Amish canning Part 1-Water bath everything.

This video takes a look at traditional Amish canning, where everything is water bath canned — even meats — based on methods passed down through generations rather than modern USDA guidelines. It walks through how they handle different foods, their simple approach to ingredients, and how much of it comes down to experience, visual judgment, and routine instead of strict measurements. The bigger point isn’t to copy it blindly, but to show how self-reliance and long-standing practices have kept families fed for years, even if they don’t line up with today’s official recommendations.
