Well Heather ... I have been watching every video of yours for over 5 years now ..and I "binged watched" the older ones too. I was about to start my journey in canning (bought all the necessities for water bath and pressure can) and then had a life change and a move that put a stop on it all for the last two years ...but I kept watching !! WELL I FINALLY got my necessities again, .I have my water bath caner now and I just received my new pressure caner today..... BOY AM I READY .. !! (the others are still mine ..but packed away in another state half way across the country .. and it's just too expensive to ship them all here ..so I RE-INVESTED AGAIN ... collected everything i need ... yeah ..it was a long wait in time and finances) ... I bet by now I could teach caning after the hundreds of videos I have watched from you and others ..lol Anyway ... I finally will be able to can along with you and the video and I am SO READY ... SCARED to DEATH ...BUT READY !!! ALSO >>> GUESS WHAT ELSE ... I FOUND A BRAND NEW ALL AMERICAN CANER 921 ... it will be shipped in November ... they will not charge til after shipping but it's on order with a reputable retailer !! Thank you Heather ..for all you have taught me ..so I could keep my little dream alive ... I am disabled and gonna be 68 this year but I tell you what ..if it takes all day .. I will get through this canning if it kills me ...lol My caning shelves are supposed to come this weekend .. then I'm good to go !! I have no idea how many caning videos you have ...but i am going back to simple Grape Jelly and working my way up !! Love, Hugs and Blessings .. (Kat)
this made me tear up! I am SO SO EXCITED FOR YOU! GAH! I have to pin your comment to the top. You are the reason I am still here, pluggin along on youtube. YOU! Thank you.....and I will be here cheering you on! You got this, Mama!
You sound like my twin lol i feel like i could teach aswell lol. I have been canning non stop since i got my canner a few weeks ago! Ive made multiple things a day until the wee hours of the morning some days :) ive done meats, ( chicken, ground beef, meatballs, pork, roast) bean soups, beef stews, dry beans, potatoes, green beans, carrots, chilli, corn, cabbage soup. I also was binge watching tons of videos from different canners. I just love it!! Feels so rewarding when you take out the final product and stock your shelves. I also feel more secure diversifying my food to not only freezer but ready done food on shelves. Incase of power outage. Happy canning :) ps canning has given me something to look forward to! I was in a car accident and injured my back, shoulder and knee. I couldn’t do much, but i sit at the table and prep taking my time, and geter done!! :) Heather you are such a warm, loving person with a beautiful soul. I love your beautiful smile and energy you bring while canning! Ty xo its almost 1 am waiting for my last batch of beams to come out. I have an electrical canner. It stops when done :)
Ps while waiting for my pressure canner to come in, i ordered a water bath canner and did cherry jam, pineapple jam, pickled beets, peaches in syrup, mango and pineapple in syrup and more. Thank you Heather for all your teachings!!
Best of luck to you, Kat!! I'm almost 64 myself, started our homestead about 18 years ago, canning using old family heirloom canners. Heather is a godsend to us, isn't she? ~Cynthia from the N. GA mountains
I love to watch your videos so I will save this and watch it later . I will be at my daughter's visitation today and will be at her funeral tomorrow. But will be back to it later. I have missed you .
When I make bone broth, I but it in freezer bags and freeze it laid out flat. So when I need a quick gravy, I can easily break off a piece of the broth, heat it up with tapioca flour. Healthy gravy in less then 5 minutes!
So I saw this video several days ago. I just loved it. Such a simple thing to make. I had my daughter get me some onions at the store and then I got online and ordered an electric canner. I had no idea they even made an electric canner. But I love it I just got it in the mail yesterday and I’ve got my onions in it this morning. I have a feeling I’m going to be getting a lot of use out of this canner. I have to admit when I got back on your video this morning I saw where I had accidentally giving you a thumbs down. I immediately changed it. I get so much enjoyment out of your videos. I know you’re a busy mama and I don’t know what all goes into making these videos but I know it has to be a lot so thank you for all you do for us❤️
😆 it's ok! no worries. youtube views a thumbs up the same as a thumbs down....its all activity so both help my video to be seen by others. so i appreciate the love very much!
