Hello, just a recommendation for the coleslaw - in Czech Republic we utilise sauer kraut into Zelnacka, which a soup/stew with spicy paprika klobasa / pork. Ingredients include : sauerkraut potatoes smoked pork loin spicy paprika klobasa sour cream bacon white onion red onion garlic extra fine flour salt sugar vinegar crushed caraway seed ground pepper dried marjoram ground sweet pepper hot pepper ground smoked pepper broth water. This video shows the method, but it is in czech. : kzitem.info/news/bejne/xIeYmYiospNyfKA

You definitely need to secure those shelves. You can see them bowing in the middle with the weight of your jars. We have these same style shelves and used 2x4's laid along the underneath of the shelves and screws put through the side slats of the shelving unit into the ends of the boards. This makes the shelves extremely solid! If you lay them along the shelf with the 4 inch side, you won't see the boards sticking out underneath the sides. Get a darker screw and it will blend pretty well with the color of your shelves.

To make a thick tomato sauce run your tomatoes through your squeezo machine. Place a colander over a bowl. Line colander with several layers of cheesecloth. Pour the tomatoes into the colander and leave over night. You will wind up with a very thick tomato puree which does not have to be cooked to death to thicken up. You will also have all the liquid to use as a soup base. You can also use the tomato liquid to thin the puree if necessary.

BECKY!!! FREEZE DRYER TIP! Take your freeze dried tomatoes and blend them to a powder. You can then add a tiny bit of water to make tomato paste, or a little more water to make tomato sauce, or a lot more water to make tomato juice! Its great!!!!! I got really tired putting up tomato sauce AND I just got my freeze dryer so I did batches and batches of sliced tomatoes and then just powdered them! AND the best ever are the orange sun-gold cherry tomatoes. I roast those with a tiny bit of salt, pepper and oregano, then puree them. It tastes just like bisque!

It was a great way to use leftover cranberry sauce (or if you have canned cranberry sauce in your pantry) you could also use a dollop of fig jam or any other kind of jam you have.

Your pantry looks amazing! That’s a lot of work girl, you should be proud of yourself. One thing my mother taught me growing up, always always can as much as you can of a product. Because, like you said this year might be a great year for peppers and next year might not. So harvest as much as you can and preserve as much as you can in that year. Then, if you have two years in a row or your pepper harvest has been amazing you can try the new recipes that you’re always searching for and saving. A couple suggestions, I don’t have the recipe handy, so I can’t tell you exact measurements. However, you’re an experience canner, at this point you’ll figure it out. I used to make a peach salsa that is to die for. It was a peach and tomato-based salsa. I don’t recall if I substituted or I added in the Adobe peppers and sauce in the can. I think I added it in because Im pretty certain I adjusted the vinegar to accommodate it. It is amazing, the flavor, that is added is incredible. I would imagine, adding those peppers to your ketchup recipe this year will add great flavor as well. The only other thing I can suggest to you, is to get a nice, very nice bound notebook. Not a spiral notebook. Something that has a nice cover, thick and is bound. Actually buy several because you need to take these with you to your moms and have her write down her recipes in that book. And she needs to hand write this. She may need to hand write several, depending on how big your family is. Trust me when I say, that this will be treasured in your family. I have two of my grandmothers cookbooks, where she has hand written notes in the margins. There are several handwritten recipes, stuck in the cookbooks. I treasure it! It’s been 30+ years since my grandmother passed away, and I can’t hear her voice in my head anymore. But I have her handwriting and I have her recipes. My mom is in her late 70s, and this is not a bad thing when I say it but the grand daughters are already claiming her cookbooks. And the one that is going to cause the biggest uproar will be her hand written cookbook. grab yourself some of those books as well, and as you get a recipe that you truly love, that would be a staple right in that book. One day, that will be a treasure as well. Write your notes in the margins make a Little Notes about your kids and the food that you’re making. If it’s their favorite, if they hated it, or possibly what was going on in the garden at that time. Maybe it was a bad year maybe the bugs were crazy bad or maybe it was a cooler summer than normal or hotter summer than normal. Put those notes in there you won’t regret it. I picked up my books at Marshall’s-TJ, Maxx and HomeGoods. Happy, Canning, Season!

