The shirt swap was HILARIOUS! I had to rewind and make sure I hadn’t imagined it. Thank you for that little bit of comedy. I sure wish I could spend a day with you when you’re canning, learning from you hands on and being able to ask questions along the way.
For scooping out veggies while blanching large amounts, I use noodle baskets in a large boiling pot. Fill basket, they rest on the rim of the pot. in out, in out. Makes it easy.
I'm taking a break from canning, blanching, and freezing to watch you can, blanch and freeze.. haha. Beautiful work, you two! You'll have a lot of food to enjoy throughout the winter months ahead.
You two amaze me---you're like the energizer bunny --you just keep going and going and going! I get exhausted just watching you, but I love that you have such awesome gardens, and awesome harvests---you have a wonderful life---lots of hard work, but what an awesome life for two people to share!! God Bless you!! And your chickens love the wonderful "buffet" of what you don't keep!!
I have been binge watching y’all this weekend. Wonderful content. One of the things that I find most endearing about you is the care that you have for your dogs. Thank you for taking me on this amazing journey of yours.
Do you save the cores of the cauliflower? You should "rice" it with your grinder, then you can use it instead of real rice, pasta, and even bread, like for making a pizza. The "rice and pasta" versions only need a quick boil and it's ready to eat with anything you want to put on it. It's good on bruschetta or mashed into a spread with your choice of seasonings.
Would you ever consider putting out an ‘Alaskan Homesteader’s cookbook’? The first part being about growing and preserving veg, the second part about hunting, processing meat and meat base recipes like sausage, salmon jerky etc, and then the third part being the recipes you can make will all these things together? Like a Homesteaders Bible?
You guys always make it look so easy! We can see you both love to cook, can, BBQ and work with each other. You are also organized and clean. That love shows in all you grow and do. I particularly loved the "dueling knives" while preparing the kimchi! All that loving coming out of that little kitchen! Good job guys!🍷Cheers!
I can't tell how marvelous it is to see you "putting food by". I had a huge larder when I lived in Colorado in the 70's. At the altitude I lived it wasn't possible to have a garden but I made many trips to eastern Colorado and western Colorado to get fruit and veggies. I remember being up at one in the morning still canning because those peaches would not wait! Fantastic food.
Love how you two keep things light during a tedious day of prepping and canning. The “exchange of the shirts” was hysterical!💕 thank you for brightening up my evening!!
Busy time of the year! You two are working together great! You are about a month away from slowing down and 2 months from total relaxing! Every year your more tuned in as to what is needed and the best way to go about doing it too. You've got a hell of a lot of subscribers rooting for you! Hang in there!
I learned to make cowboy candy from you two. We love it! I made a batch of onion jam this week. Onions, balsamic and cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. OH HEAVENS, IS IT GOOD.
I had a glut of califlowers one year at university, basically they all came through rather than the usual loss of some of slugs and other creatures. Ended up making enough Piccalilli to keep even family in London supplied for the year (although the mustard and tumeric did stain my hands yellow for about a week)
That was amazing y'all! All of that beautiful fresh food prepared for getting you through the Winter! I love how you work together. Stay safe and healthy!
What a beautiful bounty of home grown food!!! You must be so proud and happy to be storing this away for the winter! Some pretty special goodies to look forward to!! Keep at it🤗 Stay safe, be happy!!❤
Love how simply you make it look to do all this canning and preserving. It's only me preserving so it is a huge task. I would love to know where you are getting your recipes from. They all look so simple. Thank you for your time in showing us how to prepare all the harvest.
Give raw fennel a try. My husband grew up in Naples, Italy, and he DESPISED the braised fennel that was served at his school. His mom used to make the following raw fennel recipe for him and I still make it. Thinly sliced fennel bulb, finely minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh lemon, olive oil, and fresh parsley. Those are the ingredients, as you know just adjust them for the quantity. Thanks for another great video.
Hi 👋I am sorry if this sounds weird but you wrote such a nice and interesting comment on here and I like it. Obviously you are a positive person. If it’s alright with you I’d love to be friends.
Eating good this winter! I love the harvest and storing up! So much work and technique goes into each individual item also, working as a team really makes it go quicker!
These are my favorite videos. It's what got me hooked on your channel. Love how the 2 of you work so well in the kitchen together. Reminds me of my mom and Aunt processing all the two huge gardens they each grew. One day we would be at my house and the next at Aunt Helen's. It's how they fed their families. you have beautiful jars for winter enjoyment! Question, does Eric have restaurant experience? Mad chopping skills for you both.