I'll be making some this week. Thank you Heather. I have been binge watching your videos hopefully it'll keep your RUclips site active as you and your family heal. Praying for you and your family.
I am making onion stock soon. Heather is on of the Best Canning ( and Bread making ) Teachers here on you tube!!( And I teach as well, always learning!!) Thank you Heather for All you do for us, your Sister Canners 😊 ❤
Good Morning from Ms. Ella. Onion stock has been simmering 27 + hours now. And yes the house smells amazing. Will need to start one with chicken. The usage possibilities for both are endless. I will never buy another can or box of broth. Thank you so much for sharling. Be Blessed And Be Well.!!!
It was comforting, and a pleasure to watch this from start to finish. I didn't get bored at all, or stop to check how much longer was left on the video, like I usually do, with some long-winded women, that like to hear themselves talk. Lol. No, you're different, this was interesting from the beginning, all the way through!! And that's an attractive picture on the front of the video, of the finished onion preparation in the pot. I like how you are informative in a humble sweet way. A person who's new to you, would automatically feel comfortable right away. Thanks for your helpful teaching videos. They are really a go-to, for me now. And thank you also for being so kind, and thoughtful of all of us, your subscribers! You seem like you actually enjoy being sensitive to people's needs. And somehow, you're strong enough to do it. And also, I get the impression that if there was ever a subject, or topic, that you are covering, that somebody was offended by, or uncomfortable about, that you would always, apologize, or definately try to endeavor to accommodate their feelings. Looking forward to Friday, to see the finished results of your onion stock. Looks tasty already! It's so fresh. 😄😁🤓
People think I'm crazy because I do beef stock for 4 days, just below a simmer. I also freeze it often (for a healthy drink) because I took all that care to get all the good stuff without killing it with heat. But any stock tastes better with a couple of days. And it gels! Got a colleague interested in canning, she found a used Presto. I was just telling her about your onion stock today :)
This is the second time I've watched this video. I have just started my first batch of onion stock in my new Nesco 18qt roaster oven. 🤞 it turns out great. Thank you for sharing this recipe.. I'm 63 and really do not cook because I am single. But you inspire me to do better for myself . Prayers and Love your way 🙏❤
Followed your recipe, cooked it in my 23qt electric turkey roaster for 36 hours. At 24 hours I tasted, was not very flavorful, so took it to 36 hours. In the end the stock was very, very dark. Tasted a litter bitter, but not burnt tasting. I had a hard time straining thru cheesecloth had to strain it twice because there was so much “sludge”. My lesson from this is I think the roaster was at too high a temperature and actually roasted the onions. If using a roaster be mindful of the temp. I plan on using the stock to cook some rice if it tastes ok I’ll keep else goes to compost. Jars are precious right now. Thanks Heather
@@TheKneadyHomesteader Since my onions didn't do well i have ordered 6 pounds of onions and more canning jars. I am going to try both onion stock and onion chicken stock;
I was surprised to see you show up again. Haven’t seen you in a while. Lost the connections. When searching onion stocks your video showed up. So happy to see you again. Don’t know what year this filmed but this is never bad. Happy 2024 this year.
I'm definitely going to make this soon. I may end up using our large slow cooker. My husband adores onion in just about everything so he was all over this idea! ~Cyn
The onion becomes bitter when cooked for so long. Maximum flavor extraction from vegetables, including onion occurs in around 45 minutes. I do not know if the bitterness will occur if the onions are removed and the stock is reduced. Mine was too bitter to attempt this.
Nothing is ever so simple that you should be embarrassed to show a how to video. Trust me, many if not most of us have never done this so your experienced knowledge is always welcome! And on that note, thank you for sharing! --Shirley
Oh yummy! I save my tops and peels to put in the onion stock (never the roots) in the freezer until I have a big bag and also add fresher whole onions when I make it. Thanks for teaching and sharing!
