Absolutely Great Barbara. Thanks so much. I have learned so much, my family and friends as well. No one but you would put all this information in one video. You are So efficient, it’s hard to believe that 4 years ago you had never touched dirt😅 I’m starting to doubt myself 😊 what a blessing. thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the encouragement Barbara! I can, dehydrate and freeze. Wish I could afford to get a freeze dryer. Wish I could afford a high tunnel to grow food to use in a high tunnel too😂. Goals❤.
Wow!!!!!!! 🤩 you are awesome 🤩
HELLO EVERYONE, I CAN, DEHYDRATE, FREEZE, MYLAR BAGS, WATER BATH, USE JARS AND I USE A FOOD SAVER.
Awesome!!
Thank you Barbara , I learned so much, now I have the confidence to try these out, love you channel !!
Great Paula! Glad it was helpful.
Great video. Full of information. I will try the dehydration method with my air fryer and it will be my first time because of your professional motivation.
Ok great! Yes try it!
I freeze in freezer bags for now. I don't have the devices and I don't have the jars to can with. One day though. I want a freeze dryer and a few more devices
Fantastic video! I didn't preserve enough seasonally last year, other than canning, because of some medical issues. This motivated me to make 3 goals for the next month to set myself up to be able to do better this year- it's things I need to complete to simplify preservation before the garden starts producing too much! Thanks again! I always learn from you, and get inspired
You are welcome!
I dehydrate and use the Food Saver system for freezing things. I don't have the space to can...for now. 😊
I love this video Barbara!!! Thank you so very much for all of this information!! I’m just trying to dehydrate some foods. My daughter bought the Emeril Lagasse air fryer with dehydrator for me.
Nice!!
I preserve by freezing, dehydrating, and last year I tried fermenting my green beans, which turned out well.
Also, I use Souper Cube containers for freezing my soups and chili. Once it's frozen, I remove the food from the containers and place it in a freezer bag. They're also not cheap, but they're high quality.
I have that freezer book you showed and like it as well.
Oh yes souper cubes! I should have mentioned those too. They are great!
Hi, thanks you for this great Information. I do 3 forms of preserving, Canning, Freezing and Dehydrating. I have a small kitchen garden if I have extra I preserve it with one of these methods. I pray over my garden and the Lord gives the increase 😊
Amen and that is great news!
Thoroughly enjoyed you and this video❤❤❤ Used freezing in the past but want to learn canning ❤❤❤Sooooo helpful, thanks for clarity and informative ❤❤❤
You are welcome~Yes defiitely learn canning!
Dehydration, Freezing, Vacuum Sealing, Fermentation and Canning are the different ways I'm preserving my harvest! I have the digital electric canner, I'm not preserving for a lot of people. I also have a cheap dehydrator. I hope to one day get an Excalibur Dehydrator and a Freeze Dryer.
Ok great you are in motion!
Slice squash and zucchini very thin and put some BBQ seasoning or ranch on them and freeze dry.. omg the Chips are so good
Thank you-that sounds good!
Good Thursday Afternoon Barbara and Everyone. I totally agree with you...... freeze dried fruits at the grocery stores are super EXPENSIVE. I don't have a Freeze Dryer so I Dehydrate my fruit, snacks and veggies. Yes Ma'am I'm "Team Dehydrate" all day long. Me and Sophie (my Beagle) love my dehydrated apples, Kale (from my garden), bananas and Beef Jerky. I have a Corsi Dehydrator and I love it. I have a Presto Digital Canner and I do a lot of Canning. I do a lot of Freezer preserving also. I live in a Senior Community. My refrigerator/freezer is super small. So I invested in a small apartment size deep freezer three years ago.....game changer for me. It's just me and Sophie so I keep our freezer FULL with; Sophie's homemade dog food, my bulk meat items, prepped foods and veggies.
Very informative "Food Preservation" video Barbara. Thank You for sharing. Be Blessed and Have a Wonderful weekend.
P.S. I got my Azure order today. I couldn't decide on the Wildflower Honey or the Orange Blossom Honey so I got them both....glad I did because both are super delish! Thanks for the recommendation Barbara. Ms J😊
Oh you gave me some ideas for my dog-what all do you feed your dog that is dehyrdrated besides the apples? And awesome on your Azure order!
