I Can't Believe My Garden Had This MANY Vegetables to Pickle Already

Pickling vegetables does an awesome job of enhancing the flavors and extending their shelf-life. One of the coolest things about pickling is all the different ingredients you can add to completely change up the flavor profile of each thing.

Great primer on canning/pickling Billy! Always enjoy your presentations. Glad to see your garden so fruitful!

When preserving fruits or vegetables with water-canning methods, it's critical that you sterilize the glass jars in any situation where the canning recipe calls for less than 10 minutes of processing time in a boiling water canner. If the water-canning method calls for more than 10 minutes of processing time in boiling water, experts say that this will fully sterilize the jars without any need for early sterilization. Nor is it necessary to sterilize jars that will be used in a pressure canner. This method, too, uses very high heat that will sterilize the glass jars, making pre-sterilization unnecessary.

It is important NOT to boil the metal canning lids or their rings. The extreme heat of boiling water can harm the rubber sealing rings on the lids, which can result in a broken seal and contamination of the jar's contents. And the rings never come in contact with the food.

Billy, great to see that you included your parents in the video. For many chefs and at home chefs, their passion for cooking came from cooking with their parents.

Nice harvest! The beets are beautiful, and the carrots are gorgeous. A home-grown carrot tastes so much better than store bought. I think you'd enjoy dilly green beans. Give them a try sometime if you haven't already.

We also pickled okra with just a little bit of "heat" to it. Delicious 😋

I was the canning queen on my block back in the day. I always boiled my jars/lids, etc. before canning or pickling. Dishwashers get pretty hot and will kill a lot of bacteria but not all. Mom is right.

A Ball canning book is a good investment I don't can without it. you can't beat the flavor from your own garden.

I have a bunch of green beans from a friend of mine who has a garden. I think I'll first go to the store to get beets as well though and do some pickling. My husband and I LOVE pickled anything, so this will be fun.
PS- I am glad you listened to your mom....

Some 30 years ago my parents had a German Shepherd that would sneak into my Dad’s garden and pull carrots. He ran around the yard looking like he had a big cigar with greens in his mouth! Soak up all of the knowledge that your parents have. I disliked gardening and weeding, but loved the fresh vegetables. There is nothing like fresh picked steamed blue lake pole beans coated with butter!

Learned a lot from this.

I must say that it felt like John Oliver was teaching me how to pickle.