Made this in my smart canner/cooker and got it canned up. Very happy with it. And great way to ease into canning! I love the thought of it with rice.. how do you usually fix it?
I had to try this recipe…I’d never heard of onion stock…I did mine in 2 6 quart slow cookers with 3 onions , 1 tablespoon each of turmeric, salt & pepper…it was a guessing game for sure…I left the crock pots on low from Wednesday morning until Friday morning…I did add some water…it turned out just like yours…thank you so much…it’s delicious
I am so glad you talk about washing your onions and peels! All the other videos I've watched about using scraps just creep me out because they never talk about discarding blemished parts or anything. I imagine a bag full of stuff that I would just toss into the compost because it's NOT clean.
Thanks so much! I've always wanted to can, but was afraid to try on my own. Now I feel like I've got you over my shoulder. Is there any way you'd be able to temp your stock after it's come to a boil and then settled into the slow cook stage? Thanks to you, I now know my free standing roasting oven would be perfect for this, and it has an actual temperature guage rather than a low-med-high setting. I'd love to know about what to set it on after the boil. I just so love your stuff. You still keep me grounded and are so cheerful and loving. I am jealous of how much you're able to do for your family, though!
don't be jealous, i get very little sleep and i need to take better care of myself. hahaha i need to learn to slow down a bit. i think the only temp thingie i have is a thermometer you stick into meat. hahaha but just as long as its a low simmer.....you will be fine! you dont want to hard boil it, but you dont want it luke warm either. just a nice simmer.
I can't do that on the stove. My partner is working and i sometimes need to go out and the dog sits at home. So i wil need to find another way to do this. Newer knew about tumeric, thank you. Get better soon!! Greetings from the Netherlands,, Kitty.
Any canner right now is almost impossible to find and the prices have just skyrocketed! I found a Presto 23 qt pressure canner by chance at my local ACE Hardware! Even canning jars are getting hard to find and are getting VERY expensive! I'm so glad I saw this coming in January and stocked up on jars and wish I would have gotten more! Even used jars are going for new prices now! I see in a year or two a whole lot of canning items at yard sales! I do hope people are paying attention to the tried and true canning procedures as I've seen a whole lot of new "Homesteaders" ignoring some of the basics and it scares me. I always love seeing you do your canning and your broths. You are always following good tried and true procedures and teaching the right way! Thank you Heather!
i adore you so much! i actually look for your comments every time i put out a video. hahaha xoxoxox. You were so wise to act on your gut instinct, when you saw what was happening back in January! I wish I had picked up more canning jars. And a canner, just to have to loan out to anyone who needed it. I knew one day this would happen, but I guess you are never prepared for it to actually happen when it does. We still have no toilet paper up in my area!
I just got my Ball Electric Water bath canner from Bed Bath and Beyond last week. Haven't used it yet. Bought it to make jelly because I have a glass top stove that I don't want to break, broke one in the past. Excited to use this pot to make stock and jellies!!
Hi Heather! I’m a new subscriber and just finished watching this video. I can’t wait try try this recipe. Regarding the electric canner, I found 2 at the Fleet Farm store in Monticello, MN, for $129.99. Their website this morning before I went to work said they had this canner in stock but for ‘’in store’ pickup only. As soon as I got home from work I called to confirm they still had one because I’m about a 45-50 minute drive away. They didn’t have 1, they had 2! I got right back in my truck, drove to the store and bought 1. Nailed it!!! So if anyone else is in MN like me and looking for one of these, go get it before it’s gone. I really can’t wait to try this. To think of all the old onions I didn’t use before they started getting old. Now I know what to do with them. Also, I make a ton of & pressure can beef, turkey & chicken bone broth to add to my senior dog’s food to entice him to keep eating, plus the broth is super healthy for not just him but me too. And I always throw in a couple of chicken feet for the gelatin, turmeric (anti-inflammatory properties), as well as carrots, celery, bay leaves and some sea salt. Again, extremely good for him and me and super delicious. But I’ve always had to have 3-4 crockpots going to make up 7 quarts to then pressure can. This electric water bath canner is going to save me time and energy big time! I can’t thank you enough for suggesting it. Now I need to find & watch your part 2 video.
