You know, if I had my life to live over again, I would have loved to be taken in, and adopted into an Appalachian family and learn all the wonderful things you people AND the incredible place you live in offers!! It would be great to hear all the family stories, passed down recipes, ALL the great food dishes, the incredible porch music, and just plain survival and living amongst you all. Just hearing you talk in your videos gives off a sense of unity at home, and a super family oriented way of life :-) and it seems you are all affected very little by the going ons of the craziness in the rest of the world!
Where ever a person lives there are traditions, family stories, recipes, and just plain history.We just have to investigate the place we grew up. Talk to the the older people in a family and then go to senior citizen meeting and talk to the oldest ones there. It's all there we just have to find all the memories.
My Granny Cochrane used to put a white sheet on the picnic table in her backyard. On top of it she'd put a layer of peeled cored, and quartered apples. Then shed put a thin white cloth on top of the apples. They would dry out in the sun. She'd then take them in and put them into mesh bags and hang them up by nails on the wall. This would be somewhere around the end of the summer. Those apples would hang in this bags on the wall until Christmas. Then she'd put those dried apples in a big pot put sugar cinnamon cloves and ginger in the in that pot with some water and cook it. It would turn this deep dark brown color. Then she'd make a simple cake batter using self rising flour, shortening eggs and sugar and vanilla flavoring she'd then start putting that batter in thin layers in pans and on the bottom of cast iron skillets to make it the same size as her round cake pans that she had. She made 17 layers. She put the apple sauce. As she called it in layers on a plate. The top layer nit having any sauce. Nor icing. It was one of the best cakes I've ever had oh yes sorry. She'd put a pinch of salt in her cake batter. And a pinch of salt in the sauce. She called it her. 17 layer cake. It was so fun to watch her make it.
We use pumpkin for all sorts of recipes in Australia, usually the harder, tougher type of pumpkin. We roast pumpkin with vegetables to have with our Sunday roast, pumpkin muffins, tea cakes, waffles, pancakes, cookies etc, savory pumpkin and pumpkin cakes. Love my pumpkin. Definitely going to look up the candy roasters and make these cookies. Have a great day Tipper and stay safe.
I'm glad you Aussie's recognize the taste and health benefits of pumpkin, my friends from the UK make fun of me as an American for eating a lot of pumpkin.😆
I'd love to see a recipe with dandelion greens, watercress or creasy greens. My WV grandmother and mother made it with hot peeled boiled chopped white potatoes, chopped boiled eggs, crispy crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and 🧂 over the greens. You make a dressing with hot bacon fat from bacon in skillet. Stirring in flour, salt, cider vinegar, and some water to thicken. Pour hot dressing over greens mixture and stir until mixed. Soooo delicious.
I just found my first candy roaster squash at the Farmer's Market this weekend. It caught my eye because I remembered this video. My friends said it was recommended to them by a woman from down south who said it was one of her favorites so they gave it a try. Cut worms got them the last couple years but this year they used diatomaceous earth and got a good harvest. I can't wait to try it!
Applebutter! When I was a kid in Illinois I would make applebutter and black walnut open face sandwiches. I'm 73 now and still love them. Black walnuts are my favorite nut.
The cookies looked just like I like them! Never heard of candy roasters, but @ 64 this is my first year gardening. I love most all pumpkin recipes so if I can get some seed I'll try growing them next year. Thank you for another fine video Tipper.
We used to grow “Cushaws”. Mom cooked them like a desert, with lots of butter and sugar! She would roast one in the oven, then ad butter and sugar. Cushaws were wonderful.
We had hard shell cushaws that mommy would use a hatchet to crack. Boy were they delicious cooked down in butter and brown sugar or sometimes white sugar
Oh my goodness the cookies look amazing. I bet they are delicious. I love your recipes and enjoy seeing you cook them. So yes ma’am I hope you keep making cooking videos. I love the mountains and enjoy your videos very much. God bless y’all.
The Candy Roaster is so smooth and sweet! I baked some, then dehydrated some of mine. The Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma has a seed bank. In the spring, if you are a registered member of the CN, one can request to receive 2 packages of the heirloom seeds that are traditional to the Cherokees. Most of the initial seeds came from the Eastern Band of Cherokees and were then grown-out in Oklahoma. The plants were so successful that the Seed Bank can now share them with tribal members. I got 2 nice squash about 3 years ago and saved all of the seeds. They were slow to germinate and didn't grow very much. I don't have good growing ground but I will try again to grow them in a pot. Tipper, do you have any growing tips for the squash?
Omg rly?!? I never knew that!! Im definitely going to do that! As a Texan Cherokee i miss out on everything lol especially considering its my late dads side that is Cherokee, my moms is Blackfoot, im a Native mutt haha but my dads fam has never really liked us "half breeds" but im still apart of and still adore the Cherokee culture and wish i knew more. i didnt grow up on the rez so i hope that doesn't disqualify me.
@@CelebratingAppalachia id love an entire series of planting/farming/crops/etc tips. As someone who desperately loves it I absolutely suck at it haha my mom has such a green thumb and i kill every plant within a 100 ft radius 😅 its one area i want to know all about but im someone who is not good at learning just from reading alone. Its so much easier to have someone show the way.
