What I Will & Won't Can Again With Linda's Pantry 

Love those books as well. Just took all my canning and dehydrating books to Fed Ex Business Center for spiral binding. The cost was about $4.00 per book and done within a couple of hours. They all open easily and stay flat on the counter !!!

I love canning Green beans,dry beans that why they are ready to go .Pie filling of any kind as well ,as halved pears Also did a few with honey and cinnamon sliced pears they turned out great I added NO sugar ! Only did 6 pint jars next year if the lord willing will do more ! Also I did your bean and Ham soup everyone loves it .Passed a jar onto a neighbor they had a fit loving them it on the list to do again . The don’t do again ! Cabbage (Mistake) Potatoes (to mushed) Will do more Tomato sauce Can meat HB,Chicken (parcooked ) Smoked Boston Butt, Thank you for sharing

Years ago, my son called my canning "science experiments" & didn't want any canned foods from me. I tried to convince him that canning requires a lot of cleaning, sterilization, etc. Well, he got sick with one jar & I found out why. Hubby's job is to pressure can in the garage (we have the 2 largest All American canners). All he had to do is watch & listen for the gauges/weights & timers. I caught him snoring 😴 on the job!! 😨😲 I got all kinds of mad & fired him. 😠 Now, I do it all. Son now eats my canned foods & says all are delicious & doesn't make him sick. 😊 My vegetable soup is my fav. Canned spinach sounds interesting!

I love canned potatoes to use...for soup! 😂 taking the time ahead to peel, chop, cook the potatoes makes pulling together a soup so quick!

Please do canned spinach and other greens.

Hey Linda! You have walked me through several canning sessions since I started pressure canning in April. Your chipotle black beans are an absolute favorite and I had them on a big tossed salad today as the protein. Many thanks to you and the other "Collab Ladies!" You all have taught me so much and I am very grateful for all of you.

Would definitely love to see the spinach canning. Since it cooks down so much, I've never thought canning it would be worth it. But as much as I love spinach, I'd love to be able to can it so I can have it during the off season for fresh spinach.

My family does like the boneless skinless chicken breat canned. We use it for chicken salad sandwiches. It's much better and cheaper than a grocery store can of chicken. Just fyi for your listeners I'm NOT picking. Every one has different preferences.

I do wish you and others would come back and put a disclaimer on stuff you did not like and wont do again----- shrimp!!!! I followed your recipe back in march and now im afraid to open it. Wouldve been good to kno before i did it !!!!!💞💞💞💞😾😾😾😾

100% agree with you about canning Potatoes

I have waited years to hear how the shrimp turned out....thank you

Really respect your opinion !! Thank you so much for your knowledge!!

I agree with the potatoes. They are OK if you need a fast stew when company show up then you can throw together a fast filling meal.

I canned corned beef years ago following your video!!! OMG game changer! I love canning chicken, roast beef, tuna etc. but I’m just saying... that corned beef!!!! Yum!

I use pickle crisp in my pickles help keep them firmer longer

We had the War of the Potatoes in my family. I decided one year when I had a large amount of extra potatoes that I was going to try canning them. My Dad's mom canned potatoes every year. My Mother was dead set against it. I think we used 3 quarts of the potatoes and we ended up discarding about 18 quarts to get the jars back. For the record, I loved my canned potatoes.

Hi, thanks Linda. You have always been very knowledgeable. Thank you.

That Amish canning cookbook is my absolute favorite!

Thank you! I agree you change things adding meat in advance to the red sauces. I do all I can to avoid "pet food pate' "

I tried getting fancy with beans by adding spices and flavors that really didn't end well as far as taste and texture go. From now on I will keep it simple when it comes to beans. Thanks for sharing, love your videos.

I've been watching canning and preserving videos for a couple years now and have never seen anyone make a recipe for corn relish. Years ago ( late 1970's) I learned to can with my mother and we tried several recipes for corn relish but never found just that perfect one. I know fresh corn season is basically over but I would love to see someone in the preserving community share their recipe, if anyone has one. PLEASE!

I have learned so much from you over the last few years!

Looking forward to your beautiful pie filling!!!

Please do a video on canning spinach!! I would love to learn how to can spinach, it is a very healthy and delicious vegetable. Thanks in advance!!

I love raw packed chicken breast for chicken salad. It tastes just like it came from the store.

I made the onion jam yesterday. It is fantastic!

Now when I can chicken breast I add 1/2 of a thigh (bone in & skin on) to the jar and it adds the needed fat and so much more flavor! And I add some chicken broth to it as well for even more flavor. That is for a quart. If I were doing pints, 1/4 of a thigh would be fine. You don't need much.

I love the sweet onion jam that The Kneady Homesteader makes

I like dry canned potatoes for fried potatoes.

I like your videos because your kitchen is clean, if a person is clean then I trust their canning. You can’t imagine the people who post videos with filthy kitchens and filthy sinks. As I am new to canning, I trust your recipes and appreciate your advise. Thank you

Linda I love your videos and have learned so much from you. I watch as much as I can.

