Warms my heart that my daughter is now canning food for her 10 month baby and her husband. She knows the importance of fresh home grown food because she was raised that way. And now days its so important to know where your food comes from and what is in it. Even if you do not have a garden, support your Farmers Markets and local farmers and preserve it.
Typically, when I vacuum seal wetter foods, I put them in the vacuum bag and directly into the freezer. I seal them the next day when the moisture is solid 😊. Works great!
As Always much Love from Okc ❤ I'm having a 2nd pancreas surgery Aug 11th so I've been canning Alot and dehydrating some things to make space in freezer. I will be in hospital for a month so everyone(hubby& 20yr son) is wanting pizza and burritos for convenience😂 while I'm away. Everyone please keep me in your thoughts and Prayers please and Thanks as well🙏🏽🙏🏽
❤💫 Prayers that your surgery goes very well and you have a quick and complete recovery. January 2012 I had the Whipple procedure due to stage three pancreatic and common bile duct cancers, then followed by chemo. The Lord God Almighty graced me with recovery, survival and gratitude. I live a humbled life as your eyes are wide open after such things. ( the 1% at this time) We are definitely not in control ❤. Love and light, and a big hug to you💫🥰☝️
I loved it when you said that you do a small amount of preserving everyday. Ive been doing that now and it works great❤ I have been drying herbs, making pickles and freezing blueberries. Quick projects and not overwhelming. Thank you for the advice.
Hello there, I started preserved red peppers,eggplant and I made strawberry jam, apricots jam and peaches. A lot of work and time. Thank you for inspiration.
Hi Jessica!! Good Sunday Morning to you! Thank you for all you do. Your videos are such a relaxing time for me. I get "my" time every Sunday, and now, Wednesday!!! Sending love and prayers your way. Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta 😊😊❤❤
Another great video Jessica! This week I've done peach preserves and peach butter, dried lots of herbs, froze my onion harvest, started almond extract, and canned chicken broth. Today planning to get tomato sauce, 2 kinds of salsa, and corn on the shelves!
Just want to say thanks for the inspiration. I’m enjoying finding ways to preserve what I have as well as making future meals easier. This last week I dehydrated zucchini shreds, froze 2 bags of diced tomatoes, made 2 pints of pear sauce, and vacuum sealed 4 batches of dry ingredients for cornbread. (I just remembered - and a pint of dill relish! Really excited about that one!) Not a huge pile, but as you say, better some than none!
My potatoes didn't flower either this year!! And they are completely dieing back! I need to get hubby out there digging😅 but I can't say I've had too much success when it comes to potatoes anyway!!! I also just invested in a new dehydrator because mine kicked the bucket unfortunately so I really can't wait for it to show up so I can start drying some of my herbs!!! ❤ All my love!! Can't wait to see you next time!!!
Good afternoon my dear friend, you continue to have an abundant and fruitful garden! I love how your children are always involved in whatever you are doing, so sweet! Oh my, Hannah is loving the mashed potatoes - what a doll she is!! Until Wednesday my dear.
These videos are so encouraging! Thank you Jessica. I am the only person I know who is preserving food and this is like a little encouragement when I really need it.
I’ve been enjoying all your videos! Thank you for this #everybitcounts challenge! So far I’ve dehydrated plums, mangoes, and pineapple, and also made Orange Cranberry Sauce with frozen cranberries I had in my freezer since the holidays!
I have taken on the your challenge, I dont have a lot to put away some days, but 1 cup of blackberries is better then nothing. Every little bit counts, they will taste really good in the middle of winter
I make my beef stew almost exactly the way you do. I do add a heaping spoonful of tomato paste to each jar. Tomatoes are a natural tenderizer and he's to make the meat more tender. I think you'll find you like it if you want to give it a try. Actually beef stew was the very first thing I ever pressure canned. My husband looked at me with scepticism 🙄 but after trying it he now says he doesn't want beef stew any other way😁💞
Living in an HOA means having chickens and eggs is not in my current range but it's a dream that I hope comes true soon. These are some really good tips especially as I can garden and can use the other preservation tips.
Hi Jessica, the stew looks so good. I love canning beef stew. I learn so much from you. Your children are beautiful. Hannah wasn't a baby any time. She's grown to fast. Love your sweet family.
We puree up our tomatoes and can them every year. Then we use them as tomato juice to drink or to add to recipes throughout the year. We love it. I also boil it down for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, and ketchup and can them too. We used to remove the skins first, or put them through a juicer, but it seamed so wasteful. And those nutrients may as well be in us rather than in the compost.
❤ love your videos! Ive canned vegetable beef, turkey and chicken leftover soups (day 1), but didn't realize you can put bay and parsley in for canning.
Your garden’s harvest is amazing. Watching John’s face as the peppers shrank before his eyes was magical. Your children will be prepared for life’s adventures. And Hannah eating mashed potatoes reminded me of my long ago baby food making. Sweet memories! Thank you as always for inspiration to start off a new week.
I enjoy your preserving videos and try to do some, too. I’m afraid I don’t keep up with your bounty. Impressive. Just noticed the locusts on your tree at the beginning of the latest video. We had a locust tree on the farm when I grew up. Wondering how you use them.
I'm learning so much from you. That's the positive side of the internet. It's a delight to see Hanah enjoying her organic, home-grown food.💖💖 Thanks for sharing.👍🏽
Great video I love watching your videos amazing what you get done ,just wondering when you freezer dried your tomatoes for tomatoe paste can you dehydrate it as I don’t have a freeze dryer
Just wondering do you like homemade green pepper soup. I can it in qt jars. It's wonderful in the winter, only need to add in some cooked rice when serving it.
My food saver is the same with wet foods. I was watching Living tradition homestead and she froze hers before she put them in bags. I am thinking that might work.
My daughter and I got 41 quarts of potatoes done yesterday that was the second 43 quarts for the pantry. I’m 75and we both have health problems. And the deer’s got and ate our tomatoes plants.with carrots we can’t grow one.we buy from the store and can them to.
After you use the eggs you water glasses, what do you do with the calcium hydroxide water? Does it go in the garden, does it get used as weed killer? I’m s it safe for a septic system? I am not sure what to do with mine.
I make stewed rhubarb (chopped rhubarb cooked with water, sugar, and lemon juice) then I freeze it in used yogurt containers. When thawed, I eat it over plain Greek yogurt.
Love your videos that motivate us Jessica. I'm preserving everyday also. I've been canning pasta sauce, tomato juice, black berries, and Sauerkraut, then dehydrated zucchini, cherry tomatoes, Make pesto and dried basil so far this month. Trying to do a little bit everyday of this challenge. I have a big bucket of sauerkraut working in a food grade 5 gallon bucket, that I'll check on tomorrow. Busy month but glad my garden is about done for this year. Lots of stuff in freezer, and I need to do a pull and make a double canning of vegetable soup. All will be good for the winter months. You are an amazing woman Jessica, I know Adam and your babies are so proud of you. Have a blessed day.
I am full of questions; i have stone countertops, and I’d love to know what I should do with my hot jars 🫙, I don’t know if a towel on the counter is enough, as I find our counters are really cold. (We have air conditioning) should I place a wooden board and towel on top ?
This is probably a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway... when you are waiting to pressure can your second batch of stew do you have to refrigerate them while you wait for the first batch to be done? I've never done a double batch of anything because I don't know what to do!
Not dumb at all! Yes, I put it in the fridge. Then when I fill the canner with the second batch, since the jars are cold, I fill the canner with cold water. It all comes to temperature together.
Good morning! I’m trying to learn how to can. I’ve heard potatoes should be peeled first. Does it not really matter? Thanks for taking time to respond! ❤️ I love your videos!
Absolutely potatoes should ALWAYS be peeled, they are a root crop and high risk for botulism. I hope you see this before she deletes the comment like she did my others sadly. I don't mess around with unsafe canning practices and my family. Please don't follow her canning practices.
It is quite amusing to hear how many of you Americans struggle with the famous name Worchestershire sauce.. .You know, you can just say Worchester-sauce.... You don't need to say the 'shire'-part ;-) Thank you for an interesting video this week too.