I love your canning videos! I just did 21 pints of bread and butter pickles yesterday, turmeric stains on my stove and counters. And dried strawberries. Next weekend canning corn.
My absolute FAVORITE time of the year are your canning videos!!! I could watch them over and over!! Such a plentiful bounty too!! I’m so happy y’all got some cowboy candy this year!!! I know you missed it last summer not making any!! Do you ever grate any of you zucchini and make bread with it?? It’s AMAZING and such a good bread!! For a change you can add chocolate chips to it and just little things. Very yummy!!!
My mom is Korean, and you can make kimchi with any vegetable, not just Napa cabbage. My favorite one is made with radish. You can even make kimchi with green onions as the main ingredient!
When I was a kid my sister and I would spend a couple of weeks at our grandparents during the summer, one of the memorable things was we would play games at the kitchen table and grandma would slice up raw turnips to munch on, we loved them, my mouth was watering watching all the veggies being chopped up! Thanks 😊
You both work great together canning i love you guys. My husband was a restaurant cook for 50yr he is retired now but he still cooks for me every day. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. My husband is a great cook like you both. I grew up on a farm so i know how hard you both work with no day off.
I like how Eric says kimchi like it’s a person’s name, Kim Chi 🫢. Another idea for the cauliflower is to rice it up or cut it up small (I use a food processor) to use as rice or to mix with rice to bulk it up with less calories.
@@MyNest20 I pickle cauliflower, and add a few onions. I do it on a brine with some sugar in it. I put then in raw, so they stay crisp. I don't have the yellow ones. Add some spices to the jar.
I am so thankful for this channel. I have a lot of health issues that wake me up. Today, was such a day, and first thing I did was come to this channel. It gets me through rough nights.
Vegetables, etc, have certain enzymes naturally present. When they're harvested, those enzymes start to break down the tissues, and blanching stops them. Cooking for a short span of time (usually a few minutes at most) breaks down those enzymes, and then chilling the food with cold water / an icewater bath stops the cooking process, leaving your vegetables, etc, ready to be frozen without reducing them to absolute mush, which can happen either from enzymes or from overcooking. Blanching is also strongly recommended for both freeze-drying and regular dehydrating your vegetables. (Enzymes will break down some of the vitamins & nutrients along with the plant tissues; blanching stops the quality of food from deteriorating.) If you've ever had a really good fresh-tasting but technically frozen pea, the retention of all that delicious flavor is thanks to that blanching process being done within an hour or two of picking those peas.
I was doing this on a smaller scale most of the week. It's been 85+ degrees and canning is rough when it's that hot and there's no air conditioning! I love how all the cans look though! Just salsa and maybe one more set of jam left to go.
YES!!! One of my fav episodes!!! Everyone has their favorites right? Preserving the veggies, salmon fishing trip/smoking and prepping, Moose processing, going to the cabin, all projects around the house......um yeah, so all of them......I should of just lead with all of them.....LMAO!!! The outtakes are absolutely hilarious!!!! Ariel said "you really think it was fron.....ok forn".....LMAO!!!!!
I love when you guys harvest and can! Everything you make looks so delicious! Those turnips are huge😲 I was wondering if you like (or ever make) zucchini bread? It's so good! 👍🤙
Have you guys ever thought of making cucumber kimchee with some of the cucumbers? It's one my favourites. You can make kimchee with green onions and radishes too. Also love them.
I second this! Cucumber kimchi is really good. Sometimes I chop my cabbage after its salt water bath but before processing and I mix small pieces of cucumber, green onion, and shredded carrot into the mix. I really like the taste and mouthfeel of the result.
AMAZING! The Sun has blessed your garden with tremendous growth. Here, not so. But I LOVE that you make the fooods that you enjoy eating. So sustainable. Really wish I could do the same but so far, no. I did prepare many one cup soup portions preparing for a surgery but that did not happen so I'm eating those one at a time. I hope by winter I'll have to start again making up soups. I wish you the very best, hoping you'll go fishing for those last holdouts. Are you in line for a moose this year? or even a wild pig? Do you have access to reindeer? I hope you do.
“I am better off with vegetables at the bottom of my garden than with all the fairies of the Midsummer Night's Dream.” - Dorothy L. Sayers, English crime writer and poet, 1893-1957. - Love watching the cycle of your veggies, from birth to canning.
I was oohing and ahhing at how productive you two are and my husband suggested we drop off our toddler with you and see how productive you are for the day lol. So if you’d like a two year old to kick things up a notch in a future kitchen video, let me know and he’s yours for the day! Sending love from Fairbanks!
