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
  • 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! ❤️
  • @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."
  • I love those dish cloths - they are amazing! I found mine while visiting Berlin, Ohio many years ago. Thanks Mary!
  • @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!
  • @susanbenton8181
    The world was meant for homemade jam on homemade bread. Mary you are a rockstar!! Love from Texas ❤️
  • @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!
  • @DiannaDelpopolo
    The 2 of you are wonderful people. Thank you so much for sharing a lot of time for every one of
  • My mouth was watering watching you spread jelly onto your butterhorn Mary!
  • @Firinne2023
    I enjoyed watching this so much! I grew up helping my mother garden and can and freeze our produce. I live in the city now and I miss this so awfully much. Those blackberries were really nice! I’m intrigued by that slicer! I have a food processor, but this looks easier and faster 😢and doesn’t need power. Thanks for another great video! 💜
  • @bettyhughes5889
    I also can. Love the sound of the lids sealing. Maybe putting a damp towel under cutter when using.
  • @LynneLovett
    I wish I had the space and kitchen big enough to do canning. Thank you Ms Mary for sharing. God bless you and your family.
  • @cfcf8110
    From Charlotte in southeast Georgia!!‘Tis the season!! Canning peach jam, nectarine jam, grape jelly and cherry pie filling this week!! Love love love your videos!!!
  • @jch1965
    I’ve enjoyed canning down through the years. Loved the video. ❤
  • @rgvtexas8391
    I think a basement kitchen is a great idea. I home your stove is state of the art. Something durable for lots of canning.
