Hello Dan! I enjoy&learn a lot from your Channel also! I just caught up with you a few hours ago. Patara does make it look easy, water bathing. I'm getting ready to try "putting up" blueberry &cherry Jan/preserves. Just starting to get ripe strawberries...
We might think we are nurturing our garden but something the truth is our garden is really nurturing us. Much like our garden Patara is our mustard seed nurturing us as homesteaders and Christians Patara thanks for the blessing and giving me so much knowledge with homesteading, canning, and so much more. Many blessings
Patara, on Saturday I sent a box of wine cap mushroom spawn to your PO Box. They are simple to grow outside on wood chips. I got home, and the letter and instructions were sitting on my kitchen table. So these will be arriving in a separate envelope. Love the channel!
the pectin is in the under ripe strawberries. so if you have a hard time getting it to set, next time you might try putting some slightly under ripe berries in the mix. :)
Canned for my 1st time couple days ago. Pulled pork😋 now have ground beef cooking to can. Trying to do the meats in my freezer in case of power outages🙂
Re-enactments are so cool, you see a lot of old ways some are keeping alive . Good thing because these old ways might be needed again very soon. Blacksmiths, builders so very important along with herbalist apothecary . I love strawberry jam preserves
Yesterday, I made strawberry jam from berries in the freezer and blueberry jam from frozen bags on sale for 99 cents a bag! Today, I made ice cream from powdered milk and strawberry jam--used my immersion blender---delicious!! Need to use up a can of expired powdered milk so its going to be our frozen dessert all summer (we eat dessert only once a week, usually).
Hello. I'm wondering if you would be so kind as to let us know how the strawberry jam made from the frozen berries turned out , please? Some people say to only use fresh berries. I've never canned jam before & I would like to so I'm just curious
I'm canning bacon today, got to go pick strawberries at 10 acre farm here in Western NC. I'M SO BUSY I meet myself going all the time lol Much love to everyone ✨❤💕💛
My ancestor fought in the Revolutionary war in the Shenandoah valley Virginia I love a good reenactment thank you for all you do Patera have a blessed day
You were in my neck of the woods. Have spent many an hour reenacting at Martin's in days gone by. You were a stones throw from the farm. My view of the Gap is priceless! This is God's country.
My husband and I did reenactment like these. He also did one at and old fort in Indiana. Blacksmith, Baker, leather maker. I learned different ways to do things my grandmother taught me.
I just finished canning up our figs from last fall. Pulled them out of the freezer to make space. You are right, strawberry jam is one of the easiest to can. I also like blueberry jam, another easy one. This year, finally, I have figured out an easier way to make seedless blackberry. The chickens appreciate the seeds, I don’t! I need to check on how many quarts of frozen strawberries I have now. Maybe that will be next! Thanks Patara!
Looks delicious. I am excited to can some strawberries soon. I just did a mixed berry jam last week. Had a mixture of berries that needed out of the freezer, had been in a tad long. Take care. Thanks for all you do.
Your jam is beautiful just like you! We reached 104 degrees in Texas yesterday...heat is zapping my “busy” plans! Please Pray for the rain we need it so much.
Patara Thsnk you for this wonderful and easy Strawberry jam recipe , I can’t wait to make some myself ! Also I love your videos your a bright light in the mist of all this shortage mess we’re in ! I’m so excited I’ve been praying that God would guide me to some 56 gallon food grade barrels to store water in for my stockpile ! Well yesterday I secured 5 / 55 gallon food grade barrels and I got them for $5.00 each , the man said he just wanted them out of his yard and I am glad he did want them out of his yard and that I had seen them and ask about them ! I know they are food grade because there is shipping label on each barrel ) they had Tart Cherry juice Concentrate ( 2) snd (3) had Blackberry juice concentrate, labels had the shipped content on each barrel with the company name and address and phone number and the inside of each barrel has a enamel type coating ( but isn’t ) inside each barrel and each barrel has a lid with locking ring ! I l live on a tight fixed income and have been stockpiling since the pandemic started , but couldn’t ever find any reasonable food grade barrels once the shortages began , but God blessed me and I had to tell you , I’m so happy !! I feel that I’ve taken a huge step towards completing my stockpile to a place where I at least feel comfortable that I can survive for a good while since I’ve been stocking back for over 2 yrs and can at least take a deep breath and continue to stock as I can on my income and as prices allow !! Now out to wash well with water snd bleach and wipe down very good with vinegar and tincexeith water again and let sit dry them fill with water !!love ya and God bless ❤️🙏✝️🙋🏻
Thanks for sharing! I love strawberries but my diverticulitis doesn’t! I will be making cherry jam from fresh cherries I put in freezer this summer as soon as I feel better from my surgery! I love cherries too! Blessings❣️❣️
