The way your hubby looks at you makes me so happy for you. But this is only my 3rd or 4th video of yours I've watched and I already adore you--- so no wonder he gives you that look. Fan girl right here.
14:52 You are so clever to use apples in that way with that soup recipe. I will be adding it to my recipe book to give it a try this fall. Looks like the perfect comfort soup. I am impressed with all you did in one day. Busy lady.
Last year I peeled and cored 2 bushels of apples, and if the peels weren't damaged, I put them, with the cores, into my big electric roaster, put water under the roaster pan, and filled the roaster pan about 1/3 to 1/2 full with water. I turned it on low, and let it cook overnight. I drained the peels and cores, and took the liquid that was left, and turned it into apple jelly. It was delicious! I did the same thing with pears. Both the apples and pears i got off of trees we planted when we first built our house. Last year is the first year, in 25 years we've lived here, that we got such an abundance of pears! We never sprayed either of our apple or pear trees, so I trusted they were "clean" enough, to use the peels to make jelly.
That sounds delicious! I have a big bucket of pears sitting on my counter, maybe I will give that a try. Thank you for sharing how you processed them. -Cara
That's a very long day in the kitchen, I love how you are making from memory that's a lot of knowledge. The apple and butternut soup was a surprise. Your kitchen playlist is increasing which is good because I can keep coming back to this for reference.
I am so glad you liked the video! I tried to make some recipes that may not first come to mind when someone thinks about apples. There are so many savory recipes that are great not just sweet! 😊 I really enjoyed filming the cooking videos so there will definitely be more to come in the future 🧡😊-Cara
Perfect timing of this video! We have 50 apple trees and we’ve been picking apples nonstop for the last three days trying to get everything picked before our first really hard frost. Excited to try some of these!
Apple pancakes just sound so good!! Also, really impressed you are able to do many recipes at one time, the sign of a great baker.😀 The apple and butternut squash looked delicious.
You should save your peels to make Apple Cider Vinegar. Just put peels in a quart jar, add 1Thsp. sugar, add water to fill, and cover with a towel or piece of fabric and leave set on counter for 3-4 wks to ferment. Strain and seal.
I love peppermint tea. I get mine from the yard. Here in East Tennessee, wild peppermint is plentiful plus I have a patch I bought at a garden center years ago. In my shade garden I have some lemon balm my hubby loves. It will dry up fever blisters, shingles and any other form of herpes. I've had shingles twice and I was amazed how it reduced the pain and dried the blisters.
Hello Cara! That was alot of great recipes you made. Everything looked delicious. That was awesome you had some help in the kitchen peeling apples. If my husband had time he would help me in the kitchen, extra hands sure makes a difference. There is a few recipes I'd like to try. Thanks for sharing.💞
Hi Sylvia! 😊 I was really grateful for Ryan’s help while the kids were napping. The extra hands made everything go faster, plus the company was pretty good too 😉 -Cara
This is an amazing compilation of apple recipes! That was a lot of work. Everything looked beautiful and delicious. I will definitely be trying some of your recipes! Thanks for sharing.
I love your Channel so much! You give such a sweet energy! God bless you and your beautiful family ❤️ Watching from Brazil 🇧🇷 My mom also loves your Channel even though she doesnt understand english lol
Wow what a nice gift you received. So many tasty things you've prepared. Not sure if the apple pancakes or the scones were my favorite. I like earl grey. I hope you slept well last night; you earned a great night sleep.
Hey, you hit 1k! So excited for you! 🎉 English toffee tea sounds amazing! 🙌 Chemicals give me a headache too 🤕 Every single recipe looked scrumptious 😋 I can’t even pick a favorite. Awesome video my friend! ❤🍏 I have to save this video to reference often 🌱
Hey Nicole!! 😊😊 Thank you so much 😆 The english toffee tea was really good, you should try out that sampler pack if you like teas, every flavor has been delicious so far. Oh no, headaches are no fun! Let me know if you try any of the recipes! 😊😊🧡 -Cara
I am amazed of all the delicious foods you made from the apples they all looks delicious! Also I am a tea person I love deferent types of tea . Thanks for sharing!
Ohh how interesting! I have never tried that before, I will defiantly experiment with that this year. I am hoping for a bumper crop of strawberries this spring. -Cara
Thank you for including savory recipes and not just sweet! I enjoyed seeing the variation of with the apples! Those scones look so good! Do you prefer the drop biscuit technique you were talking about or one of the other ways? Is there a different in taste?
The drop biscuit technique gives the edges a little bit more a crispy exterior because there is more surface area exposed to the air. If you bake the dough in one big mound they are a little bit softer, but you do have to bake them a little bit longer. I hope that helps answer your question. -Cara
@@bluebirdhomestead Thank you for the througho explanation, that makes sense about baking them longer. Have you ever used a convection oven? What is the cook time for that. We just got one and I am not sure how it works.
@@justintime8314 Yes I have. We have a convection oven. It basically uses a fan inside the oven to circulate the heat evenly. It is really nice if you are doing multiple trays of something because then you don't have to rotate the trays. It typically makes things cook slightly faster when using the convection setting I have found. -Cara
@@justintime8314 Not particularly. I do like the convection for baking more, but if I am roasting I tend to go for the traditional oven function/setting
I hope you have a wonderful day as well! Was a lot of fun, but yes definitely a lot of time. It was about 15 hours of cooking condensed into a 30 minutes video haha
I buy the tea from jingtea in the UK. It costs a fortune to get it shipped to Norway, but is worth it. Usually stick to gunpowder jasmin green tea, but there are some other white tea types that are really good. Great content and quality videos.
My lunch lady introduced me to Better than Bullion and I have never looked back! I've eyed that apple corer... We have the food processor attachment (the one that dices) for my KA and I love it... but a robo coupe that dices is on my list when my Cuisinart food processor bites the dust (but I have had it forever and its going strong!).
My mom has the same cuisinart food processor model that I have for 30 years and it is still going strong! :) The better than bullion is seriously soooo good. I love the punch of flavor it brings. 😀 -Cara
thank you 😊 It is by Zline. It is a propane cooktop with a 1.5 electric oven. I actually find that small half oven on the left really useful. It is great for side dishes or a loaf of bread 😊-Cara
I used pressure canner pot, but as a water bath canner. I processed the quart jars of apple sauce for 20 minutes after they came to a boil then I removed the lid and let them sit in the hot water for another 5 minutes. -Cara :)
@@bluebirdhomestead Thank you, Cara. I have some diced apples in cans that someone gave me, and Blinda and I was wanting to can some applesauce to have on hand for the grands when they come over.
@@LifewithBlindaandChuck That's great! You can't beat homemade applesauce! It is always a yummy treat. I am sure your grandkids will love having some when they come over :) Are you a team chunky or smooth applesauce? -Cara
My admiration of your abilities has grown as I watch you in the kitchen, nothing is a hassle to you. Keep shining your light.
Thank you so much 😊 That is so kind of you to say 💚