We have no root cellar. No basement. No climate controlled storage and we live in the southern US where it is warm and humid. We keep dry goods (grain and dehydrated food) and some canned food in a shed and the rest of the canned items, especially meat, in our RV under the bed and in cabinets. We know it isn't ideal but it's what we have. Folks didn't have climate control a few generations ago and they managed so hopefully we do as well.
@UCRrrWMo9E3QR4WiIdpokosg I'm aware of that, Mz. Obvious. If their discussion/question was meant to be private, then a different venue would have been chosen. OP didn't complain, either. Just you. That may change, but, for now, you are the only one seeing fit to pull this discussion into a negative place. Everyone else is seeking information, sharing ideas, expressing gratitude or otherwise being positive. I hope you find happiness, dear.
What a great memory thus vedio gave me. My Husband's grandmother was from Korea. She would make this and she was always saying Not hot lol. Thank you. My mother law makes cucumber kimchi. Very good. Have a wonderful week. Really enjoy your vedios
You can add shredded pears or apples to your kimchi mixture that adds a natural sweetness and ferments really well! Love the diversity you have in your menu! And you’re so cute in the out takes lol it’s so apparent how much you love each other xoxox
Cowboy candy is the BEST! You can add it to literally everything, soups, salads, meals, stews etc. I just made mine with chilli's, vinegar and sugar. Also preserved peeled garlic cloves and sliced ginger in the same brine solution
Happy chicks!! Love to hear the clucking!! Look like healthy babes!! All the produce so fresh, large, pretty! Those onions look good, can almost smell them,makes me want one to eat right now!! I'm sure your cozy cabin smells divine!! I love pickles & relish!!
Hi 👋I am sorry if this sounds weird but you wrote such a nice and interesting comment on here and I like it. Obviously you are a positive person. If it’s alright with you I’d love to be friends.
The seasonality of your videos is super inspiring to all of here who can, thank you both! I'm for more people living a less affluent lifestyle ie cabin life as the environment flourishes around us. I love that many of us here are normalizing this endeavor. To those that do, keep it up.
Hi 👋I am sorry if this sounds weird but you wrote such a nice and interesting comment on here and I like it. Obviously you are a positive person. If it’s alright with you I’d love to be friends.
I had to stop and replay where you guys switched shirts like 3 times. Had me laughing for longer than I would like to admit! Thanks for making my night!
I watch out for your videos so was surprised this was posted a day ago and missed it. Drat! I hate that! I like you two, you make everything you do seem so effortless. I guess it is because you are both so in sync, also polite and nice to each other. Stay as sweet as you are ❤❤
Goodness that was a very productive couple of days. Looking forward to you processing another moose and seeing if Eric, Mr Muscles, can still carry the whole hind leg in again!! Love watching the canning and food processing you do. Stay same x
My husband took a canning lid and ring from regular and wide mouth jars. He put a hole in the center and I feed all my rings over the string around 150 per rope. They just hang in my pantry behind my aprons! I also broke my jar lids down into bins of 150. I grab a rope, a box, and my canning pots! Then I’m off to can until my hearts content! Happy canning! I just put up some dragonfruit, vanilla, lemon zest jelly! It’s AMAZING on cheese boards!
Have you thought about giardiniera? It's Italian pickled veggies. You use carrots, celery, cauliflower & pepperoncini. Also, have you ever made a mustard chow chow? Everything you made looks amazing! I wish we had the space to store canned & frozen veggies! My Mom used to can & freeze veggies & fruits & made jams & jellys! It is so nice to see you making all this stuff! It brings back a lot of happy memories 😊! Be safe & say hi 👋🏻 to the doggies & kitty! ❤ from your friend in Virginia!!
The switching of your shirts was a " hold on, wait a minute, moment" Lol. So creative, you two.
I came here to post this! I love the little inside jokes & Easter eggs.
I’m on pain medicine and I wasn’t sure if it was that or What! 😀
I thought I was losing my mind!! They did change shirts!!
Same!! Lmao! Eric just didn’t look right in Arielle’s shirt! No offense Eric. 😜
I know. I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I had to rewind ⏪ twice. 🤣
The shirt swap was HILARIOUS! I had to rewind and make sure I hadn’t imagined it. Thank you for that little bit of comedy.
I sure wish I could spend a day with you when you’re canning, learning from you hands on and being able to ask questions along the way.
Hahaha so funny! I did the same! I had to go back, I thought my eyes were playing tricks in me. ❤️
…shirts!…
Sammee 😂😂
Love the shirt switch. Did a double take and had to go back to check! Cute😄
Me too thought I was nuts.
Me too! Say what?
Lol same. Watched it twice to make sure what I was seeing was real!
I made my husband watch it 3 times before he caught it :)
I also went back, thought my eyes were messing with me...🤣🤣 then I realized it was Eric and Ariel messing with all of us...just love those two. 😍
Those turnips are beyond beautiful ❤❤
Always love how roosters call the ladies over when they find treats....always trying to keep the ladies happy.
Gotta make up for the rapin' somehow.

