I have learned so much from you! While watching one of your videos you said someone called you uneducated and you agreed because you only attended school to 8th grade. I completely disagree!! I attended college and was an A student throughout college but I didn’t know half of what you do about many subjects. Being “educated” doesn’t make a person Smart!! I just love you and your family and appreciate your teachings so much!
I have been saying that forever...picture it.....I'm painting a loooong hallway in a building and a group a business men approach. One guy, while trying to pass me, brushes the wall with his shoulder and gets paint on hims suit. Blames me for not having a WET PAINT sign on the wall... I say to him "WET PAINT sign is for after I am gone,, when you may not be aware of fresh paint... I am PAINTING the WALL. DUH! Geez, education is no guarantee that you are smart!!" He had nothing else to say. lol
Your parenting skills are amazing. I never see you get upset, you are so patient ❤️❤️❤️ I think I have watched everyone of your videos and love them all. I was raised in foster homes from 6 grade on, my last home she did a lot of homemade (not as much as you) such a good cook. (I even called her mom). Always hold your head high!!!
Your my favorite homesteader. You’re so real. I can tell that your lifestyle has been your way of life. That’s why I like it so much because I grew up much the same way. I grew up milking cows raising hogs for meat. My dad actually free ranged his hogs and would gather them at certain times of the year. Anyway I love your channel. And I have shared it with so many people. Thank you!
Hi from England. 🏴 I love watching your videos especially canning. There’s not many of us that do canning especially the way Americans and Canadians do it mainly because we do not have the same time of canners you have. We have pressure cookers which is similar to your canners with a pressure weight on top. We do however preserve things in jars but differently from you, for instance if we need to preserve pickles like onions, beetroot, yellow pickle called Piccalilli etc we cook the ingredients if needed then make the sauce which contains pickling spices and vinegar salt etc. these do not need water bath canning because the acid in the vinegar stops bacteria from growing. This applies to sweet things like jams jellies and marmalade also fruit although not grown in or just laying on the earth because the sugar you use in the syrup also stops bacteria growing although I will admit my jars are scorching hot the syrup is still at a slight boil as I can, if I’m still wary I water can the fruit. Hope you like looking at another side of preserving our harvests I’m thinking we are very similar to the way your Mennonite folk do things.
This is living the life. You must feel so blessed. We have a crop of more cabbage than our neighbor and we can eat. I thought I’d give canning some a try. I love this method you’ve shared. So glad to have found you.
You can put a kitchen towel in the bottom of your WB canner to protect the glass from the hot bottom. Really enjoyed your video's. Thank you for a great recipe.
I absolutely love that shredder. I also own a Bosch Universal mixer and they make a slicer/shredder accessory for that machine. I know you said you didn't need another machine on your counter but the accessory works with the mixer you already own. So you wouldn't need to have another machine sitting on your counter. A day in your shoes wears me out just watching let alone having the energy you do.
I have been canning for about 4 years I thought the water had to be 1 to 2 inches above the jar lids for water bath canning the coleslaw looks wonderful
She's said in a previous video that this is how the Mennonite community cans and she continues that practice. She is aware of current canning policies but has chosen to continue the Mennonite practice.
Oh this is a recipe we will try. My mom made kraut and my husband now makes his own in a quart. Just cabbage and salt. We don’t can it just eat it. I love this color of slaw! My mom also had a Cole slaw freezer recipe
Greetings from North Dakota! I am still just so tickled to have found your channel and have another homesteader in zone 4. It has really blessed me! I enjoyed watching you can the coleslaw. I ferment it, but I have never tried canning it. I am going to have to give it a go this year!! I will share it with my viewers too. Thanks so much. I am really enjoying watching your family! ❤❤
I love cabbage and am definitely going to make this. Thank you for the recipe and for the idea on how to store rings which I desperately needed. I am so glad I found your RUclips channel its a blessing.
Those jars are so beautiful! I love the rotation of help you get from the littles. ❤ i also appreciate that you showed us what you do with the final product. You have a great channel.
