Thank you so much for your videos. I grew up with everything cooked from a can or box from the store. I literally didn't have a clue about cooking from scratch. You are so very fortunate to have these skills for yourself and to pass on to your children. And, I appreciate you passing them on to me too!
Well said! I grew up the same, without people like you it would be so hard for me to show my daughters the right way. God bless you and your family!
I totally agree
Never thought of straining the pumpkin liquid out through a cheesecloth-what a great idea!!
As a 70 year old gal, I totally appreciate you Ruth Anne. You are inspirational. Well done! I am a homesteader here in New Zealand. Still at it and loving it.
Me too! I’ll be 70 on Friday the 17
You teach a lot of skills that are useful and they are skills we weren't taught growing up because of grocery stores. Thanks for making a great channel
Amen 🙏
I’ll bet everyone in your family look ,with great anticipation, for you to arrive with all of you luscious pies! Your children are so lucky to have you as a mom.
Just think if we all had a mom like Ruthann!
Ruthann, thank you for graciously sharing your family recipes with us all! You are a true blessing to us on TH-cam!
I’ve never roasted the pumpkins whole before. I’ll have to try that. Thanks for all the pumpkin recipes. They look wonderful.
They also cook well whole in the instant pot, if they're small enough!
So much easier
I learn to bake pumpkin in the oven from my mama's. But we always clean them out and cut them in half. I like the idea that you roasted them whole and it was much easier to clean them out then I always process mine to in the food processor as well everybody I don't eat pumpkin but everybody always request me to bring pumpkin pie because I make them from scratch I don't use the can and they can tell how much better they taste. I really enjoy your videos and I've learned a lot of new stuff that I didn't know keep up the good work God bless you!
I love your channel. I wish you would talk more about why you left Mennonite Community. But understand why you may not have. Anyway thank you for the Dropbox links. Very convenient. And I am learning so much from your channel! If you have time maybe you can do a video on the chocolate whoopies (my husband really likes those). Take Care & God bless and keep you and your family ❤.
PS also curious how the Lord lead you and your husband to adopt. You guys are a HUGE encouragement.
You are such a treasure 💖
I'm so happy I've found your channel. You are an amazing teacher & so genuine. Blessings to you and your family.
Stacy, I totally agree with your assessment of Ruth Ann. I am amazed that I can watch her work for hours..
Such a sweet caring lady., and mother. God bless the ZIMMERMANS
I love your videos. We’re in NC and I love your accent and how you pronounce words. I thinks it’s neat how different parts of the country sound so different.
I’m living vicariously through you and admire your hard work. God willing one day we will have a smaller version homestead .
I do love watching you work. You are in control of the food, not the other way around. lol. Most people are so afraid. I am Full German. lol You cook with common sense and love. My SIL used to measure everything so carefully. Scraped off top with knife, and I just eyeballed things, pretty much. you know, have it look right. She said, that is why my things turned out better. I did not know, we were in any competition. I just cooked like I was taught and saw mom doing. "hunk of butter", "splash of milk", "till it looks right'.
That strained liquid makes the best rice. I bottle the juice and tried it. It’s awesome
Do you ever make sweet potato pie? A super delicious summer pie is one I learned to make from my first MIL, Dolores Conn, from Oklahoma. Make one of your delicious pastry pie crusts and blind bake it…set it aside to totally cool. Take 4 or 5 large freestone peaches…slip the skins by dipping the peaches in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes then put in ice water…slip the skin. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Slice the peaches into your strainer to let the juice go into a bowl Then make some homemade vanilla pudding using a double boiler over boiling water but do not let the boiling water touch the bottom of the upper pot, using 2 cups whole milk or you can use half and half…..cornstarch, sugar, pinch of salt, beat 3 egg yolks…temper the egg yolks with about half of your thickened milk, sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition of hot milk mixture…after you finish tempering your egg yolks into the milk, sugar mixture and have all of the eggs mixed in the milk, sugar mixture, put it back over the boiling water, keep stirring until we’ll thickened…add 2 Tablespoons of butter and 1 Tablespoon of homemade vanilla…..put plastic wrap on the top of the pudding for about 15 to 20 minutes so it won’t form a skin. Then take the plastic wrap off of the pudding and fold the well drained peaches into the warm homemade vanilla pudding, then pour the peach filling into the cooled pie crust…..then chill the pie well. Before serving cover the top of the pie with sweetened whipped cream. This makes a delicious pie and although I have searched and searched for over 50 years, I have never found a recipe for this particular pie in any cookbook. Dolores passed away in October of 2008 and she was, I believe born in 1918. She was my MIL for 17 years and she was a super fantastic cook even though she would never let you give her the compliments she so richly deserved. She was also a smart, beautiful woman and the grandmother of my oldest four children. I miss her, my own beautiful, beautiful, smart Mom, Dorothy, who died at 58 in 1984 from lung cancer and who was an outstanding cook, and my second MIL, Bernice, who passed away in April of 1997 at 65 from breast cancer. Bernice was not much of a cook at all but she was a great Mom and grandmother to all her grandchildren. I miss all three of them. My mom never got to see the internet, laptop computers, tablets or iPads but she was a really fast typest and loved her IBM Selectric typewriter and could take over 150 wpm using the Gregg Shorthand she learned in secretarial school. Besides being a great cook, she spent 28 years being the private secretary to the Vice-President of Public Relations at Bell Helicopter in Ft. Worth, Texas. My Mom would have loved watching your videos. If tobacco had not stolen her life in 1984, she would be turning 100 on November 23, 2025. I miss her each and every day. I learned so much from my Mom. On the Peach Cream Pie….you can just make any homemade vanilla pudding that you would use for banana pudding or for coconut cream pie. I promise you, that Peach Cream pie is a doozie!
