Preparing for the

- I am so excited! I can't believe August is already here. This will be a crazy busy month but it is so rewarding when it is done. I have already been canning some things but now I will go into full blown preservation mode during the month of August.
I have learned so much from doing this challenge. This is my third year and I am having to add shelves to my larder so that I can store the food I am planning on preserving. The first year There wasn't a whole lot but I was so happy with what I had done. Last year was amazing. This year will hopefully be able to help us feed our family through three months during the winter.
I am so thankful to Jessica @threerivershomestead for making this challenge. It is amazing all the work she does all year long. She is definitely my canning hero!
Here are the recipes for some of my favorites...
Canning Sausage Potato and Kale Soup (This is the link I used but they have changed the amount of potatoes. My printed recipe says 9 cups of potatoes and another recipe I saw says use 7 cups. You decide.)

Hoping to keep up with the every little bit counts challenge this year. You look like you’re well prepared to take it on!
Yay! I hope you can! Keep me updated! Blessings on your challenge! 😁
Last year, I was using pumpkin and butternut squash to make gnocchi. They turned out absolutely divine!
Ooooh! That sounds delicious! 🤤
@@OpenHandFarm
They were absolutely scrumptious 😋! Just make sure you get most of the moisture out of your canned squash first so you don't have to use more flour than necessary.
Thank you so much! Love your videos. I was SHOCKED to learn that we are so close to the challenge date, yikes! Love
You are so welcome Carolyn! Thank you so much for your kind compliment. I know right? I can’t believe it either. I have such a busy couple of weeks ahead of me so I hope to get enough done in the first three days. Blessings on your challenge! ❤️😁
I will be doing the Every bit Counts Challenge to on my channel. I love watching what everyone preserves, sometimes you can get great ideas! I have 7 chicken carcases waiting to be turned into bone broth and canned!
Yay! I’ll have to peek in and see what you are up to next month! I can’t wait! ❤️😁
You can make corn soups, creamed, with bacon, delicious!!
Oh…good idea! ❤️ Thanks for commenting! 😁
Enjoy your visit with your mom. How wonderful!
P.S. Love your pantry. Have you posted a video making the black beans or could you guide me to the recipe? Thank you!
Thanks so much! ❤️ yes, I do have a video. Here is the link…ruclips.net/video/eej8prwKxwE/видео.htmlsi=AVG3nZePVezCiX3x
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Blessings on your preserving! 😁
@@OpenHandFarm Thank you! I was going to ask for the recipe, too! Just discovered your channel and will do some binge watching 🤗 If you live in KC, I'm only a two hours' drive away!
Great! Enjoy! I do live in KC area! Would love to meet you! Send me an email…

Love the risers!! I need this! Also maybe drain the water off that butternut squash and make some pumpkin bread or a pumpkin pie out of it!
Thanks Sharon! Yes, pumpkin bread! I will do that! 😁 I love the risers too. I can’t wait to fill them all! Blessings on your week friend!
Take a batch of your older jars and can plain water in them,if they break it's only water not actual food .
Thanks Lisa!!!! ❤️
Hi there. For your fire roasted tomatoes are you putting them on a pan of some sort on the grill or directly onto the grate? Also, would you please share your processing method and times. Thanks!
Hello Mel, I put them right on the grate of the grill and have a bowl sitting next to me because some will get done before the others. I also cut them open before I grill them and try to take out any seed or wet parts.
You need to add 1 tablespoon per pint or 2 tablespoons per quart of lemon juice so that you can water bath can them. You can also add 1/2 teaspoon salt per pint and 1 teaspoon salt per quart.
Water bath for 35 minutes for a pint and 40 minutes for a quart.
I just take a knife and chop them up coarsely before I put them in the jar. Leave 1/2 inch headspace.
I hope this helps! Blessings! 😁❤️
@@OpenHandFarm that helps a lot! Thanks so much for this. Have a blessed day!! Melissa
Turn your squash into biscuits
What? I love this! Oh my, please tell me more! Do I sweeten the dough and add spices?
Use your sqash and applesauce to make dehydrated leathers. Add cinnamon flavors. Even pie seasoning
Thanks Helen!!! I love this idea! I have never made fruit leather. I’ll have to try it! ❤️😁
I enjoyed seeing your storage area and all your canned food. Wow, what a difference the zinc made for the green beans! Thanks for that amazing tip! This fall, I'm planning to can a few pumpkins. The store-bought pumpkin puree has gotten so expensive it's impossible for my penny-wise heart to buy it off-season, but I love it in everything, lol. Have a blessed Sunday, my friend!
I said I would never can pumpkin again, but on her RUclips channel, Ruthann Zimmerman cans pumpkin purée. She just makes sure it’s not too thick. So I might do that. She just puts it in a strainer with cheese cloth and lets it sit to drain all the liquid out and then it’s thick like the one in the can from the store. You might look that up.
It’s good to hear from you, Shari! Blessings on your canning! 😁❤️
@@OpenHandFarm - Thanks for the heads-up tip on canning pumpkin! 🎃🎃🎃
Loved this video. Subscribing.
Can you share the recipes for the things you will can again?
Thanks so much Laura! Welcome!
You know what? I totally meant to do that. Let me go find them and add them! I do know I have a video on the black beans…ruclips.net/video/eej8prwKxwE/видео.htmlsi=AVG3nZePVezCiX3x
Enjoy! Hope to hear from you again soon! 😁
I just found you after listening to Jessica this morning. I hope to see lots of the things you'll be doing in August.
Well welcome Dee! we are so happy to have you. My preservation might be a little shy the first three days since my mother is visiting but things will kick in better in the first full week. I can’t wait to hear from you again! Blessings on your week!
I agree on the split pea. I'm glad I tried it but most likely won't do it again.
I am glad I tried it too Annette! But yes, maybe no more! 😁
Where did you get your heavy duty black shelves?
Here’s the Amazon link. It is an associate link which means Amazon gives us a little bit for sending you to the link. But it does not cost you more. Enjoy! 😁

We use the squash for pumpkin bread and muffins
Thank you dawn! I will try that for sure. Maybe while my mom is visiting! 😁
Thanks for watching and for commenting!
Id say save that cacciatore. When youre hungry, youll eat it!
Thanks you Laurie! I’ll consider it. 😁 Thanks for commenting and watching!
I need to try that Italian Sausage Seasoning from Lilac Lane Amish Store.. So you know if they ship it? I've tried others and haven't yet found the taste of my favorite as I think most are way too light in the 'Italian' part of the seasoning but I LOVE good Italian Sausage. Too much hard grisely bits at the big box store. (I keep thinking they must grind up the hog noses to stretch the 'meat'!) .LOL. My favorite at Tampa/Florida State Fair was Italian sausage grilled with green peppers and onions on Cuban Bread.. Boy you brought back some great memories! I will need to try that Zuppa recipe for sure. I LOVE soup.Tell Mark those risers were not level and I knew he liked things done right so I thought and thought why - then realized that larger bottles could fit on both levels and you liked to keep them sorted by food type rather than just size so it made perfect sense to have more room for shorter rows on both levels - he is one of those rare 'keepers" for ingeniousness and pleasantness. Always there for a fun remark. Hey maybe that is where his name came from - Mark and remark. LOL.
Hi Mary! Those Italian sausages you described are making my mouth water!
The seasoning was very good! It was a little salty but I figure I can just not salt the soup and cut back on the seasonings a little. 😁
The zuppa recipe is in my “soup week” in the 2023 #everybitcountschallenge video.
I will tell Mark you have figured out his name! 😜 Have a blessed week friend! ❤️