I'm sure you've already tried it, but to use up the spaghetti sauce that is a little strongly spiced, just make a batch with one jar sauce and one jar plain crushed tomato. The extra herbs will help balance the unseasoned sauce and then you can adjust it only by a bit of salt and anything that may be missing once they're mixed. Normally that might not work for two people, but since you like to make large batches and have leftovers, it should work!

That way you can put the shelves closer together 🙂and use less floor space. I speak from experience.

Hey Becky…love your platform and have been watching for two years. First time commenting. That coleslaw pickle. Use it in a cabbage hamburger soup…we call it “autumn soup.” Or strain it and use it in a sour version of lazyman cabbage rolls. Yum!

You speak my language girl! I bought shelving similar to yours so I could get everything in order and can see what I have in ONE place. Living in a small home it was in nooks and crannies. Now, I feel so organized. I hope you inspire thousands to do what we do, especially in these times.

Once people discover the sheer convenience and affordability of a well built pantry they will love it. It was thought to be a way of life gone by but so functional for our modern lives for both young and older. There are many canning projects that can be done over the winter especially canning deals. I live fairly rural and our food store is a distance away and expensive. Being able to run downstairs and grab everything I need is such a blessing. No fighting the crowds in the stores or running out in bad weather. It makes me sad to see so many tomatoes and apples hanging on the plants at the end of a season not being preserved. You are so right about home made enchilada sauce! No comparison to the store bought. I got sooo many tomatillos this year and processed all of them.

Just an FYI: You will need to peel your potatoes before canning. There are no safe tested recipes for canning potatoes with the skins on. Removing the skins by peeling potatoes reduces the amount of bacteria on the potato.

Hey Becky, just wanted to say how much I enjoy and learn from your videos. I’m in my sixties and have always cooked , brewed and preserved food. I’ve only recently started pressure canning and I’m glad to say it’s growing in popularity here in the UK. We still rely on the knowledge of all you canning friends over the pond, so a big thank you. I must also say how amazing you are looking considering how far you are into your pregnancy. Huge hugs from across the Atlantic. Ros x

In my 60s and just learned to pressure can, even though I always had a moderate interest. Dehydrating and fermenting, too. It is fulfilling, isn't it? I have heard that canning supplies are difficult to source and are expensive in the UK, is that so? Best wishes and God bless from North Carolina, USA. 🙂

@@micheleyates3625 hi Michelle, yes it’s true canning supplies are expensive here. I’m hoping that as popularity grows it will become easier to source what we need. Over here lots of us use lug lidded jars successfully to can, much cheaper and easier to get. You’re right, it’s so satisfying to learn something new in later life. I’ve discovered the joy of making kombucha recently, adding a few frozen cranberries for the second ferment, delicious. Have a lovely Christmas and happy canning. X

Becky I made the same mistake with canned coleslaw... Make Mo Sho Chicken. Drain your jar and rinse your cabbage strain, put into saute pan (oil or butter) add onion, mushrooms ( I use my canned goods) chicken, garlic, ginger and sesame oil or oyster sauce... Sure helps empty those jars! Keep stacking that pantry!!! Right there with you! Love from WA!!!

I just watched Jammerell Stewart can frozen tomatoes. She took the frozen tomatoes out of the freezer, put them in a roaster pan for them to thaw out. The tomato juice comes out of the frozen tomatoes, then you are able to can-(I mean bottle in mason jars) the tomato juice. No effort needed to get the tomato juice out of the tomatoes. Jammerell Stewart is who did the tomato canning that I watched recently.

I never made my own broth till recently and honestly it is soooo much better than anything I have ever bought in the store. When I make my own I do it with whole chickens because I shread the meat and use it in other recipes and when you do that you also get a layer of rendered fat that floats to the top and hardens which is litterally sooo good to cook with and adds soooo much flavor to dishes.

Good video for explains how you store and deciding how to put up your foods ie a bumper crop as opposed to having to buy from a local farmer. I think you've given those the permission to release feeling as if they have to grow everything and feel like a failure if the crop doesn't do well.

Do consider carefully aligning a strip of green painters tape, blue painters tape, or white waterproof medical rape a.omg the outer edge of your shelves. Then use a pen to label your jars' shelf space. It will be very useful when someone runs down stairs to grab something for you; and likely yourself when pulled too many directions at once. Optionallym use a pen that can be removed such as grease pencil or white board marker.
