Amish Canning part 2 / Potatoes

That’s my daughter. I’m very proud of Her. ❤️❤️❤️

The reason her potatoes looked that way was they were new potatoes. Every year when my granny harvested her potatoes, she took all the tiny ones and any that were a little damaged and washed them really ,really well, cut any bad spots off, cut them in halves or fourths and canned them all. The bigger ones went in the root cellar. Can your new potatoes and they will look the same. Please, please, please keep making these videos. This generation needs so desperately to know how to do these things. Very hard times are coming and my generation is dying out and this knowledge will be lost if not passed on. Thank you for keeping the old ways alive.

When my grandmother was teaching me to can vegetables it was only water bath canning. I always water bath canned field peas, squash tomatoe etc etc. When I later in life bought a pressure canner I thought why do my beans look burnt inside the jars? Water bath canning made beautiful jars of food and none of us ever got sick from home canned vegetables. Just my little two cents worth on the matter! ❤

I don't know if the Amish ever do this, but I'm wanting to learn about canning a MEAL in a jar! I've seen a Russian lady with amazing videos (subtitled) & I think it's a brilliant idea for any prepper pantry. Just knowing I can feed my family a healthy meal no matter what craziness goes on in the world will help me sleep nights. The Russian lady lightly pre-cooks/seasons everything & layers rice or pasta, then meat/veg in repeating layers to fill the jars & tops with broth or water (salt/vinegar too). That way they only need to be reheated! She says her family got through the war because of this, I think it's BRILLIANT!

How do people think canning was done 100 years ago before pressure canners. Makes sense to me that EVERYTHING was water bathed. Loving your series. Thank you.

The government doesn’t want us to think for ourselves. Thank you for sharing a time tested and honored way of preserving our food for ourselves and our families 👍

Well heck. I've only watched 3 of your videos now and I am in love with them, and your humble and sincere heart! Keep going! P.S. Please please pleeease do a cookbook (with their permission) so we have this information handy in ONE place, in paper form. We may not always be able to watch videos on a computer.

I have water bath canned everything garden and meat,made new potatoes,carrots,onions with stew meat, wonderful for quick meals,also canned chicken,it is awesome! Love you channel ❤️ And guess what, I’m 75 and still alive after eating water bath canned food !😆

Yes, please continue with anything Amish. I think they have it right in so many aspects. Also forget about the rules, our world is over governed and big pharma and certain entities want to control every area of our lives. Water bathing has been done for centuries and people lived. You are a breath of fresh air, we support you. 💕🎶 I’m watching you at 6 am this morning! Loved the words of wisdom!

Yes please make more on making Amish meals! Thank you!

Amish meals, YES! A few years back some Amish moved into our town. They purchased what had been an old mill with a waterwheel that had made flour. They turned it into a store. They grew their food across the road at their home, farm fresh, and that store had some of the best food that you will ever stick in your mouth. The store is gone now, but the memories of that food is something I never will forget.

How adorable of your Mom to leave her sweet comment! I agree, you’re pretty great! ❤️👍🏻

Anything Amish that makes off grid living simpler or more efficient is always helpful! Like water filtration from rain collection water!

I really appreciate this series and am so glad you refused to be 'cancelled'! Keep up the good work!

Just a few days ago, I came across someone who water bath canned BACON for 3 hours. I was shocked, as I had never heard of this before. It got me to researching .. hungry to learn more! That is how I came across your channel. And I must say... I am so happy to have found you! I have always been intrigued by the Amish way of life and learning what you have learned is a treat. You have a talent for breaking things down and keeping it interesting.. So, YES! .. to the question of Amish Recipes. Thank you so much for sharing.. I look forward to this journey. Never too old to learn, I say😆

Girl I can't even tell you how thankful I am for your videos. There are virtually no books out there for water bathing and when you read they have everybody brainwashed that you can only can with a pressure canner. My daughter and I are avid but got away for it for a good while. When we returned everything was about the pressure canner. Don't get me wrong I'm not against it I just would like to know a primitive way of doing food preservation. And for this you are priceless! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

My husbands granny used to tell us how her mom and grandma would water bath can everything before pressure canning was a thing. I would love more videos on Amish water bath canning and Amish meals/preservation.

Oh I am going to go try potatoes right now! And yes to Amish meals!

52 yr old mom here, just started following you. Thank you for your work, willingness to share with us all. Thank you for being such a lovely, respectful lady who would make any mother proud.

I wish I could post to picture… I’m so proud! I canned potatoes the Amish way and I use the old pickle jar with the original lid and it worked! It popped so loud… And the potatoes are so pretty. Thank you
