats amazing..good for you. All that stuff will last 10 yrs..You must of been behind the canner for 1000 hrs...lol Never seen anybody this good and Ive seen alot of videos..cudos to you. You put me to shame and I have been prepping 5 yrs. you are unbelievable. Im blown away... I canned hatch green chilis they were $25 for 15 pounds it was fine not to hard...
😍I will need to watch this veido twice. I'm so distracted by the level of organization and study shelving system. You level of organization is always amazing👏👏👏👏👏
You are so organized! The one thing I do is use a magic marker and write the expiration date on the label or lid. I hate trying to find the exp. date. It helps me out alot.
As soon as you roast your chilis on the grill, throw them in a plastic grocery bag until you are ready to work on them, usually when they cool. The skins just peel off, easier than peeling an egg! That what we do in the Southwest.
Wow! Talk about GOALS?! This is incredible. I'm in the beginning stages or learning how to do ALL of this. You video makes me excited to start. Thanks so much for sharing.
This video is very inspirational. I want to organize and make my space as beautiful as you have. You are such a gem for sharing with us. Thank you. I wish I had your great wealth of knowledge having your amish and menninite family members. Good for you on recognizing those assets.
It's all so pretty looking! U did great Adaline. I love how the older generation teaches the younger ones just like my family always did. We've always had big gardens so freezing and canning the produce is so yummy. Thanks for sharing...
So beautiful. It's great to have real knowledge on canning. My grandma and mother canned a lot of blackberries in their days. We loved having blackberry dumplings growing up.
WWWWOOOOOOOOWWW! Absolutely amazing, I always wondered where you stored all this stuff you make. It is an organizational dream. You are one amazing mama & woman!! Absolutely fascinating.
Mustard relish, what?!? I have never heard of that before. That sounds delicious!! Please share! Your shelves are beautiful!! What a labor of love for your family. You gave me the confidence to try to can and I successfully canned strawberry jam. It is so yummy and my boys love it!! Thank you! Please continue to share and teach us!! 💜
Adaline, impressive to say the least, the only item of concern based on bad experience would be nothing is secured in place. Cross rails between post would be a big plus. Placing cardboard between the jars, etc. Reason being in a low-level earthquake the loss would be heart breaking, in a large movement it would be devastating to the glass. Surely. others can speak of means and methods in securing the jars to prevent them from breakage. Thank you for sharing and truly inspirational.
I used to do this just like you. You are awesome some... after 7 heart surgery no longer can. But have amazed long term, short term pantry. Freezers are full 2.
That is the most beautiful display of home canned goods that I have ever seen in my LIFE! So MUCH hard work and such a wonderful, healthy, variety of food. GREAT JOB! I am, however, suspicious of THOSE shelves holding all the weight that's there NOW without adding more goods. I would CRY if you had even a partial collapse and loss (It'd be like when JFK was shot when I was a kid kind of cry). Y'all have really got it made...I am envious of you being able to have a basement...Water table is too high where I live. God bless you for sharing!
For the chilis when you roast them you put them in a plastic bag while they're still hot sot hey steam up. let them sit for an hour or so and then you lightly rub them while rinsing and the skin will come off easy.
TIP for storing empty jars: can't remember where I saw this but when you empty a jar, wash it and fill it with water and put the lid back on. Then store it in your empty spot. That way if you ever need water, you have some. If not, use it for something else when you need the jar. Brilliant!
Rose Red Homestead suggested that tip❤️
I heard it from the Provident Prepper. They recommend sterilizing water a batch at a time in the jars so it can be used without needing to filter if needed.
I do this when I'm a jar short in a canner, I do a water jar, and wallah sterilized water in case of emergency
@dannmartinez2145 Excellent tip. But be sure the jars are not in direct sunlight with water in them. The water acts like a magnifier, and it can start a fire. Ask me how I know. (Actually, it wasn’t me that started the fire, but I was still at home when my mother did.)

Omg! Those filled shelves are a work of art!! It's such a beautiful very satisfying space. All your hard work and love on display.