Heather, I can’t tell you how much I learned from this one video! I have a weck canner and made this delicious broth in it. I have been using it for everything this winter!
I cannot wait to can this stock! First I have green beans and a few tomatoes to can. Then I must finish digging potatoes. And process elderberries. Viola I will then be canning onion stock! Yum yum! 💚💚💚
It looks beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product! Great video. Thanks for making one for those of us just beginning to can. I continue to pray for you and your family. God bless you.
Agreed! I love the ball electric canner for stock. I’m always afraid to add to much water, but seeing this, it looks like filling it up is just fine. Thanks!
The stock looks awesome Momma Conn ! Of course I am always dreaming of the bass boat I could buy with your wedding set... ahahaha But the stock sure looks great ! Can't wait for the canning video !
I have come back to re watch this video. I am going to make this soon. But I wanted to buy the caner so I needed your link first. Hope you are getting better, prayers have been abound for all of you. I lost my husband the same way so I know a lot what you are going through with that loss. Soft huggs and love Rose
Thank's so much Heather for sharing this video. You bet that I'm going to make it but I will have to use my big pot that I got from my Grandma and cook it on the stove. I'm a little under the weather, but I finially decided to watch these video's so I can see what I need to make this stock. I'm so very excited about making this. Thank you so very much. Much Love and Blessings to you and your family and everyone here. 💜💜💜💜
Hello Heather, hope your having a great day! Doing this today. Got my new electric water bath canner, now time to turn the onions into liquid gold. Thank you Heather. Aloha
I just spent my day canning onion stock and pork stock. I think I will try your recipe next time. For a different tast. I love onion stock! I use it to cook my roast in, I make gravy with it, I use it to cook my potatoes in then mash them and top with carmelized onion and gravy, cheese melted on top. I use onion broth for everything. Also if you search you will find the many many benefits of onion broth. Thank you for sharing your recipe it looks delicious and cant wait to try it. Oh just for a hint. Everytime I chop a onion for anything, I place the ends and peel in a bag I keep in the freezer. When i make broth I just pull it out and it is ready to go. No waste at all.
@Heather I made this a few weeks ago but I was give 4 huge bags of white onions today so decided to experiment. I also added 1T poultry seasoning 1T bay leave ground 1T thrive garlic 4T chicken base now will see Thursday afternoon how it did.
I heard what you said about not being able to find the electric pot, I'm not sure about others, but there are no FLATS to be found in my area, and amazon is almost as bad - sold out. IF you can find them, last year I paid 1.69 for a dozen, this year, HELLO!, 7.50 a dozen. I know that people out there are sorta running scared, and it's great to think that maybe they've found out what us old timers always knew, growing and canning your own food is most times less expensive, tastes SO much better, and it's great to have a full pantry of food, knowing where it came from and what's in it. BUT, 7.50 to 9.00 for a dozen regular flats, necessary to can from home, if the new canners don't realize you should never reuse the old flats, who is responsible for the price gouging going on? At least there are other things you can replace TP with, but nada when it comes to flats. Now I'm wishing I had had the money to buy the TATTLER lids, at least I wouldn't be faced with the dilemma I find myself in now. Very sorry, this sounds like I'm on a soap box, but if I hadn't bought a few boxes of flats last year, my garden would have been wasted if not for the freezer or dehydrator. A very worried old lady that loves to can edibles, and finds it as relaxing as reading a good book. Blessings to everyone out there that might be in the same predicament I am in!
