I remember when my mom would come in from work and cook supper then she would make homemade jelly and pear preserves. 🍐 Those were truly the good ole days. I'll soon be 70 years old so ot has been a few years. Loved watching y'all do this.

Brings back great memories. When I was a kid(9 or 10), we had a bunch of family visiting. There were about 12-15 people in the basement playing pool. My grandmother had been frying apple pies and had a whole platter of them-There had to be at least 30-40 pies on this platter. She said "Take em some pies, son" so I took the whole platter to the basement and 5 mins later brought back an empty platter. "Lord have mercy. They done ate all my pies" 😀

Canning is a lot of work but it's worth the effort! You can't buy jelly in a store that is as good as this homemade delight. When the canning is complete, I love to just gaze on the beauty of newly filled jars and think about how good that jelly in going to taste on a hot biscuit in the dead of winter! Good job, girls!

I have a great story about apple peelings like those. I got some wild apples from a friend and made several pies. I used to 1 of those little apple machines like you have. And with the peelings I went outside and put them in the horses feed buckets. They came out and sure enough it looked like they were eating spaghetti. Mama and I just rolled laughing. Thank you for reminding me of that memory

Shes a true chef. Eats while processing the food. Lolololo

What a wonderfully frugal trick! Thank you. I'm glad Corrie is helping & learning 1st hand how to do all the preserving -- good memories and knowledge.

Apple jelly mixed with Heinz chili sauce makes a terrific sauce for meatballs, sausages, or little Smokies.

My Louisianna Grandma would peel, slice and sugar a whole wash tub full of pears and cover them with a cloth and set them on the kitchen table overnight, for making pear preserves the next day. She went to bed before dark, so we would crawl into the kitchen very quietly and eat some of the pears. She heard us on our second trip, because her bedroom was off the kitchen, and yelled at us to stop eating the pears LOL But I loved their crunchy raw sweetness. Great Memory 🥰

I make my fruit butters and sauces and jellies at the end of September. I truly enjoy these projects because they remind me of my mother and grandmothers—working together, talking together, laughing together and singing together. I was truly blessed!

I love seeing how you don't waste a thing! As hard times are on their way, we have to think like that. Sadly, age has caught up with me and RA hinders me so the days of preserving and long time at the stove are over. BUT I'm pretty good at freezing stuff. Thank you for sharing your ways with us as it is such a comfort.

I remember running those rivers in southeast Texas looking for muscadines to make jelly. We didn't have much, but we had each other and that was enough. Keep passing that knowledge on down. I love these videos.

That apple peeler sure is a time saver!

Watching you two in the kitchen takes me back to when I was a kid picking apples off my grandmother's apple trees and bringing them into her kitchen to be peeled and cored (all by hand of course). It's awesome to see these traditions being passed down and celebrated by your channel. Love your videos.

Peach peeling also make a good jam or preserve but I’ve yet to try the apple peels. Thanks for sharing!

I remember my Mama made a delicious apple pie and she took the peelings and cores and made apple jelly just like you have done, it was the best and so was she! ❤️🍃🌷🍃

[joeyhardin]

Thank you. My grandmother (Mom), taught her girls to to that, they only had 3 girls. I am the oldest grandson and I am the only one that cans in the family. Thanks for the memories. Love my peeler and corer!!! God Bless and stay safe.

[skokianable]

I love apple jelly but haven't been able to find it in the grocery stores for years. I'm going to have to try this when our apples come in. The fact that you used the peels and cores for zero waste is brilliant!

[Jevea]

This made me cry happy tears remembering helping my MawMaw make apple jelly. I can still smell and taste it. How I wish I had a jar of it and a biscuit. Beautiful memory.

[kimj.becker]

Thank you for making the apple jelly. I never thought of making it using scraps but it makes perfect sense. And with the inflation so bad we need to use everything

[sandrapeffly]

I just love seeing you in the kitchen with your daughter. Some of my favorite memories are those spent with my own daughter cooking and baking. Great idea to not let scraps to waste. I love your videos!