That’s exactly how I feel! It’s an art! Definitely my favorite hobby 😉
This is honestly the most beautiful cellar I have ever seen! I'm sooooo impressed!😘🤗❤🌼🌟
Hope you're ready to lose it all , sharing on a public forum is a stupid thing to do .
Move it or lose it .
I’m so jealous! 😂
Its art of work for your stomach in the coldy winter days and nights ... :)) In Bulgaria before the reform (1989) every house got this jars with everything... Fruits and veggies also we make (kompot) its a fruit made drink :p

As a fellow German, I can confirm :) Also great on rice pudding or semolina pudding :)
@@rockchica09 i miss Milchreis! I moved to Australia 7 years ago. I haven’t found any good rice pudding here nor have I mastered making it at home. I do still make semolina pudding from time to time, my son loves it too
I do the same with tart cherries from Aldis for pie. I’m don’t make it often because my husband doesn’t need too many pies. 💙
You are very well stocked up and have a great system. This must be the cleanest and tidiest basement I have ever seen. You are very skilled and knowledgeable for one so young.
What a work of art! You are amazing...3 children that you homeschool, an immaculate home and a stash in the basement that would revile most people who can food. Now I'm going to go and watch all your canning videos!! 😃❤️

@@willeenthiart5401 Hugs and Prayers your way. Stay safe and well!
This has to be the most awesome pantry/food storage that I've ever seen! and the extra stove in the basement to can is really nice!
Agreed! It’s amazing!

Girl with all your knowledge, you should write a book with all your canning recipes.. your basement food storage is so awesome
Your canning shelves are stunning! Your product is a sight to behold. I’m sure your family can taste the love you put into everything!
Freezer tour. Yes. I’m new to your channel but oh I’m needing all of this information , so please keep sharing .
My deceased German grand ma would be proud of you. Bravo
Wow that's awesome and such a clean basement too! Not to even mention a ton of work! Holy moly you go girl, you make the rest of us look like lazy bums. Great video. Love and hugs from Texas 🐰🐣

It is absolutely amazing though I am very jealous!!!

I was so tired Last night I didn't feel like watching a 40+ minutes video. So B4 bed I position my Remote in a different area to remind me to View this Clip the Next day, & Here I am watching it. The Pandemic was only 2 years and a Few months Ago, & when I saw Thumbs Nail of this Clip, my Radar tells me Whether or not Mrs. Zoom has videos on how to can these Items, I need to Look up Cannings Videos & prepare myself!
Bad times may get Worse, and I'm going to Fill all of my Cabinets from Bottom to Top, and One area in The Wash Room.
Buy Cartoons of Water vs Plastic, a portable Generator, Etc!
The US is starting to look like a 3rd world country! I'm Glad I saw this Clip! I asked God for Wisdom and it's up to me to use it or Lose it!
That is so impressive!! I wish we had basements in South Texas!
Wow ~very inspiring. Your a Winner! You have the Best Food Cellar of all. My husband and I planning to move in Upstate New York and will buy house & land. Definitely we’ll follow the beautiful design of your food cellar big,clean & organized!
Just moved to the mountains recently and cannot wait to start building growing and, of course canning
You are something else. That’s in a good way. God bless you
We live out on an acre of land in Arizona....living in a RV does not give us much room so my hubby hand dug a cellar and we store the food we dehydrate and can in it. Not beautiful like yours but it does the job and keep our food cool. My back ground is Nebraska farmers and they always put food storage away and also raised a Mormon we were taught to that.
I’d be interested in seeing how you make your tinctures. Great video! You’ve done great at all the canning and food storage.
I make ghee instead of butter. The smoke point is the highest of oils and the taste is so yummy! ❤😊
I loved the tip with the tomato for how to can corn and it taste good. I am a new canner and thirsty for knowledge. I would love to see you can butter. I have done one canning round and it came out great. I also appreciated all your info on canning fruit and the things you can do with the juice! I can’t wait to see other videos you have produced.
