Hey there Chrystal, great video, a quick tip, I saw in another video they put a crushed up zinc tablet in green beans to keep them greener, it might also work for your chard etc.
P.s. We've used the paper towels and just let them dry on the sheet and just tear them into little pieces and planted it with the remainder of paper towel attached. Works well too.
We put a lot of calzones in the freezer for a quick meal. I'll bet that adding some of those greens into a calzone w/mozzarella, red sauce, garlic and other goodies would be pretty good!
I love greens. The liquid in the jars I add to soups. I've hated powdered milk all my life until I started adding a bit of vanilla or caramel sauce to it. You add oddball things to your food just like me. Cool. Why waste it when it can be hidden in sauces or soups. More nutrition. Stay safe my friends ☺️
Awesome yall! So nice to see good real folks on the tube! Lol I was saying yup yup on everything you think like making something shorter or easier than what other folks say you should do! Totally agree! I got to get to canning here soon too! So much to do! God bless yall!
I preserve greens too. I like smoothies and if you put some in there, it's delicious and nothing goes to waste! You can dehydrate them and freeze them too! Keep going girl!
I make a omelette like dish with eggs and potatoes and sausage, sometimes I will add spinach greens to the dish. I usually will use a dozen eggs and cook the potatoes and sausage first then add the greens and then the eggs. Once the eggs are starting to cook on the bottom I will toss it into the over to finish cooking kale I add to minestrone soup! It tastes amazing
Sounds awesome! I need to make up a bunch of breakfast burritos for Mr. Reeve’s breakfasts. I should totally add greens to that. On another note, I have a question I’d like to ask you outside of the comment section. Would you be willing to email me? theflattirefarm@gmail.com
I don't can my greens but I do dehydrate them and use it for lots of things. First I cram as much as I can and vacuum seal them. I use them in my daily smoothie, baked goods as powder. And then soup, pasta,casserols as crushed. I don't grind it to powder till I need to refill the jar with the powdered greens.
I have been freeze drying our greens since the tomatoes got all the pint and quart jars!! 😅 I love using all parts of my veggies so I really appreciate all the ideas!
Yay!! I’m so glad you’re finding it helpful. So funny story, along time ago, I decided that if I had to pay for lifs, then I was going to put everything in quart jars. Because a quart jar cost about the same as a pint jar and I only have to use one lid rather than two jars and two lids. Makes sense, right? OK well then I forgot this whole idea that there’s only two of us eating. So, when we open a quart of salsa, we pretty much have to eat salsa on everything for a week to use it all up. Ha! So now, even though I have lots jars, I have to prioritize what goes in the pint jars because I have much fewer of them than I have quart jars. 😊
😂 We are in the same empty nesting boat! Even though there are two of us I can like we have little ones still at home. Pint jars have become harder to find in our area so only my favorite foods get to be put in there! I was going to order Azure jars but saw your comment in a different video about where they are made so I'll have to pass up on those. Darn! Glad you let us know! :)
Even though I live in Northern Pennsylvania, I think I might have some southern blood in me! I LOVE COLLARD GREENS! But those leaves sometimes are tough and I have some arthritis in my hands. So stripping the stalks is hard. I always wanted to be a stripper, no wait, that's another show, LOL.... I also chop up the stems for soups! Waste not, want not. I wish that they made something to take the strings off of celery! I love watching you and Mr. Reeve. You make my day! Thank you for all that you do. Daisy is so adorable.... OK I'm babbeling, just call me brook. lol
We’ve lived in Alaska, our whole lives. And so sometimes so in all honesty, I’m a little sheltered an have no clue about how people in other places do things. I’ve had a couple people mention pepper sauce. Is that like Tabasco or Frank’s red hot? Or is it something different? 😊
Whatever kind of greens are SOOO good with pepper vinegar on it! I'm trying to find the right peppers to make my own, but my dad loved the stuff! They are usually really small (birds eye maybe?) In plain white vinegar. My understanding is that after the bottle is empty except for the peppers, you can just keep adding vinegar to it, while you use another bottle. I can a lot of milk now. I never did it in the past. Really handy to have on the shelf! Its so good! Somebody awesome sent me one of those strippers like you used. 😉 It works great & its a big time saver!