I enjoy canning Swiss Chard, pickled purple onions, pickled vegetables, Roasted Turkey Soup, Salsa, cherry pie filling and Cranberry Raspberry Chutney are my most favorite things to can.

Just saw your channel for the 1st time. Very impressed. I've been canning and reverse engineering popular brand name condiment sauces and pickles for over 40 years. The world needs to see more of you and your recipes. Good job

I just went through my pantry & cleared out all the jars of food that I truly wasn't happy with. I think that I canned EVERYTHING (literally) because I could. People, NEVER can HOT DOGS just because you can! lol It's the weirdest thing ever! lol I mean, unless you're expecting the world to come to a complete halt & you think you will crave the taste of a dog, just don't do it.... My family refused to eat them.

I love your onion jam and have made it the last few years. Everyone who tries it loves it!

Great video! I agree on red sauce w meat being oh so bitter - you said scorched and that's so true. Also no use for potatoes, mine are white and you've just helped me decide they're going bye bye in the morning. I abhor waste but they're just taking up space. Darn.

Do you have a recipe for preparing and then canning corned beef

I started canning in 1980 and only just started canning potatoes this year. I tried canning them both in water and dry, and I must say I love them dry canned. They come out cooked, firm and make the best home fries. A real time saver with the same results as when making them the more time consuming way. I've also used them in on pot meals with my dry canned ground beef and vegetables, to which adding a tiny bit of Cowboy Candy gives the dish a little zing. When dry canning the ground beef (which I learned from you) I give the browned meat a quick rinse under hot water which washes off any remaining fat. After processing, the meat no longer clumps, it remains brown and tastes more like before it was canned. Without rinsing off the fat the meat would clump, turn a pinkish color and the aroma was more like dog food than ground beef.

Oh my. I really love my canned potatoes. Perhaps you have not landed upon the right technique for them yet. They are so much better than purchased canned potatoes and so handy as opposed to frozen stuff. Love them!

I have been slowly feeding all the things I did not like that I canned to my puppy dogs. Most of it was safe for them to eat and they are very happy with it lol and get excited on a night I open a jar for them. I just dumped the ones they couldn't eat.

Excellent video! I'm definitely taking your tips seriously. I'm new to pressure canning and just tried a small batch of chili. It tasted way better before I canned it. I agree that the sugars were scorched so I won't can it again! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

This is so interesting to hear what all you ladies do. Very helpful.

Thank you!

I WILL can the Pork/chicken in spicy broth and chipotle chicken you did. Both are delicious!

I won’t can chicken soup with chicken chunks because they become hard and. I’m thinking of cutting up the stuff and putting it a chicken pot pie just to use it up.

I love canned fish! It makes great fish patties.

Yes please for the canned spinach. I've never thought to can it. Also perhaps we could take a look at how you use it once it is canned!

YES PLEASE!!! Show us how you can spinach. Please! Pretty please?

I wholeheartedly agree with the ugly chicken. Bone in skin on gives the biggest nutritional bang as well. All that wonderful gelatinous collagen, and the flavour added from the bones and skin.....the most delicious chicken soup.

Would you share your balsamic and onion jam recipe that you DO like?

Now this is the kind of video I love , honest , truthful , lids and jars so hard to come by right now . I would rather save those for things we will eat , thanks so very much ❣️Canned so many green beans this year , right now I can’t even eat them lol 😂But my adult children are enjoying them among other canned goods . Love and light Linda .

Thank you! I love the canning videos. You and others inspire me.

I LOVE these video's about what you (and others) would or would not can again, and why! Things I won't can again............a couple years ago a popular youtube video was shared about making grape juice the simple way, loading up your jars with grapes, lots of sugar, and boiling water. I was curious about an easy method since I didn't have a steam juicer, and it was awful. Super sugary, slightly grapy water. Never again. I also did a Mrs. Grass packet for canning chili. That was horribly sweet, and won't do that again either. A canned pea soup recipe was very, very garlicky, and I ended up throwing most of that out. Such a waste of money. I'd like to try another attempt at the pea soup again though, as I usually love it.

Linda, thank you for all your incredible information. You are literally one of.. if not the main go to on how am going to can this for me. God bless!

Can you do a video on pickling and canning vegetables please?

I never can my chilli beans with meat either, great list, I would love to see canned spinach and kale, I’m getting a ton of it in my garden, I don’t like canned potatoes but hubbs loves them, si will have rice when he eats canned potatoes, I can them for him, although I will use them in a soup or stew recipe and they are fine

I canned the balsamic onion jam I loved it

I raw packed chicken with some already prepared BBQ sauce, to make pulled chicken. The chicken texture was good but it all taste burnt. YUK. I will try it again with homemade sauce that is not fully cooked.

Thank you for all you share. I won't 'pickle' shrimp again either...

Looks like we agree on not canning potatoes by themselves. The taste is just not there.

I have trouble with canning bone-in chicken only because the bones get so soft I can't get them out very easy. I have lots of ground beef, stew beef, chicken, and turkey and we like those. I canned some thick chunks of bacon but it has a really weird flavor and smell so I won't do that again. I also won't do sausage again for similar reasons, weird taste. I love most fruits & jams and veggies. I try to can things I can't buy already from the store like corn or green beans.

