Alana, congratulations on this informative, historical video of your Aunt June. I talked with her tonight, and she mentioned what you had done. I'm now subscribed. ❤ donna

So you have raisins?

No shortening, please.

We call it bun in Jamaica it goes great with cheddar cheese

In allllll of my research i learned this: blanching is needed for veggies you will freeze for long term freezer storage for (more than several months), to reduce how fast the skin and nutrients break down. If you are going to freeze things and use them quickly within maybe a month (educated guess), you do not need to blanch. All of the vegetable-garden-harvesting families on youtube will always say to blanch before freezing. But they are harvesting large amounts of vegetables to freeze. They will not be using it all quickly, but to store away long term and eat over about 9 months until next years harvest. They need to blanch before freezing to maintain its integrity while being in the freezer for so long. I appreciate the experiment but it would make more sense to test frozen veggies that have been sitting in the freezer for 6 months - 12 months

Thank you for sharing the memories 🥰

What a treat to listen to the memories, and the recipe. Thank you!

I just bought a Stihl S55R and haven’t had a weed wacker for years. I thought I’d refresh my memory and found your video clear and accurate. Not in a rush. Thanks!

Thank you Alana for sharing all your aunts wonderful memories and honoring veterans. Your cake looks delicious ❤

Thanks for the memories Alana.

Happy Veteran's Day to y'all also pretty, young lady! What a great blessing to be able to reminisce with your Aunt. Great video. Thank you for sharing and we look forward to her co-hosting with ya. God bless her and all y'all!

Alana thank you for a lovely video, another yummy recipe what a great cake 🎂. Thank you for sharing your Aunts stories with us wonderful memories. A very special lady your very lucky. Thank you so much for sharing this with us take care and be safe 👍 😊.

So many memories in this that are familiar for me too. My mom and her friend Alma (our neighbour and my godmom who married a Canadian soldier and moved here after the war) used to sing We’ll Meet Again and many other Vera Lynn songs. I can’t hear them without thinking of her. Alma also taught me to iron when I was 6! I lost my Mom in 2020 and miss her every day. Thank you for giving me a moment to remember her and my God Mom ❤ Bless your sweet Aunt for these stories ❤ PS if you bake the cake in a loaf pan you can call it bread and eat it for breakfast 😊

Glad you started making videos again! Looks like I have a few to catch up :)

Wonderful memories! Thank you for sharing!

Video not loadng

Great video! Watched a few times figure this out

Thank you so much for this video and information! We are loving learning all the things about the garden and very interested in all seed saving. Hope your day is blessed!

TH-cam dropped your video in the sidebar and we are so grateful to find you!! This video was great and full of so much helpful information.We have carrots still in the garden in Ky and good to know they need a couple of frosts. So interesting that leaving the turnips another month made such a difference. Thank you for sharing your information and beautiful garden!! I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.

We used to pull ours from the garden, brush the soil off, and eat right there. All the minerals from the soul into the body. So good.

I make mine with only maple syrup, but great video!!

Our one shows to start each string on opposite sides of the spool

Hi Alana awesome video thanks. I can smell those beautiful carrots 🥕 from here. Plantings like that on a raised bed is how all the commercial growers do carrots in the UK. All your vegetables look amazing, it's great going out to the garden and picking fresh vegetables yummy 😋. We are having carrots and swede for tea tonight black pepper and a nob of butter 🧈 😋. Thanks again take care and stay safe 👍 😊.

I was interested in blanching because I Did not blanch mine and they were so hard and chewy . I will try blanching

Thanks Alana! I really enjoyed your tour of your beautiful garden and watching you harvest the carrots and turnips! Thank you for sharing!

Great harvest!

Those are some beautiful carrots! Great idea to hill up the dirt. Thank you Alana😊

Your carrots are beautiful

Nice video Alana. Everything looks good 👍 Take care and have a blessed and safe week

Your carrots looked really good. Nice Harvest!

I remember your Mom's toffee and candy fondly. Thanks for this, my friend. Made me smile thinking about all the memories as kids. Looks so delish.

Would this work with maple syrup in place of corn syrup? Sounds fabulous!

Hi Alana excellent video again thank you. It's like watching a chemistry lesson when you tested the baking soda 😅. It's so fascinating to watch everything transform in the pan.That looks so yummy im sat here salivating. Take care and have a awesome weekend 😊.

I haven’t made that for years. I think I’ll make a big batch for Christmas would be a great idea.

I love this kind of candy! Thank you for sharing😊

I have that same type of thread, it was my grandmothers. The peppers look so pretty strung up. Thank you Alana 😊

Nice video Alana. Looks delicious 😋

Thanks for your video!

Oh my soul.... y'all are adorable! I can hear him now. " Hello hon.....oh, we have guests for supper?.....how long are they gonna reside on the dining room table?" Lol

My mother made crabapple jelly. It was my favorite out of all the jellies she made. So glad you’re back!!

I have a big bowl of hot peppers, this video is a big help on how to dry them. Any suggestions on what to do with green cayenne peppers that didn’t get a chance to ripen?

Hi Alana excellent video again thank you for sharing. Stringing the peppers looks like a labour of love, but sitting in the sun 🌞 makes it all worthwhile. The chickens 🐔 walking past checking if you are okay priceless, the Cockerel looks beautiful. Hope you all are doing well take care and stay safe 👍 😊.

good test I just blanched some next time Ill just skip it and see how it goes. thx again.

Nice video and good job Alana. See some chili and salsa in the future. Take care and have a blessed and safe week

Thanks Alana. This looks delicious and healthy

Thanks 🙏

Looks great! I'm buyin if you'll sell some. And the jalapeno jelly would sell even faster? Lol (I'll even ship y'all some jalapenos from down here in Texas) 🤠

Looks delish!!!

I’m so happy you’re back! I always enjoy your videos! You explain everything so well! Suzanne from Toronto

Hi Alana excellent video again thank you. You do a great job explaining the various stages ive never had apple 🍎 jelly but it sure looks yummy. We do forage in hedgerows for apple's to do Sue's favorite apple sauce. We also collect damsons and make jam yummy, im sure it tastes better when you have foraged for it .Thanks again for taking the time to share your tips take care and be safe 👍 😊.