I love watching your children jump in and help, also love watching them play. Family, work, play all wrapped in Love grows a good human. God Bless you all.
We just opened a jar of your coleslaw recipe I canned in October. It is so good. We usually have creamy slaw but when we tasted this, we ate it right out of the jar. So I just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe & I'm so happy I made it! Good bye creamy slaw, HELLO new favorite!
I watched another video and she said if you occasionally want the creamy coleslaw, just rinse it, let dry before adding the creamy dressing. I haven't tried it yet but sounds reasonable to me. Love Options 😊
I am new to your channel. I found out about you from Jessica at Three Rivers Homestead. I really like your sweet nature. I love seeing the boys running around being boys. I must say your farm is beautiful ❤️. I look forward to watching many more videos. I look forward to seeing your barn/shop when it is completed.
I keep my rings on bungee cords stretched across my canning shelves. Surprisingly, they don’t all fling off when I release the end to remove what I need…lol
Girl! You need a Bosch slicer/shredder attachment! Have been binge watching your channel for two weeks, I can’t get enough! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with me!
I’m sorry this is probably a silly question but how much sugar do you use to how much vinegar ? And do you use apple cider vinegar or white vinegar? Thank you
This is way late, but she was the written recipe in the description box. She specifies 1 cup vinegar to 1.5 cups sugar. She doesn’t specify white or apple cider vinegar but looking at how clear it is, I would guess white. But you could try apple cider vinegar. That could taste good!
Hello, just curious, other recipes puts some water in the brine and yours dont have any.. Will that make it more crispy? Will this brine be very strong flavorful and vinagary or just well balanced out and not water down the flavors ?? Please would like your opinion and thoughts, if you could. Do you also have videos on making fermented sauerkraut, and also for making canned sauerkraut? If you could please let us know. 🎉 ❤ 😊 We are from Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin USA. PS. Love your down home making it real channel, LOVE IT!!! ❤ 🎉 🎉 😊 😊 Thank you for your time and teaching support you have a BLESSED GIFT.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I made a batch of this slaw about two weeks ago. I’m happy to say we loved the slaw. Went to the store yesterday and now I’m making a double batch of this slaw. Our whole family loves this recipe. Thank you, Ruth!! I’m really enjoying your channel.
LOL... "I just want to slam it (the fresh picked cabbage) on the ground" ! My mom had one of those table top hand cranked shredders - another item from her kitchen that I wish I had kept and not donated it to GoodWill : ( This recipe and the canning looks easy to do. Thank you for this video!
I love pickled cabbage! Ate it for the first time last year. I hope to make more soon. I'll have to try your recipe, looks so good! You could staple some netting on the wooden shelf that's open in the back, that way it would have a little give but hold the jars too. I would staple each section separately for more strength.
I think you are a wonderful mom. And it’s great how you take time teaching your son. He will really appreciate that when he gets older. That cabbage slaw looked delicious!
I've been thinking about your other video, the one about tips and tricks for Mennonite canning, specifically about not covering your jars with water and how "modern" canning guidelines state that you should. However, "modern" canning guidelines don't have any problem with steam canning anything that you can water bath can and for the same time. So, when you think about that, why would you have to cover your jars? They certainly are not covered when you steam can.
I've thought about these different methods too, but with the steam canning, there is big lid over the pan the jars sit in so that the steam can't escape.
@@truthseeker3967 but I think she had the water both pot covered as she processed them. Wouldn’t that have the same effect? Hmmm, I’ll have to go back and recheck the video now to be sure… 🤔 Yeah, she covered the pot during the water bath processing time.