We love spinach and would love to see a how to video. Do you have a video for the Mexican vegetables?

Linda, you are one of my trusted canners. I use a lot of your recommendations (and I do my research). Love ya girl

Please tell us more about your meatloaf experience... taste or texture problems?

Spinach please!

If you need a great pressure canning cookbook then get The Unofficial All-American Canning Cookbook by Sandra May. It's mainly a pressure canning book.

I soooo enjoy your videos. I love how much you’re teaching me. We have the same cookbooks. Living in Florida it is usually way to hot for soup. And I will be looking into your balsamic onion jam. Thank you so much Linda. Hugs

This was very informative. I’ll use it as a reference.

Will you give us the balsamic onion recipe?

Looks delicious....

Will no do ketchup again, wow! "We will not falter - We will not fail." Thanks for the video. God Bless Stay Safe EDIT: Ketchup has a thousand ingredients and does not taste like ketchup. It is too cheap not to buy and tastes great.

Thank you Linda another awesome video

I can all the proteins I can get my hands on to can. I am doing carnivore and a pint of protein is perfect for a meal and drink the broth. Yummy!!!

Great honest content. Thanks for sharing 👍😎

Green beans and mushrooms.. I never thought of that.

Yes please! Do a video canning spinach some day!

Amazing video! Thank you!😍😍

Very informative Linda, thank you❤

Thank you, Linda, this was very helpful! Please show us canned spinach.

Loving this collab, thank you for doing it again! I wish you ladies would do this every other year to update with new things you've tried. One of my 'always' is your Rhubarb Habanero jelly. I know it is problematic with the batch size amount but the taste is so worth it. I make sure to make it every year now. If you ever think of it come springtime, maybe you could remake that recipe with half the batch size for those of us who need smaller amounts. Thank you, Linda!

I AGREE on the meatloaf, ground beef and ground beef patty. I can’t wait until those are off my shelf. So much time and money wasted...never again. I do however love my canned chicken breast.

You're a doll. I love your energy. ☺

I will definitely can any and all beans. They turn out perfect compared to the stovetop. The cost is roughly 15 cents a jar & I can add whatever spices I want. Never again will I can potatoes. I was so excited because I eat potatoes pretty much every day & ended up wasting delicious organic yukon and sweet. They were so gross! Lol

I find it interesting you don’t like the cherry burbon bbq. I made it this week and I loved it.

I love the videos you did for chicken with bone and skin. I am going to can that next! I thought carrots were a waste of shelf space and they took my jars out of rotation. I prefer to dehydrate carrots and potatoes for that matter because you can get so many dehydrated carrots in one quart jar. Also canning orange marmalade was worth the work for me.

Thanks for the heads up on Shrimp, Im in Australia and we are lucky to have an abundance of seafood, but I was wondering if it made it easy, I wont be canning shrimp

Corned beef is on my list in the next month or two.

I made fruit cocktail from 2014 ball book --Awesome!!!

Yes id also love tp see the canning spinach please :) Thankyou

I did meatballs and tomato sauce.. i hope it turns out ok..i found it on another site

Agree, Meatloaf was like dog food to me. I will no longer can any sausages or chili with beef.

Please DO canned kale and spinach canning! I've blanched my kale and frozen it planning to can it. We've had a bumper crop this year. ALSO want you to do the chicken canning you like too! Frozen some thighs that were an incredible buy and want to can them as well.

I also would love to see how you can spinach. Please comment on how it differs texture and taste wise from the crappy store-bought canned spinach.

I have no family. That means absolutely no living family and my only close friend is my caregiver who's been with me for quite a while and works for an agency and is paid to be here. So I think it's pretty safe to say I can try what I want or not. But I do share my food with my caregiver and I'm teaching her how to make macaroni and cheese tomorrow. I will make two 9 x 13 aluminum pans and she can take one home with her and her little boy. He comes every day to see his Nanny and that is me! I also bought a full share in a CSA because due to the Nesco electric canner which also Cooks as a slow cooker and a steam cooker and a pressure cooker I can can again with these hands that hang on the end of my wrists wondering what to do!! I have started buying jars and I can't wait. No they don't can as many jars as a canner on the stove but there was no way under God's heaven that it is safe for me to can with a canner on the stove ever again! And I'm going to cry if I don't go. Be well!

Thank you.

Manwich was a HARD no from my family. Breakfast sausage patties - yuck on texture (mushy dog food), but flavor was fine (can repurpose into breakfast casseroles or omelets).

I won't do carrots again. They came out so mushy and had an aftertaste we didn't care for.

Just wondering if that is a small insta pot on your counter. If so, wondering if you have a video where you talk about it. I am thinking of getting one, but with being single wondering about the size and if worthwhile. Thank you for all of your awesome videos!

I agree with your comments! I did about 24 pints of par cooked jimmy deans sausage I couldn't believe how awful, I dumped out all of them. Chicken breast, patatoes, never again. I do small batches of things I haven't tried because of these horrible experiences.

Thanks for the tips
