Hi Lumnah family ☕️☕️ sorry for the second comment, grandmom used to keep a bowl of ice water to dip knife while cutting onions, no tears... as always, have a blessed day
I have a friend that cut the tops off and seeded anaheim peppers, stuffed them with cream cheese and ricotta, pinned the tops back on with toothpicks and grilled them.... They were amazing!
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here I am loving it wish I could be there to taste I have never tasted banana peppers before we don’t have this species in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I know that your family is going to be enjoying these blessings
I come from a long line of farmers..and thank God I spent summers with my maternal grandmother....it still serves me well the lessons I learned from her vast knowledge and experience...she had 7 kids..js
Jennifer Cullison How wonderful! Have you ever considered writing a book with all of her recipes, tips, practical advice and stories? That would be a priceless treasure!! I would purchase it as well as many others I’m sure. Blessings!
I always enjoy watching the ride. I used to live across the border in Western Maine and made that trip more times than I can count. I always liked seeing the old Opera House building in town. Sure do miss Maine.
most pepper cores (if not all) are attached to the cap/stem if you cut around the outside layer of pepper but not the middle just below the cap, you should be able to grab the stem, twist, and pull out the core and most, if not all of the seeds with no fuss. i used to slice up hundreds upon hundreds of peppers when i worked for papa johns.
I once made pickled cherry tomatoes whole - I believe I got the recipe from the Ball Canning & Preserving Book. They were delicious and looked so pretty in the jar. They were in a dill brine, much like that of a dill pickle. Highly recommend it. Alison from Ontario, Canada
I love pickled banana peppers, it brings back fond memories of my Dad. He always kept a decanter of them on the kitchen table, and when we would have collard or turnip greens we would pour the juice over them. Yummmmmm!
Miss olivia with the goats, the garden in the greenhouse looks amazing and the banana peppers look so delicious and beautiful color makes me want some, enjoy the videos first thing in the morning, God bless you all
Glad there was no storm damage, went through hurricane Michael almost 2 yrs ago and people are still trying to recover. Don't wish that on anyone.can't wait for the new construction to begin. Hope everyone's staying safe,and wearing there mask..luv you guy's and your farm
Figaro cracks me up. He is some watch cat. Around my neck of the woods, we cut the banana peppers length wise, in to quarters and pickle them. I love pickled banana peppers too, they are so good in salads and on sandwiches/subs or just to munch on. Gina, your meal looks so yummy! Glad y'all didn't get any damaging winds from the hurricane. A little rain is always welcomed.
With my tomatoes, I dehydrated them and canned them with olive oil and garlic. Make great tasting pizza topping or can be used in tomato sauce, marinara sauce. It's just good.
M.K. Carol I also LOVE watching and learning new recipes from Gina! She is a FANTASTIC COOK. I would love to purchase a recipe book written by Gina. She has taught me so much. Blessings!
Those were HUGE banana peppers! Beautiful !! Seriously never seen such robust, healthy peppers! I'm confused, were the green and yellow different kinds. Thanks guys, love you all, missing our little Olivia girl!!
I have a cat here that is identical to Figaro except it's a little girl. Her name is Trixy and she acts like him too. Loved the video, glad you didnt get damage from the storm.
I am always so worried when I see you carrying the hot jars in the boxes. I use a heavy duty plastic bin, like a milk crate only shorter, to carry mine. I would hate to see you get burned or lose your beautiful canned goods. Thank you for sharing!
I saw some short walled collapsible crates at Home Depot. (fairly priced). that would make a great gift you could sent Al and family and your worries would be over.. *s
They work FANTASIC. OUR SENIOR CENTER USES THEM TO CARRY OUR GROCERY BAGS. THEY FOLD UP NICE AND EASY. DO NOT TAKE UP ROOM ON THE BUS (SMALLER BUS) GREAT IDEA. ALSO A TABLE TO PUT THE CANNING JARS ON. FROM MICHIGAN
Your not joking. He goes where he wants, eat what he wants, and gets attention when he wants. That cat has it better than most that's for sure. Stay safe
@@craigmooring2091 really you never quick typed before. Critical people. Try getting laid bro you won't be so worried about the small things. Or that's your problem. Did I use your right this time?
