I have done Pineapple many times. No need for sugar, as it's sweet enough on it's own. I haven't tried oranges yet, but have done orange juice, just to havve on hand. I canned a few things up this week, as I was taking the time to clean out my freezer. You never know when your going to hav a power outage, and want to be sure they won't go bad if we do. 😄
Joy is the only word that I can think of while watching you can! Your excitement is so contagious. Yes, I’m going to try canning citrus. I have canned quite a bit of citrus juices with great success. Thank you for another great one, Carter.
Hi Carter, I love your videos! I have a Satsuma tree that is loaded...probably 200# of oranges. I decided to make orange juice. I bought a steamer juicer (VKP online). It is awesome! When I finished juicing, I noticed I had some gorgeous orange pulp left. I found a recipe for Orange Banana Jam in the new Bell Canning Cookbook. I didn't think I wanted banana flavored orange jam. I was WRONG! It is absolutely delicious! Plus, I got jam and juice from the same oranges! So far, I've made 15 qts of juice and 3 pts of jam. Lots more to go! If you purchase an extra pot to replace the colander pot of the juicer, you have a water distiller. Fantastic! I'm looking forward to using the juicer to make Elderberry syrup when it next summer! Thank you for all of your handy tips.
I canned oranges and grapefruit last month but didn't think of combining them. Maybe next time. Today we juiced 40 lbs of juice oranges, 6 lbs of lemons, and 3 lbs of limes. All in freezer. 8 qts oj, 5 half pints of lemon and 16 ice cubes of lime. Mashed potatoes going into fdryer and 12 twice baked potatoes are cooking. I love to make them up freeze them and take with us when we live in the camper. Very decadent meal lol. Your fruit looks great!! Btw dug 6 red potato plants. They were about med to small size, so leaving the remaining 20 plants for July 1 dig. We will also be digging white potatoes at our AL place after that. Last year we got 150 lbs of reds. Hope we get at least 100 lbs of whites
Constance, you are such a wonder woman! I don't know how you do all that you do. Where are you getting your citrus? The only "source" I've found here is Costco. I think my potatoes will be about the same timing as yours. They're just starting to die back. A couple more weeks, I'm guessing. I grew whites and golds this year. Can't wait to hear the final tally on your harvest!
@@growandpreserve my neighbors get food from the local Food bank ( leftovers from giveaways they work) Sometimes, there is stuff they don't like or an abundance they don't want. They always keep the junk and convenience foods but bring case boxes of fruit or vegs to me. There were 15 bags of oranges in this load, they kept 2 bags and brought me the rest. I purchased the limes and lemons on clearance shelf at Kroger. Since purchasing my freezedryer I buy tons of clearance produce marked down and process it that day. Last week I purchased 25 bell peppers for 43 cents each and boxes of sliced mushrooms for 99 cents. Instead of buying groceries, I hit sales and say hmmm what can I use those for, then I can,freeze, dry or dehydrate them. My meals are planned from those items first. So, today I made two trays of mashed potatoes from clearance potatoes, saved enough for dinner to go with my teriyaki chicken that did not seal and I have two fresh zucchini from the garden.
I love those Jars; they're my new favorites next to the pint-in-a-half-size jars. Carter, I think you would also love the Pint-in-a-half size, especially when you do your meals in a jar. I must try canning pineapple and mangoes yummy.
You are so right. I love the pint and a half jars, but I have such a hard time finding them. Don't laugh, but the only place here I've seen them is Hobby Lobby. Good grief. Where are you finding yours?
Carter the fruit looks beautiful. Good apple juice works for me. I'm excited picked my first vine ripened tomatoes today. "Sweetheart of the Patio" just delicious. See you soon.
Thanks, Donna! I'm so excited for your first ripe tomatoes! I had a couple ripe Sun Sugars today as well. I tried so hard to save one for David, but it just didn't happen!
Thanks, Erika! I used the citrus as a side in a chicken salad you might like. It has curry and mango chutney in it. So delish! You'll see it soon! Thanks so much for being here!
You are my hero! I bought some yellow mangos 20 cents each at our local Hispanic store. Dang I should have bought more. They are at the time to can and was not sure if and how to do them. TADA!!! there you are! Off to can my mangos Thanks for much!!!!
I’d eat that entire bowl of grapefruit before it made it into the jars lol It’s citrus season here in Texas so I will definitely be putting this information to use…thanks
I canned blackberries and blueberries last year in no sugar, needed my freezer space. I have used the blackberries for cobbler, worked great. Will definitely try canning citrus.
Nice! Another couple of great ones to have on the shelf! Let me know if you try the citrus. I do it every year and love it. Thanks for being here, Tynell!
Ok I love this. I used to buy canned mango in pineapple. I can't find them anywhere anymore here in the UK. I never thought about making it myself. The pineapple juice really lifted the flavour, and even people I know that didn't like mango liked it this way. I think I'm going to try and make it lol
Hi Carter! I haven’t tried canning fruit yet but it’s on my to do list. I’d like to can some apples and peaches for snacking or to easily switch to pie filling .
I just subscribed. Yesterday, I went to Costco and got all 3 type fruits. I need naval oranges, it's hard to find those organic. Today and tomorrow, I'll attempt this. I have an electric waterbath canner.
I canned several individual jars of oranges and grapefruit last January, and when I opened them this month (November) several had gone bad. The fruit (both types) tasted like it was starting to ferment. Has this ever happened to you? Any idea what may have happened? I followed all directions.
Carter, how do you like your digital canner? I just purchased two because my stove is small and my 23 qt presto pressure canner doesn’t do well on my small stove eyes.
I love it, Lorene. It is so freeing to be able to walk away without having to keep one ear out for the jiggle! I think you’re going to be so happy with them. The first couple times I still wanted to supervise, but it didn’t need me after the couple buttons that needed to be pushed. Excellent! 🙆🏻♀️
I just finished watching a video and the man says that ghee does not bother people having issues with dairy because the milk solids are removed. That's what he said. "Super easy way to make Ghee in the oven" - The FOOD Element.
Thank you so much for thinking of me. I've tried ghee a couple times over the years, but still haven't been able to tolerate it. I'm due to try again...maybe this time will be the charm!
@@growandpreserve Or in a bowl with rice, catfish and hoisin sauce. Probably won't win a lot of culinary awards with that one, but it sounds good to me.

