can you guys do more cooking videos? something special about cooking with food that you harvested from your own garden. love your guys channel, you are inspirational
There's sure to be more!
I am not a homesteader, not a cook or baker at all....lol, I tease my husband that somehow I missed out when God was giving women all these gifts. I love watching cooking shows, baking shows and now homestead shows, just can't do any of them. I baked my first ever homemade rolls yesterday.....they are edible, not great obviously but not terrible. I love raspberry jam, so am very inspired that it looks like something I could try. Thank you so much for sharing these videos.
Way to get started! We all gotta start somewhere. Glad you enjoy the videos 😊
The Food Mill! Yes, thank you. I have a lot of raspberries in my freezer waiting …
Hi guys, My name is Lydia and I have a small homestead in New Zealand which we started 2 years ago. I have just started watching your videos this week and I have enjoyed everything I have watched so far. I have learnt so much, so just wanted to say a big thank you! :)
Hi Lydia! Glad you enjoy! Blessings on your homestead 😊
Michelle explains everything so clearly. In Germany they don't know anything about calcium in jam, so I'll have to look and see if I can find out something about it and buy it. Unfortunately I don't have that much space in the freezer, so I'll canning it anyway
Just gotta do what's best for you 😊
So happy that you have so much fruit from your fruit garden, it's amazing that you make strawberry flavored jam ❤❤❤
I am beginning my process on getting land and starting a homestead for me and my family. At 28 years old I was diagnosed with a rare condition with my kidneys and iv learn that changing my life style and eating habits can actually help the condition I have so me and my husband who has lived on a homestead once before have decided to take this life style on and find you guys have been an absolute blessing and the best part is my name is Michelle as well 😂
Hi Michelle! 😊 I’m glad to hear the direction you’re going, and I really hope it helps on your healing journey. Stress plays a major role in health so don’t let yourself get too stressed out getting started with the homestead 😉 Blessings!
Thank you for sharing, Michelle!!
Y'all are so wonderfully authentic and informative, perfect. Good Luck with this years garden. And Yes being vigilant with picking keeps the pests at bay. I beat the birds to the blueberries in the morning and evening and I walk away with a lot more. Keep up the good work, and we all look forward to your progress this year!
Thank you! You too!
I loved your video on making the raspberry jam. Thanks to your information on the pectin to use, I now have a way to make better jam with less sugar. You and your husband are a delight to watch! And your children too! This great grandma loves your videos!
Thanks Irva!
Such good idea, taking most of the pits out and yes raspberry jam turns into this most amazig color when you add the sugar. Love that magic moment too
I cannot get enough of your content! Love it!! Where do you purchase your teas from? In a previous video you clipped some and I am wondering if you have a preferred vendor?
So glad! Are you talking about the tea plants? We got them from a local greenhouse. Berlin Seeds has them too.
So thoroughly enjoyed this video- while I'm not quite to the level that you are ,Michelle, I really appreciate the time and dedication involved! You both rock, - oh and btw, I love it that you don't include all your kids' as a focus in your videos. I love kids too, but I think you're smart in the way you present yourself and your family. We've all seen how people profit from their kids in videos and I just think you've done it right!!! Garden on!
Thank you! Yes, we’ve made a conscious effort to be careful with how we show our kids.. we didn’t start out that way, but we’ve come to realize that it would be better for our children.
Wow! That's a lot of raspberries ❤
Michelle, would love your butternut squash pie recipe for the fall time.
We're planning to do a Thanksgiving meal video, and it'll be in there!
Alabama enjoys your channel.
If anyone has ever canned jams and jellies, they are not shocked by how much sugar goes on to them. I am so excited by the Pomona pectin so we do not need as sugar. You do such an awesome job in the kitchen. Well and everywhere. You guys are wonderful!
I LOVE watching you guys! Your garden is amazing.
I like my homemade raspberry jam with the seeds in. 😅
Hi, guys. My name is Kim smith, lm from Australia, Michelle, your jam is the best version, lts fabulous, l love you guys and watch all your posts, I'm new so I'm going back to the beginning keep it up
Hi Kim 😊 I hope you don’t cringe too much watching our earlier videos 😉
Looks delicious! I can’t wait for our berries to start growing so that we can start making jams. We just used up our last jar that I had canned.
So delicious 🤤
Great instructional vids . Thanks . Enjoy you beautiful harvest .
This was great can’t wait to try this recipe!!!
That looks so delicious!!!
