Welcome to Grow and Preserve. I'm Carter, and I'm thrilled you're here. We cover several topics here. I hope you'll join the conversation so we can all learn from each other.
Gardening, specifically growing food. I have a tiny suburban lot with 8 raised beds and a few barrels and pots. Just over 250 square feet produce a ton of food!
Preserving. Growing the food is only half the battle. Eating fresh from the garden is great, but we also want to preserve our harvests (or farmer's market or grocery store hauls) for later in the year. We can can it. We can freeze it. We can ferment it. We can dehydrate it. We'll do all of that together.
Building a Well Stocked Pantry. How many meals can you make from your pantry (including fridge and freezer) right now? How long will this last you? If the power goes out, can you still keep your food fresh? Can you still cook your food? A deep and broad working pantry can make your life so much easier. Let's stock our pantries together!
xoxo,
Carter

Re-designing the Kitchen to Maximize Workspace and Storage
The kitchen updates are finally done. We've added workspace, a ton of storage and updated the look and feel. Thank you so much for your brilliant suggestions along the way. I hope you love it as much as I do!

what do you consider your can turkey storage for ? 1-4 years ? vs if you would have freeze dried it ?
I'M A NEWBIE PRESSURE CANNER. DID JUST WATER-BATH PICKLED STUFF MOSTLY. BOUGHT MYSELF A PRESSURE CANNER. HAVE A BIG LIST OF THINGS TO CAN. ONE THING I ALWAYS DID WATER BATH CANNING-I PUT DOWN ON MY COUNTER A DOGGIE PEE-PEE PAD. IT SAVED A LOT OF CLEAN UP AND MESS. GREAT ADVICE CARTER. THANK YOU.
Good for Lizzie❤️
1/2 cup uncooked beans is a lot in a pint jar with such a thick sauce. Seems like the sauce should have been thinner for those. Beans are funny. They continue to absorb liquid over time as they sit on the shelf after processing. Maybe consuming them within a month or so, it would be ok, but I would make the chili thinner for long term storage. Looking forward to trying this recipe. Bet it will have a fab depth of flavor. Thank you for posting!
Not approved method of canning please check USDA on canning.
How delightful!!! I'm so happy for you!!! It's an amazing kitchen and I'm a bit envious! But you certainly deserve it. I enjoy your artful cooking. You are amazing!!!
I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. IT'S MUCH MORE FUNCTIONAL. CONGRATS CARTER.
Add lime juice and it will brighten the taste and add acidity
Carter, after peeling your onion, rinse it under cold water before you start chop it and it will help with the tears just a tip
Thanks, Diane.
my favorite soup of all time homemade vegetable soup when you’re canning you have a handful of this and a handful of that you don’t have enough for a jar but it would overfill your jars so I take all that and leftover chuck roast and ground beef browned and I make homemade vegetable soup, tomatoes, carrots, peas, potatoes, lima beans, green beans, sliced okra, cabbage, onions, Canelli beans, pinto beans, corn and me, and my husband can take that and fix a pan of homemade cornbread and make a meal and then I freeze the leftovers or can it and I have soup all through the winter and into the spring on into the summer if I want it and we love it
I just recently found your channel so I’m going back and watching your videos, I canned bacon today! I do half pints as it’s just me
Woohoo! I love having canned bacon the shelf.
I have some family members who are vegetarian, could this be done with something like impossible burger? Or does anyone know?
Interesting question to which I have no definitive answer. However, I will say that in looking at the ingredients in an impossible burger, I have never seen the vast majority of them in any canning recipe. Perhaps you could lean more toward something like taco seasoned black beans?
@@growandpreserve that’s a great idea.
JUST MADE THIS YESTERDAY. I WOULD CALL BALLS VERSION OF ENCHILADA SAUCE GOOD CANTINA STYLE SALSA. IT IS MUCH TOO DENSE TO BE CALLED ENCHILADA SAUCE EVEN THOUGH THE FLAVOR IS THERE. NO REFLEXSION ON YOU CARTER, YOU ARE A WONDEFUL TEACHER AND PRESERVER. I HAVE A LONG LIST OF YOUR RECIPES TO DO.
Good input, Suzie. Thanks for reporting back.
THANK YOU. THE BEST THING YOU DID WITH BALLS RECIPE WAS STRAIN IT. IT IS PERFECT! MY JARS ARE LABELED "SALSA". LOL! HAD TO TRY IT OUT THOUGH.
PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPS-IT'S WHAT I SEE BEST. I HAVE AN OLD BALL CANNING BOOK WITH THE RECIPE TO BRINE AND CAN CORNED BEEF. I DON'T KNOW THE COPY DATE BECAUSE THE COVER PAGE IS MISSING. MY POINT IS-APPARENTLY IT WAS SAFE TO CAN CORN BEEF AT ONE TIME. I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND PLAN ON MAKING SOME OF YOUR WONDERFUL PRESERVED RECIPES. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
Interesting! Thanks for the info, Suzie.
I buy 8-10 turkeys during thanksgiving when they go on sale for .99 cents a pound.. break them down.. can the white meat and turn all the dark meat into canned dog food for my baby! I will be buying a second freezer come July but love LOVE having turkey in the pantry! Especially your chicken *(I use roasted turkey instead) corn chowder recipe
You must have a very happy dog! I also love having turkey on the shelf. Do you raw pack or can the cooked meat? So glad you like the corn chowder recipe! I bet it's great with turkey.
@@growandpreserve I usually can the cooked meat.. that way I get more off the bones and a great broth to can it in.. I will bake off or smoke the breasts in our smoker.. but the dark meat gets boiled !
I had to use my phone in order to comment. I'm 76 and I absolutely love your videos. I was at my grocers at 7:30 a.m.picking up my orders for 30 pounds of chicken and a case of sweet corn. My family and friends do not get how much pleasure comes from the experience of preserving delicious, important staples for meals that won't ruin during power outages. You do an outstanding job. Thanks for sharing and entertaining the rest of us.🎉❤😊
You made me smile, Jessica! Sometimes we just have to hang out with our own kind, don't we? Most of my friends don't get it either. So glad to have you with me. Enjoy your canning!
I really LOVE LOVE LOVE the update.
Thank you!
I’ll set mine on a towel or I put it on a trivet scares me to put a hot pan on my counters
Yep!
such great ideas. i want to do them all. gosh, i enjoy your videos. very inspirational.
Thank you so much, Liz! Good to have you here!
I am LOVING the updates to your kitchen! So functional! It's obvious you put quite a bit of thought into the process. And though I was sad to see your farmhouse island go, I'm so happy to see it being used in a whole new way. Awesome job! Absolutely beautiful!
Hey, Lois! Good to see you. So glad you like the updates. (And glad you approve of the repurposing of the farm table!)
@@growandpreserve Not that you needed my "approval". :D But seriously, I love it! You did great! I have been busy growing and preserving. I have 34 tomato plants that are keeping me busy. Harvested my biggest tomato ever yesterday (1.5 lbs). The okra is really showing out. Peppers got a late start, but now that the heat is upon us, they're thriving. Cucumbers and squash have done well, but are slowing down now. A friend gifted us with fresh corn and speckled butterbeans, so this past weekend was all about preserving those. Blanched and froze the beans; canned the corn (46 pints, plus more for eating this week). So thankful for it all!
@@blessedbeyondmeasure318 Wow! You have been busy, Lois! So glad you're having such a productive Summer so far. Congrats on that whopper of a tomato!
LOVE the tip about keeping the half pints from floating! I learn something new every time I watch a video.
Glad it helps!
*Now I feel confident in stocking up on keto essentials. Thanks for the detailed guide!*
My pleasure. Welcome!
I bet those first two would be good with kale instead of spinach, just to change it up a bit if you wanted.
Yes! Or collards also work great in them.
Carter, I would think you could use that dehydrated, pulp and chili or any kind of Mexican dish. It doesn’t necessarily have to be enchiladas. I tried it anyway.
Yes! It's so tasty, I think it will be good in most things.
So nice! I'd love to know the paint color on your cabinets. 🙂
It is Farrow and Ball School House White.
Hey Carter.. I would like one of those electric canners. I used your amazon link but when reading.. it says half pints and pints are only for water bathing?? Can you give me some clarity.. I was sure you have been pressure canning pints in that machine! * edited to add.. nevermind. I just bought one thru your amazon link! * I am sure I will figure it out with your help and videos! Thanks
You will LOVE it! Yes, you may pressure can quarts and smaller in it. as you've seen, I mostly can in pints in half pints. The water bath comment is just there to say that, if you also want to use for water bathing, it is not tall enough to have water cover quarts by at least an inch for water bath canning. I don't normally use mine as a water bath canner unless it happens to be out anyway. And thanks so much for using my link!