Good morning from Michigan. We have not had rain for a few days now. I do not think we are going to see much from that storm. Hope you all stay safe. Have my cup of coffee, watching my fav homesteaders. Have a great day and stay safe. BTW how did your cheese turn out. With all those peppers you need a Peter Piper.
Good morning Guy's! So glad to see the first year of the greenhouse is going fabulous, can't wait to see the fall & winter season grow! Stay blessed healthy and safe!🙏💞🙌
My dear sister made pickles and gave me some 30 Quarts of pickles I was in the air force at the time live in the barracks it was a good thing everybody like pickles.
I love picking cauliflower and onions and adding carrots and adding my grams special spices she made in zip lock bags Hopefully she will give us recipe sure tasty ! Yum !
Figaro is the master animal of the homestead. Those are great looking peppers. They are delicious stuffed with ground meat, rice and a little sauce. Bakw in oven and spread some parmigiano on top. So good. I really enjoy your vlogs. A good wholesome family teaching Olivia responsibility, wholesome values, love of family and all about the homestead. Peace and love
Cannot tell you how much I enjoy ypur channel. I am 71 and grew up in San Antonio Texas. I grew up hunting, fishing and picking corn in a field my father owned. We also traveled to Mexico often, I remember once we were in Juez at a restaurant that served a jar of pickled jalapenos, carrots and mushrooms, I do not remember if there was any other ingredients but it was really good. I would like to add okra and onions to the bottle.
Cherry tomatoes are great for salsa. You can also wash, freeze and when you collect enough, use them to make juice, sauce or paste. To do that, cook and strain or run through a food mill to remove the seeds and skin then cook some more to your liking for the sauce or paste. Can in pint jars as you would regular tomatoes using citric acid or vinegar to boost the acid level a bit because cherry tomatoes are not as acidic as regular tomatoes. When pickling things, if you have extra brine, jar it up and process with the pickles. You can use it to make more pickles or in things like marinade or salad dressing. No waste. (Or if you are doing more pickles in a few days, just refrigerate it to use) Blessings to your family ❤️
Our favorite use of cherry tomatoes is dehydrated, split, with just a tiny amount of salt. Some of them stored in oil with basil and garlic for pasta. Or made into pesto and frozen. YUM!
First, your Greenhouse build videos were really interesting to watch. Then the planting of the crops and now seeing your harvest shows how hard work does pay off in the end. Congrats on all your efforts...
I grew up watching my mom canning and making pickles. She always PACKED the veggies into the jars to reduce air space, increase the yield per jar, and save on the brine needed. They she'd do what Gina does by running a knife around inside to get the bubbles out. Nice video!!
Awww I wanted to see Livs face when you told her about the eggs. Here in the uk it is currently 30c. I'm not good with heat. I'm impressed you said Worcester sauce correctly x
Onions are good in pickled peppers. As is garlic. I just peel and cut about 1/2 way into the garlic clove and add 1 or 2 into each jar. And I put about half an onion per pint of pickled peppers. Just things you might want to try in the future. Hurricane season runs from June 1-September 30. We are just entering the peak of the season.
Good to hear you'll didn't have storm issues or problems. Your pickled peppers look amazing!! Every time you show your greenhouse high tunnel I'm so impressed, and can't wait to habe one. Hubby and I need to figure out what size of greenhouse high tunnel we want. We also have to find a company who will deliver up in our neck of the woods, in time we will get one over here!
I remember in the mid to late 90's, hurricane Opal came up through Panama City Beach, Florida all the way to Southeast Tennessee. She still had hurricane force winds. I watched my neighbor's trees across the street bow over and kiss the ground more than once. It was a rough day. We had several tornado warnings and a few touchdowns. It was a terrible day. Stay safe.
Who wants a pickled pepper? Pickled pepper had a little rhyme on an TV . How many pickled peppers could a piper pick? Does anyone else remember this?

