@@carmendoyle9786 the jars are not cold they are hot :) the peaches are room temp and the syrup is simmering at 180 as well so when putting in the canner there is not temp shock because everything is hot still
Keep up the good work guys. Need to protect your investments. There will be some big humps in the road ahead, but that's how we learn about farm life or simply life in general. Love the coop btw.
Hello! Thanks for your video. Your process is very similar to the way my mother and I canned many years ago in the 80s, so I enjoyed your simplistic steps and information. Question: My neighbor asked me to can some peaches from his peach tree; they are somewhat bruised/ parts are now black, so I know I will need to cut away the bad part of each peach. Do I cut away the bruised part before blanching/sweating to remove the skins? Any advice will be helpful, as I don't have a canning group who can answer such questions. Thanks!
@@bobbilung13 I would cut first then blanch them. That way your not contaminated anything but I really don’t think it matter either way because you are processing the “good” part of the peaches only. But I like to keep it as easy as possible and it is easier for me to cut them with the peel on then blanch and peel :)
Such a good video. Love how you are very concise and explain things very carefully. BTW, I have that same shirt from Amazon lol love it. That's my office too.
Cold peaches in hot jars is asking for thermal shock. Put the jars on a towel, fill with peaches, fill with syrup. Wipe rims. Put lids and rings on, finger tighten. Put in cool water bath canner. Ensure the water is over top of jars by an inch. Process for time recommended after it reaches a boil. Remove and place on towel. Allow to cool remove rings.
@@badgirl44654 yep this is how I did it. Except the peaches were not cold they were room temp so the shock isn’t there. I filled with hot syrup to match the hot jars then placed in the water bath canner. Always put hot jars on a towel for sure or they can burst on the counter
You need more compost, peat moss, and gypsum in your soil for deep rooting =bigger carrots 🥕 they also grow well in cool weather before winter when the ground stays moist and soft naturally. Happy gardening
i believe patience and routine is key. My forst harvest of carrots was a good yield last year. This year i don't know yet. Weeds this year have been bad, that and just everything in the garden hasn't done well. But I'll be harvesting of what I've got growing here in a couple days.
Just did some raw pack peaches 3 days ago in very light syrup and they turned out great! Also did some peach preserves too. We have great peaches here in SC!! Subbed!!

I was looking exactly for this ! I hate all the canning with cups and cups of sugar!!! What's the point of eating fruits and homemade recipes if they're drenched in sugar... Thank you so so much!
One thing I learned this year is that winter squash (vs summer squash) you don't plant/pick in the winter...they're planted in the SUMMER but can be STORED (after being picked lol) during cold months.
My husband convinced me we should buy the land so he doesn't have to go away to deer camp and can take the kids out with him more often. I never thought I would be homesteading but here I am and LOVING it!
