    In this series we're going to share how we live off of the food that we grow in our community garden plots, or forage and hunt in the woods. This week we're showing y'all how we make "ice cream" from foraged walnuts!
    Listen to more of Ethan's original music here: / lennoxec

    I think having to work that hard for the food and making recipes makes every bite a celebration. And not think you could eat it and get more in the grocery store. 😊

    Question, do you know why there is such color variation in walnuts? At first I thought you were accidentally getting bits of the shell in when you were separating them out, but then I looked closer and noticed that it's just a natural variation.

    • @HomegrownHandgathered
      @HomegrownHandgathered  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some are more dried out than others. They darken as they dry and they also get a lot sweeter 🙂

    We got a walnut cracker similar to what you have, but tbh still struggling to get walnut pieces like you all do. Mostlybend up with teeny tiny bits. Any advice?

    I'm really interested in buying your course but I don't live in North America. Would it still be useful for me? I know for example that the module on growing mushrooms would be useful, but I'm not sure about the rest. How much of your course is specific to your local context? oh and lovely videos and music!!

    • @HomegrownHandgathered
      @HomegrownHandgathered  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The gardening course is pretty much applicable anywhere, but the foraging course is mostly plants and mushrooms that are native to North America. Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 🙂

    I love seeing how you all are using nuts most people don’t realize are super tasty. Also, the green fruit from the black walnuts makes a beautiful dye for wool and I think you could use it for your leather work too.

    How lovely you managed an ice cream. Sometimes, only something sweet will do. The children in my family enjoy honey sickles. We puree a jar of our canned peaches or cherries then add a little honey and put it into a mold to freeze. They have the same satisfied face as the gent in the video. I hope you both enjoy every spoonful.

    I actually found your channel from a earlier walnut collecting video of yours. You inspired me to collect my walnuts this year{ 2-1/2 wheelbarrows full } and wash and cure them. They have a buttery taste ,so glad I finally figured how to save them correctly! Thanks for all the great videos and information!

    When I was little my neighbors were sisters that live next to each other. They would gather the walnuts and clean and then dry them for use over the winter. It's a core memory of mine as a young child. I would help them. And I can still smell the pungent scent of the outer skins. To this day I'm 41 I haven't foraged for them but if I ever needed to I could. ❤

    What does it mean when the bees are flapping their wings and holding their butts up in the air!! Clip cut off right before the explanation! I’m so curious 😭

    • @HomegrownHandgathered
      @HomegrownHandgathered  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      They’re sending out pheromones to the rest of the colony to let them know where they ended up. That’s how they stay together when they swarm and find a new home

  • @qualqui
    @qualqui 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    With your comment on the ecosystem around Pittsburgh dear Sylvan, you've made me see that there is also good things over here, at 6,500ft.above sea level, land-locked, the coastal mountain ranges do a good job of restricting clouds coming inland so only during the summer monsoon do we get any substantial rainfall, so this means we're categorized as 'semi-arid' where cacti, other succulents and mesquites thrive well and something I didn't know that Aaron in TN made a video of, the Pindo Palm, whose small orange-colored plum-flavored fruit is edible?!! There are Pindo palms here, but its sad that many folks only see beautiful ornamentals separated from the edible trees and plants. Buen provecho on the ice cream treat, this would be Black Walnut honey Ice cream right? You don't see this ice cream on sale at stores or malls for sure!

    • @HomegrownHandgathered
      @HomegrownHandgathered  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      They’re blowing out pheromones to signal to the rest of the colony where they ended up. That way the colony stays together when they swarm

    I know what you mean about the marker flavour too. A few years back when I found found a bunch at the foot of a tree down the road, I hammered it open and tried it fresh.
    It didn’t exactly leave me wanting to come back for more.
    So I love to see all the ways you find to make it more palatable.

    Fun fact ice cream was more likely made in the winter due to the abundance of snow, mixing the cream collected from skimming the milk. So anytime is ice cream time, especially winter😂.

    Walnut shell, the soft green one can be boiled, and you can use the water to rinse your hair. It prevents your hair from going gray too soon. My grandmother did this her whole life and still had black hair with only a few grays well into her 50s :)

    Osiyo! I just love your lifestyle and what you both promote!! More people need to be like this. I recommend that you invest in a glass blender tho. Especially with putting hot stuff in your blender , it leeches BPA and other chemicals into your foods. You can get a class one for $40 or less and it's less plastic in use. Keep doing what you are both doing cuz you are both the change the world must see. Love you both!! Aho🦅🏹

    Well black walnuts tastes like spoiled or rancid nuts. My dad loved them but i think it was so nobody would eat what they are made into. He would enjoy it all by himself. I still don't like black walnut or butternuts both taste the same to me .... ill let someone else enjoy them. Your show is always interesting. Thank you for sharing your hard work and time with me