Your animals would not have the personalities they do if they didn't have you folks to interact with. I think the success of a lot of the channels is the relationships the humans have with their animals. That relationship is the absolute best no matter what species. You folks have a hugh selection of personalities. I hope that aspect of your homestead stays small enough to retain those relationships. Good job of showcasing your animals. It's a gift. Thanks from those of us who don't have the pleasure of having animals. Blessings
It's so funny you made meatballs. I made Italian beef meatball mix yesterday and cooked and canned it today. Now I have 105 spicy Italian meat'a ballz, LOL. I canned 175 spicy chicken meat'a ballz yesterday. I love seeing jars of tasty home-canned stuff waiting in my pantry!
Cherry tomatoes can be canned just as you would any other tomato. Tip on the peppers, whenever it says "pack" you should really pack them in tight. Otherwise once processed it will look like half a jar of peppers filled with brine. There is actually a wooden tool to pack down stuff in jars. Also 1/8 tsp per jar of pickle crisp will keep peppers from turning to mush. Left over brine can be stored in a jar in the fridge and used in future batches of brine instead of discarding it. One more tip, when putting rings on jars, you should only tighten to finger tip tight. Cranking them down tight as you are doing, can cause lids to buckle and not seal during processing. By finger tip tight, that means just until the ring stops turning using just your fingers tips.
My favorite animals on your farm would be Hope the goat and Frigaro. You never know where that cat will show up.. Glad you only had rain from the storm. God bless stay safe♥️🇺🇸🌹
I love watching both of you. You work side by side and enjoy it! You do things for each other. Simple things that mean so much to one another. Like pickled onions and banana peppers. You guys remind me of my husband and I. I miss him every day for the last 16 years. I loved how his eyes wrinkled when he smiled. How he would just do that smile when I made his favorite meals. You both are an awesome couple. Such shared 💘 love!
I've got a dozen eggs layers that are 17 weeks old I'm getting excited to have fresh eggs from the yard. I also can and preserve from the garden but your recipes seem to be ones I want to try. Thanks and stay safe
Before glass jars were cheap and rubber gaskets a thing, people used earthenware pots with lids made out of pig bladders to get a reasonable seal. It wasn't fully airtight but it was pretty good. The advent of cheap glass jars and cheap metal cooking pots in the 19th c for food preservation made an enormous difference in the food people could eat year round, and thereby their health. It's good to see you carrying on these traditions. For cherry toms, 80% dehydrated, then preserved in nice olive oil is good. The olive oil becomes delicious too.
We love pickled banana peppers. We bought four plants this year and they were LOADED. I brought them in to start the pickling process and started cutting the up. These were hotter than fire! Literally burning my skin and eyes. We came to the conclusion they are Hungarian wax peppers which are very very hot and were miss marked at the nursery! (we always buy our peppers as started plants rather than from seed...not next year!). I pickled the ones I brought in, but they are so very very hot, it will take very long time to even get through the 12 pints I pickled. Yours look amazing! Enjoy them! I am jealous. :)
I think willow is just done with nursing...shes fine with being milked but I think she's over nursing..I think it irks her at this point..and Norah is quite over being nursed for her total food..I think it's still a comfort thing..
@@Truthandlight66 If you watched video dated 14th July at 11:07 the plans Al was looking at said Equipment Shed & you can see *Jamaica Cottage Shop* logo.
I dehydrated my cherry tomatoes and ate them like a snack and threw them in soups and stews. Where ever you need a bit of tomatoes. I also dehydrated bell peppers and ate them.like a snack. Delicious.
Try drying the cherry tomatos then turn into a power. 1 or 2 tablespoons makes tomato juice. Also, has many, many other uses. This is what I’m going to do with my excess cherry tomatoes.
Well done Gina. That's the first time I've heard an American pronounce Worcestershire sauce as we do this side of the pond. Much easier way to say it😉😉😃😁
Have thought of trying to make a TURDUCKING. It is a mix of boneless Turkey, Duck and Chicken. First/Outside is the Turkey, next layer is the Duck and the inside layer is the Chicken. Spice and stuffing then Roll together and tye with cooking roast string. Cook until fully cooked.
Good Morning Al ! Cape Cod actually had little or no damage . The power may have blinked out a short time other than that 30 minutes of pounding rain ! Im not on the shore so we had minimal wind !
