    I don’t think you mentioned to peel the daikon Also, if you chooses a daikon that is really large just under the stem can you use a slice to cover the top?

  • @thecitysteadkitchen
    @thecitysteadkitchen11 күн бұрын

    That might work to use a large slice to cover the top! I haven't done that but I prefer to keep things submerged with a non food item or in the case that it's a quick ferment and I'll be tending to it a lot, I'll leave it alone. I do peel the radish before pickling!

    I can meat because hurricanes are a nuisance. Living without electricity for weeks, gas shortages, unable to find food for your family while sweating in over 100 degree weather in 100% humidity inside your on home is such a miserable experience. Being able to warm up some beef you canned is such a luxury. I also can beef stew and soup for this. I tried ground meat when I first started canning and didn’t like the texture. Reminded me of canned chili.

    What a great way to use canned meat. And that does sound very difficult....we live in a northern climate and our miserable extreme would be if we were without power in the winter months. 😕 below freezing, down to -50 or more when the wind is really blowing. Total other end of the spectrum!

  • @karenmassey5499

    This might seem like a dumb question, but I don’t want to just assume haha. When you finish this canning process, is the chicken considered cooked so when you open the chicken, you can easily just eat it straight out of the jar if you wanted to?

    I save my bones and throw them in my roaster pan for a minimum of 2 days. Sometimes I do 3 days. Then I let it cool and pop it in the fridge and let it completely gel. Then I skim the fat off the top and can it. It turns out so good every time. ❤

    I normally always let mine cool down first for those same reasons. I have a small fridge and haven't had the space for this huge batches! Also in the winter it's cold enough to put it out in the back porch, which is ideal.

    I'm not sure if you rinsed your beans after soaking, maybe I missed it but I prefer to rinse. I'm always looking for new ideas for ready to eat home canned meals so I will give this one a try. Canning beans is not recommended but many people are doing it successfully so I say why not? I definitely need to make more of an effort not to waste food, I usually give a lot of it to the chickens but I would rather get in the habit keeping it for my family to eat.

    I’m doing this very thing. I took out a bag of jalapeños from last year. 2 hammocks, 3 bags of black beans and a bag of 15 bean soup, they are soaking now. Some carrots and celery I saved for broth and some fresh carrots, celery, onion and I had 2 bags of bones. I’m simmering the bones overnight with the leftover vegetables. I’m not sure what all I’m making tomorrow, but lots of beans with homemade broth. Oh also a package of Canadian bacon. I’m going to make a habit of cleaning out the freezer’s monthly or every 6 weeks and get stuff canned up. ❤

    Forgive me but that garlic looks like it's from C h i na. It's grown in toxic ground. Research it. Even the groceries have started lying about where it's from. Garlic is not supposed to be white like that. It's better to grow it yourself or get from a farmer. I researched it when I bought garlic and it turned black in a few days. Seriously, not kidding.

    I've grown garlic before and it's amazing. This garlic I bought from a local farmer. Both hardneck and softneck garlic can have white skins. You can't tell where it's grown from the outside. The inner clove skins vary in color and can give some clues as to what variety it is. Hardneck garlic has amazing flavor and its my favorite. Sorry your garlic spoiled so quickly! Especially depending on long it has been stored, it might be toward the end of it's shelf life as it doesn't store indefinitely.

    Great short video. I honestly don’t bother clicking a 20 minutes video when you can do it in a few minutes. Just a side note: Although it would be helpful to outline the exact measurements either in ounces, or easier in grams as some table/teaspoons are not the same. I did make something similar with a different recipe, which I had to go back & forth figuring out doing calculations to find the exact measurement. I loved your beeswax. Looks so pure.

    For a dinner make a large pot of chili using canned beans and for a lunch try a vegan garbanzo "egg" salad sandwitch. I keep some of my dry goods in jars in categories on my shelf with bucket backstock. Like pastas, rice noodles, ramen buckwheat noodles beans, peas, legumes Rice, quinoa, orzo Grains; wheat, buckwheat, oat groats, rolled oats, gluten free mix Then when i menue plan i choose a categorize to use, like Monday pasta, and each week i make a diffetent dish using a pasts. Tuesday is usually mexican foods, so i make beans, ect. Every season i look at what we have and write down ideas. For winter i include alot of soups and split peas is one of my ten crockpot soups. Split peas cook very fast so i wouldnt cann them, but you do you. Ive over bought and have had to pay for a storage unit, i now cook for others and give meals away going through my preps.