That is incredible. You all have done an amazing job. Love that you are carrying on a family tradition that is also such a great thing. I agree with you on the do more now instead of doing it more often. All that space is such a blessing.
One of my favorite exhibits at the State Fair, canning with all those pretty ribbons & beautiful, filled jars. I use used pickle juice to pickle my garden vegetables.
Mercy girl you have been busy and I know you always stay busy no matter what! God bless you for all you do. These shelves of food are so amazing. It looks like a candy store! I wish we all were so prepared. I think it would do everyone good to help save with the way this world is these past few years!
Blessings
You are so very motivating and encouraging, I love the comforting aspect of your voice it's so soothing 😊
SOO VERY SMART TO CAN AND PRESERVE YOUR OWN FOOD, IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE TO HAVE AND PASS DOWN/ON
That is an extremely impressive pantry, thank you for sharing.😀
Almond milk tip❤❤❤ 2T almond butter in blender with water to taste. Add a prune for flavor if you want. INSTANT ALMOND MILK!!!❤
haha I just got almond butter to try this today!
Yes! On canning butter tutorial.
I absolutely love this. When you homestead it's great to have a way to store enough of what you produce through winter!
I grew up doing this. My wife and I are getting back into canning. Great job looks awesome.
Great Job. My concern is that it looks like you need some more bracing down the middle of your shelves. The video looks like the wood is bowing already. I really do hope it does not fail. The vegi-section looks bad. Love your ideas for how to repurpose stuff. Great Job!
Amazing food storage!!❤ I took my blueberries out of the freezer and made jelly. Canning from the freezer lately.
I love your shelves! I am turning a bedroom into a walk in pantry but have no shelves! So tired of having everything in closets and under beds …what a beautiful pantry you have
I agree with every ones comments remarking how beautiful and organized your canned goods are. My problem, I don't have a basement and don't have space for such deep shelves. I've got canned goods under beds, in closets, on book shelves, on nice wire shelves. I even have store canned goods on the FIFO rolling racks. I moved a bed out of the original room and its full. I have to do something else because trying to find things is becoming a problem.
This pantry is beautiful Adeline!! Aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. Here in Australia, sliced pickled beetroot is traditionally served on burgers, it’s an absolute staple and so yummy. It may sound weird but I definitely suggest you give it a try. It is sweet and sour, a bit like cucumber pickles🤗🤗💖💖
That sound's like a great use for them!
We just call them pickled beets. They are also good warmed up and eaten as is. Saw them served in a restaurant in Arkansas like that. Otherwise put them in lettuce salads.
Can’t get a kiwi burger 🍔 without beetroot or a fried egg 😋
I have a little tip for you. Like you I like spicy salsa and yes hot sauce does not work. It doesn’t taste great. However, if you want to spice up your salsa, a good quality cayenne pepper will have the desired effect you want without taking anything away from the salsa. I do it all the time because not everyone I know likes my heat level so it is a way for me to get around that.
Holy hanna.. You rock young women, thats amazing..good for you. All that stuff will last 10 yrs..You must of been behind the canner for 1000 hrs...lol Never seen anybody this good and Ive seen alot of videos..cudos to you. You put me to shame and I have been prepping 5 yrs. you are unbelievable. Im blown away... I canned hatch green chilis they were $25 for 15 pounds it was fine not to hard...
😍I will need to watch this veido twice. I'm so distracted by the level of organization and study shelving system. You level of organization is always amazing👏👏👏👏👏
Wonderful. I’d put wood bars across glass 🥷🏻
You are so organized! The one thing I do is use a magic marker and write the expiration date on the label or lid. I hate trying to find the exp. date. It helps me out alot.
As soon as you roast your chilis on the grill, throw them in a plastic grocery bag until you are ready to work on them, usually when they cool. The skins just peel off, easier than peeling an egg! That what we do in the Southwest.
