10 Top Tips For Canning

 Hello! For those who don’t know me, my name is Tracie Smith. I have two youtube channels. One is Anarchy Land and the other is Scratch Kitchen. Early this week Linda from Linda’s Pantry and Liesa from Sutton Daze opened open the doors for anyone who does canning to leave their top ten tips and if you do videos to leave them as well. So here we go. 


10. Research. Find why people choose one pressure canner over another. I have a Presto because that was in my budget. And it was what Wal-Mart carried in their store. Learn the difference between them.

9. Learn what your family likes. There’s no point in canning stuff your family doesn’t like. Done it. 

8. Access what size you need. If you have a small family then stick with pints. If you have a large family like Amy Maryon or Jammerrille Stewart then go with the quarts. 

7. Purchase current books. Don’t throw out your inherited books. Rather enter the recipe title in the search bar at www.freshpreserve.com and the updated recipe with coming up. There may be changes and there may not be. Those books have memories. You do need current ones. I have the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning the 2015 version. The Amish Canning Cookbook by Georgia Varozza. The Unofficial Cookbook for Your All-American Pressure Canner by Sandra May.  Of course, I have several Ball books as well

6. Test a recipe. When you find a recipe you want to can, make a small batch for dinner before you go to the time of canning it. If they don’t like it then, the chances are they probably won’t go for it canned. 

5. Start Simple. Get comfortable with the process of pressure and wate- bath canning by canning water. Seriously! You don’t have to worry about ruining food. And you have water in the case of an emergency requiring water. 

4. Create a system for tagging jars. Find a system that works for which will help you keep track of your canning projects.

3. FIFO. First in first out. Put new canning products in the back so you rotate your stock. 

2. Plan & Organize. Plan about a four-hour block of time for the process. Now you can put your meat in a slow cooker overnight or before you go to work and let it cook. Hey, you can even use your insta pot here on slow cook function. 

The last tip is the most important, get familiar with the recipe. Take the time to read it thoroughly. I have ADD and Dyslexia. So I take about two weeks to read every word.

America: How Does She Change?

The last few days, I have seen numerous videos regarding the trafficking of humans getting worse than ever in this cesspool called America. This has got to stop. NOW! No more waiting.  September 5, 1985! The day when Johnny Gosch went missing. Nooren Gosch has done multiple interviews about what her family went through after Johnny Gosch went missing. Mrs. Gosch was told Johnny would come home after he calmed down. They let her know he was ‘a runaway”. Sound familiar? The FBI was of NO help. So, the idea that the FBI 'recovered’ children in Florida is a joke. How did they come in and find these children out of the blue? Seriously! Approximately 73 million children since 2023. Why aren't these numbers updated?  I just find it strange that Trump's attempts to cover up his involvement with Epstein AND Maxwell, BPFs to the super elite, was a disaster, now the FBI find over 60 children in Florida, home of Mar Lago, are instantly found. Then there were children rescued in Louisia...

Reality Check

  This video is straightforward. There is no dancing around the bush. If you’re offended by profanity, don’t watch it.  Trump’s Certification Let’s start there. This should show people that the event in 2021 was staged chaos—nothing more. Since 2001, spontaneous access to federal government buildings has been a thing of the past. It simply doesn’t happen now.  Canada to be the 51 st state.  Have you people lost your minds? You don’t want to be the 51 st state. You will lose everything that makes Canada unique—mainly your healthcare system. Stay independent from America. Civil War in America. Here’s where the plain simple talking or Reality check comes in. NO FUCKING WAY! It’s simply not possible. There are a variety of things that must happen for a war to happen.  Common Enemy. A group of people must agree on a common enemy. We can’t even agree on how to cook pasta. There’s been a carefully created division among Americans. It’s been maintained for decades. Eac...

Who Gets To Run For Office?

  Have you ever wondered why some people in America are eligible to run for an office like the Senate or President, but others who might be more qualified are not ? I have been wondering about this. Let’s first examine the cost of running for a national office. Before we get started, let's look at what the base cost was to run for an office in 1915, right before the Federal Reserve was established.  The Senate seat was $2k up to but not exceeding $10k.  Presidential $5k to $10k. You see the difference. The average American could afford to run before the Federal Reserve was established.  The most expensive state: Texas is hands down the most expensive state. Coming it at  $199,959,917. This is insane. It takes almost two million dollars to run for a Senate seat in Texas.  The least expensive state was a surprise, considering what it’s known for: Nevada. Yes, the state with the highest concentration of casinos and legalized brothels is the least expensive to...