I’m getting ready to do my jam also! ☺️ I love the Reenactments. My friend and her family do this every year. We love history in my house. (Real history) 😉 ❤️🙏
God Bless you sweet Sista. I constantly pray for you for all the farm life that you share with all the farmers and homesteaders. God has a special place for you in Heaven one day. 👍🛐💕💕
I dont know about anyone else but there are times when I put off putting canned foods away because I love to look at them on the counter! Especially Jams...they are so pretty!
I made so much jams and jellies last year that I am going to be looking for alternatives for my berries this year. I still have over a year supply of jellies The foam is my favorite part of jams and jellies. It tastes so good like candy!
My hubby and I used to do Civil War reenacting. Many of our unit, the 48th Tennessee, also crossed over into Rev War reenacting. Your video of the reenactment sure did bring back good memories. I make my strawberry jam exactly like you did. I never use pectin in anything so I can use less sugar. I like to taste the fruit and not the sugar.
Hi Patara! Marching on toward the end of June here and Publix had a sale on strawberries - $.99 each little container. I scooped up several added to the ones I have in the freezer, and I have strawberry sitting in the refrigerator until I can get everything else ready. Thank you so much for sharing this! Especially the part where you know I can kind of make it as sweet and as thick as I want. Thank you so much!
I have canned meat and veggies. Just didb5 wuarts of tomatoes sauce and have chicken on now. Never did jam. Fornsome reason that intimidated me. After seeing this, I may finally give it a whirl! Thank you for all of your GREAT VIDEOS. I even have my hubby watching them!!
I’m so excited to make this strawberry jam! I got some nice strawberries at Costco today and this is a perfect way to use them and put them in our pantry!
You've inspired me. It's been a long time since I've canned jam (long time ago when we used wax seal like my mama taught me), but now I'm planning to do later this week. Thanks so much! I can do this!
No local yet, didn't want to wait, used sliced frozen for first batch! Delicious, just needed a little more cooking down and I added a chopped Granny Smith apple to help it tighten up. Thank you!
Thank you , Patara, rewatching this today April 30, 2024 God bless you for all the amazing content you bless us with . Mrs j Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
Patara, you are always informative and you have refreshed my memory today. I can't use up large jars of preserves because I am diabetic. A little bit here and there and I am OK. SO, yesterday I tried little jars of rhubarb preserves and the little jars will not fit into the water bath canner like your larger ones do. Please, could you post a followup video on how to work with 1/4 and/or 1/2 pint jars? Some items just need smaller jars so you don't waste the contents. Thank you so much for keeping us informed and educated in the home arts. ~ Lynda
Oh, Patera, I could almost smell those beautiful strawberries as you were mashing away! The jam looked beautiful in the jars. I agree that they would make beautiful Christmas (or anytime) gifts.
I canned strawberry jam for the first time since I was a kid. Back then we would sterilize the jars, lids, and ring; pour in the boiling hot jam; put on the lid and ring, and leave them upside down for 24 hours to seal them. I guess that method is a no-no now. It's a good memory anyway. Thank you for the inspiration!
Strawberry fig is a family favorite. Your recipe is so awesome. I agree on the chunkiness. YUMMY!!!! Who knows? We may be living just like that reenactment.
My mother made Strawberry jam, growing up loved it with fresh berries fast forward to 1997, 6 months married hubby, wanted jam at the store he was going to buy Smuckers, (yuck) so I said no went to a couple of yard sales and bought jars, canner, l bought new lids and rings, bought fresh berries (June) and made 4 batches, hubby was hooked 26 years later going to buy berries again for more batches of Jam, never in 26 years have we ever bought jam.
I have never canned but I'm fixing to start .. I have to buy everything to do it. My husband has cancer and my daughter is in liver failure I'm raising 2 grandsons..Its past time that I should have started this .. My momma canned.. Patara I appreciate you doing these videos. God bless you ..
Have my last pint batch pressure canning 40 lbs chicken thighs! Whew! Another batch of strawberries maybe tomorrow; I need to go get the suckers off my tomatoes! We got 2 really good deep rains yesterday! Very thankful! Thank you Patara for keeping so inspired to prepare for these uncertain times!
I tried your jam recipes and it worked out great! I have two cases of half pints. I am going to use pints next time. We loved the taste with the lemon juice.
You are amazing and you could have been a talk show host or actress .I watch you everyday .Youre so interesting .Thank you for donating your time and effort learning alot .
I agree with Lady Debra. You inspire me. I'm a 72 year old widow and I want to be like you when I grow up. I'm always ready to watch your next video.
Elaine dont you just love Patera..she is my favorite youtuber.. I get so excited when my notifications go off for her videos .