Thank you , I enjoy leaning from you. You make it look comfortable for me to give canning a go and not be so Timid too do , I'm going to make this and only hope to have it come out just as good 😊
Oh I just adore your channel and your sweet family, my daughter's and I are in the cross hairs of learning to wear more dresses as that's what we're fill called to do and in doing so I just happen to come across your channel looking for wholesome things. By the way do you have a link to a similar shredder as yours? God Bless 😊
What a joy it will be to watch these little boys grow up together. They are storing all of this knowledge up and they don’t even know it. Your daughter will be a wonderful homemaker someday. These boys will expect this of their wives. You have a lot of teaching in the years to come! 🙏🙏🏡
I am so tickled by the way you and your children interact. Seeing the “Little Boys” and how they help you so much is wonderful. I remember putting on my apron and putting my grandsons in their aprons so they could help me when I was cooking, mostly baking. They would sit on my lap while I was sitting at my embroidery sewing machine and let them push the buttons. They would look up at me and say “Now?” They were so excited to help me push buttons and slide the fabric under the presser foot. It was so wonderful! God was moving thru me even tho I was at that time practicing the worship of God, the Father. It has taken me time but now the boys are almost 18, 16, 13, 8, and 7. All boys plus three step-granddaughters that have no steps between me and them. My 4 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with ALL LEUKEMIA just 3 weeks ago. I am asking your followers to please pray for Merryn. She and the family are struggling at this time. We need all the support we can get thru God and ask for a total healing of this beautiful little girl. She has a big sister, 8 years old and they are very close. This is hard on Eleanor so I ask you to pray for her also. I pray that God will hear our prayers and thank you in advance for your kindness. We have not met but I still consider you a good friend, like so many others who watch you. May God Bless you and your family with good health and happiness.
I just made this today. Saved some back and. made coleslaw as well to go with the baked beans recipe you gave (canned them two weeks ago). Both were a hit and hubby came back for seconds! Thanks for your uncomplicated instructions!
This was our first year growing cabbage and while it wasn't a great crop, we've been loving coleslaw and are planning a fall crop. I'm excited to try this recipe!!
Hi Mrs Zimmerman! I usually make chow chow from my cabbage, but I’m going to try this recipe. Looks so good, I enjoy pickled veggies. Thank you so much and hope you and your precious family have a blessed evening!
I’m coming back here to find the recipe 1 year since you posted it, my hubby has asked me all year to make sure I can lots more of this Pepper Cabbage this summer! ❤️
We get the most beautiful, local heads of cabbage. We love sauerkraut and slaws so this pickled recipe sounds like one we'd love to try. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ruthann! Since finding you a few weeks ago I now find that I must have my “daily fix” of the Zimmerman’s😅. Love watching and learning from you, wish I was your neighbor…….
I love your videos! Life is real at your house. It's the first time I've seen anyone store their rings like I do, on wire coat hangers. I have one for regular and one for wide mouth. Thank you!
I got a Breville food processor & I am amazed each time I use it. It would chop up 4 heads of cabbage in 30 seconds. Wonderful for scalloped pitatoesn french fries, cole slaw. I never had this until 6 yrs ago. I wondered how I lived without it.
I’m getting really frustrated with all of this cabbage because I recipe from the ball said to salt cabbage for 24 hours, friends and then drive for six hours. This is getting ridiculous. I hope it was ok to leave out of fridge as This Is what I had to do for space issues.,I left it salted in collider overnight.,will this be OK?
What percentage is the vinegar or does it matter? I 've seen videos of 9% vinegar for 1 tbsp per jar, but if 5% vinegar, then 2 tbsp per jar -they (Croatian video) added the vinegar jar by jar instead of pre-made brine mixture - Can you leave the sugar out? Is salt or sugar necessary for safety and substitable? Sorry for all the questions. I've never pickled before , just ferment with salt- no processing, but want to do some pickling this summer, Lord willing, and am doing some pre-planning.
I'm wondering if the sugar content could be reduced in the recipe, or if I could replace it with honey? Just wondering if that would affect preservation? Or if the vinegar is doing most of it?
Thank you Ruth. Im going to try making some this year. Question, i noticed you remove the jar rims. WHY?😮 Doesn't that spoil the content? Greatings from Canada
My grandmother made and canned this every year. We finally ate the last one after she passed. I really should just make a couple jars for me. Thanks for sharing this.