I am new to your channel...so glad to know you are from Michigan like I am. I have subscribed to your channel and will be making this stock also. Looking forward to all your videos. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day 👍😁
For anyone looking for the canner, Ball=Jarden. So also search for Jarden FreshTech. I found a place locally that has them in stock and delivers locally for free. If you live in South Florida, check out Shell Lumber.
hahaha THANK YOU! I sometimes get snarky comments about it.....it is amazing how my grey hair can upset a few people. hahaha so weird! i just got sick and tired of putting chemicals on my head!
The Kneady Homesteader Me too! I’m a hair dresser and I was so done with coloring and weekly touch ups. Maybe..... you can do a video on your journey. A lot of homesteaders want to go natural.
I'm 67, and was fully white headed by the age of 42. I never once thought of coloring my hair, 1 - because why fight nature and 2 - think of all the things I couldn't have because I spent all that money over 30+ years of worrying about looking younger than I am. My poor daughters have been coloring their hair since they were barely into their twenties, and it's ALL MY FAULT, lol; it was my genes that gave them little white hairs by the time they were 16. LOL, supposedly a little white makes men look distinguished, and women are just showing their age. I've been giggling about that for ages! Blessings!
I’m already writing ✍🏻 this down in my own canning recipe notebook 📓 thanks for sharing! Last week I made the “Smoked Ham Hock Stock” you have in your channel and I must say my house smell amazing 😉 I can’t wait to make this!
They make large pots for deep frying turkeys and they also make pots for european mounting skulls these can be found at hunting supply stores I sometimes use mine for canning hope this helps 😊😊😊
Well Heather ... I have been watching every video of yours for over 5 years now ..and I "binged watched" the older ones too.
I was about to start my journey in canning (bought all the necessities for water bath and pressure can) and then had a life change and a move that put a stop on it all for the last two years ...but I kept watching !!

(the others are still mine ..but packed away in another state half way across the country ..
and it's just too expensive to ship them all here ..so I RE-INVESTED AGAIN ... collected everything i need ...
yeah ..it was a long wait in time and finances) ...
I bet by now I could teach caning after the hundreds of videos I have watched from you and others ..lol
Anyway ... I finally will be able to can along with you and the video and I am SO READY ...
SCARED to DEATH ...BUT READY !!!
ALSO >>> GUESS WHAT ELSE ... I FOUND A BRAND NEW ALL AMERICAN CANER 921 ... it will be shipped in November ...
they will not charge til after shipping but it's on order with a reputable retailer !!
Thank you Heather ..for all you have taught me ..so I could keep my little dream alive ...
I am disabled and gonna be 68 this year but I tell you what ..if it takes all day ..
I will get through this canning if it kills me ...lol

Many healing prayers for you and your family 🙏🙏🌻🌻❤️
When I make stock, I always roast my bones and veggies at 400 for an hour, get it all nice and brown. Adds so much flavor and color. Tfs.
thanks for makin me drool, LyLy! 😆👏🏻
Thank you for the tip!
Amazing tip thanks
Do you just dry roast them on a baking sheet?
I do the same thing but only about 20 minutes! Really does make a difference.
When I make bone broth, I but it in freezer bags and freeze it laid out flat. So when I need a quick gravy, I can easily break off a piece of the broth, heat it up with tapioca flour. Healthy gravy in less then 5 minutes!

I made this and love it! I have even dehydrated the onions which were very tasty and I'm looking forward to making again in the future.
Made this in my smart canner/cooker and got it canned up. Very happy with it. And great way to ease into canning! I love the thought of it with rice.. how do you usually fix it?
Looks great. I have a big stock pot and will make this for sure. Can't wait for the Part 2
Woohoo! Happy to see a stock video!
hahaha so sorry it took so long! was waiting for cooler weather to run my pressure canner. haha
I had to try this recipe…I’d never heard of onion stock…I did mine in 2 6 quart slow cookers with 3 onions , 1 tablespoon each of turmeric, salt & pepper…it was a guessing game for sure…I left the crock pots on low from Wednesday morning until Friday morning…I did add some water…it turned out just like yours…thank you so much…it’s delicious
I am so glad you talk about washing your onions and peels! All the other videos I've watched about using scraps just creep me out because they never talk about discarding blemished parts or anything. I imagine a bag full of stuff that I would just toss into the compost because it's NOT clean.