I love your channel. Don’t know if it’s just a southern thing but being from Kentucky, we eat greens with pinto beans, fried potatoes and corn bread. It’s amazing.
Wow 😯 you got a lot done today! I didn’t know you could can milk…..I grew up on powdered milk 🤢. I guess I would have to say…I wouldn’t use the greens, as a carnivore, moose, fish, bear, beef…makes deciding what’s for dinner pretty easy 😂 But those greens looked amazing, great looking garden!!❤
I can nettle just like you ... mad shoved in a jar, add water, can it. We dump it in everything but we really love cream of nettle soup. Pureed. Yummy. And very, very nutritious! I have canned milk, too. Used it. Didnt die.
I haven't yet canned greens. Ive frozen them and dehydrated them. Dehydrating them is great, because they shrink up so much, and it's shelf stable. I add them as you do, ti just about everything you can. LOL I'm not fond of the texture of canned greens, so if i use them, i tend to mux them with other things. One of my favorite ways i used them up when i had a bunch was to cook up some pasta and white beans and mix tgat witg tgw grrens in olive oil and garlic. If you like cheese, some parmesan on top would be nice. Guess i might have to make that for dinner tonight 😊
Ha! Dinner sounds great! I agree that dehydrating them would be much better way to preserve them. But living with off grid power canning is much more energy efficient. I do have a 10 tray dehydrator, but the amount of greens I can actually get into that dehydrator is very small compared to the 24 hours of power it uses. My dehydrator uses about as much power as two refrigerators running constantly. I do dehydrate some things, but I’m really picky and choosy on what I dehydrate. And since the sun is starting to wane, it’s definitely not the time to use it extensively. i’m hoping to dehydrate some of my oregano though. I might just put that on the tray and let that air out. Happy Wednesday friend.
Your greens look amazing. Mine did not do too well this year. We had a wet summer, and many slugs and snails found the greens too good to pass up. Id use the canned greens in dips, quiches, or simpky sauteed and strewed on top of different things: baked potato, chicjen with cheese, or as a Florentine bed for fish.
Been following this challenge for last 2 yrs. I think Ms SandiJ is way ahead in here! I've got cucumbers exploding, dill pickles, dill pickle relish, dehydrated cucumber chips, herbs dehydrated, curing our garlic and some potatoes, froze a lot of sweet peppers that's as far as I got. Hmmmm, 2 or 4 weeks ago you did all those berries, that counts! You work, you get a pass! You're ahead of the game!! Youre doing well! LMAO you cramming the greens in jar!! I'm the onlyone that eats greens n lima beans, my guys will not touch them with 10 foot pole unless chopped in salad or chopped fine in a stir fry. I dehydrate n powder them n sneak them in! Sometimes I'm a rebel. My kitchen my rules!
Whooo! Yes! My kitchen, my rules. Ha! But …lima beans... can’t do it. Sandi is amazing. She canned an entire farm worth of beans last year, an entire farm! She’s my Bean Queen. ❤️ Love all the comments. Jealous of your cucumbers. Zucchini season this next week though! Whoop!
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska I seen what she posted few videos before, I'm in awe! I'm just greatful for what I have thus far. We have maters, no ripe ones yet. Got yellow squash I do can them. I have my grandmother's ball book, they did do it. Not approved now, after researching, found it's just a quality issue. Fine in a casserole, gonna get soft anyway. I pick n choose my battles being a rebel. I prefer cold pack over blanching. Not saying it's approved, just what I do. 🙂
@@ljtminihomestead5839 It was 41° this week, so my tomatoes have this week to ripen, then I’m picking them green and putting them in a cardboard box under the table. 😊
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska we've had haze from the Canadian fires keep temperatures cooler on n off all summer and more rain than normal. There's a lot out there, just not ripening. By now I shouldve had bushels. I'm not complaining bc last yrs drought was worst yr I've had in 35 yrs.
