    Make yourself a canning book by using a binder and plastic sleeves. Make notes so you will remember next year. Enjoy your videos. I love canning.

    I stumbled across your channel last night and have been binge watching your videos. Great channel. I’m loving your videos. Congratulations on the little one on the way. I hope you have an easy delivery with a healthy baby. Just a suggestion when canning not to use iodized, table salt. It can turn cloudy, discolor food. It will still be safe but not recommended due to the added minerals in iodized salt. I always use canning salt, sea salt, or Redman’s Real salt. Also, when pressure canning you only need 2-3 inches of water in the canner. It is not like water bath canning. Never pressure can with the jars completely submerged. That might be research that you want to do because I’m not sure it’s safe to consume with pressure canning it like that. When pressure canning the canner builds pressure to reach temperatures above boiling and if completely submerged then it can’t reach that temperature. Boiling water reaches 212 and pressure canned food needs to reach 240 degrees to be safe for consuming. Just a suggestion. I learned a lot off of the USDA website and center for home food preservation website. I’m so glad I found your channel, I’m enjoying your videos a lot. Someday I hope to move to Alaska just not anytime soon.

    Put a little vinegar in your canner with the water. This will take the rust off the rack.

    Your canned goods look wonderful and they will be a great thing come winter. Also, just a suggestion, that fat could be rendered into beautiful tallow to use for a multitude of things.

    Plain Salt or canning salt is the best for canning and curing jerky and such. Not trying to be bossy it's from experience .Nice place you have .

    This was the most entertaining canning video I've ever seen 🤠. We watch a channel in Latvia and she cans everything without a pressure cooker, just water bath and then turns the jars upside down, interesting!

    Stove looks good, but be sure to crack windows. Save the fat for seasoning the really lean meat.

    You should use canning/pickling salt to can with or kosher salt. Table salt, especially iodized salt is not recommended. Your food will be safe but it may discolor.
    Kudos to you for going for it and looking well after the ways of your household. Blessings to you and your family.
    PS - if you are pressure canning it's not necessary to boil (sterilize) your jars. The pressure canning process week kill any bacteria present. Save yourself the extra step😁

    • @beccanlevisalaska

      That is great info, thank you! Not sterilizing saved me so much hassle and I need to remember to add the canning salt to my list.

    Water in the pressure canner should only be a couple inches deep. Get a ball canning book when you go to town

      Presto pressure canner instructions say 3 quarts or three inches. I am not sure what you instruction book says but I think you might want to check your instructions

      I figured out what I did wrong here! I had read in my instruction book to put water to the lowest marker in the canner. Well, I thought the one like halfway up was the lowest marker because the one a few inches high is discolored. Now I know, thank you!!

    Here in Alaska fat or tallow is great, I turn all mine into burger when I get my moose, you can use some for Dog Food but it’s a very usable in your burger,

    Get some paper and keep a running list of things you HAVE completed. When you start getting overwhelmed, look at the list, and it will help give you perspective. Realize that pregnancy hormones will mess with you big time. You’re doing great!

    Becca don’t give the dogs to much fat at the one time p,we did and had to take it to the vet it had to stay and be put on a drip.this cost us a lot of money. Learn by our mistakes.