Wow what a beautiful pantry you have that's my dream to have a good party one day thank you for sharing.
my goodness you have been busy ! i store my empty jars upside down , keeps them dust and critter free .
ohh those long wooden shelves need some support in the middle with those heavy cans, can see the bend in the shelf :( BEAUTIFUL space!
Yukon potatoes with green beans canned is our family favorite.
I totally love this tour. Yes please do a freezer tour. Canning butter & lard too.
Wow! Talk about GOALS?! This is incredible. I'm in the beginning stages or learning how to do ALL of this. You video makes me excited to start. Thanks so much for sharing.
Being I'm someone who cans I know that took alot of money and time to get what you got . Good job! Your going to need it real soon.
Your pantry/food storage area is a thing of beauty and testament to all your hard work.
You are amazing and now I have a serious goal. Thank you for the inspiration. Your food storage is more than impressive.
❤❤❤🎉Your 😍 Beauty is natural in and out. Love from Africa 🌍😊❤
This video is very inspirational. I want to organize and make my space as beautiful as you have. You are such a gem for sharing with us. Thank you. I wish I had your great wealth of knowledge having your amish and menninite family members. Good for you on recognizing those assets.
It's all so pretty looking! U did great Adaline. I love how the older generation teaches the younger ones just like my family always did. We've always had big gardens so freezing and canning the produce is so yummy. Thanks for sharing...
I agree! I have always enjoyed learning for those older and wiser then me ☺️
Nice tour and im definitely going to check out the rest of your channel.
Yes, please to everything you asked if we wanted to see. I'm new to your channel and glad I found you!
I just found your channel by accident and I’m excited for all your canning shares to come thanks!
Wow !! Your basement is a canners dream !! ❤❤
So beautiful. It's great to have real knowledge on canning. My grandma and mother canned a lot of blackberries in their days. We loved having blackberry dumplings growing up.
Great video thank you!!
Please do a blueberry canning video also a strawberry one.
WWWWOOOOOOOOWWW! Absolutely amazing, I always wondered where you stored all this stuff you make. It is an organizational dream. You are one amazing mama & woman!! Absolutely fascinating.
I loved this video!! Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work with us! I would love to see a video on how you can butter!
Mark my words. This is going to be your viral video! Amazing!
Aweee thank you ☺️
Mustard relish, what?!? I have never heard of that before. That sounds delicious!! Please share! Your shelves are beautiful!! What a labor of love for your family. You gave me the confidence to try to can and I successfully canned strawberry jam. It is so yummy and my boys love it!! Thank you! Please continue to share and teach us!! 💜
I would love to see how you can butter, plus all the other goodies you're showing here. Thank you for your channel.
Adaline, impressive to say the least, the only item of concern based on bad experience would be nothing is secured in place. Cross rails between post would be a big plus. Placing cardboard between the jars, etc. Reason being in a low-level earthquake the loss would be heart breaking, in a large movement it would be devastating to the glass. Surely. others can speak of means and methods in securing the jars to prevent them from breakage. Thank you for sharing and truly inspirational.
Wow!! I’m just amazed!!!
Yes please . Would love to see what you freeze
I used to do this just like you. You are awesome some... after 7 heart surgery no longer can. But have amazed long term, short term pantry. Freezers are full 2.
That is the most beautiful display of home canned goods that I have ever seen in my LIFE! So MUCH hard work and such a wonderful, healthy, variety of food. GREAT JOB! I am, however, suspicious of THOSE shelves holding all the weight that's there NOW without adding more goods. I would CRY if you had even a partial collapse and loss (It'd be like when JFK was shot when I was a kid kind of cry). Y'all have really got it made...I am envious of you being able to have a basement...Water table is too high where I live. God bless you for sharing!
For the chilis when you roast them you put them in a plastic bag while they're still hot sot hey steam up. let them sit for an hour or so and then you lightly rub them while rinsing and the skin will come off easy.
I would love to see how to can butter.
Your shelves are so organized & beautiful. A lot of work but so worth it. Ty for sharing
First of all you’re soo pretty!! And your basement looks like a grocery store