So, instead of pronouncing Worcestershire as all 4 syllables, it is actually pronounced as only 3 syllables (Worc ter shire). To break down the pronunciation, start with 'Worc'. This is said like PUSS, from Puss In Boots. 'Ter' is a very short, stubby sound, so not like Water or Dehydrator, but as the 'ra' in abRAcadabRA- very stubby. 'Shire' is much easier to explain - its just said Sheer. So, in summary - Puss-ra-sheer becomes Wuss-ta-sheer. I hope that hasn't confused the heck out of you 😂😂😂xxx I would love to hear how you get on.
Hi Jessica. I couldn’t help but think about how much people actually pay at the grocery store for the tiny potatoes. I live in Ontario Canada and those spuds cost almost 6 bucks at some grocery stores. U might get 15 tiny potatoes. You’ve got a gold mine in that box lol
Hey your pronouncing of Worcestershire isn't too off you literally say it as you see it for this one but over here in the U.K we shorten it to Woozie. My gosh Hannah is getting big. xx
If we said it like we see it in America it would be War-sest-er-shire sauce 🤣 Our American English is a little different. She is growing too fast! Time is a thief!
@threerivershomestead when I say it like that it sounds spot on. My youngest Granddaughter is 2 and it only seems like yesterday she was a tiny babe in arms, indeed you're right about time being a theif. I take tons of pictures of her. Some to embarass her later in life lol, but mostly because I am sentimental and love the memories xx
Good morning Jessica! This week I've preserved spearmint tea x2, made cherry jelly from pits (ala Meg Hollar), made cherry preserves, dried lavender tea, and canned 15 pints of peaches for winter eating. I still have 2 pecks of peaches sitting on the kitchen floor to be preserved. Most of those will be made into pie filling probably tomorrow. Because of your encouragement, even on the days I have zero spoons left, I'm harvesting herbs to dry for winter tea. My garden this year is NOT producing - other than herbs - so I've had to purchase ingredients with which to can. I was glad to see your proportions in making your (instant) beef stew. That is one of the foods my sons truly enjoy, and I typically can all of the stew meat immediately when my cow arrives, making it an easy meal to prepare through the winter. As you worship this morning, I would solicit your prayers, as I'm expecting an ugly confrontation around noon. I've gotten 3.5 hours of sleep, which is not optimal, as lack of rest typically brings on migraine or other health issues.
Thank you for sharing. I've been able to preserve something every day this month. Today - green beans and teaching friends from church how to make pickles. It will be a great day!
I am trying to do this challenge also. So far, today being the 8th I have preserved figs two ways, tomatoes 5 ways, Butterbeans frozen, okra canned, carrots canned and frozen banana peppers. 😍
Warms my heart that my daughter is now canning food for her 10 month baby and her husband. She knows the importance of fresh home grown food because she was raised that way. And now days its so important to know where your food comes from and what is in it. Even if you do not have a garden, support your Farmers Markets and local farmers and preserve it.
Typically, when I vacuum seal wetter foods, I put them in the vacuum bag and directly into the freezer. I seal them the next day when the moisture is solid 😊. Works great!
As Always much Love from Okc ❤ I'm having a 2nd pancreas surgery Aug 11th so I've been canning Alot and dehydrating some things to make space in freezer. I will be in hospital for a month so everyone(hubby& 20yr son) is wanting pizza and burritos for convenience😂 while I'm away. Everyone please keep me in your thoughts and Prayers please and Thanks as well🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love and prayers ❤️🙏🏼❤️🌻