Do you use canning salt only for you canning. Love you and your family very much. I lived in Wayne County Ohio. Loved Holmes County where you grew up. Thank you for your lovely inspirational videos. Sue
I’m getting really frustrated with all of this cabbage because I recipe from the ball said to salt cabbage for 24 hours, friends and then drive for six hours. This is getting ridiculous.
Ruthann I love your videos! I would like to make this. I don’t like my coleslaw sweet. Is this very sweet? When making the brine can I reduce the sugar?
I saw what looks like a CampChef propane cook stove under your water bath canner. They are always out of stock, but I'm inspired to keep trying to purchase. Ruthann, do you put you pressure canner on the CampChef outside?
Wss your brine room temperature when you added to cabbage? Also, It looks like you started the canning process with room/well water temperature, then brought to a boil. Is this right?,
I love your videos. I have made this slaw the last two years. We love it. If I wanted to can quart jars, how long would I need to process them in the water bath?
I will definitely try this, never heard of it but have been wondering how to preserve cabbage other than sourcrout. I guess it tastes pretty strong of vinegar?
Thank you so much for this recipe!! I know what I will be doing today! I am curious why you add the water to just below the rings. I have always read to cover the jars with water.
Thats how most Amish & Mennonites do their waterbathing. Ruth & her husband used to be Old Order Mennonite so she just learned from her mum & never stopped doing it that way (in an earlier video she explains how she never even knew people covered the jars all the way until someone on Instagram mentioned it)
It’s more of a steam canning method. The Europeans and middle easterners have been doing this method for hundreds of years. In fact you only need to do it half way up if your canner is well covered.
I have learned so much from you!
While watching one of your videos you said someone called you uneducated and you agreed because you only attended school to 8th grade.
I completely disagree!! I attended college and was an A student throughout college but I didn’t know half of what you do about many subjects. Being “educated” doesn’t make a person Smart!!

And did you use any of the red cabbage? I’m wondering if one green and one red would make two batches.

I steam can my pickled vegtables . Timing is this same as water bath but less water and not as heavy to work with .

I just made this today. Saved some back and. made coleslaw as well to go with the baked beans recipe you gave (canned them two weeks ago). Both were a hit and hubby came back for seconds! Thanks for your uncomplicated instructions!
Can you use apple cider vinegar?
❤awesome 👍 my kitchen is small also ! I would love one just like yours
❤❤❤ 🕊️love to rewatch any time an older video pop's up😊
Great on a good hot dog😊
Oooooh!!! That sounds amazing!
This was our first year growing cabbage and while it wasn't a great crop, we've been loving coleslaw and are planning a fall crop. I'm excited to try this recipe!!
My mom had one of those vintage food processor things. I loved using it when I helped her, in the ‘70’s.
I'm obsessed with your son sharing your passion and teaching him how to be self sufficient!!
Hi Mrs Zimmerman! I usually make chow chow from my cabbage, but I’m going to try this recipe. Looks so good, I enjoy pickled veggies. Thank you so much and hope you and your precious family have a blessed evening!
I absolutely love this salad and am going to add to my to-do list for winter
Canned coleslaw...what??? Oh I have to try this!! Thanks Ruth.
Thank you for the good recipes! I’m already hungry! I’ll use it!
Oh boy, the one you made today is beautiful with that purple cabbage
My mother had a gadget like that and it prepared the vegetables better than my electric processor
Just a tip, if you want to you can just lay a folded towel on the bottom of your canner to hold the jars up a bit and cushion them.
I’m coming back here to find the recipe 1 year since you posted it, my hubby has asked me all year to make sure I can lots more of this Pepper Cabbage this summer! ❤️

Such adorable helpers! Thanks for the recipe, I'm excited to try it.
I got a Breville food processor & I am amazed each time I use it. It would chop up 4 heads of cabbage in 30 seconds. Wonderful for scalloped pitatoesn french fries, cole slaw. I never had this until 6 yrs ago. I wondered how I lived without it.
I found a similar shredder called a Westmark rotary grater “Schnitzel Mouli”😊
I’m getting really frustrated with all of this cabbage because I recipe from the ball said to salt cabbage for 24 hours, friends and then drive for six hours. This is getting ridiculous.