I’m hoping to make something cool out of the ones I didn’t freeze. We’ll see if I’m cool enough. Ha! Always trying to find ways to use the things that generally get thrown away. 😊
I did some Alfredo Sauce this year canned a 2 gal. batch my husband made up it is just the two of us and making a batch of alfredo sauce is way too much for us to eat in a couple of meals, so I figured that if they can commerically can milk and cheese I should be able to. I have something like 16 pints of the alfredo sauce on the shelf. have used a couple of them with shrimp and chicken alfredos and taste like fresh. According to the recipe I found on line is shelf stable for 2 yrs. We lived in Alaska from 1995 to 2004 left in November of 04 and settled in MS. The winter cold was more than our older bones could take. Still miss the cooler weather of summers but don't miss the winters.
That’s awesome about the Alfredo sauce. I’d be interested in checking out that recipe if you have a link for it. Where abouts did you guys live when you here?
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska We lived in Homer. My husband back in the late 70's early 80's was in the Coast Guard and was in Ketchikan. The Alfredo sauce was just made recipe He made a big batch wound up being almost 2 gal any recipe you like He used heavy cream and 1/2 & 1/2 with shredded Parmesan Cheese Put in pint jars because that is about all we will eat in a one time. Pressured canned it for 10 min @ 10lbs of pressure. When it cools look like it might be a bit lumpy but when your open the jar and heat it up it is like you had just made it We used the 1st jar with some shrimp and it was delicious. the 2nd time I used smoked chicken and it was good but the smoked flavor was a bit more than we like.. I love watching your videos and the back and forth between you and Mr. Reeve. Amy from Mississippi
Excellent video, you certainly know your stuff. Canning milk is something I never heard of until now. How about butter? Have you ever canned butter? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It would definitely take less space. We live offgrid on a tiny solar system so I try to run the dehydrator as little as possible. We use about 5% of the power the average person uses. Sometimes, I dehydrate on top of the wood stove, its not wood stove season yet. Soon though. I likely will run it for dehydrating oregano though. 😊 Thanks for watching and have a blessed weekend.
Ok lady your garden and the greenhouse look so beautiful! I'm so embarrassed of ours at the moment. I've never canned our greens. Only frozen and dehydrated but I'd like to try it. Definitely want to can some more milk soon. Everything looks awesome friend!
I would use it in quiche! Something you might do if you don't put your milk the middle of canner, you can put a quart of water. I keep it for times electric goes off.
Yeah Flat Tire Farm has a video up! And You are like the Everready Bunny! Gorgeous Swiss chard. A ton of it too. I love rebel canners! I always learn something new from you. Would cows milk be the same to can do you think? I love your philosophy of using everything up. ❤🙏🏻 Val C
Ooooooo! That’s a genius idea! If only I could grow winter squash bigger than the size of a golf ball. Ha! Last year we did get a couple that were about the size of a grapefruit. I think next year, I’m gonna order winter squash through azure standard. I have a friend that lives near North Pole and she got beautiful cases of squash this year from Azure.
@@jenniferr2057 I was totally thinking of dehydrating shredded zucchini, but I wasn’t sure what the texture was going to be like. We’re definitely trying it now. Thanks!
It can definitely be a difficult vegetable at times. Being so tough and all. But I kind of consider it as just a filler for soups, or to add to white pasta, etc. Thanks for watching and commenting friend. Happy Tuesday!