I loved it when you said that you do a small amount of preserving everyday. Ive been doing that now and it works great❤ I have been drying herbs, making pickles and freezing blueberries. Quick projects and not overwhelming.
Thank you for the advice.
Hello there, I started preserved red peppers,eggplant and I made strawberry jam, apricots jam and peaches. A lot of work and time. Thank you for inspiration.
I have been canning tomatoes. It's a lot of work. In the winter months so rewarding.🌻🌻

I just saw a bag of 1.5 pounds of little potatoes for $3.45,so you got yourself a great haul!
haaa! Your "little" harvests would be a pure success in my garden!
Thank you Jessica I don’t know if you realize how inspiring you are to us !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! !
Another great video Jessica! This week I've done peach preserves and peach butter, dried lots of herbs, froze my onion harvest, started almond extract, and canned chicken broth. Today planning to get tomato sauce, 2 kinds of salsa, and corn on the shelves!

I lost my dad last week and I'm struggling mentally and physically please pray for me
God bless you 🙏
I lost my Mom May. It's hard. I will pray for you. God bless.
New to your channel and it is wonderful. The freeze dryer is awesome snd so are your little helpers. Thanks.
I canned my first batch of tomatoes. First time canning and I felt so accomplished!
These videos are so encouraging! Thank you Jessica. I am the only person I know who is preserving food and this is like a little encouragement when I really need it.
I always when bell peppers are on sale I will but up some ,slice and freeze them .That way I have them on hand when I need them
So cute seeing baby Hannah enjoying the potatoes.
I’ve been enjoying all your videos! Thank you for this #everybitcounts challenge! So far I’ve dehydrated plums, mangoes, and pineapple, and also made Orange Cranberry Sauce with frozen cranberries I had in my freezer since the holidays!

Hi Jessica, the stew looks so good. I love canning beef stew. I learn so much from you. Your children are beautiful. Hannah wasn't a baby any time. She's grown to fast. Love your sweet family.
Thats a good idea with the carrots, you cant beat the taste of a homegrown carrot! Well, maybe tomatoes!
The same thing happened to most of my potatoes too. I saw one plant flower and it immediately died. I blamed our super wet weather here in Vermont.
We puree up our tomatoes and can them every year. Then we use them as tomato juice to drink or to add to recipes throughout the year. We love it. I also boil it down for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, and ketchup and can them too. We used to remove the skins first, or put them through a juicer, but it seamed so wasteful. And those nutrients may as well be in us rather than in the compost.
Love all your food preservation ideas they help me decide what to do next thank you
Love your Garden..
I also clean and fresh all my peppers ..my son and daughter in-law bought me a vacuum sealer..I do meat.and veggies
❤ love your videos! Ive canned vegetable beef, turkey and chicken leftover soups (day 1), but didn't realize you can put bay and parsley in for canning.