I am NOT fond of pumpkin pie. Sweet potato however is one of my favorites!!
Thank you so much for sharing your peach pie!!!
Ruth Ann, to keep the cheese cloth from folding down into the colander, clothes pin it to the colander edge.
Thanks for the recipes. Something new, tried and true to have for bake sales as well as at home.
Have you thought of baking the pumpkins on a rack in the pan; poke holes in the bottom of pumpkin, as well, to let juice drain out?
It all makes sense to me now, bake it like the squash it is...lol I don't know why I never thought of that.😂
So sweet to watch your daughter look out for her younger brother, to make sure he got his treats too!❤
I will drain my fresh pumpkin.. thank you! I don't know I never thought of this. I love seeing the children enjoying a Whoopie Pie.. you are such a thoughtful mother.
I love cast iron cookware and have quite a bit of it but have never used a pan that looks as heavy as the one you baked the pumpkins in and at 75, I just don’t think I will ever have the strength to pick up something like that. I have also never just baked pie pumpkins whole. What a good idea and a great way to NOT have all of that excess liquid that I too have always ended up with. I can hardly wait to try your method. What an innovative, smart cook you are. When are you going to put out a book on cooking and homesteading? I want to get in line!
My mom LOVED pie crust. She was very good at it too!! Always buttery, flakey, yummy!!
I appreciate your recipe and task. It's a great reminder of her and her technique.
LOVE YOUR SHOW!!
Love learning things from you that I never learned from my mother. And I always enjoy seeing your family! Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!
Awesome how easy you can peel the pumpkin! Gonna try this next time! Love spicy pumpkinsoup!
Your Crusts & Pies are beautiful. I was surprised that you don't put cinnamon, ginger & cloves in your pumpkin pie filling. But I'm sure they are delicious. I love watching everything you do. ;) You are so Humble & I love that.
My heart almost stopped, the pumpkin seeds are so good washed, oiled and roasted until browned . We fight over them as a snack with a sprinkle of salt. I love your recipes here.
I love the low background music. It’s nice to hear the simple sounds of you rolling the dough, cutting the edges of the crust etc. It’s very relaxing.
Goodness my mouth was watering from watching you make all these delicious recipes. The way you baked the whole pumpkins are much easier than chopping it down to chunks . Thank you for sharing . I just wanted to say that if you have more pumpkins you can make a candied pumpkin candy that is so delicious . It’s a mexican candy recipe that you can find online and they stay fresh for a very long time .
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and showing how you do them. I love the idea of doing pies ahead of time to cut down on my stress during the holiday weeks!! These all look so yummy!
A canning lid works great for cleaning out the inside of a pumpkin. 😊
This is a great method! Also, I do mine differently... I guess there are many ways to do a pie. I cut my raw pumpkin in half, remove the seeds/guts, then bake it open-face up. Most of the liquid evaporates out when you do that, no need to strain. You might get some dark edges, but you can remove those, or blend them up later. After that, you can easily scoop the cooked pumpkin out of the shell/skin. I like to place it in a bowl, then slightly mash it. At this point I take only what I need for one pie (if its only for me and my husband), then freeze the rest. I normally use 2 cups of mashed pumpkin for 2 pie. Why? That's about how much is in a can of pumpkin puree fromt he store, and most recipes are based on one of those cans. So after I have 2 cups left in my bowl, I will add my other pie ingredients (milk, sugar, eggs, spices). I give this a few stirs, then I put ALL the mixture in a blender, and blend until it is silky smooth. This does a couple of things: Mixes my pie filling very well, and turns the pumpkin into puree, all at the same time. Then I pour this filling into a prepared pie shell, and bake. I always bake my pumpkins when I want pie. I started making pies when I was 14, and I quickly learned that boiling the pumpkin is a BIG no-no, because it does 2 things: 1. Waterlogs the pumpkin, so you have to drain them and mash all the liquid out (extra work). 2. Strips a lot of natural flavors out of the pumpkin. Now I cringe when I see people boiling them, lol.