Continuing to watch your playlist.
Thanks so much! I've always wanted to can, but was afraid to try on my own. Now I feel like I've got you over my shoulder. Is there any way you'd be able to temp your stock after it's come to a boil and then settled into the slow cook stage? Thanks to you, I now know my free standing roasting oven would be perfect for this, and it has an actual temperature guage rather than a low-med-high setting. I'd love to know about what to set it on after the boil.
I just so love your stuff. You still keep me grounded and are so cheerful and loving. I am jealous of how much you're able to do for your family, though!
don't be jealous, i get very little sleep and i need to take better care of myself. hahaha i need to learn to slow down a bit. i think the only temp thingie i have is a thermometer you stick into meat. hahaha but just as long as its a low simmer.....you will be fine! you dont want to hard boil it, but you dont want it luke warm either. just a nice simmer.
I can't do that on the stove. My partner is working and i sometimes need to go out and the dog sits at home. So i wil need to find another way to do this. Newer knew about tumeric, thank you. Get better soon!! Greetings from the Netherlands,, Kitty.
Thanks for Sharing. Take Care and God Bless.
God Bless, Kathy! Thank you for watching.
Any canner right now is almost impossible to find and the prices have just skyrocketed! I found a Presto 23 qt pressure canner by chance at my local ACE Hardware! Even canning jars are getting hard to find and are getting VERY expensive! I'm so glad I saw this coming in January and stocked up on jars and wish I would have gotten more! Even used jars are going for new prices now! I see in a year or two a whole lot of canning items at yard sales!
I do hope people are paying attention to the tried and true canning procedures as I've seen a whole lot of new "Homesteaders" ignoring some of the basics and it scares me. I always love seeing you do your canning and your broths. You are always following good tried and true procedures and teaching the right way! Thank you Heather!
i adore you so much! i actually look for your comments every time i put out a video. hahaha xoxoxox. You were so wise to act on your gut instinct, when you saw what was happening back in January! I wish I had picked up more canning jars. And a canner, just to have to loan out to anyone who needed it. I knew one day this would happen, but I guess you are never prepared for it to actually happen when it does. We still have no toilet paper up in my area!
A great video and info! When I do large batches of stock I use a big turkey roaster and works great! I roast bones before I place to the toaster
I just got my Ball Electric Water bath canner from Bed Bath and Beyond last week. Haven't used it yet. Bought it to make jelly because I have a glass top stove that I don't want to break, broke one in the past. Excited to use this pot to make stock and jellies!!
Happy canning Marie! So glad you were able to snag one.
sooooo dang yummy, love me some onion stock!
haha xoxox
I hope been waiting for this so thank you ❤️. I have really missed you, l am happy happy happy to see you
You are so welcome! I was waiting for the weather to cool down a bit.....before running my canners in this heat! hahaha miserable heat!
I'm starting my stock today with the addition of fresh rosemary, green onions, shallots, garlic, and a couple celery stalks❤. I'm excited
Hi Heather! I’m a new subscriber and just finished watching this video. I can’t wait try try this recipe. Regarding the electric canner, I found 2 at the Fleet Farm store in Monticello, MN, for $129.99. Their website this morning before I went to work said they had this canner in stock but for ‘’in store’ pickup only. As soon as I got home from work I called to confirm they still had one because I’m about a 45-50 minute drive away. They didn’t have 1, they had 2! I got right back in my truck, drove to the store and bought 1. Nailed it!!! So if anyone else is in MN like me and looking for one of these, go get it before it’s gone. I really can’t wait to try this. To think of all the old onions I didn’t use before they started getting old. Now I know what to do with them.
