CANNING SWEET CHERRIES:
Wash cherries and remove stems. Fill jars to almost the neck with cherries. Make a syrup of water and sugar. (I use around 1/2 cup of sugar to 2 quarts of water.) Fill jars to the neck with the water/sugar mixture. Can using your canning method of choice. (I cold-packed mine for 10 minutes in a hot water bath.)

CANNING GREEN BEANS:
Wash beans and cut off the stems. Put in jars. Add 1 Zinc tablet, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Fill with water to the neck of the jars. Can using your canning preference. (I cold packed mine in a hot water bath for 1 hour)

BLACKBERRY JELLY:
5 cups blackberry juice
1 pack low sugar Fruit Pectin
4-5 cups Evaporated Cane Sugar
1 teaspoon butter (to keep from foaming)
Boil the above mixture for 1 minute. (be careful so it doesn't boil over!)
Put in jars and can. (I cold packed mine in a hot water bath for 10 minutes)

CUCUMBERS:
* The bread and butter pickle recipe will be in my sister Marlene's cookbook, coming soon!

FREEZER PICKLES:
6 cups sliced cucumbers
1 cup thinly sliced onions
1 cup vinegar
1/4 cup water
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons salt
1 teaspoon celery seed

Mix vinegar, sugar, water, salt, and celery seed in a saucepan and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over the cucumbers and onions. Stir. These pickles will last for a few weeks in the fridge. They can also be frozen.

BUTTERHORNS:
Mix together:
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
Beat in 3 eggs and 1 cup water. Let stand for 15 minutes.
Add:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 cups flour
Knead well. Cover and set in fridge overnight.
The next day, divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll each part into a 12" circle. Cut into 16 wedges. Roll each wedge up, starting with the wide end. Put in a greased pan. Let rise for 3-4 hours. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Brush with butter

    Hi Mary... just recently stayed at your cottages with our dear friends. This was our second time. We loved every minute. You have thought of everything one might need while staying. The blackberries were big and beautiful there. Thank you Mary for all you do. We have met you in person a couple of times and you are the sweetest and kindest person. I always watch your videos but never comment , but I love every one. ...Mrs.Steve

    There is greater wisdom here than meets the eye: to accept nature's bounty when she gives it, and to store it up for the time when she doesn't.
  • @diannehiggs
    My mouth is watering at the thought of those fresh rolls and jelly. Your kitchen must smell heavenly. 😋
  • @kaytiemcd4331
    Your kitchen is perfect for these Canning projects. My Mom loved Canning. This video reminded me of her. Good Memories, Thank you.
  • @nannychachi
    It's so great to see all of that canned food on our shelves. And, I love the process of canning and hearing that "ping."
  • @deanadailey7197
    A video full of nostalgia! We canned and froze everything, including beef, fish and game, at my grandparent’s old farmhouse. She made a refrigerator dill pickle that was fantastic. To this day, I am grateful to have experienced that life!
  • @pjc1895
    Another wonderful video! Reminds me of my childhood. In today's world what a breath-of-freshair you are! Don't apologize and don't change anything. I hope you enjoy producing your vids! ❤😊
  • I was shopping several years ago at a local Mennonite grocer and came across Christmas Jam; never heard of it, let alone seen it prior to that visit. Bought a jar, and fell in love. I found a recipe; now I make it regularly. Can’t keep it in my pantry. I’ve given it away at times. I get asked from time to time if I have any more jars left. My pantry is currently empty of this delightful treat. Time to pull out the jam making equipment and make up a batch! ❤️
  • @kathyf7862
    I enjoy seeing your husband working with you! My brothers loved canning all their lives. Maybe it was because we would all can fruit together in summer and enter some in the fair with 4-H. Very find memories!💐
  • @angelahagood3639
    I enjoy watching others can. Everyone tweaks the method a little and I learn from that! Thank you for sharing your family’s canning time with us!
  • @LoreleiHome
    Something so peaceful and comforting about your episodes. Really loved this one! I grew up in rural Alaska and canning was a way of life. Picking berries (watch out for bears!), making jams and pickling. Gott segen eich!
  • @kerryclare3456
    In the 1950s, I listened in to many interesting conversations on the porch, while snapping green beans with the 'old' ladies. 😊 Btw- You and John are truly a match made in heaven. You WORK well together. ❤
  • @susanbenton8181
    The world was meant for homemade jam on homemade bread. Mary you are a rockstar!! Love from Texas ❤️
  • @deborahcobb9064
    I certainly needed this today. Anytime I’m having a hard day. I can count on you to make it more pleasant. Thank you again so very much for having this channel.
  • @junethiel632
    Oh you took me back some 60 years now - I recall helping both my late grandmas with canning! I could just taste that delicious tart-sweet black cherry jam......yummy!!!
  • I love those dish cloths - they are amazing! I found mine while visiting Berlin, Ohio many years ago. Thanks Mary!
  • @corazon-be5bx
    Your canning reminds me of my granny. She always canned mushrooms, pumpkin, pears with cinnamon and many other. It was in the 60ties and 70ties when I was a child. So much good memories. I loved her so much ❤
  • @stephmarks8923
    For my jam… after I put it in the jar and screw the lid down tight I flip them upside down for about 10 to 15 minutes. When I turn them upright again the jars will seal really quick 😊 avoids the hot water bath to seal the jar!
  • @janeevans4758
    Mary you definitely have a wonderful husband! And you deserve it. The sweetest couple ever. 😊 another beautiful video thank you.
  • @lisafriend5535
    A lot of work, but so satisfying to grow what you eat.