So true!
I totally agree
I do the same with my masher. Every strawberry is a politician! I love smashing them. That foam is so good on biscuits.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s too funny!!
Too funny!!
Love it!
Skimmed off foam on saltine crackers is a favorite snack on jam-making day. My Mom gave it to us and I gave it to my kids.
Hilled my potato buckets, trellised malabar spinach, replanted beans. Making a run for preps today.
I've been looking for malabar spinach to plant here in south Florida. I think I'll have to order it.
I've made strawberry jam, pineapple jam, blackberry jams also. They turned out wonderfully.
I was hopeful for dewberry..noooope. 😭
Pineapple jam?? That sounds heavenly

Patara, you are totally awesome at everything you do. Can't get to your videos fast enough.
WE AS A SOCIETY MUST REMEMBER OUR PAST
Thank you for this. I've been afraid of canning after an epic fail in the 80's. I feel an urgent need to learn everything I can
the pectin is in the under ripe strawberries. so if you have a hard time getting it to set, next time you might try
putting some slightly under ripe berries in the mix. :)
Well I was just wondering if you would post today and BOOM there you are! So glad to 'see' you today, my friend.
Me too 😂
Canned for my 1st time couple days ago. Pulled pork😋 now have ground beef cooking to can. Trying to do the meats in my freezer in case of power outages🙂
Strawberry foam on toast was my favourite treat as a kid ❤

Patara, your strawberry jam looks delicious. Did you use 1/4 cup of lemon juice?
For pectin I add a little strawberry jello to the jam. We really like the flavor it adds too and I can use less sugar since the jello is sweet.
I'm canning bacon today, got to go pick strawberries at 10 acre farm here in Western NC. I'M SO BUSY I meet myself going all the time lol Much love to everyone ✨❤💕💛
Can you share the name of the farm?

@Teresa Ellis that's where he did them. He's from Hammond Indiana and lived in Warsaw. His son is still up there. I have pictures somewhere
That reenactment and music opening brought tears to my eyes Patara.❤️
They are so special!
Indeed.

Love using my freezer 'leftovers' to make Mixed berry jam!! It's never the same twice but always amazing!!! God bless!!

I love Martin Station! You're over on my side of the mountain ❤️
You could even add a few diced jalapeños to the pot when it’s cooking down for some spicy jam. It’s delicious on a Triscuit with some cream cheese!!!

You could do the low sugar or sugar free jams.
Nice and should come in handy, I've been thinking of trying to grow strawberries this year once summer comes around in my area.

Expanding my garden today. Love making strawberry jam 💗
Got 18 jars myself from the farms here in Portland, TN and then 2 jars of strawberry syrup for pancake and biscuits.
I skim my foam off the jam as it cooks. I agree that it shouldn't be wasted! It is delicious on ice cream-Yum!
Working in my garden this morning. It was nice to come in to a new post from you. Peace and bountiful blessings.
I was at Martin station on Saturday love that place going back in the fall
That. Spoon is cool
Love the strawberry milk idea with the skimmed foam
Strawberry fig is a family favorite. Your recipe is so awesome. I agree on the chunkiness. YUMMY!!!! Who knows? We may be living just like that reenactment.
Jam making is my favorite time of canning season! I like all kinds!

Your Jam looks so delicious 😋!
Yummy! I do it the same way but add a few apples or pears just as a thickener. 🍓
My brother and wife do the American Revolution reenactment too. Learn so much from them. Going to make strawberry jam.
Thank you for posting thus bc the strawberries just started getting big!
Just made a batch today from strawberries I got at the market - delicious!
I made strawberry rhubarb jam last week. Love making jams. They are a sweet treat in our pantry. We need a treat along with the basics.
I think that I Saw My True Love at the Enactment😏👵, She was as Pardy as your Strawberry🍓🍫 Jam Patara!
Yeah! You made strawberry jam. It looks great.
I just made Strawberry Rhubarb Jam on Sunday for the first time. It taste wonderful. I love watching your channel, keep doing what your doing. ❤️
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Patara! I meant to ask where you get your spoon, absolutely love it.
Canned some Bourbon Pears today! Brandy cherries last Friday and Saturday! Planted more flower bulbs too
Salsa day for me tomorrow! I got my tomatoes, peppers and such ready to go! Hopefully I will get at least 12 pints.
Hey! This is the video I've been waiting for. "We be Jammin'". 📻 🎼 🎤 🎵 🎶
I can't wait to try water bath canning some of my own berries this year!! If I ever get warm enough weather for them to grow!
Thank you!! I'm doing this tomorrow. I'm teaching my girls as I teach myself.
Have my last pint batch pressure canning 40 lbs chicken thighs! Whew! Another batch of strawberries maybe tomorrow; I need to go get the suckers off my tomatoes! We got 2 really good deep rains yesterday! Very thankful! Thank you Patara for keeping so inspired to prepare for these uncertain times!
Hello, first time viewer here from a suggestion from Steve and Nina’s Homestead. 👍🏼
I tried your jam recipes and it worked out great! I have two cases of half pints. I am going to use pints next time. We loved the taste with the lemon juice.
Great job!
I just bought some jars and will be getting the tools for canning. I'm starting my garden so as that comes, I'll be preparing other things.
Good place to visit. Have a great day 😀
Thank you for taking the time to video the strawberry jam canning. Inspiring!
That’s where I live! About 12 miles from it
You are amazing and you could have been a talk show host or actress .I watch you everyday .Youre so interesting .Thank you for donating your time and effort learning alot .
I'd like to know how thick it gets without pectin because it is expensive. How long do you cook it to thicken it?
Glad to see you found time to get your jam canned.