My grandma used the cut off pie dough and made sugar wrap ups with sugar and cinamin. They were a treat.
We didn't roll them, just had them flat with sugar & cinnamon. Yummy however they were. No waste good food.
My Gram called them "lamb's tails". When I baked in a cafe, I made some on a whim one day and discovered all the men who came in loved them. They would all mention their mother or grandmother making them.
Ruthann, you and your family are such an inspiration! I just cooked my first pumpkin because of you. It just came out of the oven. I’ll be making my pumpkin pies and trying your whoopie pie recipe. Yesterday I made 12 qts of your apple pie filling and it turned out perfect. So today I’m making your pie crust and making apple pies to freeze and also fried/baked hand pies. Keep rolling out your wonderful videos!
You truly are a joy to watch. Your videos are so soothing to the soul. God bless you and your family greatly for blessing us families who don't or can't have the opportunity to live off the land
You are a Blessing to many, thanks for sharing 8-29-2023❤
Nothing better than coming home from school to home bakes goods by Mom!
I recently found your channel and love all of your cooking videos. I can't wait to make a pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving.
Ruthann, I love pumpkin pie 🥧 I can’t wait for a thanksgiving.
Here’s a tip- put a wet paper towel underneath your cutting board, it will keep from sliding.
Where did you find your cast iron roasting pan?
Gmorning. I just found your channel and I gotta say. It’s so refreshing someone who has baked for a long time. No fuss or fancy bakeware. I love it, I cook like that too. Everything looked delish and can’t wait to try the. Whoopie pies. I make choc ones often but now I need to try the pumpkin ones. Thanks so much, looking forward to watching more of your videos. 🇨🇦🌷
Your pumpkin pie recipe looks and sounds good. Must try it myself. I usually make my pumpkin pie crust using ginger snap cookies, which is delicious!
Fantastic!
Beauriful video. I make pumpkin rolls every year...and sometimes at special requests for birthdays. The only difference between your recipe and mine is; just before baking the thin cake batter ,I sprinkle on top, chopped walnuts, then gently press them into the batter.. My family loves this cake. God bless you and yours.
Ruth, I bake my pumpkin like you do. The only drawback is I can't save seeds. I'm thinking of opening one to save seeds and then baking it. I had some in the freezer, which I thawed and drained. I tried dehydrating it. It turned out great. I will no longer freeze my pumpkin. This will save so much room and be shelf stable for a long time.
Whoopie pumpkin yum. Where can I find the filling recipe?
Thanks for sharing your video and recipes
Pumpkin rolls are an all time fave in my home. Our grown children always get a whole one to take home after our family dinners..
Thank you so much for your videos. I have always made pumpkin pie with canned pumpkin, so this year my husband told me to try to make it with actual pumpkins (after watching your video ). I bought the pumpkins, cut the top open and took the seeds out, after I baked the pumpkins and let them cool down, I proceded to take the skin off and puree them. Well my food processor had not problems with that, but ran out of room when adding the milk. I had to dump the pumpkin puree into a larger container and finish with a wisk. I made my crust from my own recipe that I have been using for 40 + years. The 3 pumpkin pies came out fantastic! The taste was unbelievable.. God Bless and thank you !
I love that you're making a pie from scratch pumpkins. They are the BEST. I wish the nay sayers would try one just once. I think they'd be hooked.
I never saw anyone make a pumpkin roll before. ...and here I am with bunchas of pumpkin puree. Pretty cool.
Love your videos and recipes, Ruthanne! I'm watching this video realizing the Fall baking holidays are inching closer. It's still too hot outside to bake on thus hot summer day even much needed bread, will wait. 🌻
GOD is good all the time! Thank you for sharing your recipes. Look forward to other videos
Oh my gosh, Ruth! I am on a pumpkin cooking kick! I have baked 5 pies this month and have gotten 20lbs of meat for pies & dinner vege & 4 cups of delicious seeds. I also tried my hand at homemade crust ONLY because you made this whole process look easier than I'd thought. My family expects a surprise dish every holiday and though pie isn't a uncommon- 100% scratch pie is (at my house). Thank you for the inspiration. My friends & family thank you too!