Do you use canning salt only for you canning. Love you and your family very much. I lived in Wayne County Ohio. Loved Holmes County where you grew up. Thank you for your lovely inspirational videos. Sue
QUESTION: Do you just eat it like that, right out of the jar? Or do you rinse brine off first? Thank you so much for sharing!
I’m getting really frustrated with all of this cabbage because I recipe from the ball said to salt cabbage for 24 hours, friends and then drive for six hours. This is getting ridiculous.
Ruthann I love your videos! I would like to make this. I don’t like my coleslaw sweet. Is this very sweet? When making the brine can I reduce the sugar?
I saw what looks like a CampChef propane cook stove under your water bath canner. They are always out of stock, but I'm inspired to keep trying to purchase. Ruthann, do you put you pressure canner on the CampChef outside?
🙀you didn’t cover with water by an inch?? Wow. It’s hard when you’re cooking with short and tall jars. Are forjars American made
Wss your brine room temperature when you added to cabbage? Also, It looks like you started the canning process with room/well water temperature, then brought to a boil. Is this right?,
Wow, just what i was looking for! I must have missed the brine, vinegar and sugar measurement, looking forward to trying this soon😊
It's above the transcript , tap on "more" under video then tap "more" again for recipe.
I,didn't see the amount t of vinegar and sugar. I don't believe she said.
I like your enthusiastic helper! I'm sure he'll be proud of his work and the great results!
Nice recipe thanks for sharing. The red cabbage looks pretty in the jars
What is the recipe for the vinegar and sugar mixture? I love your videos. Thank you
I Love how your boys help you with chores. You have a precious family.
Think there's a wood making project. Make a broad to fit a pot and fasten to machine. Put a clear on board so it doesn't slide hard on pot.
I love your videos. I have made this slaw the last two years. We love it. If I wanted to can quart jars, how long would I need to process them in the water bath?
Do you pressure can or can at all cabbage that’s not kraut or pickled. We like stewed cabbage but I don’t know if it’s safe.
I will definitely try this, never heard of it but have been wondering how to preserve cabbage other than sourcrout. I guess it tastes pretty strong of vinegar?
what great helpers you have
I'm curious why you filled the pot with water just under the rings, instead of an inch over the tops of the jars?
Definitely going to be making this!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Do you think the recipe would still be tasty without the peppers? I can't eat peppers, but it sounds like a handy recipe to have on hand!
I don't use a food processor, i use the attachment for my kitchenaid mixer.
How much vinegar and how much sugar??
The Recipe is in the description
Did you debubble the slaw? I saw a more recent video that said you didn't? Just curious.
Are the 4 Jars different because I thought the water had to be 2 inches over the jars during water bath canning?
Why do you not cover the jars 1 to 2 inches above the lids when water bath canning as called for by all? Celinda
God is Good. ❤ Looks really yummy. Do you know if this will be good without sugar?
I cannot consume sugar. Could I can this using allulose? Thank you!
This looks so good. Can I make this with a lot less sugar or sugar substitute? We aren't eating sugar.
you could always place a tea towel inside the bottom of the canner if needed so the jars do not sit on the bottom
Yay!!! I've been waiting for this 👌
Thank you so much for this recipe!! I know what I will be doing today! I am curious why you add the water to just below the rings. I have always read to cover the jars with water.
Thats how most Amish & Mennonites do their waterbathing. Ruth & her husband used to be Old Order Mennonite so she just learned from her mum & never stopped doing it that way (in an earlier video she explains how she never even knew people covered the jars all the way until someone on Instagram mentioned it)
Thank you!!!
@@luvBrownie22 I was wondering the same…thank you for answering!
It’s more of a steam canning method. The Europeans and middle easterners have been doing this method for hundreds of years. In fact you only need to do it half way up if your canner is well covered.
Why only put water to just below the ring? That's new to me.
Looks delicious! Do you put any water in your brine?