Also, I make a ton of & pressure can beef, turkey & chicken bone broth to add to my senior dog’s food to entice him to keep eating, plus the broth is super healthy for not just him but me too. And I always throw in a couple of chicken feet for the gelatin, turmeric (anti-inflammatory properties), as well as carrots, celery, bay leaves and some sea salt. Again, extremely good for him and me and super delicious. But I’ve always had to have 3-4 crockpots going to make up 7 quarts to then pressure can. This electric water bath canner is going to save me time and energy big time! I can’t thank you enough for suggesting it.
Now I need to find & watch your part 2 video.
I bet onion stock is great tocook with. Prayers and Love your way. 🙏❤
Do you ever add in red onions or green onion tops?
I like your measuring spoons.
Am making a double batch this time love it that much
Looks terrific! I use my roaster oven all the time for making stock. Doesn’t have the convenience of a spout, but it gets the job done. 💕
i love using my roaster pan! it was the best thing ever when canning tomatoes last year.
I will definitely be making this recipe! TY!
Watching your videos, I think I’d like to try canning. Praying for health and healing to you and your children🌸
Heather, I can’t tell you how much I learned from this one video! I have a weck canner and made this delicious broth in it. I have been using it for everything this winter!
I cannot wait to can this stock! First I have green beans and a few tomatoes to can. Then I must finish digging potatoes. And process elderberries. Viola I will then be canning onion stock! Yum yum!
💚💚💚
Kay, come back and let me know what you think when you do! Happy Canning!!!!
It looks beautiful! I can't wait to see the finished product! Great video. Thanks for making one for those of us just beginning to can. I continue to pray for you and your family. God bless you.
I recently made onion stock to can. It was so easy and oh my, the flavor! I want to use your method of slow cooking it next time.
Let me know if you do! :D
Thank you, Miss Heather.
Def going to try this!
let me know what you think!
I'm doing this so I can have it for fall :)
i am so ready for fall cookin!
Agreed! I love the ball electric canner for stock. I’m always afraid to add to much water, but seeing this, it looks like filling it up is just fine. Thanks!
fill 'er up! hahaha
I'm so excited to finally make this!! Thanks!
YAY! I can't wait to hear how you like it, Sistah! xoxoxox
The stock looks awesome Momma Conn ! Of course I am always dreaming of the bass boat I could buy with your wedding set... ahahaha But the stock sure looks great ! Can't wait for the canning video !
I have come back to re watch this video. I am going to make this soon. But I wanted to buy the caner so I needed your link first. Hope you are getting better, prayers have been abound for all of you. I lost my husband the same way so I know a lot what you are going through with that loss. Soft huggs and love Rose
Love this! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Our local Meijer had the big blue with white speckles water bath canner for under $20 this week!
Wish me luck, making it for the first time tonight
I have SO many onions right now, this is perfect timing!!!! It looks delish and I bet it smells amazing cooking!
It does! I want to eat the air! haha
Thank's so much Heather for sharing this video. You bet that I'm going to make it but I will have to use my big pot that I got from my Grandma and cook it on the stove. I'm a little under the weather, but I finially decided to watch these video's so I can see what I need to make this stock. I'm so very excited about making this. Thank you so very much. Much Love and Blessings to you and your family and everyone here. 💜💜💜💜
I'm doing it! This is my first time....and will be my second time pressure canning. Love you Heather!
Got to do this! The onions are wanting to grow in the Pantry. Good way to use them up.
Hello Heather, hope your having a great day! Doing this today. Got my new electric water bath canner, now time to turn the onions into liquid gold. Thank you Heather. Aloha
I just spent my day canning onion stock and pork stock. I think I will try your recipe next time. For a different tast. I love onion stock! I use it to cook my roast in, I make gravy with it, I use it to cook my potatoes in then mash them and top with carmelized onion and gravy, cheese melted on top. I use onion broth for everything. Also if you search you will find the many many benefits of onion broth. Thank you for sharing your recipe it looks delicious and cant wait to try it.