Recently found this channel and you can work harder than anyone I know. I always cur my pumpkin in 1/2 to roast. I put it in the freezer for later use. Often makes pumpkin pie,butter and soup. Especially when you have a lot of cream. Yum I love anything pumpkin pie!
I love the dropbox, did you ever think about publishing a book of your recipes? You are amazing!
Your recipes are wonderful!! I wish you had a cook book! God bless you all and the Thank you for your videos😊
I love seeing the farm animals in the snow. I am sitting here with 90 degree heat at the end of October. I am ready for some cooler weather.
My mouth is watering and tummy grumbling for these pumpkin treats!
That pumpkin cobbler sounds amazing!
You can always use some confectioners sugar with the flour instead of all flour when you are rolling out the crust. I have done that with success in my cooking journey. BTW….I love pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, and just baked chunks of pumpkin with butter on it….mmmmmm.
I made your pumpkin roll last year. It was delicious and now has a place in our Thanksgiving recipes! I plan to try your oatmeal whoopie pies when I'm feeling brave 😂 All the pumpkin recipes today looked yummy! Happy Thanksgiving, Zimmermans! 🦃
I love pumpkin with anything. I put the ground pumpkin spice about 1 tsp. with ground coffee to brewing and smell so good and tastes great.
Everything looks so delicious. I will be making these yummy desserts for Thanksgiving and Christmas too
I always used to cook my pumpkins on the stove . Clean them cut into chunks remove the seeds and pulp and put them in a stock pot with about a quarter inch of water to make steam and cook on low until the natural water comes out of the pumpkin (it will be a lot of water!). I remove about half of the water and then add my sugar and spices same as if I were cooking 🍠 sweet yams. After it’s tasty and tender then I removed the flesh from the water remove the peel and use a hand mixer to blend it with egg and milk and butter. ( you can make a spiced punch/tea from the pumpkin water). ( the hand mixer will pull out any strings that may be present).Then it’s ready for the pie crust or tart shells.❤
Ruth Ann can you give your Whoopiie pie filling please. They look so delicious. Love pumpkin desserts!
An absolutely beautiful way of life... but certainly not easy. Blessings to you and your family.
I learned last year that the peeling is quite edible and fill of nutrients...I pureed it along with the pulp
Ooohh- does the peel purée well??
I like the mixer you have for the creme cheese filling. I've never seen one of those!
A dropper to measure vanilla, GENIOUS!!!!
Thank you so much baking pumpkins like that makes it much easyer
😊 Absolutely Enjoy Your Channel Ruthann I Thank you so much for sharing all the Wisdom!!
I wanted to give a second thumbs up for the dog in the snow at the end. So cute!
Just a wealth of knowledge and how to. Appreciate yr time and effort to do these videos.
I tried your baking method for pumpkins and it works fantastic- I will be trying your pie recipe this week! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a pleasure to watch your videos, so enjoy your smiling face. Blessings on you and yours in the mighty name above ALL names Jesus.
Your videos are AMAZING. So relaxed and informative. Thank you.
This was awesome...thank you for sharing a great video. Pumpkin is one of my favs and Fall is my favorite time of year....so thankful for everything and yes....GOD is GOOD...
Oh goodness, pumpkin whoopie pies, yum to the max
Great video, thank you for your videos I am from the UK and love watching your way of life, and learning a lot from your videos keep them coming.
You have inspired me to try using a real pumpkin to make pies. Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you for sharing, definitely hoping there is a pumpkin roll this thanksgiving now. 💛
I love this channel! You have so much to share ! Thanks!
*HomesteadingwiththeZimmermans here is a tip on softened butter. I don't know how you do it, but I found using the defrost option on the microwave works well to softened butter.
Makes me hungry for all the pumpkin things now! 🧡🧡🧡
I love what and how you do thing! you make me smile!
My pumpkin pies are always from Libby's pumpkin tins. I have a recipe for pies made from the pumpkin itself, but it's always looked like too much work. You make it look more doable. Libby's just saves me an extra step.
Gracias, me encanta todo lo que hace, es un ejemplo para mí, su madre y abuela deben sentirse muy orgullosa de usted. Gracias por compartir su conocimiento con todos.😊
Beautiful pies! This is the recipe I will be using this holiday season. Thank you!
Wow love the animals in the snow! Thank you for sharing your recipes they look wonderful! God is good! Happy Thanksgiving!🦃🍁