Hay Al. Just finally remembered that I've been wondering why You haven't utilized a floor pedal from an old sewing machine {possibly yard sale} for the milking vacuum pump. Just a thought I've been having, for a LOOOOOOng time now, than both hands are always free,during the process. Either way B BIG Time Blessed, and Thanks for doing that which You'se Guys do, Its great to be with Family. . . . . .
I'm in South Central Massachusetts and had a Three Sisters Garden that was producing well unfortunately the tropical storm flattened it we got extreme high winds and some of the people in my town were without power for 2 days and some still are
Roots and refuge recommend s halving cherry tomatoes and dehydrating them. Can be then used in pasta dishes and salads and as a snack. Also you are the first pubic figures in North America from whom I have heard Worcester pronounced correctly. Nice.
I’ve lived in New England all my life and have never heard of Worcester sauce. I was wondering what it is. My recipe called for soy sauce. Interested in what the difference is? I usually use coconut aminos.
For cherry tomatoes - FREEZE em ! Pop them in soups, stews, roasted veggies, pickle some, too! They’d look pretty floating in some cool cucumber soup...
WOW nice harvest of peppers and those meatballs look amazing! I accidently had pickled banana peppers and scrambled eggs once, and it was amazing. I say accidently because I didn't order them but for some reason someone else did and I was given their eggs, said it was wrong but will try them anyway and I actually enjoyed them so very much. Love your homestead. So sweet to see Gina with all her animals following her around. Hope you are all safe from the storm, animals also.
They are yellow Bananna pepers, a sweet pepper, not hot. I grow them every year, delicious to eat itself or in salad, roasted with veges. Never tried picking or fermenting them but might give it a try.
Its so nice to watch you work as a team in the kitchen. A truly wonderful loving marriage, like my parents of Blessed Memory had. You are truly lucky people to have found each other. G-D Bless and Stay Safe.
Those banana peppers are so great mixed in with sliced onion and cooked on the BBQ plate or as a side salsa cooked in a saucepan or frypan with added tomatoes and a little chilli as a side dish with almost any meats. Yummy yummy.
I love sweet and sour meatballs. My recipe is an old time recipe from my grandmother. You thicken the sauce on the stove and pour it over the meatballs, pineapple and peppers. I’ve changed it to cook in the crockpot all day, smells great. It’s a holiday treat my family asks for every year. Tomorrow I’m pickling jalapeños and canning bread and butter pickles. My dill pickles have another week. Can’t wait! I’m guessing the Mrs isn’t a morning person. I saw the stink eye about 5:18. Haha Im not a morning person either. We got very high winds on the coast. A wind gust almost knocked my 6 yr old grandson over, I had to grab him. We got downpours for a little bit, but it was over very quickly. Not enough to water the garden.

@Poison Ivy Being Seniors we depend a LOT on our delivery people.. they have become our heroes! Still, sometimes one just needs to get creative.
If you shove the stem inward and then pull, the seeds and stem release easily. No waste and no aggravation.
Love the way you say "good morning" at the start of your videos.
God Bless......
Really glad to hear the storm left your family and the homestead untouched, and just a little welcome rain!

AL, don't forget there are a few of us across the pond who follow you that get the remnants of that storm next week.
I love watching both of you. You work side by side and enjoy it! You do things for each other. Simple things that mean so much to one another. Like pickled onions and banana peppers. You guys remind me of my husband and I. I miss him every day for the last 16 years. I loved how his eyes wrinkled when he smiled. How he would just do that smile when I made his favorite meals. You both are an awesome couple. Such shared 💘 love!
I've got a dozen eggs layers that are 17 weeks old I'm getting excited to have fresh eggs from the yard. I also can and preserve from the garden but your recipes seem to be ones I want to try. Thanks and stay safe
I want a pantry tour when you have all your canning done! ✌🏻
I see the canned cherry tomatoes available in stores.
Watermelon rind pickles are delicious.
