Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

@quilterjanet 10 месяцев назад

Do you ever make the pull-apart pizza with the biscuits? For a 9x13 I use 2 (sometimes 3) cans, cut into quarters, and you can do a number of themes... Mexican- salsa, olives, cheese, (anything you can put on a taco); Italian-spaghetti sauce can, browned burger (opt), cheese; Pot pie- chicken chunks or can, cream of chicken, frozen carrots & peas, cheese. These are very very versatile. And kids love them.

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 10 месяцев назад

You are such an inspiration to me as a homemaker/homesteader/wife/mom/woman. I appreciate the love that you have for your children and husband and I appreciate all the work you put into your home and children. I think you and I are about the same age and it lifts my spirits to see someone our age still looking forward and actively living and planning. I have so much energy and so many dreams--I'm not at all ready to "settle down". lol I can't wait to start seeing cranberries on our store shelves (soon, I think!) and I plan to support that economy! My daughter and I plan to can enough relish to feed an army. We love it!! I had two bags left in the freezer from last year and we made a batch of cranberry sauce and put in the fridge (only 2 pints...not worth heating the canner). Thanks for all that you share!

@acountrylife 10 месяцев назад

I feel the same way. There’s so much to live for. If you make cran sauce and put the canning lid on when it’s still really hot, you can keep the jars in the fridge for up to 3 months. If I only make 6 or so jars that’s what I do because you’re right, no sense getting out the canner for that small amount.

@rough-hewnhomestead5737 10 месяцев назад

@@acountrylife Thanks! I can't wait to get my hands on cranberries and make a huge batch of sauce, but like you mentioned, I just refrigerated it since our recent batch was such a small amount. My daughter and I eat it alongside or on everything! lol YUM! ...and yes! There is so much to live for and look forward to! I wish I had a neighbor like you to hang out with. ; )

That beautiful cranberry sauce is a labor of love from beginning to end and it is so pretty. I haven't made that type in years, have mostly just done the whole-berry type that isn't strained and we do like it with a little orange zest and juice. Your meals looked great and I'm amazed you were able to film anything at all with how busy this time of year is for your family. Thank you for the video, I look forward to all of them.

Biscuits freeze well even the canned ones I put them in the door of my freezer same as cinnamon rolls crescent rolls pull apart bread pizza dough any breads that come in the can i freeze Been doing that several months cause our IGA always has canned dough reduced Occasionally the biscuits don't get the big rise but they will still rise up a good amount 95 percent of the time they rise just as good as fresh biscuits You got to pull them out the freezer a couple hours ahead of time to bake if they are still frozen they'll not rise as well Let thaw put come to room temperature and they'll rise perfect

My favorite way to roast any squash but especially butternut is to cube it like you did, add oil and then use an Italian dressing packet as the seasoning. It’s so delicious and my husband who hated squash requests it once a week 🤣 I love to leave it in until the bottoms get a bit crispy. So delicious.

Hello Jennifer and sweet family! Everything always looks so delicious. I plan on canning lots of cranberries sauce and juice this year. My mother (she is 83) loves cranberries and I do too, so I will be giving her part of it. She is not able to can anymore so I will do it for her. I seen a doe bring her fawn to eat apples from my apple tree and didn’t have the heart to scare them away. Everyday she would come eat the apples with her baby and I just enjoyed watching them. I hope everyone is doing good and healthy. Have a blessed day sweet family!

@acountrylife 10 месяцев назад

I’m sure your mother appreciates the home canned goods. That’s very thoughtful.

@jamesbrown8718 10 месяцев назад

I love your cranberry sauce recipe but I do have a question for you. I don’t have a food meal to strain it like you did on the video. How would you suggest that I strain it to make it smooth the way yours turned out? Thank you for such great videos Jennifer. Been watching you for along time now.

@acountrylife 10 месяцев назад

A fine meshed sieve and wooden spoon works great. It takes some time to push it through, but yields great results.

How do you get rid of the canning water with broken glass chards? It hasn't happened to me YET, but would like your advice. Thanks.

@acountrylife 10 месяцев назад

I take out the good jars then slowly pour water down the drain until I can see what glass pieces there are. Keep pouring until only glass is left and dump it in the garbage. Then I give the canner a good rinse. Usually the break is a pretty clean break resulting in 2 pieces, the main jar and the bottom.
