Praying your family UP, Heather!

Hearing your preschooler singing in the background made me so happy, and miss my preschooler grandson :)

So heartbroken for you and your family😢 Helping by sharing your wonderful videos. 🙏🙏🙏 Heal up well.

So I usually pour all of my jelly into a pitcher so I can pour all of my jars at the same time. It’s sooooo much easier than ladeling and a lot less messier. You’re such a doll! Thank you for sharing! Lovely video!

Oh my gosh. What adorable littles. Thinking of your sweet family.

I just found your video 1week ago and I've already made 1 batch of apple and 1 batch of cherry jelly using your recipe. I usually make jams using fresh and frozen fruit but this method is the absolute easiest and quickest method to delicious homemade jellies! Anyone can do this. Thank you so much. Also made 2 batches of the Welch's grape jelly from your grape jelly video.👍🏾

You make it look so easy Heather! I will be making this why buy store bought jelly anymore... Now you just rest heal and get better... we will wait for your new ideas.

I've made 3 different Juicy Juice jellies since I watched your video. I'm going to try (100% juice and no added sugar, of course) V8 strawberry/Banana and then V8 Pomegranate/Blueberry. Since I live alone I make 6 to 8 jars, keep one and give the rest away. Having a blast.

Watching for your family. You are in our prayers.

Thank you so much for this.I have all ways done this with the fruit.All ways the hard way.I have been doing some canning.Canned all my life.Been real sick with Cancer,so have not been able.But i am going to make jelly tomorrow. O,and i beat Cancer for the 2nd time.

I'm going to try this. And sorry I'm not going to spread the word. I want people to think I went through a long difficult process.Lol

I used this recipe twice to make apple jelly!!! Everyone who has tried it has raved about it. I just made pineapple juice (I used frozen and made it) and used this recipe to make pineapple jelly!!! I’m waiting on my cans to seal right now. I am planning to make up some grape jelly, and per my daughters request fruit punch jelly!!! I am enjoying making jelly so much!!! So glad I found this video!!!

This video melts my heart. Taking a journey back in time and seeing your precious babies. ❤

This looks totally doable! I always thought of canning as something you had to do with your own homegrown stuff. I don’t know why. Can’t wait to give this a try.

I know it's been over 4 yrs since you posted this, but I just now found it. I canned veggies and such over 40 yrs ago, but haven't done any since. I just finished my second batch of jelly using your recipe. It was so good and so easy. Thank you for renewing my love of homemade jelly!

My husband Rick and I made your jelly for the very first time and it came out excellent! We are new to canning and you were right this recipe was easy. Thank you for taking the time to show us newbies your wonderful recipes! God bless you and your wonderful family.

God bless The Kneady Homesteader

Made 8 jars of perfect apple jelly using unsweetened Apple juice!! Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm so happy I found you. I'm a total city girl that loves country way's of living. Wanted to make something fun & easy for Christmas gifts this year. Now I'm a crazy jelly makin makin nut!!! My husband is still alive, after sampling my jellies so far!!! Lol 😄 Thank you so much!! Its so fun and simple!!!! And yes, your little girl is darling!!!! ❤

I’m a newbie and been looking for something easy to be my “first”. I FOUND IT!! I’m going to get everything I need and make it one day while hubby is at work. Won’t he be surprised? 😁

I just found your video today. Someone gave me 3 huge jugs of apple juice. I wanted to make apple jelly, but also different takes on it. After watching your video I feel like I can. Thanks for the tutorial.

I very rarely comment on videos but I gotta say, you have such a beautiful personality and are so positive and encouraging that I am really glad I saw this video as I am toying with the idea of canning my own homemade jams and jellies for the first time. Based on what I saw here, I am going to give it a try. I really gotta give you credit, you got you hands full with little ones and even a newborn and still have time to make these preserves and film as well! Bravo! By the way, your son and the baby are beautiful! Thanks again for an encouraging and informative demonstration.

Praying you and your family UP, Heather! Thank you for what you do! :)

I am so inspired by you. I've decided to make 12 different kinds and give all my kids each 12 jars of jelly. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for taking the time to teach us.

This was a great lesson, I thought the flow was great. No wasted steps and a happy kid with a sandwich. ❤

Us newbie's definitely appreciate it! 🤗 Love this step by step instructions. I'm such a visual learner.