Your are awesome And I have learned so much from you, food mill after the food processor. Doing that next year !!
Canning jams and jellies was what I started out with. From that I went to fruits. One summer I went through 150 pounds of sugar following the regular pectin boxes. I now use the same pectin you are using and it tastes amazing. I do can mine with a water bath so that it is shelf stable.
So much sugar! 😂 Canning is a good way to go too.
@@morethanfarmers I feel like I just stored the sugar in a different way. Or that is what I keep telling people when they look at me like I am crazy!
Totally agree ....get those seeds out! ❤
Well explained , it's a great video
We aren’t a big jam family but I use my raspberries to make syrup. We use it in tea, lemonade, my son takes some for mixed drinks and also on pancakes.
Raspberry jam is my favorite. Raspberry canned fruit is so good - served with a little cream of course!! LOL. I freeze all my berries I plan on making into jam and then make my jam when the snow flies. Certainly saves time in the busy summer. Looks so good Ma'am! Good video!
That’s the way to go!
Love your channel
I love raspberries!
Sugar especially refined, high processed absolutely causes inflammation in the body. I went from arthritis like symptoms to pain free in 1 year, by elimination of such sugars and sweeteners. It true.
You got it! We stay away from highly processed sugar, and only use raw sugar in certain things.
@@morethanfarmers you guys are definitely on the right! Blessings and Joy to you all!
Lol, watching again!
Looks delicious! We don't use much sugar in our house. We have a variety of dietary restrictions to contend with so lots of modifications go into our food preparation and prepping. But man, that sure does look yummy !
Hi
Dear your job is great
Yesssss.....love hanging out ....its like a vacation 🎉alohaaaaaa ❤🧜♀️🌴
Love raspberry jam. I'm a new sub so I don't know if someone has suggested using a pat of butter in your jam amd the foaming will reduce immensely.
Thanks!
I just can't help but chuckle when he says it "is really easy," Well that depends on who is doing all the work. Sorry there, it is a lot of work from growing to picking, cooking to getting it just the right consistency. Homesteading and food preservation is work but oh don't get me wrong WELL worth the work to know where and how your food is coming to your table. Kudos to both of you for working to make a better life for your family. 🦋
You are right!
good afternoon my sister ❤
Do you make a chunckier bled for pie fillings? Have you tried it with other berries? We have kiowa blackberries and strawberries we make jam from. We only get 3-4 jars.
I don’t have a pie filling recipe. I just purée my berries and strain out the seeds and then add cornstarch and sweeteners. But I don’t use Pomona‘s pectin to make raspberry pie filling. It’s only meant for jams and jellies. We also make strawberry jam and strawberry rhubarb.
My husband and i just found your channel this week. We are enjoying watching and learning. I dont know if you have said what kind of raspberries you have, but we would like to know.
Welcome here! We have Heritage.
@@morethanfarmers thanks!
This looks so delicious!
Do you guys think growing some raspberries with a trellis in a container/raised bed (I only have a balcony) can work?
I think that would work. You would just for sure have to keep it watered, and I don’t know if you would have to bring it in during the winter or not because of the roots freezing. It would sure be worth a try!
Thank you very much! I try to water every other day, or the kids do it. I think I´ll try it. I have a cute raised bed made out of our baby bathtub, that should do it :) @@morethanfarmers
We preserve mostly using the open kettle method and not pressure canning or waterbath. The raspberry jam we would have used the open kettle method and stored them on the pantry shelf.
That is awesome you have so much experience to lean into when preserving foods. My mom made homemade applesauce one time when I was a kid and that experience really stuck with me cause we had it all in the refrigerator since none of us knew how to can. Can't imagine how much more capable everyone would be if they learned these kinds of skills from a mentor rather than needing to watch tons of videos and read guidelines/step-by-step instructions.
I have heard that adding a tablespoon or two or butter to jam or jelly when you are making it will reduce the amount of foam. Is this something you have ever tried? I have tried but it was only my second time canning so not sure why mine turned out more like a syrup.
Thanks for sharing have a great day!
So glad to hear you're enjoying the channel, Jen. Good luck with your garden this year!
I was always taught that if you put a tiny bit of butter in, the foam will go away. No need to skim.
Sweet, thanks!
Hopeful for a bumper crop of raspberries this year. Hope that they will produce more now that the plants are bette established...maybe?
Good luck!
YuuuuM!