Aww thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment! The soup recipe in this video is a favorite of ours, I hope you give it a try! -Cara
Rod and I enjoyed watching you do up all your apples. I love seeing Ryan helping you also.
Thank you 😊 Ryan is a great help! I love it when we can do things together too 🧡
Thank you for the new video 😊🇯🇵. Continuation is a shortcut to success. I'll follow your example ^ ^💕. I'm happy to be connected ☺️👍☆

The apple pancakes looked great!

💞Autumn: favorite season for the senses. Sight, sound, taste & scent, mmm mmm.
Agree 💯! The cooler weather is so nice too!

The apple butternut squash soup looks great! Could you make it without an instant pot? I don't own one.
You definitely could 😊 Just cooking it on the stove with a lid stirring until everything is soft enough to purée 😊
@@bluebirdhomestead great thank you! I gave your recipe a try today and it was really good! 👍
@@user-lv4cj4sk2k Yeah!! 😆 I am so glad you liked it!

Wow 50 apples trees 😍😮😍😮 What varieties of apple do you have?
I have butternut squash cooked! Love the idea of adding apples to the soup! Will try it! Thanks Cara!

🍵 hibiscus tea is my morning treat for blood pressure stabilization. Mixed root tea for evening relaxation.
That's great! Do you make your own tea blends?
@@bluebirdhomestead yes, but not with a recipe. I hope to figure out recipes for tea blends & seasoning mixes to use as a side income next year.