Love my powdered tomatoes! Great for tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato soup!
This all looks so good!!
How funny! I literally just got done canning my homegrown potatoes that I planted only cause they started sprouting.
Your kiddos are just so cute & sweet
I slice and shred zucchini for freeze drying. Now I must do the noodle sheets. Already dried and perfect for lasagna. Great idea!
I enjoy your preserving videos and try to do some, too. I’m afraid I don’t keep up with your bounty. Impressive.
Just noticed the locusts on your tree at the beginning of the latest video. We had a locust tree on the farm when I grew up. Wondering how you use them.
We have mostly just fed them to the cows.
Woo-steh-sheer. Lived there for 9 years
I've never tried to can beef stew. I'll have to make some this year!
Watching your video reminds me that my great grandbabies call them magic in a pot
I'm learning so much from you. That's the positive side of the internet.
It's a delight to see Hanah enjoying her organic, home-grown food.💖💖
Thanks for sharing.👍🏽
One piece of advice take a tea towel or a lightly wet paper towel under your cutting board so it doesn't move while cutting items.
To vacuum seal shredded zucchini, shred, put in vacuum seal bags, then FREEZE, then seal.
Hello Jessica! Do you think I could do the zucchini slices for lasagna in the freezer? I do not have a freeze dryer. Thank in advance!
Don't forget to boost your immune system for this busy season. 💕
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Good morning, I enjoyed this video as I enjoy all of your videos. Happy to see baby Hanna enjoying the mashed potatoes
Thank you so much ❤
Great idea canning beef stew, I have to make a.m.e too.
Great video I love watching your videos amazing what you get done ,just wondering when you freezer dried your tomatoes for tomatoe paste can you dehydrate it as I don’t have a freeze dryer
Those potatoes were still a couple weeks early but still a good haul😊
Just wondering do you like homemade green pepper soup. I can it in qt jars. It's wonderful in the winter, only need to add in some cooked rice when serving it.
My food saver is the same with wet foods. I was watching Living tradition homestead and she froze hers before she put them in bags. I am thinking that might work.
That’s wonderful she’s eating her mashed potatoes. What was the first food you gave her before adding mashed potatoes? She’s beautiful!
Thank you!
We started with bone broth. Then eggs. Then a variety of fruits and veggies. Now we're doing mashed potatoes.
So you prefer the texture of freezing your peppers as opposed to freeze drying? Was trying to decide what to do with mine! Love your videos💕
I do a little of both. I like the frozen peppers for fajitas and the freeze dried for soups and casseroles.
@@threerivershomestead
Thank you so much for responding I appreciate it, and thanks for sharing all you do!💕

Baby Hannah is so cute when eating, looking like a baby bird when opening up her mouth, babies are so adorable when doing that 😊😊😊

I enjoy your posts I wondered if you had a video of how you preserve rhubarb
Not yet. Our rhubarb is young. Hopefully next year I can preserve some. I will mostly chop and freeze for baking.
I make stewed rhubarb (chopped rhubarb cooked with water, sugar, and lemon juice) then I freeze it in used yogurt containers. When thawed, I eat it over plain Greek yogurt.

Hi Jessica. I couldn’t help but think about how much people actually pay at the grocery store for the tiny potatoes. I live in Ontario Canada and those spuds cost almost 6 bucks at some grocery stores. U might get 15 tiny potatoes. You’ve got a gold mine in that box lol
Woostersauce. That's how it's pronounced.
Good morning
Good Job!
Hey Jessica, will your family be selling any g.dogs? I'm in NW Oh looking for a source nearby
💜💜💜💜💜
I think that not all potatoes flower, most of the ones that I plant do not.
Just FYI, azure has expensive carrots. Costco is a LOT cheaper. Organic carrots.
I wish we had a Costco around here. Closest one is 90 miles away 😭
Hey your pronouncing of Worcestershire isn't too off you literally say it as you see it for this one but over here in the U.K we shorten it to Woozie. My gosh Hannah is getting big. xx

Another beautiful day at your lovely farm. You get soooooo much done in a day, Jessica!
Good morning Jessica! This week I've preserved spearmint tea x2, made cherry jelly from pits (ala Meg Hollar), made cherry preserves, dried lavender tea, and canned 15 pints of peaches for winter eating.

Brilliant to use a cheese slicer to thinly slice the zucchini! I will try it.
I pay a lot for those tiny potatoes! They are called gourmet at my store! Good for you 👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️👍
