Ball Complete Book of Canning and Home Preserving Giveaway!

 

Well, have things started to slow down for you since Christmas? Yeah, me neither. We had a great Christmas, and I hope y'all did too.  I have been really busy since Christmas and I have a list of things to do that is mile long. I am not really sure where to start when trying to tackle my to-do list. However, I knew when I received this as a Christmas present, that I had to do a giveaway. My little sister got me this and I just knew that one of my readers needed to have a copy too!

You all know my love of all things canning. I have been known to take free fruits and vegetables from people just so I can find a recipe to can them and put them up for the year. I know that many of you share my love for canning, so this is my gift to you and a great way to start out the New Year! I can't wait to see who the lucky winner will be!

Make sure to share this so all your friends and family can get entered in the drawing!

The drawing starts tonight at midnight and goes until midnight on January 8th!

Good luck, and happy canning this New Year!

At Home Canning for Beginners and Beyond Review and Giveaway!

Spring is finally in the air here in Kentucky and that makes me think about my garden. And, thinking about my garden makes me think about canning. Last summer, I was canning liked the zombie apocalypse was coming and we have been enjoying the fruits of my hard labor all winter long. When I saw that Kendra from New Life on a Homestead had made a canning DVD, I knew I had to have it.

If you are a visual person, like me, you need this DVD! I can read directions a hundred times before I understand them, but when I watch a video tutorial, I understand the concept immediately. Does that make me a visual learner?

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure if Kendra would be able teach me anything I didn't already know. After all, I come from a long line of canners in my family. I have memories of my mom and grandma canning garden produce throughout my entire childhood. When I first started canning, I would call my grandma several times a week to ask her many, many questions about the process.

Imagine my surprise to learn something new in the very first canning segment of the DVD! I learned how to make and can apple jelly and applesauce from the same batch of apples! I canned applesauce last summer and it took me a long time to peel, slice, and cook the apples. Kendra made it look like the easiest thing EVER, and taught me how to make apple jelly using the same apples!  I was on Amazon that very day ordering this food strainer  (affiliate link) that she used to make the applesauce.

She also shows you how to use a pressure canner the proper way. My grandma has always been scared to use a pressure canner but Kendra gives you great instructions on using the All American brand. I have a different pressure canner brand that I use, but I will definitely be buying the All American Pressure Canner she suggests in the DVD the next time I purchase one.

The sections covered in the DVD are as follows:

Apple Jelly

Applesauce

Blueberry Pie Filling

Grape Juice

Spaghetti Sauce

Green Beans

Dried Beans

Ground Beef

Chicken

Chile Con Carne

Chicken Soup

Beef Stew

I highly recommend this canning DVD! In fact, I love it so much that I have joined with Homesteading on Grace to do a giveaway to one lucky reader who visits us on Facebook!