Before glass jars were cheap and rubber gaskets a thing, people used earthenware pots with lids made out of pig bladders to get a reasonable seal. It wasn't fully airtight but it was pretty good. The advent of cheap glass jars and cheap metal cooking pots in the 19th c for food preservation made an enormous difference in the food people could eat year round, and thereby their health. It's good to see you carrying on these traditions. For cherry toms, 80% dehydrated, then preserved in nice olive oil is good. The olive oil becomes delicious too.
Pickled peppers, my favorite!
Love love love your hair Gina! ❤️
Ooooo you should try stuffing some of those banana peppers with provavolone cheese and Italian ham. Yummmmmm
Now that sounds good.
Wow! That's making my mouth water. 😋😋😋😺😺😺
Prayers being for your family to be safe and the storms pass by You and your homestead! 🌀🌪️
Pickling food is like waiting for Christmas. The wait is hard, but is so exicting when THE DAY finally arrives.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres! Glad the storm has passed and no damage!👍
Those banana pickles look good canned 😋 2020 also seems to be the year to hurry up and prep and stock up as best as u can 😒
We love pickled banana peppers. We bought four plants this year and they were LOADED. I brought them in to start the pickling process and started cutting the up. These were hotter than fire! Literally burning my skin and eyes. We came to the conclusion they are Hungarian wax peppers which are very very hot and were miss marked at the nursery! (we always buy our peppers as started plants rather than from seed...not next year!). I pickled the ones I brought in, but they are so very very hot, it will take very long time to even get through the 12 pints I pickled. Yours look amazing!
Enjoy them! I am jealous. :)
I have really enjoyed the harvest and then processing of each things. Good video as usual. Bless you all.
Love how the goats walk the same path every morning.
You can see the path they have made. Love to watch them.
They are def creatures of habit and dont like changes..lol
I was quite surprised when they didnt balk at the milking schedule...js..
I think willow is just done with nursing...shes fine with being milked but I think she's over nursing..I think it irks her at this point..and Norah is quite over being nursed for her total food..I think it's still a comfort thing..
Jane Hutchinson ,
It's the only path that they know . lol
No tropical storm effects here in SW Minnesota, just some rain ! Al, I’m curious what you’re going to build ! I’m a retired carpenter!
Prolly an elevated ice skating rink ~8^)
He has not told us yet. Those are great IDEA'S. There are many things to do. SURPRISE.
I was thinking equipment shed also.
With all the food they're harvesting, they'll need a new WAREHOUSE to store it!!!!
@@Truthandlight66 If you watched video dated 14th July at 11:07 the plans Al was looking at said Equipment Shed & you can see *Jamaica Cottage Shop* logo.
Those second peppers look like what we call Anaheim peppers. I put them in, seeds included, to cook with beans.
I dehydrated my cherry tomatoes and ate them like a snack and threw them in soups and stews. Where ever you need a bit of tomatoes. I also dehydrated bell peppers and ate them.like a snack. Delicious.
Morning from the UK😀. Should feed all them fallen apples to the pigs. Makes for some tasty meat😋😋
I am from the UK as well, and said libby could feed the apples to the pigs, great minds think alike :)
I'm from Straya and they do quite often rake the apples up and feed them to the pigs
@@brettn4337 you must be seeing something we are not on TH-cam, but they have fed them apples today, the day after it got mentioned
@@proudrottweilermama7510 I saw in an older video they raked them up and feed them to the pigs
@@proudrottweilermama7510 Libby is short for Elizabeth Not Olivia!
Banana peppers are delicious with a tomato sandwich. Yum Yum.
Yum yum indeed!😋😋😋
I love how you two are always together and work together and seem like their is barely any fighting.
Good morning. Enjoy your canning. 👍
Try drying the cherry tomatos then turn into a power. 1 or 2 tablespoons makes tomato juice. Also, has many, many other uses. This is what I’m going to do with my excess cherry tomatoes.
Well done Gina. That's the first time I've heard an American pronounce Worcestershire sauce as we do this side of the pond. Much easier way to say it😉😉😃😁
Those peppers look delicious 😋
Have thought of trying to make a TURDUCKING. It is a mix of boneless Turkey, Duck and Chicken. First/Outside is the Turkey, next layer is the Duck and the inside layer is the Chicken. Spice and stuffing then Roll together and tye with cooking roast string. Cook until fully cooked.
