Canning Pumpkin Purée, Why I’m Comfortable Doing it!

[Sparkplug]

My grandparents & great-grandmother canned this and absolutely everything else long before there was any government agency created telling people that they could not can something. I've been canning for over 50 years, and nothing happened to any of our family and friends that ate our food

I the mid 70’s, I received a usda canning book as a wedding gift. It showed canning puréed pumpkin as an option. For 45 years, that is how I bottled my pumpkin. Imagine my surprise when I started watching YouTube videos a few years back- and I found out that I had been risking the lives of my family and friends for nearly half a century. How did we ever survive? 😵‍💫.

Lazy isn't a word I would use to describe you or your family. 😊 Working smart is always a great help.

I can’t thank you enough for bringing the “world of canning” to my level…I’m 63 years old and have never had the gumption to can anything on my own for fear of the dreaded “botulism, ” made even more scary by books and movies of an apocalyptic future, and the bygone days when “dented cans” were feared like the plague. Although I did finally buy the Ball Canning book, I found that it wasn’t really worth it because it was basically all recipes and very little basic “how to” on canning. Your past videos and today’s explanation really have helped not only to educate me, but also to alleviate my concerns - you truly have changed my world! Blessings to you and all the Zimmermans!

I appreciate you sharing your rationale behind how and why you can as you do.... I canned so much, freely, before I knew there were canning police and I'm giving myself permission to resume that freedom!

I love that you are teaching your children where their food comes from and how to preserve it. Plus the quality time he is getting with you.

You so deserve that award. Your honesty about your canning of squash is a prime example of why I watch your channel. Thank you for your hard work.

I am proud that there are still people in this world with common sense. It seems to be far and few between nowadays.

I learned to use an ice cream scoop from my grandma to scoop the seeds. It saved us MANY MANY bent spoons ❤

Ruthann you are such a joy and blessing to watch. I'm 76 and I learn so much from your ways. Congratulations on your award and God bless you and yours.

I just love you!! I seriously would love to just have a cup of coffee with you and be your homestead helper for a day!! You make me smile and your knowledge is of brilliance level. You are such a beautiful Soul. The world needs many more RuthAnn Zimmermans!!
I laugh every time you rinse a jar to get every drop of flavor or you scrape a bowl clean with a spatula to get every drop of ingredients. That is me to a tee!! I don't have a wasteful bone in my body. Nothing goes to waste in my home.
Congratulations on your new YouTube award. You say it's because of us, but, we wouldn't be watching if it weren't for you and your beautiful family.
Looking forward to every new video ... Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your old ways… I have been canning for years. I loved your video on canning pears. I have never been a fan of canned pears in the past. And I have a pear tree and hate to waste the ones we don’t eat fresh. However!!! Considering the way things are at the moment I decided to can them anyway. Well I did it your way and OMG THE BEST EVER! They are not mush, Thanks again for sharing. You are brilliant! 😊😉

I enjoyed this video so much without the music. Thank you for not adding it. It was a pleasure to see your reward plaque. :)

[Prezlsc]

You SO deserve the subscriber plaque award for all your hardwork, wisdom and teaching ❤ And always delivered with such a sweet spirit of joy!

You have got to be one of the most patient moms out there

another great squash meal is to dust those raw squash cubes in flour and salt and pepper, then fry in butter until browned and soft. This is an old depression meal and it’s so tasty. Hope you try it . Great video

Harrison sure does love his mommy. He gives you lots of hugs. What a sweetheart.
