Food Storage// Storing Food From My Haul 

YAY! I didn't know you were a tea lover!!!! me, too!

Awesome

I like canning mine in onion soup mix, it really gives the potatoes a great flavor.

Love your tea station!

thank you

I used the PUR pint jars. They are taller than the ball jars. They will mess up my space. They are pretty but not for me. I’ll use them for dehydrated stuff.

Last week I opened 2 qts of potatoes that I canned a few years back. Made soup with some and put butter and cheese on some. My husband loved it. I love canning potatoes.

Thank you👍👍👍👍

Thanks good tip on the putting beans and rice in the small bags I'm 67 so I definitely can't lug around a 5 gallon bucket. Seeing how different people store things is different at their ages.

Those bucket liners are a great idea. Didn’t know there was a such a thing.

Great job !

I normally bring my container to bucket and fill it up decreasing number of ziplock bags required. Your way does give another layer of bug protection. Recently found & Loving your channel. Thanks for sharing.

My mom had those same Tupperware canisters, but hers were brown. I would love to can potatoes, but my husband doesn't like the texture.

Thank you so much for sharing I really enjoy watching your videos they're so informative and I learn a lot

Cute top!

Great information thanks

Thank you👏👏👏👏👍👏

Pickle buckets are usually available from McDonald's or Popeyes

Always enjoy your channel. Going to look at bucket liners? Thanks

Great video. Thank you. I watch your videos often but don't always have time to comment.

Jeni, how much of the chicken bouillon powder are you putting into your quart jars? My goal for this winter is to clean up my sewing/craft room as it has become a junk room and overall whatever room. I am even storing my potatoes from the garden on the floor in flat boxes, or I should say I was until I discovered my dog was eating them in the middle of the night, so I moved them up to my crafting table. Needless to say, there isn't much room for crafting currently, but I am desperate to change that. I am not sure where I am going to move my crafting because my husband is moving our pantry into my craft room (it is just off the kitchen) as we just had to throw away some of our canned items in the basement due to humidity this past summer. It is a God-awful sight what a damp basement can do to your beautiful canned products. Please Lord, I need a bigger house.! I just thought I would give you a really good tip, watch "The Kneady Homesteader's" video on how to make your own brown sugar with molasses & pure cane sugar, it has saved me so much money. Brown sugar is something we use a lot here so anytime I can save a little bit I do. Fantastic video, I learned so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Blessings to you always. ~SuzyJC-in-Pataskala, Ohio/USA_10.25.2021~

Lots of work putting up food in quantity but definitely worth it . I must check out the sewing videos and crafts just in the throws of gathering and preserving , garden is to bed so might slow down ,lol

Thank you for teaching us how to run our kitchens in real life. It's so meaningful in today's world. Blessings😃

Would be interested in knowing where you get your bucket liners. Lots of good information here, thanks!

I absolutely love your musical choices on your videos :D such a nice difference from the music a lot of other canning & recipe vloggers use.

I LOVE the idea of canning potatoes with chicken broth! I'm totally going to have to try that! When you add the powdered bullion, do you process for the regular time for the potato pints/quarts canned with water, or do you have to add extra time? Thank you for sharing all of your storage ideas with us!

A couple years ago I took my old rusty canning rings and made a garland out of it. I ripped strips of gingham fabric to tie each ring to each other. I alternated with raffia. Looks super cute.

The tea tower is very cute and I love the seasonal decorations too!

Greetings from East Texas! Love the look of your dehydrated potatoes! I store my flour, rice, beans etc in smaller manageable quantities. Just makes good sense

Girl, you need to get yourself a Food Saver!🙃 Jinne at Homestead Corner has a video on vacuum sealing flour (and other dry ingredients) using brown paper bags. I have some 1,3 and 5 cup portions. I need to get some smaller totes to store them. I need to get some dehydrating done. Thanks for sharing your storage ideas. Looking forward to seeing your beverage ☕storage space

Hi Jenni great video I love your t-stand thank you so much for sharing how to dehydrate potatoes I just got my Excalibur and I was planning on dehydrating potatoes and they would have came out like Halloween now I know just so come over night and water and lemon juice and then boil them for 3 minutes what would I do without you Jenni thank you thank you so much and also great idea and how you store in your rice and your beans gives me a lot of ideas thank you 👍

Hi Jeni, I always freeze my flour, cornmeal ect. just as a precautionary measure too. I know someone that works at a Food City grocery store and they work in the bakery, so icing buckets are free. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed night!

I get tired just watching you, your one busy lady. I take it you do not have basements where you live see that your storage is outside, our basement stays cool and runs the whole length of the house, plenty of storage luckily.

Perfect ideas for food storage! Thank you!

I enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for sharing how you store your bulk items as well as your dehydrated potatoes. I always have wanted to know how to do that properly. I can't wait to get my canner and dehydrator to get started. You have such a welcoming voice and you make me feel right at home!

Our local grocery store has a bakery inside and on Fridays they give away free 5 gallon buckets that their frosting comes in, first come first serve. On side note...will we be getting Crocktober video from Helgas Pennsylvania cooking today

Thanks for sharing 🧡 I store in liner and bucket as well😁

Thank you Jeni, for a helpful video!

On your tea shelf, what's in the jar with orange powder - the one with a pumpkin on it? Is that some kind of pumpkin spice?

Great video! Ty for all the hard work and sharing. I have a small family so I put up less. So do it in jars and mylar like you, as well in small amounts.

I know this is probably one of those questions but would you show us how you use Israeli couscous in a meal as a food how you prepare it. I have heard of it but I am not familiar and if your kids like it that well mine may.

Great video! Thanks for sharing Jeni!

Please show a recipe or two with your dehydrated potatoes. 🙏

Cute chicken tea towel on the oven. The blood oranges match your deor wonderfully! Love your fingernails too.

Hi Jeni what do you do with your dehydrated potatoes?

Awesome awesome video thank you so much

Where do you get the bucket liners?

What is cooscoos that your kids love

Lol my buckets say peach for the same reason

I do not have a food saver either but I do have the small handheld jar sealer that can be purchased alone. Maybe an option for ya. Thanks for sharing!

Jeni, I used Pur canning jars for the first time this past Thursday. They were 1/2 pints. I filled them with fresh asparagus. Pressure canned them. They sealed just fine. I opened one today, Saturday. Much to my dismay, there were black spots underneath the lid. It's not mold, but appears to be on the white coating. I'd like to email a photo, perhaps you have a POC, at Pur.

Did I miss hear you at the end of the video, you pointed to a bag you said you'd just taken from the freezer, and you weren't going to give it time to fully return to room temperature? Aren't you concerned about condensation building inside your bucket as the frozen contents returns to room temperature. That can cause it to grow mold and mildew, ruining what you've stored.

I got a great deal on potatoes not long ago. I canned 14 quarts and I will be dehydrating about 25-30 pounds tomorrow and most likely the following days as well. I am also canning 15 pounds of chicken tomorrow morning. I am running out of space to store my foods! Not that I am complaining!

Great storage ideas. I do pretty much the same thing. Never thought of using bucket liners. What made you use them?

What kind of potatoes did you can?

I canned 100 pounds of potatoes. I’m trying to canned a full year’s worth of food.

Putting smaller amounts into freezer bags inside buckets makes so much more sense to me. Thank you! Did you say that you still use O2 absorbers in your freezer bags? I tried to see in the video, but I couldn't see them. Thank you so much for this idea.

Why blanche the potatoes first? Can’t you raw pack them?

What kind of potatoes do you use for canning?

Do you have a video on canning your potatoes? I've done them in the past ant they turned out kinf of slimy. Stumbled onto your channel...loved the video!!🤩

Did you just put a teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder in your quarts of potatoes?

Bakeries at grocery stores. I got mine free from Meijer. We have a Reverse Osmosis under our sink and use 5gal. water safe buckets with a spout and don't have to buy water. I put all my flour and rice in Mylar. Do you think it's ok to just use the bag liners if it's just the 2 of us or would it not last long enough? A year or so

OMGOODNESS I canned your Greek taters yesterday... And My oh My they were DELICIOUS. I know that has Nothing to do with this video... But they're SO YUMMY Jeni. 🙏🙏 Kendra

QUESTION: With your bucket liners, do you put oxygen absorbers in the bucket or just rely on freezing before storing? Also do you think the liners are as good as mylar bags?

Did you rinse the potatoes before cooking them?

I just canned up 10 quarts (16 pounds) of potatoes today. Still have another 48 pounds left to go. I want to do some herbed potatoes and your Greek Potatoes as well!

Could you please do a video when you make your mixes using flour? I have some flour I need to get put up and I know my buckets won't hold all of them but hey they were on sale with grocery points so they were free kinda like the sugar was at my grocery store this month, so, well, with everything being the way it is I couldn't resist lol.

Love those jars u have ur flours and sugars in. Where did u get them. Great video!!!

When I store dehydrated pots. Do I need to seal the jars ?

Great video. So you just put your oxygen obsorbers into the freezer bags?

QUESTION...Can we mix just the dry ingredients, for cornbread and store it?? If we can,what is the best way to do it??

How long do you freeze your dry goods like rice, and beans before you store them? I was told one week in, one out, return for one more week, then out a second time before it goes into Mylar.

Are you a homesteader? A little into sentence or two would be helpful to know what you're about.

What do use as liners

Will your brown sugar stay soft ?

Did you rinse them several times before cooking them?