Good Morning Al ! Cape Cod actually had little or no damage . The power may have blinked out a short time other than that 30 minutes of pounding rain ! Im not on the shore so we had minimal wind !
Wow. That usually doesn’t happen
Dipping your elbows in cold water when you slicing up the onions helps to prevent the tears
@soaringtractor Staying 15 feet away helps me. LOL
Ian ritchie - A bit difficult to slice the onions then!!!
"PHEW" 🐔 Thank God you saw Chicken Little 🐔 My favorite animal on all of TH-cam, I kid you not. She is so cool, I always love the odd one out 🐔 🐔
Hay Al. Just finally remembered that I've been wondering why You haven't utilized a floor pedal from an old sewing machine {possibly yard sale} for the milking vacuum pump. Just a thought I've been having, for a LOOOOOOng time now, than both hands are always free,during the process. Either way B BIG Time Blessed, and Thanks for doing that which You'se Guys do, Its great to be with Family. . . . . .
I'm in South Central Massachusetts and had a Three Sisters Garden that was producing well unfortunately the tropical storm flattened it we got extreme high winds and some of the people in my town were without power for 2 days and some still are
Roots and refuge recommend s halving cherry tomatoes and dehydrating them. Can be then used in pasta dishes and salads and as a snack. Also you are the first pubic figures in North America from whom I have heard Worcester pronounced correctly. Nice.
I’ve lived in New England all my life and have never heard of Worcester sauce. I was wondering what it is. My recipe called for soy sauce. Interested in what the difference is? I usually use coconut aminos.
@Poison Ivy I like to add it to my cheeseball at Xmas. it adds a great back-note and helps downplay the richness of all of that cheese.
For cherry tomatoes - FREEZE em ! Pop them in soups, stews, roasted veggies, pickle some, too! They’d look pretty floating in some cool cucumber soup...
I'm definitely excited to see how well your cherry tomatoes preserve. Blanching and peeling cherry tomatoes sounds like quite the chore.
WOW nice harvest of peppers and those meatballs look amazing! I accidently had pickled banana peppers and scrambled eggs once, and it was amazing. I say accidently because I didn't order them but for some reason someone else did and I was given their eggs, said it was wrong but will try them anyway and I actually enjoyed them so very much. Love your homestead. So sweet to see Gina with all her animals following her around. Hope you are all safe from the storm, animals also.
Those big peppers are a stuffing pepper used in Mexican dishes.
We always stuff them with ground meat and put them in the oven. Make them just like you would with stuffed green peppers. Make them Hot.
They look like pablanos or Anaheim peppers
They look like poblanos.... if so, they make the best Chile Rellenos! I also like them used in Fajitas instead of Bells.
They are yellow Bananna pepers, a sweet pepper, not hot. I grow them every year, delicious to eat itself or in salad, roasted with veges. Never tried picking or fermenting them but might give it a try.
Its so nice to watch you work as a team in the kitchen. A truly wonderful loving marriage, like my parents of Blessed Memory had. You are truly lucky people to have found each other. G-D Bless and Stay Safe.
The greenhouse looked ginormous while it was being built, with it planted it seems like it should be three times bigger than it is.
Those banana peppers are so great mixed in with sliced onion and cooked on the BBQ plate or as a side salsa cooked in a saucepan or frypan with added tomatoes and a little chilli as a side dish with almost any meats. Yummy yummy.
I love sweet and sour meatballs. My recipe is an old time recipe from my grandmother. You thicken the sauce on the stove and pour it over the meatballs, pineapple and peppers. I’ve changed it to cook in the crockpot all day, smells great. It’s a holiday treat my family asks for every year. Tomorrow I’m pickling jalapeños and canning bread and butter pickles. My dill pickles have another week. Can’t wait!
I’m guessing the Mrs isn’t a morning person. I saw the stink eye about 5:18. Haha Im not a morning person either.
We got very high winds on the coast. A wind gust almost knocked my 6 yr old grandson over, I had to grab him. We got downpours for a little bit, but it was over very quickly. Not enough to water the garden.
Good Morning Al and Gina. Have a wonderful day