Welcome, Susan! You really gave those oranges a workout. Good for you! Orange Banana jam? Who would have thought that was a thing?!
This was SO GOOD we are doing it again! Thanks Carter!
Yay! Go, Greta! Such a great item to have on the shelf. Thanks so much for reporting back!
So pretty! Little jars of sunshine!

@@growandpreserve my grandma lived through the depression and was a Rosie the riveter. She taught me well. And well, now I'm older than she was then😂
Yes! Yellow mango has wonderful flavor. Your jars are a beautiful bounty.
Thank you, Katie! How did I not know about yellow mangoes before? So yummy! Great to have you here, Katie.
@@growandpreserve I like to put them in a nice green salad with a fresh slightly sweetened italian dressing

I'm glad I found your video on citrus fruit. Now just have to see what's on sale and get those smaller jars. Thanks for making the video.
My pleasure, Celia! You'll be so happy to have these on hand!
Hi Carter, this looks so beautiful. I can't wait for the pantry videos where you use this fruit!
Thanks, Erika! I used the citrus as a side in a chicken salad you might like. It has curry and mango chutney in it. So delish! You'll see it soon! Thanks so much for being here!

The list gets longer each week. LOL 😂Canned citrus is so delicious! Thank you again! 🙂
Just trying to keep you busy and out of trouble, Vicki! ;-)

Hi Carter! I haven’t tried canning fruit yet but it’s on my to do list. I’d like to can some apples and peaches for snacking or to easily switch to pie filling .
Apples and peaches both sound like winners for the pantry. I like your thoughts on canning them for versatility! Good to see you, Red!
All looks yummy. Where did you get your vinegar jug you use? I love it!
Here you go, Janet: amzn.to/3XmqFt9
I believe they are called Honey Mangoes! We just bought some .
I think you're right. They're so good!

What’s processing time for pints? Ty
Same as for the half pints!
I canned a fruit cocktail type mix of pineapple, pears, peaches, grapes, and cherries. So many things that can be canned! Great video.
Sounds delish, Judy!
Can you use frozen fruit or it has to be fresh?
You can use frozen mangoes or pineapple that are completely thawed.

Yep! Eat your fruit, Wayne! You can always throw it in a pan with some meatballs or sausage and some jalapenos.

@@waynehendrix4806 Well, I would never have put that together! But whatever sounds good to you works great!
@@growandpreserve Thank you for your kindness. I'm definitely not like the other kids.😆
Why 10 minutes citrus vs. 15 minutes pineapple? I may have missed you saying so. Sorry😊😊😊