I love your videos! I was wondering if you drain the greens can you add them into home made pasta ie Italians add spinich to make the green pasta you can add it to make gnoci add to the potato and flour. Add into eggs to make frittata drain and add on pizza with goats cheese or riccitta obviously in minestrone loads of uses. I had never thought of canning greens but will now thank you x
Hey friend! I bet you could totally do that. They’d have a bit higher liquid content, bur maybe puree them in a blender then squeeze in a cheese cloth. I better try that! Thanks for the awesome idea’ Be blessed friend.
Can you do all seeds like that are just tomatoes. When I put up stuff Crystal light beans and stuff like that I was always taught by my grandma to put a little salt in there.
@@RobinJones-ow9oz Seeds are best to be dried out first but this will work. Salt is necessary when canning it’s only optional for taste. I add it in later so I can determine the amount of salt I want in there exactly.

I canned so many greens two years ago that we are still eating them. I don’t find them mushy, but then, they’re collard and turnip greens.
You are awesome! Thanks for watching.
Make sure to try cubes of winter squash in chili. It is sooo good!
Ooooooo! That’s a genius idea! If only I could grow winter squash bigger than the size of a golf ball. Ha! Last year we did get a couple that were about the size of a grapefruit. I think next year, I’m gonna order winter squash through azure standard. I have a friend that lives near North Pole and she got beautiful cases of squash this year from Azure.
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaskaChunks of dehydrated zucchini are good too.... We like the texture of rehydrated dehydrated zukes!
@@jenniferr2057 I was totally thinking of dehydrating shredded zucchini, but I wasn’t sure what the texture was going to be like. We’re definitely trying it now. Thanks!
@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska I do shredded and cubed. Shreds will dissolve in, given enough time. Cubes kind of hold their own. Have at it!
@@jenniferr2057 thanks for the tips!
I have never messed with kale don't know if I've ever ate it. But great job.
It can definitely be a difficult vegetable at times. Being so tough and all. But I kind of consider it as just a filler for soups, or to add to white pasta, etc. Thanks for watching and commenting friend. Happy Tuesday!
I love your videos! I was wondering if you drain the greens can you add them into home made pasta ie Italians add spinich to make the green pasta you can add it to make gnoci add to the potato and flour. Add into eggs to make frittata drain and add on pizza with goats cheese or riccitta obviously in minestrone loads of uses. I had never thought of canning greens but will now thank you x
Hey friend! I bet you could totally do that. They’d have a bit higher liquid content, bur maybe puree them in a blender then squeeze in a cheese cloth. I better try that! Thanks for the awesome idea’ Be blessed friend.

@@DimensionalHorse thanks friend!
Can you do all seeds like that are just tomatoes. When I put up stuff Crystal light beans and stuff like that I was always taught by my grandma to put a little salt in there.
@@RobinJones-ow9oz Seeds are best to be dried out first but this will work. Salt is necessary when canning it’s only optional for taste. I add it in later so I can determine the amount of salt I want in there exactly.

Whoop! Hey friend! ❤️
Rewatching to get canning. Wanted to remember what you did with stems
I haven’t posted the video where I did something with the stems yet. I shot it all but not edited yet. Probably sometime early this week.❤️
It looks like a green feather duster to me. Could you use one to get rid of any cobwebs around the house? 😅
Well, we likely have enough cobwebs to make that worth while. And its biodegradable, ha!
I've never canned greens. We just eat it fresh in salads. Have you ever tried fermenting them?
Oooo! I had not tried fermenting them. Is that a thing? Maybe with garlic…hmmmm. Sounds worth a try!
We sauté them, or add them to soups
Hey friend! Do you just sauté them with butter or add other goodies?
Usually olive oil and salt. Try to cook off some of the water. Nothing like fresh but good during the winter
@@6610andrewc smart! Thanks!
A lot done quickly
Sometimes we just got a little bit a time and got to make the best of it, right friend. 😊 have a great weekend.
never thought about canning greens, not that I will LOL but good info. For me a garden is a place for plants to die.
Ha! I get it. Have a blessed weekend, Jim.
will do@@FlatTireFarmHomesteadingAlaska
