Homestead Series How To Can Cherry Pie Filling

[chivone21]

If there are bubbles coming out of those bottles, that will tell me that air is coming out, and water is going in! Am I wrong on this? I've seen this before, and I would think that my bottles are "leaking".  Also, where do you buy those bulk pitted cherries like that, and what was that gel you are using? I've never heard of it.

Thanks

I wished we were neighbors. I have learned and grown up with family members in my family, who activly canned and bringing in our harvest this way. This is now what I am doing for my tiny 2 family home. I can in the blessings of our harvest. I do not know what went wrong, but my 86 onions this year did not grow. We had a terribly rainy spring. Any ideas about onions?Why do you take the rings off? I leave my on? Is this wrong to leave them on?

God bless you and your family. I love your videos and the simplicity of your life. I wish it was possible to live like this in England but property prices are so huge it will always be a dream

Can you make a video on how you use this cherry pie filling.  Maybe a pie :)

[Polypropellor]

I am completely charmed. You are so pleasant and at rest with your canning.

I am going to try it for my family. What wonderful gifts it will make.

Thank you very much.

One small tip I found this year. I have very hard water also and my jars where coming out dusty white. But I found out that if I put a few tablespoons of vinegar in the canning water before I add the jars, the jars come out clear and clean looking.

It is really not a big deal, but this year I have clear jars. It is good if you are gifting your canning.

I never knew you should take the rings off. No wonder my rings often have a little rust. Thanks for that tip.

Why do the lids have to come off?

[HomesteadAcres]

The rings can trap moisture and cause the lids to rust. Its the lids not the rings that seal the jar. Also you can reuse the rings, so taking them off means you need to buy less of them.

Thanks for the info!

Very inspiring.

Self-sufficiency is the way to go.

Thanks, we sure do appreciate your vids and in these trying times we should all opt for as much self-sufficiency as we can.

Oh boy will that cherry pie taste good on a snowy, cold evening this winter!! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I've never done cherry pie filling. Seems like the acid content would be too low for water bath canning.

[HomesteadAcres]

Actually it's really no different then cherry jam. The recipe is from a government tested kitchen I left the link in the side bar. You can find similar recipes in many canning books. The difference is most of them use corn starch instead of clear jell. So they have you leave it out and add it just before you bake the pie.

I've been making it for a few years and so far no problems. Well except keeping enough of oh hand, everyone likes it so much. lol :-p