@@growandpreserve It came today!! My first try with it will probably be this enchilada sauce 💚💚
Wow, thanks for answering so quickly. Happy to know that you have made it with pork. That gives me ideas about how to use all this pork. I think I can make a few different recipes with my pork. I had the butcher cut up the roast into four pieces which makes it easier for me.
Be sure to let me know what you end up doing!
I am so excited! I just purchased pork butt for 99 cents a pound. I have 20 lbs. Have you ever made taco meat with pork? Thanks, Melodee
What a great deal, Melodee! I do make tacos with shredded pork quite often. Totally delish. I haven't canned it prepared with taco seasoning though. I bet it will be fantastic. Keep me posted!
I almost picked my banana peppers too early, also. Thank you for this video. It's perfect!
You are most welcome!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌
Thanks so much!
Too bad there is something wrong with your audio.
Hey, Chicago! So sorry you're having issues with audio. It's fine for me on multiple devices. Ideas?
Your kitchen looks amazing, I apsolutely love it! Carter, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, Lori! Have a wonderful week!
So absolutely beautiful and functional! I really love your appliance pantry.
Thank you, Kay!
Oh Carter it’s beautiful and very functional. So happy for you!
Thank you, Debbie!
Is that child yelling in the background?
That is my spoiled rotten cat!
I’m going to try making this
It's a good one, Kristy!
How did you make it easier to push through the strainer and still get thicker sauce?
I just got a better angle on it by moving it to a lower surface. It made a huge difference.
I am making your recipe now, the garlic isn't in the list of ingredients and I soaked the mangoes, when we add the mangoes do we use the liquid it soaked in?
Hey, Ginette. Sorry I'm just now seeing this. It looks like I forgot to write in the garlic. I will fix that. And yes, if the liquid in the mangoes is ACV, add it in.
That appliance pantry is genius! Especially with the electrical outlets.
Thank you, Donna! I'm so happy with it.
Oh Carter I'm so happy for you and David, but especially for you! You totally deserve this kitchen and oh my goodness, what a DREAM kitchen it is! How fabulous!!!!! Martha Stewart has nothing on you when it comes to how well you thought out each and every little detail of functionality within that space. I love it all! And much respect to the faux painter on the new kitchen island (which is amazing!), I am a faux paint artist, and so I know the amount of time and detail she had to have put in to achieve that look. Kudos to that lady, great job!! I love it all; from the drawer that holds your napkins, the new knife space, the white counter top, the brushed satin rose gold fixtures, vertical storage and all of your new appliances! You've got it all, sister! I'm so incredibly happy for you, but for all of us as well because we'll be able to enjoy this kitchen right along with you. Yay for us, too!❤ Thank you for the video. God is GOOD!
And ps, I don't know you're doing it, but you look amazing! Whatever it is, it's most certainly working.😊
It gets harder as we get older, doesn't it? Back to keto last December 1. It has taken so long this time!
Thank you so much, ArkansasSquaw. You are too sweet. I am pretty much a function/efficiency nerd. It drives poor David nuts sometimes, but he does say, "wow, this is easier" every time he wants to pull something out or put it away. As always, I am so appreciative to have you with me. Have a wonderful week!
@@growandpreserve you as well.🥰
Another one of your recipes I'm going to have to can up for taking on the road with me! Do you think Pineapple would substitute well for the mango?
I have never pressure canned pineapple, but I think it sounds delish. It's used in pressure canning sweet and sour chicken and seems to hold up well. I would definitely try it. If you do it, please let me know how you like it.
The amount of pork stays unchanged for 7pints?
I had a bit extra pork and a bit extra mango, which got me an extra pint.
It looks GREAT! Glad you LOVE it
Thankyou, Tammy!
In the planning stage of redoing my kitchen! Love all of your ideas! You never said what your new countertop for your island is made of - can you share that please?
Good timing! It's quartz. I think it's Valor White. Edit to add it's not Valor white. I included a link to the right one below.
Scrap my previous answer. This is the one I went with: www.daltile.com/products/Slab/ONE-Quartz-Stone-Look/White-Sand
WOW! Now it is the perfect kitchen for you. I am in love with the appliance pantry. They did a wonderful job.
Thank you so much, Cindy. They did a fantastic job!