Oh just for a hint. Everytime I chop a onion for anything, I place the ends and peel in a bag I keep in the freezer. When i make broth I just pull it out and it is ready to go. No waste at all.
yes!!!!! i swear i use onion broth in everything. haha
@Heather I made this a few weeks ago but I was give 4 huge bags of white onions today so decided to experiment. I also added 1T poultry seasoning 1T bay leave ground 1T thrive garlic 4T chicken base now will see Thursday afternoon how it did.
Love it's and thank you for sharing😍😍🤗🤗
You are so welcome! Hope you are well, Mama!
I heard what you said about not being able to find the electric pot, I'm not sure about others, but there are no FLATS to be found in my area, and amazon is almost as bad - sold out. IF you can find them, last year I paid 1.69 for a dozen, this year, HELLO!, 7.50 a dozen. I know that people out there are sorta running scared, and it's great to think that maybe they've found out what us old timers always knew, growing and canning your own food is most times less expensive, tastes SO much better, and it's great to have a full pantry of food, knowing where it came from and what's in it. BUT, 7.50 to 9.00 for a dozen regular flats, necessary to can from home, if the new canners don't realize you should never reuse the old flats, who is responsible for the price gouging going on? At least there are other things you can replace TP with, but nada when it comes to flats. Now I'm wishing I had had the money to buy the TATTLER lids, at least I wouldn't be faced with the dilemma I find myself in now. Very sorry, this sounds like I'm on a soap box, but if I hadn't bought a few boxes of flats last year, my garden would have been wasted if not for the freezer or dehydrator. A very worried old lady that loves to can edibles, and finds it as relaxing as reading a good book. Blessings to everyone out there that might be in the same predicament I am in!
I am new to your channel...so glad to know you are from Michigan like I am. I have subscribed to your channel and will be making this stock also. Looking forward to all your videos. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day 👍😁
For anyone looking for the canner, Ball=Jarden. So also search for Jarden FreshTech. I found a place locally that has them in stock and delivers locally for free. If you live in South Florida, check out Shell Lumber.
thank you!😁👏🏻
Thank you Heather! Can’t wait to try this!❤️Regina
Giving this a try! Thanks 🙏🙏🌻🌻❤️❤️
I 'canned' wait to try this! 😍🙏💜🙏
I just love that you are growing out your gray hair. I’m also growing out mine. Thanks for the video
hahaha THANK YOU! I sometimes get snarky comments about it.....it is amazing how my grey hair can upset a few people. hahaha so weird! i just got sick and tired of putting chemicals on my head!
The Kneady Homesteader Me too! I’m a hair dresser and I was so done with coloring and weekly touch ups. Maybe..... you can do a video on your journey. A lot of homesteaders want to go natural.
I'm 67, and was fully white headed by the age of 42. I never once thought of coloring my hair, 1 - because why fight nature and 2 - think of all the things I couldn't have because I spent all that money over 30+ years of worrying about looking younger than I am. My poor daughters have been coloring their hair since they were barely into their twenties, and it's ALL MY FAULT, lol; it was my genes that gave them little white hairs by the time they were 16. LOL, supposedly a little white makes men look distinguished, and women are just showing their age. I've been giggling about that for ages! Blessings!
Love it! Continued prayers
I’m already writing ✍🏻 this down in my own canning recipe notebook 📓 thanks for sharing! Last week I made the “Smoked Ham Hock Stock” you have in your channel and I must say my house smell amazing 😉 I can’t wait to make this!
That is awesome! Let me know what you think after you make it!
They make large pots for deep frying turkeys and they also make pots for european mounting skulls these can be found at hunting supply stores I sometimes use mine for canning hope this helps 😊😊😊
I will try this…I haven’t canned in years, but it sounds as though I may need to start back. Blessings!!!
Sounds delicious
