How to make juice with a steam juicer. Then, how to preserve it for years! :)

[sonebone7]

You have alot of PATIENCE! GREAT VID!

[NUTTAHABEQUA]

is there a cookbook for these juicers? I don't like to waste any product so I would really like to use whatever is left. I love this vid! Job well done!

[kbj57]

Great video...very informational Thanks a lot!

I have pressure canned beef stews, chilis, chicke, turkey and pork with my 921 All American canner. I like this idea, too!! Neat!! (But I am going RAW and I have not eaten meat in 13 years, I store it for my husband and other family...)

[EdentiaFarms]

@savgal1211 I eat raw foods in season. There is hardly anything in season right now. Some roots and that's all. I have another juicer for raw foods and I sprout wheatgrass indoors for a healthy fresh source of raw enzymes. I try and avoid purchasing raw food from cold storage. I try to preserve my own food as much as possible.

[goatkisses]

Thanks for this video! I have a steam juicer, but haven't been able to use it yet. I am still learning how to can some things, I just canned tomatoes for the first time this year. I loved your idea of putting them into the fair, I have never thought about that, but it would add an element of fun to what I like to learn to do already. Do you put apples into the steam juicer? If so, do you peel them first? Thank you for your helpful information!

[EdentiaFarms]

@goatkisses Yes, I put the apples in there whole. I don't do anything to them if I only want juice. I have another video showing how to make apple juice and applesauce with the same apples in the steam juicer. In that method I use a peeling, slicing, coring tool.

[susannamcintyre]

Thank you for this video. I am looking into getting a steam juicer so I thought I would youtube it and see what came up. You did a wonderful job of explaining it all.

[EdentiaFarms]

@susannamcintyre awesome, glad I could help!

[sownlyme]

I did acknowledge that your video was really useful and I also took time to leave my comments by way of feedback for you. Here in the UK 'babbling' is often used as a term to describe childrens chatter - it is not an unfriendly term. You choose to make and present these videos and I would have thought some honest feedback would have been helpful. l also have chidren and grandchildren - sadly today's parents feel the need to 'share' their children at every opportunity and it is not necessary.

[EdentiaFarms]

@sownlyme

You are making mountains of mole hills. You can hear my husband speaking to my daughter for a few seconds, lightly and muffled. This is not a child exhibition, clearly. You're "share" comment is not accurate either. I don't care to argue this back and forth. I pity that the sound of happy children make you feel irritable. I enjoy seeing children in other people's videos. Obviously, you have pre-determined that any amount of background noise is unacceptable so please don't watch.

[sownlyme]

Really useful video - but - why record it with small child in background. I find it so irritating istening to them babbling away.

[EdentiaFarms]

@sownlyme

I am a work at home mother and I am sharing something useful with you. I find it irritating that you have the nerve to complain about my child. This is done over several hours throughout the day when my children are awake. If you have a problem with hearing my children in the background then you can kindly not watch any of my videos. Youtube is a place where real people post videos. Real people have children. I don't appreciate the "babbling" comment.

[aharon03]

Wonderful video, Bonnie! THANKS! But, if you heat treat them does that not take most of the enzymes and other nutrients away?

[EdentiaFarms]

@aharon03 That is a great point. Yes, when you heat juice you do kill enzymes and some nutrients. The benefit of doing it this way is so that you can preserve the juice without preservatives or refrigeration for years. Fresh juice is best but it is not always in season. Drinking fresh juice off season, you have to wonder what chemicals have been keeping the juice fresh. Basically, drink fresh when you can. There still are tons of vitamins and nutrients left in the steamed juice.

[EdentiaFarms]

@aharon03 I also have a champion juicer that I use for wheat grass that I germinate indoors and for making fresh cider at harvest. I love fresh raw juice, too but I do preserve lots of steamed juice and drink it all winter. There are benefits to each type. Fresh juices won't keep but they are healthier. Steamed juices keep much longer but have virtually no enzymes. Steam Juices still retain a lot of nutrients and enable the average person to preserve their own at home.

[MyNaturesArt]

You have all the cool crap, I dont...:(

[EdentiaFarms]

@MyNaturesArt

LOL, come on over! We'll have a harvest party!

[mjone135]

You come with something different all of the time and I appreciate that! This was great to see the process. Makes me want to try it one day!

[EdentiaFarms]

@mjone135

Glad you enjoyed the video! You should try it sometime if you can. There's nothing like enjoying food you have grown, prepared and/or preserved yourself. There are no sweeteners or preservatives in my home canned juice.

And, it can be cheaper, too. The first year for me was expensive to buy all the stuff but now I save money every year. This yr I am buying a pressure canner whereas in the past I would just borrow one so I can do veggies, beans or meat/fish.

[Seedcovers]

Wow can juice, thats pretty cool. Tomatoes look interesting. I was looking into long term food storage, a while back and saw some can chicken! I couldnt believe it.,

[EdentiaFarms]

@Seedcovers My mother in law cans chicken. You need a pressure canner for that. It also keeps for a long time.

[stonehill599]

Wonderful video, Bonnie.... I'm going to have to check out the steamer. I'm fairly new to canning but you made it seem so easy to do juices and I'm sure they taste awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[elohelreh]

you definitely deserve those awards - this is great!

[EdentiaFarms]

@elohelreh thank you!

[vlvtvc]

Thank you! This is great! I am not new to canning, but I have never heard of a steam juicer. I have to look into getting one. Every time I heard another jar seal I got so giddy...lol. I can hardly wait for our pears to be ready for preserving and juicing in the next month or so.

[EdentiaFarms]

@vlvtvc When it comes to juicing, the steam juicer is the easiest way to get through lots of fruit. I love that there is no pitting, peeling, seed removal etc.

Look more into it. It's also very healthy and makes perfect juice with great clarity and usually no or very little pulp.

[vlvtvc]

@EdentiaFarms Woo Hoo! Just bought the same juicer for $49.99 including shipping on ebay. Happy Happy Joy Joy ;-D There were 5 more left if anyone wants the link. Thanks again for this awesome video Bonnie.

[EdentiaFarms]

@vlvtvc

I'm Jealous! I thought the Amazon price was pretty good, too compared to what I paid last yr. I paid almost double but good for you! I noticed a lot more kitchen gadgets are on sale this year compared to last year. Hoping I can get a pressure canner for a good deal. And then I swear the sales change everyday on Amazon lol. I have been checking pressure canner prices daily haha... I just KNOW there will be a deal soon =)

[EdensSecret1]

Always something different to watch with you, lots of good helpful information.

[EdentiaFarms]

@EdensSecret1 Thanks! :) I enjoy your channel also!

[805Soap]

Very nice video you are amazing congrats on winning very exciting...I have seen them at fairs never knew how it was made. You are blessed to live on a farm and have all fresh fruit and veggies.

[EdentiaFarms]

@805Soap

Go to your local farmers markets. I tell ya, you can get lots of produce, fresh local and cheap! Also, I have traded soap for produce in the past. Never hurts to ask!

[abreathoffrenchair]

Very interesting! I didn't know how juice was made! Thanks for sharing!

[mrscrafty100]

Very interesting video Bonnie! Now you have me wanting to give it a go! =)

[EdentiaFarms]

@mrscrafty100 It's fun, yet hard work. Buying all the equipment is kind of expensive the first year but after that you can really start saving on your food bill and getting the best. IDK if I said this in the video but the Jars and rings are reusable. The only thing that needs to be replaced year after year is the round flat gummed lids.

[123pivot456]

I love the videos oh and I have chickens now :)

[EdentiaFarms]

@123pivot456 awesome. Chickens are so much fun.