Many thanks for the videos and jam recipe. I'm also suffering raspberry pressure and getting more than a little stressed with the volume of beautiful berries each day. Have you any suggestions for recipes that use a lot of raspberries. The freezer is full and I've more jam than we can eat in a couple of years. A good problem to have and not wanting to waste any berries. Thank you
Good problem to have 😉 There’s always blessing others with some free berries 😊 We freeze them in gallon bags and use them in smoothies. Pies every once in awhile.
At first I thought you were making candy apples...lol
😁
This video doesnt show up on your channel. Every time yall post a video I always go to your channel to make sure I didn't miss a video I love watching your channel it feels like watching a really good tv show. But anyway I almost missed this video cuz I didnt see it on your channel and I almost didnt click on this one from part one cuz I thought I had already seen it. Anyway love you guys.
Yeah, thanks for letting me know.. It is on purpose. I meant it to be watched along with the other one, then I'll make it fully public next week. Just something I'm trying 😊
I read that jars with straight sides (no shoulders) are best for freezing. Have you heard anything about that? It seems that you haven't had any issues with your jars.
That would help so the expanding food inside wouldn't be pushing against the shoulders, but as long as you don't fill em too full they work fine!
Beautiful and I am sure, very good raspberry jam! Nice video, love the smiles and cuteness😊 You are so fortunate to have a nice husband and beautiful children💜🦋
Hello! Have you ever heard of using a Victorio strainer to remove the raspberry seeds? We have one and were wondering if that could possibly work just as well. We've never tried it on raspberries.
Never tried it for raspberries, but Michelle likes her food mill for tomatoes better than the Victorio.
Great to know! We'll be getting a food mill for our tomatoes and raspberries...using our Victorio for applesauce. Thanks so much! @@morethanfarmers
That looks about the same amount of sugar my dad puts in his coffee 😂.......jam looks delicious ❤
😂
❣
Can buy Pomona's pectin at Wal-Mart Mart .
Fresh sourdough bread and jam on top of it ❤️ yeas please
😋😋😋
As little sugar as i want would be great. I dont have a stomach (cancer) so cant tolerate lots of stuff due to sugar content
Sorry that you have to deal with that. If only more people would choose that route BEFORE they have an issue like that.
Use the seeds to growmore or sell the seeds
About how long does it take to pick the raspberries every day?
Around an hour.
Let's get it over with...... OMG THE SHEER AMOUNT OF SUGAR!!!
Y'ALL feel better?
😂
Hey guys! Shelley's voice isn't syncing with audio.
Thanks for the heads up.. i checked and it seems to be fine.. maybe not loading right for you?
For me it's ok.
Could you use Monk Fruit instead of sugar?
Yes! You should be able to use whatever sweetener you desire to make the jam.
@@morethanfarmers I just made Hot Strawberry Jam and Blackberry jelly using monk fruit - tastes the same, gel was beautiful - and no sugar for my grandbabies.
How do i get my copy
Copy of?
sugar to berries, one to one, no other additives, a little lemon juice
You are so adorable!!!! I do have to make a correction for you though. Jam has seeds. Jelly has no seeds. What you made was Jelly not jam.
Jelly is made with juice of fruit...no PULP or seeds. She made Jam😉
@@kinnmar06 She put it through a food mill. She removed pulp and seeds. She made Jelly.
That's not how food mills work. They remove skin and seeds. But a steam juicer would give you pure juice. Both are awesome tools
It doesn't really matter. What matters is she made something more nutritious for her family.(compared to store bought)
Amen!!
with the blender use till it falls apart
Yep.
So she used "a gallon" of raspberries, can you tell me how many cups of berries before she mashed them?
Who cares looks delicious
You do not need pectin to make jam, been doing for years,just berries sugar and lemon juice
You guys do not seem wealthy. How did you get started buying a home and land for a homestead on one income? My husband and I would love to do these things as we start our family, but it feels impossible!
We did kinda answer this question in yesterday's Live video. We are definitely not wealthy. We've always lived paycheck to paycheck. We've worked very hard, done a lot of the work ourselves, and we've always been very frugal. We made it happen, and I believe anyone can if it's what they prioritize. Not saying that it's easy though 😬 th-cam.com/video/Nawm8V2Awmk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NRIkPMDAFnhvL8ps
@morethanfarmers thanks for responding to me:) I'll watch your video! You guys are very genuine and hardworking, I love your videos. You seem like actual real people, haha. I'd really like to be able to raise our family in an environment like this.
@@lucyhuppert6694 Our pleasure! Blessings on your journey.