For scooping out veggies while blanching large amounts, I use noodle baskets in a large boiling pot. Fill basket, they rest on the rim of the pot. in out, in out. Makes it easy.
So smart! I love finding these little helpful tips.
So smart! Just joined and enjoying it.
lol! the shirt switch...🤣 Y'all are adorkable!
Had to go back thought I seen the swap lol
I hit replay too! Lol 😂 loved it.
I'm taking a break from canning, blanching, and freezing to watch you can, blanch and freeze.. haha. Beautiful work, you two! You'll have a lot of food to enjoy throughout the winter months ahead.
Same! 😂🤣
Always a joy watching you guys store up for the winter 🌼
You two amaze me---you're like the energizer bunny --you just keep going and going and going!

It's a perfect Sunday now...❤️

I had to back that up a minute to make sure I hadn't imagined that shirt switcheroo! Just love you two!
Growing up, my mom would can
between 3000 and 3500 quarts a season.
Including mixed vegetables, tomato soup and juice.
What size family did that feed for the winter?
@@samanthab6337 there were 6 kids and both parents
My Mom did too. A bad year held us over. She died last year and I still have some of her canned goods.

Very interesting 🙂 we eat/cook the stems on occasion but haven't tried processing the core like you mentioned.

ever thought I would enjoy watching a couple canning, but I love watching this awesome couple.
You guys are the hardest worker's ever I love how down to earth you two are, as well as being just transparent and real . your my favorite !
Next time you make pickles, use grape leaves in each jar, the tannin is next to none for crispiness. ❤
I learned to make cowboy candy from you two. We love it!
I made a batch of onion jam this week. Onions, balsamic and cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon and cardamom. OH HEAVENS, IS IT GOOD.
Ooh that's on our list next 😀
It's also so good mixed into cornbread!
I often think to myself how beautiful the colours of the veg are, and then you comment on it as well. How amazing is nature!
🌈eat a rainbow everyday!🌈
I had a glut of califlowers one year at university, basically they all came through rather than the usual loss of some of slugs and other creatures. Ended up making enough Piccalilli to keep even family in London supplied for the year (although the mustard and tumeric did stain my hands yellow for about a week)
Wow I love piccalilli ❤️
I was going to suggest piccalilli, one of my favorites
That was amazing y'all!
All of that beautiful fresh food prepared for getting you through the Winter!
I love how you work together.
Stay safe and healthy!
Hooray! I’ve been hoping you would post a new video! Love your canning and preserving videos.
What a beautiful bounty of home grown food!!! You must be so proud and happy to be storing this away for the winter! Some pretty special goodies to look forward to!! Keep at it🤗 Stay safe, be happy!!❤
I always love the seeing fruits of your labor from summer to winter! Truly a great homestead
The shirt switcheroo was the funniest! I had to rewind a couple of times to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me!😂😂👏👏👏
When I worked in fast food, we had a dicer that we used in tomatoes and onions. I bet that would work great with zucchini as well :)
It does I have one at home now!!!
I’ m still chuckling at the shirt switch in the video!!!

Many people do canning outside. Worth a shot, if you can get the stuff to do it on.
You still amaze me with all the work that goes into preserving your garden! Enjoy the fruits of your labour!

One of my favorite quotes.
She is one of my favorite authors. I adore Lord Peter Whimsy and Bunter.
Enjoy watching you two work together!