LOVE THAT YOU TAKE THE TIME TO SHOW AND EXPLAIN AS YOU GO AND WE BEGINNERS GET TO SEE HOW IT IS DONE RIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH HEATHER

I was pressure canning some meat while watching this video. When your timer went off I looked at mine. Then I had a good laugh.

I'm very inspired and actually think I can do this. A friend offered to give me their canning supplies so I'm going to try!

Healing prayers! ♥️🙏👍🇺🇸🤓

Little ones are sooo adorable! Love how ur so down to earth and tell us how to do things in a easy to understand way!!!

💟 I really cannot thank you enough for sticking with me through this whole process. You did with the grape jelly too.. 💟 lll probably bring you on the next flavor I choose too. my security blanket 💟

I love your recipes and the fact that you are still being a great mother while you dedicate your time to your viewers as well.., thank you so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR TIME WITH ALL OF US

No way! I didn't know you could do that with any juices!! Omg now I'm excited!! Adding this to my list!!

Heather, I made very low sugar jam with the low sugar pectin & only 1/2 cup of sugar with 10 cups of juice. I have used different juices. One flavor was pomagranite (sp) plum juice & it tasted very good. I gave jelly to coworkers for Christmas gifts & this was one of the favorites. You are correct that this is SO easy. Vuda

Thank you. You're the best Still praying for you and the children 🙏 ❤ Blessings, julie

She's a absolutely precious and so beautiful!! You did good Mama. 🤗

I apologize if I have any typos. Here is the recipe: Canning for Newbies: Easy Peach Apple Jelly made from Bottled Juice By The Kneady Homesteader Makes 8 half pints Ingredients and equipment: 5 cups of juice - Use any flavor of juice as long as it is 100% juice - no sugar added 7 cups of sugar divided 8 Tbsp. Pectin (Ball) & a little extra for good luck (about a tsp.) 1 Tbsp. butter (optional but it will help stop heavy foaming) Set aside a ramekin filled with vinegar along with a couple of napkins or paper towels A heavy bottom pot deep enough so that the hot jelly will not boil over or splatter because it will be hot Long spatula Whisk Timer Directions: (preset the timer to 1 minute and set it aside) Place a couple of spoons in the freezer. Really clean your work area and place a clean towel over your work-space. Fill your canner following the manufacturer’s directions. Have your utensils and anything that will touch the jelly in the canner filled with water and boil for 10 minutes. Remove the utensils and place them on a clean towel in your work area leaving your jars in the canner simmering until you need them. Have 1 or 2 extra half pint jars in the canner even though the recipe should only make 8 half pints (just in case you need them should you find a damaged rim or somehow contaminate a jar). If you have hard water pour some white vinegar in the canner to stop calcium forming on the jars and lids. You can use the left-over vinegar from cleaning the rims of the jars. (Ball recommends ¼ cup) Have the lids and bands in warm water (have 1 or 2 extras just in case you need them). Organize your work area. Have a designated area set up to place the processed jars for 12-24 hours away from any drafts. Again, on a clean towel. Have hot soapy water ready in your sink to soak the used items in for cleaning. When you are ready to start making the jelly: Pour the juice into your pot. In a bowl add ¼ cup of sugar and the pectin. Mix well and add the mixture to the juice. (Use the rubber spatula so you get every bit of the pectin into the pot). Mix until dissolved in your juice over medium high heat stirring constantly. Bring to a hard boil (until you can’t stir the bubbles away) and add remaining 6 ¾ cups of sugar slowly to the boiling mixture. Add butter (optional but recommended) Stir using a whisk until sugar is dissolved then switch back to the rubber spatula. Bring back to a rolling boil that you can’t stir down. Set off the 1-minute timer and keep stirring. Turn off the heat but keep stirring until it stops boiling. (Continue stirring for a minute or so). You can do the spoon test if you wish and that is to use a cold spoon, dip it in the jelly and see if it is jelling. Start filling up the jars. Have 2 jars from the canner on the work area so you have a place to put the funnel while cleaning the rim of the filled jar. Fill the jar leaving a ¼ inch head space. Clean the rim really well with the vinegar. Place a lid on top of the jar, place the ring on the jar and turn it to finger tight. Place the filled jar back in the canner and bring out another one. Repeat until there is no jelly left. Bring your canner up to a rolling boil and set your timer for 10 minutes (which is for an altitude of 0-1000 feet - adjust the time for your altitude) When done turn off the heat and let the canner settle down for five minutes, remove the lid away from you and remove the jars straight up and place them in the designated area to keep them undisturbed for 12-24 hours and away from any drafts. When this time is up, remove the rings and check the lids to make sure they have sealed. Wash the jars to remove any sticky jelly, label them with the date and put them away. Tips: Have a Ball Jar Holder, towel or a pot holder in one hand while using the jar lifter in your other hand to remove the jars from the canner and also to hold the jar while turning the rings as the jar will be very hot. It is now recommended that you not tilt your jars when removing them from the canner.

