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.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

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...
