Hi Tracy that scotch broth looks fantastic. O do love your canning videos and am really looking forward to the new series. Obviously i don't know if you'll be posting anything before Christmas but if not I hope you all have a fabulous time. Thank you both for all the enjoyment you have brought over the past year x
Thank you Tracey,thanks to you I started my canning journey and my daughter now requested some for her boyfriend too because he loved the ragu so much 😋
I am so envious of your husband, I am 70 years old and have had two long term partners in my life sadly, neither of whom were in the slightest bit interested in cooking😂😂
This is such an inspiration. Although I don’t eat meat or have a canner, I have been learning about water bathing and having a go at that for the last couple of years. Hubby bought me an Amish canning/water preserve cook book. Really recommend it. Looking forward to learning more from your channel 😊
I’m getting an instant pot pro plus for Christmas. I have my new clean jars ready to go in the garage. I will definitely be watching all your videos on how to can with it as I have never canned before. Exactly what I need!
Excellent as always Tracy. We’ll definitely have a go at making some scotch broth for the coming winter. I’d love to have more meals in a jar in our pantry but haven’t done much yet. Looking forward to your canning series. (Ps absolutely love our Instant Pot Pro Plus for small batch canning - best investment!) xx
Really like your videos about all aspects of working and living on a smallholding. Watched with interest today about pressure canning with the instapot. I'm concerned that the instapot is not suitable for pressure canning, many sources confirm that instapot (even those with a canning function) are not safe as pressure canners, but may be used for water bath canning. Just worried many folk may try this with the instapot, waste their food, or worse possibly end up pretty ill.
Ahhh thank you. I used to feel the same until I did my own research for the pro plus model versus what’s needed for our altitude. You can always test to see temp and psi if concerned. Everyone must get their own comfort tho. As with anything, be it fermenting, canning or cooking in general, don’t rely on other people’s comments :) thanks for being here and commenting yourself 👌
Great Video as always Tracey! I wanted to mention to you that I bought a soup machine that you used on a recent video! WOW! What a game changer! There is a "fast food" place here in the States called Panera Bread that has the most fantastic Creamy Tomato soup! I found the copycat recipe for it and that was my first soup in the Soup Machine! Thank you for that video because it changed the course of this Homestead! I'm making some tonight for dinner with a sandwich on the side! I can grow all of the ingredients for that one! I'm so excited to be able to produce the vegetables in the garden for these meals! Now to start planning out the huge garden for next season!! *giggle* Btw, HI CHRIS!! **Waving** from the U.S.A.
The two piece kilner style mason jars were something I invested in a couple of years ago as they were going for a good deal on eBay so I bought a new batch every month for the year. I now tend to sway towards the lug lid panelled jars which are from a website called jars and bottles I think l.
Love watching you two! Looking forward to the canning series as I want to give it a go - and I agree about the cost of a freezer! Did you say you can in an instant-pot?
Will definitely be canning, but please roll your sleeves up and tie your hair back. As a nurse I was flinching a little, but thank you for the inspiration.
Hi, I’ve just started following you both and love the channel, you are doing something I’ve dreamt of for years and still hope to do at some point. I just wondered why if your carrots are in short supply, why didn’t you put your carrot trimmings in your stock?
We have been canning for 5 years and 😢 use a canner designed for the job. We use a 23 quart presto canner which can hold 16 pint ( 500 ml) jars stacked or 7 quart jars
@@OurSmallholdingAdventure hi we are Brits living in Spain and got into canning and really enjoy it. This week we canned tomato puree from 10kg og paste tomatoes bought at our local market in the summer sived and frozen till now when the log oven is on and it's cheap to reduce the pulp. Love your vidios were both from farming families
I've been canning 50 years and I have LOVED the addition of the electric canners. just a wider array of tools. I don't always have time to do full canners or to babysit it and I don't always want large batches of everything.

Watching that has made me hungry! How fabulous to have all that additional food on your shelves and in the freezer. Looks delicious 😋

That’s fantastic to hear!! Xx
Can't wait for the pressure canning episodes ❤

Love to know about the first jars and lids you were using please. Just two of us here, so looking at alter natives to the two piece lid types.

Ahh thank you! This is the Instant Pot pro plus which has the canning function. :)
@@OurSmallholdingAdventure Damn! I wish I'd known that before I bought my Instant Pot! 😄

Im currently making 2 crockpot full of chicken broth. So good :) Especially good to use the excessive amount of roosters you have :)
Oh lovely!

Ha ha I commented too soon 😂 great idea.
I was hoping the rest of that lamb mince was surplus to requirements, I was just on my way up with a dish 😂
😂 goes well with … guess what ? 😉
I'm intrested in dry cure and brine for meat seems though it seems to be manly for pork
I’ve seen people make lamb bacon! New one to us tho x
Hi Tracy. Where did you get jars and lids that you used for the scotch broth? 😊
The two piece were from eBay and the panelled single lids are from
Jarsandbottles website :)
@ thank you
Not a big fan of lamb but need to try some in stew
I didn’t used to be, it’s getting the right lamb I think :) I am a convert now !
Do you reuse the lids or are they new ones every time?
We have been canning for 5 years and 😢 use a canner designed for the job. We use a 23 quart presto canner which can hold 16 pint ( 500 ml) jars stacked or 7 quart jars
Are you telling me to, sorry? I have the presto 23 quart here too. Use it often but like this one. Also been canning for many years 🤷♀️