Havnt canned anything yet but this looks like a good starter recipe

I came for the jelly, the baby was an unexpected bonus! So lovely!

woo hoo! Made apple jelly in pint jars (I have a recipe for apple jelly chicken) It worked!!! MANY Thanks!!!!

Thank you for sharing not just your ideas, but the kids reactions. Thank for the new ideas. I grew up with my grandparents garden and in their summer kitchen. I knew canning was not hard, but had never been hands on with the actual canning part until I was married with kids. My husband and I grow our own hot peppers and make pepper jelly, and salsa. When I have a good year with cucumbers we make pickles. Thank you for opening my eyes to greater possibilities for all my empty jars. Thank you! Yes, I have the book you recommended downloaded, a canning pressure cooker on a wish list, and most all other supplies on hand. Thank you, oh and you can thank Kip with his BA rice cooking videos for name dropping.

I just made my first batch. First time canning and love it!

Omgosh he’s adorable!

Wish I could find this. I have looked every where!

I have a bone to pick with you... Just kidding! I spent all day Saturday canning 7 types of jelly! Two batches of each. Thank you so very much!!!💖

Came across your videos, absolutely love so far!!

Watching your cooking and canning videos is so soothing and relaxing for me. My husband came in and asked what I was watching and I went into this whole spiel about you and your family and how much fun it is to watch you in your kitchen.

I’m going to try this today. Will comment tomorrow on my outcome.

Oh that baby is so precious! And the toddler is just adorable with that huge smile and blonde hair. I had no idea that Juicy Juice even had Apple Peach that looks amazing.

Jelly from 100% fruit juice...who knew!?🤷🏻‍♀️ This is definitely getting added to my recipes!!👍👍🤗

Great teamwork. The presentation left no room for questions!

Jelly from botteled juice! Such a great idea!

The method of making jelly has changed so much since I was a boy, about the age of your son. Your video is very interesting and informative. Thank you so much for sharing. Father Claire thinks you are great!

What a sweet taste tester!!! ❤️❤️💙💙

Loved watching this Video Heather, I shall definitely be having a go at this Jelly.

Oh my goodness!!!! The sounds Mina and Mason made were soooo adorable their voices were so teeny tiny AWE!!!!!! Oh yea the jam looked awesome too lol 🤗💙

I just love your videos. They are so friendly and relaxed, they make me feel like I'm there in your kitchen with you. Seeing the little ones are an added bonus as it brings me back to the time when my little kids were still little. 8-) Thanks for sharing a part of your life.

You are such a good canning teacher

He is adorable!,

Miss Mina in her lady bug pajama's is beyond precious. Seriously though, I had no idea you could do this with fruit juice. I need to go and scout out my juice options.

Thank you, love the video. I love canning its like therapeutic ❤️ my mom and her mom canned everything they could. I only ever made jelly , jam and bread n butter and sweet pickles. I just love it, thanks for sharing and you have a beautiful baby❤️ God bless you and your family🙏

This sounds pretty easy I have never made jelly, I can understand why a beginner would be able to make this. Thank you so much.

Wow! I WISH I would’ve this 40 years ago. In 1980 I helped my grandma make peach jam from farm fresh peaches. It sounds lovely. It’s not! I had peach fuzz everywhere and I mean everywhere. It was gross, disgusting and uncomfortably itchy. After not eating peach jam for almost 40 years I finally broke down in 2019 and bought a jar. 😂🤣😆🙄 This I may actually try. TYVM. I’m praying for you and your family. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Whenever I get my own house I would love to stock up and can everything at home.

Thank you for showing how to make jelly from juice! I never heard of that before! I'd be interested in seeing how you make the merenchino cherry jelly.

Thank you. Can't wait to try this version. Beautiful children.
