That was very inspiring, interesting and informative. Thank you. I am just starting out on 26 acres so your experience is very helpful. My daughter also has just bought 25 acres so I will pass it on to her also. Being organized makes a huge difference.

Love this!!

Use in your hot toddy😊

Very helpful share😊

You can take those peels and candy them if you wanted to, to eat when you are over you're cold. I like home remedies. I'm saving your video in case I catch a cold and I will try this recipe. Thank you for sharing. ✨👍

I’m gonna make some of this. I got cranberries on clearance for .25 a bag. I usually just put them in sugar and freeze to add to my drinks.

Hi from south Africa...I like your pans..will you send me a gift of them...the cake looks great I need to start my own business...especially wedding cakes and birthdays ...thanks for sharing...

Culver's butterbugers brought me to this well explained video

It is on my to do, but....... got about 100 things on that list. 😊

Brilliant, I always am impressed how wedding cakes can be done so beautifully.

Gotta say that I think there may be an easier method of waxing, and that is to perhaps use a smaller pot (or more wax) and hold the cheese vertically, and so dip half the cheese into the wax. You then allow the wax to harden and then dip the half you have not yet dipped , and you repeat that process two or three times to wax the entire cheese two or three times. Alternatively, if the cheese wheel is not really large you can hold the cheese between your fingers of one hand at the center and revolve the cheese slowly so that the wax coats the circumference of the cheese back to front and then you might brush the cheese with a natural haired paintbrush so that the top is completely waxed and then the bottom is waxed once the top has hardened/dried. Either method means that your hands, even if gloved, never touch the hot wax. The other thing you might do is use parchment paper rather than a cooling tray on your cookie sheet. The wax won't stick to the parchment paper and the paper will not create the indents that the rack does on the wax. Last point. If you have waxed the cheese, the humidity is the humidity INSIDE the wax sealant. You really do not need to monitor the humidity of your "cheese cave", and that wax will keep trapped any and all moisture that is in your cheese.

Can you use sugar substitute like Splenda

I think you’re pretty much a meat expert….lol

We love making our own sausage too, but sadly, we don’t raise pigs, so we either grind commercial pork or purchase ground pork to make our sausage. Like you, we love being able to customize the spices and control the amount of salt. Do what you can to make improvements to your diet - right? Thank you for sharing how easy it is to make a superior sausage. Well done.

What's good about this recipe you don't need to raise a pig to get this delicious sausage ,you can get it from your local store and add the ingredients I am at an age and where I live I can't raise a pig but I can use this recipe with plain ground sausage from the store I'd rather know what ingredients goes into my meat Thank you for sharing ! I will be giving this a try but with less ground sausage for it is just my husband and I

How many eggs?

Interesting video. Havarti is a cheese I have yet to try, but here's a simple trick you can use when making washed curd cheeses like havarti or gouda: if you place the strainer you used later in the video (around 12 minutes) as the tool to separate the curds from the whey, you can more easily remove the whey without any fear of removing any curds. You simply scoop the whey from the strainer that you insert into the whey. The other trick you can use is to add some cold water if the temperature of the curds and whey goes higher than the maximum temperature you want (was it 97F? ) Simply replace all the whey with water at 130 F and if it's too hot, add cold water. If the temperature is too cold you can add some hotter water. The key processes are that you want to wash the curds so that the culture you added at the start are inhibited from transforming the lactose (sugars) in the milk into lactic acid: the more lactic acid there is in a cheese, the sharper the cheese will taste. The heat also tends to force more whey from the curds. This makes for a more firm cheese at the end of the day.

I LOVVEE RUSSIAN TEA CAKES

Gotta say this video is very inspiring to me. The struggle is real….to others as well as myself. I too have lots of dead to remove and weeds to pull and mulching to mulch. I too have lost roses but for me it was opposite season: we had temps of 120 degrees here in Northern California in July 2024. I lost an own root Alchemyste and Buff Beauty as well as newly planted in the spring Baronne Prèvost and Honorine de Brabant. I also lost a grafted climbing Golden Opportunity. All others made it but look a little worse for wear. I hope I can get out there in yard in January and February 2025 to do a good clean up. It seems we have a lot of varieties in common too. Just subscribed. I look forward to seeing your progress on their recoveries. Thanks for bravely posting an imperfect but still beautiful rose garden here on YT.

I got ocean spray organic 'frozen" cranberries this year.

You have a beautiful home, made even more so, with your Christmas decorations!! Thanks for the tour! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Love how many ornaments you have that represent special memories or stories. ❤

Magical ❤️

Beautiful.

Lovely space. The memories from each piece is obviously precious to you❤ thank you for sharing a bit of it😊

Love this idea

You are a very busy woman!!! I don’t know how you find time to do all the things.

Hi, This is your most recent video I could find, and I want to ask you a question because you just seem to know all the different things that I like in life.❤ I always loved eating sour buckwheat pancakes. They're very thin. I have not been able to find out how to make the starter from buckwheat. My dear friend Lena passed away and she gave me the starter recipe. If you happen to have the recipe I would really appreciate if you would share it.

Mmmmmmm. Sold, I’m going to make these.

My mom used to make Vienna tarts but her recipe called for cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. Since I can't find her recipe, do you think it would be okay to just substitute and equal amount of cottage cheese for the cream cheese? Thanks.

Last year I bought cranberries after Christmas because they were 1.00 a package at that time and since I live alone I wanted small jars 4oz so I could enjoy them all year long I am happy to say it was a big success and will repeat it this year. ❤❤❤

I like this vid a lot! One thing I would do is to explain how to put the disk in the food mill. The rough side goes up! A lot of people get that wrong.

The threads on the jar are made at specific measurements that correspond to headspace for various canning recipes. Just fill to the correct thread

We don’t do the canned stuff at our house. I make cranberry sauce with water, cranberries, orange juice freshly squeezed, orange zest, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and a half cup of red wine, or two shots of a black cherry whiskey. I let it just simmer on my stove until it thickens stirring occasionally. Measurements all depend on how tart the cranberries are and how many I’m cooking for. We love the chunky remnants of the popped berries. I can’t wait to try your cranberry butter!!!! This looks amazing!

MERRY CHRISTMASS~ ❤

There is such a thing as organic cranberries. I find them in Trader Joes or Kroger in my area.

You made this process less scary! I am going to try it! You are a great teacher.

I asked for a recipe withou dill but now u add dill very confusing

neat

Helping my mom with canning has given me heat resistance, as my boyfriend likes to say. Heating the lids and cleaning the rims of the bottles with boiling water. The magnet trick tho is super cool

Whyis this called butter not jam

😊wowzer! I've never made that candy before. I'll have to give it a try😊

If you have one near you, Trader Joe’s has organic cranberries.

Never thought of cranberry butter. I've made pear butter & pumpkin butter. Both very delicious. 😊

excellent video & I wish I could taste it right now!

Would you mind sharing the quantities and the recipe?

I put my rings and lid in the dishwasher, and they come out hot . I just then pull them out and place them on jars . I can with water baths. I have my mom's food mill. I only use it for concord Grape jelly. I use to make a cranberry/ apple chutney years ago. I can soups and spaghetti sauce. I love to can. I always make candy and my Swiss grandmother's cookies and give away for the holidays. I am going to make this to use as hostess gifts.