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead Oh my little greedy girl loves most veggies and fruit so, I am now dehydrating her veggie and fruit snacks. So loves dehydrated; sweet potatoes, kale, green beans, carrots, pears, apples, strawberries and blueberries. She loves cantalope and green melons too. I have not tried dehydrating the cantalope/green melons YET. I give her those two fruits fresh for now. I also dehydrate salmon and beef liver for Sophie. I remove the skin from the salmon and, slice it into bite size pieces. I slice the beef liver into strips. Both dehydrate nicely........both are a really smelly when dehydrating so I do both on my patio. When I dehydrate Beef Jerky, I make mine well SEASONED and Sophie's UNSEASONED. The Bulgogi Beef Jerky recipe is in my "Dehydrating Projects" Playlist.
I have been making Sophie's food (and snacks) for the last 4 years. I feel so much better knowing what my baby girl is eating because I am making it. Sophie has her own Playlist on my channel and you will find one of my "Batch Cooking for Sophie" videos in her Playlist......EEERRRRYYY body works in this house!!!!😂🐶I'm sure your dogs would love dehydrated veggies (and fruits) from YOUR beautiful garden. Be Blessed and Have a Wonderful weekend Barbara.
Ms J and Sophie!
This video is right on time for me. I have a ton of peppers & you’ve given me some options for preserving. I dehydrated some onions a few days ago. Oven is also a good option to dehydrate if one does not have the funds to purchase dehydrator. And tomato powder? what a great idea to use the skins.. nothing goes to waste. Thank you 😊
Thanks and you are welcome!
I'm looking to start pressure canning, but for now, just dehydrate in my oven. Yes, video has me thinking. Thank you
Ok great! Thanks for watching.
Denali has really nice Dehydrators and very good prices too. I purchased a pressure cooker(The Tanker)last year that is also made to safely use on a flat top stove. Now I just have to learn how to pressure can lol..I use it for water bath, but I’m determined to learn PC this week lol
Yes you can do it!
You just started and I had to laugh. I am prepping trays now for my freeze dryer have my pressure canner going have the dehydrator going and got kids packing bags for freezer
Oh wow!! Right on time!
Great video! Thank you so much for all of the great tips and advice!
You are welcome!
Great information! I freeze, vacuum seal and dehydrate. Loving your content.
Nice and thanks for watching!
I bought a COSORI dehydrator on Amazon for $150 6 trays 🎉
Nice! I never heard of that brand.
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead it is pretty good since I am a beginner I like it. I have basil in there dehydrating right now.
Hello thanks you for 😊
You are welcome!
Hi Barbara I enjoyed the video it was very informative. I am going to try canning and freezeing. It was very helpful. I have 23 tomato plants and hope I get a large harvest. See you next time.❤😊
Ok great place to start! WIshing you a great harvest!
Once again thank you for all the info. You look good and refreshed for the season. Always a pleasure. If possible can I pre order jalapeño salt let me know thank you again
Thanks. I have not thought about doing pre-orders but let me see. We will have salt starting next month.
I'm currently using mylar bags.
Canning must include the cost of jars. I use canning, fermenting, dehydration, vacuum sealing and freezing.🤗
Yes correct-I forgot to mention the cost of jars.
Mylar bags, freezing, dehydrating, and water bath canning. Husband bought me a pressure canner like a year and half ago, been trying to get the nerve to use it. Almost there lol.
You can do it!
I have this book it is amazing it’s my go to!! 28:41
Yess!
Digital canner, Mylar bags, freezer
Have you used your digital canner yet?
@@AGardenersJourneyHomestead No not yet. 😀. Had it for about 6 mos. Will be unboxing soon
Peaches 🍑 and apples. Not intimidating like my champion pressure canner😀
Brought 5 galvanized raised beds. The wood just fell apart. Thought I brought bad wood until you showed us on your channel the side of your raised bed falling off🤣 you keep it real for me. I was sad at first 😊
Your “5 ways to preserve food” was off the chain Barbara. Nobody does that. It’s just one topic at a time ….. then comes
Barbara… let me wrap this food preservation up in one video. Nobody does that Barbara!!
Awesome girl!! Blessings 😄😊
@@cynthiafreeman3022 Thanks so much! And yes galvanized beds are the way to go!
I absolutely love your videos, this one is on time. My husband and I just started fully this year. We're starting out small, but are having success. 3:11 Since we are small right now, we are going with the Ziploc bags. Prayerfully next year we'll expand. One question though, Is there a way to preserve watermelon?
Does a freeze Dryer spike your electric bill? What has been your experience?
No not at all!