So if you’d like a two year old to kick things up a notch in a future kitchen video, let me know and he’s yours for the day! Sending love from Fairbanks!
A fast time today. Everything looks so delicious and beautiful. Thanks again for the visit.
Any update on storage? Where will you store all the canned food without the root cellar?
We have no root cellar. No basement. No climate controlled storage and we live in the southern US where it is warm and humid. We keep dry goods (grain and dehydrated food) and some canned food in a shed and the rest of the canned items, especially meat, in our RV under the bed and in cabinets.
We know it isn't ideal but it's what we have. Folks didn't have climate control a few generations ago and they managed so hopefully we do as well.

Fermented cauliflower is my new favorite. Maybe use one head for that. It's preserved for a short to medium length of time.
That kimchi looks absolute bomb. Looking forward to seeing the end product. Do you think you'll jar them once the ferment is done?
Yes we will jar them;)
This comforts me knowing that you’re going to enjoy this marvelous bounty while it barks and growls outside.
So funny, laughing about the "frond" of dill. On a play on words, "fond" is the lovely brown bits left in the pan after browning things like onions.
The outtakes cracked me up. Lots of lovely food. Great work! God bless!
I love what a wonderful team and beautiful relationship you 2 have. Keep up all your hard work. Thanks for the video

Cowboy candy is the BEST! You can add it to literally everything, soups, salads, meals, stews etc. I just made mine with chilli's, vinegar and sugar. Also preserved peeled garlic cloves and sliced ginger in the same brine solution
I would hate to loss your beautiful ring in gardening, fishing and canning. That is some wonderful veggies you grew.
Happy chicks!! Love to hear the clucking!! Look like healthy babes!!
All the produce so fresh, large, pretty! Those onions look good, can almost smell them,makes me want one to eat right now!! I'm sure your cozy cabin smells divine!! I love pickles & relish!!
Beautiful Canning!
Hi 👋I am sorry if this sounds weird but you wrote such a nice and interesting comment on here and I like it. Obviously you are a positive person. If it’s alright with you I’d love to be friends.
It’s always fun to have so many jars canned in a couple days
The seasonality of your videos is super inspiring to all of here who can, thank you both!
I'm for more people living a less affluent lifestyle ie cabin life as the environment flourishes around us. I love that many of us here are normalizing this endeavor.
To those that do, keep it up.
the shirt switch was great! my daughter got a kick out of it when I showed her. :)
Awesome…. You guys are killing it.👍
Have a fantastic week you guys.
Loved the outfit change! 😉 I really enjoy all your preservation videos!

I had to stop and replay where you guys switched shirts like 3 times. Had me laughing for longer than I would like to admit! Thanks for making my night!
I watch out for your videos so was surprised this was posted a day ago and missed it. Drat! I hate that! I like you two, you make everything you do seem so effortless. I guess it is because you are both so in sync, also polite and nice to each other. Stay as sweet as you are ❤❤
Goodness that was a very productive couple of days. Looking forward to you processing another moose and seeing if Eric, Mr Muscles, can still carry the whole hind leg in again!! Love watching the canning and food processing you do. Stay same x
Quite the process you have there!! I love harvesting and processing all the garden goodys!!
so much love and respect, U guys are awesome and such an inspiration, THANK U BOTH....
also pure comedy at 6:07 love it so much
Oh my gosh, I love your channel even more with the switcharoo of your shirts!
Impressive synchronization! You work very well together. Thanks for sharing.
My husband took a canning lid and ring from regular and wide mouth jars. He put a hole in the center and I feed all my rings over the string around 150 per rope. They just hang in my pantry behind my aprons! I also broke my jar lids down into bins of 150. I grab a rope, a box, and my canning pots! Then I’m off to can until my hearts content!
Happy canning!
I just put up some dragonfruit, vanilla, lemon zest jelly! It’s AMAZING on cheese boards!
My favorite video type!! Canning and preserving!!! ❤️❤️❤️
LOL @ the shirt swap cuts! Thanks for sharing your life with us!
22:11 "Fond" 😆 💛 You guys are the best!!!
Have you thought about giardiniera? It's Italian pickled veggies. You use carrots, celery, cauliflower & pepperoncini. Also, have you ever made a mustard chow chow? Everything you made looks amazing! I wish we had the space to store canned & frozen veggies! My Mom used to can & freeze veggies & fruits & made jams & jellys! It is so nice to see you making all this stuff! It brings back a lot of happy memories 😊!
Be safe & say hi 👋🏻 to the doggies & kitty! ❤ from your friend in Virginia!!
We have tried chow chow but not giardiniera 🙂 looks like something we would be interested in.
@UC3FHvW16m_i117IqPnb0nmA it is very good! The chow chow you make; is it mustard style? I just love that!