I'm in Colorado and I used 4 palettes to build a raised bed. I filled it with composted all winter then added some bags of compsted manure on top. A bag is about 4 bucks. You can get the seeds from bakercreek seeds. Plant five or six indoors a couple of weeks before the last Frost. Put them in the ground as soon as you think it won't freeze. I get about 10 squash from my four by four palette container. Just watch and when the leaves droop water them. My great grandmother was from the Oklahoma reservations so it's interesting to know the squash I'm growing could have been grown by her parents.
I just love our rich heritage and the food and cooking are such a big part of our Appalachian heritage. My Grandmother was such a fine cook and she had both an electric stove and a wood cook stove in her kitchen. She used both, it seems that there are some things that cannot be duplicated when cooked on an electric stove only a wood stove works! It's also toasty warm in cold weather!
What a pleasant surprise, stumbling on a cooking video from you. I love to cook and Appalachian cooking is nothin to me other than the way I grew up eating here in Texas, thanks to my granny coming from KY to stay with us while mom worked. Listening to your videos is like sitting on the porch visiting with family. I remember people actually going to VISIT. What an odd concept to the insanity of today's world. God bless you and your family and keep you safe. By the way, you don't talk neer as up the holler as my kin folk in Southwest Kentucky. 😁👍
We call them banana squash and you're right those vines will ramble all over. I had planted one under an apple tree and didn't notice that the vine climbed right into the tree until in late summer I noticed an enormous egg shaped squash hanging about 10 feet up hidden in the apple foilage. It had sent out all those little securing tendrils to hold the weight of it onto numerous branches. I tried to pull it down and even hang on the vine with my substantial weight and it didn't budge. So I left it there until fall and the vine was drying up. My husband went up on the ladder and cut it down and that thing weighed over 20 pounds. I thought it might have been a banana-hubbard blend because I had also planted and harvested hubbard squashes and the bees do funny things out here. But it ended up looking to be banana as it elongated. I like that you folks call it a Candy Roaster - that's just a real nice and descriptive nickname.
Charlie Louvin had a music park in Henegar Al not far from my home. We went to his bluegrass festival every year it was held when I was a child. Charlie was a sweet man. Mother always said that we were related to him, but I never could prove it
I’m just so thankful for your videos. Can’t wait to try these cookies. I feel like I’ve found a new friend - you just make it so homey and inviting. Thanks for all you’ve done to bring the Appalachian way of life to the forefront. Having just moved to East Tennessee from California, I’m anxious to learn all I can. Going to check out your Blog as well.
Oh Tipper!! Those cookies sound heavenly! Can't wait to bake some. I might have to use pumpkin because I've not seen the candy roasters in my grocery store.
Thank you for a great video. Maybe you could show chicken recipes? Roasted or fried chicken. My pop pop (country boy from Virginia) made the best roasted chicken but I don't have his recipe or technique.
Tipper I love your mixer I shire its a big help .my aunt Bessie is gone now but she would make a 3 layer pumpkin cake and covered each layer with carrot cake icing and poured blackberry preserves all around it that was one of my favorite cakes when I was a kid wow that was 50 years ago w her does the time go .
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will be on the lookout for candy roaster squash at the markets. I love butternut squash, but candy roasters sound good. Blessings...🙏💕🥰
I planted 2 hills of candy roaster this year. They were planted late. I still wound up with 34 mature squash and plenty of immature fruit for the chickens. I'll be trying these cookies in the coming week.
You know? Maybe she’ll see your video? I know it sounds far fetched, but you just never know... sending love and health to y’all from Sue in California♥️🤗🌞☘️🙏🏻🙋♀️‼️😘
Those cookies look wonderful. My wife doesn't like the things I like since she;s a yankee but that won't stop me from trying candyroasters. Thanks Tipper.
I don't think I've ever heard of Candy Roaster, but you can bet I'll have it in my garden next year. I just so happened to be putting up pumpkin when I saw your recipe and had to try it. That was two days ago and the cake-like cookies are gone! This recipe is a keeper! Thank you for sharing.
I remember the Louven Bros..Every story you tell is so interesting. And the way you cook is how my mother cooked, and my sister and I do. Same dishes Mama made. You stir so many memories. I also rem Mama cracking black walnuts. That was her favorite ice cream.
When you called the Candy Roaster a fruit, I got curious and googled it. Squash are indeed fruit and not vegetables. Huh, I learn something everyday. ❤️🇨🇦
I love your videos. Take care! You’re loved here in upstate SC. I’m familiar not only with your speech and traditions, but you’re so sincere in your love for the history and ways of our Appalachia, as am I, , I would love one day to be able to just sit down for coffee and some good conversation with you. I feel like you’re a friend already.
What a wealth of learning from this video.... with those wonderful spices imagine those cookies smelled so good cooking.... I get Jim's newsletter via email ... so enjoy his sharings , he sure has a way with words...think when I try out this recipe for the first time I'll use pumpkin as I have some on hand . I may work them up into a bar cookie in a 9x13 ,sprinkle some extra nuts on top ,then drizzle with a glaze ....sometimes I do oatmeal cookies that way using chopped figs instead of raising plus the walnuts,,,with a thin glaze on top...when I worked for the school cafeterias we had a lot of figs from the government to use...Like raisins too. Love smelling up the kitchen with something good , like Thanksgiving morning.
What a wealth of information. The cookies look delicious. Would you mind sharing the duvet brothers you talked about? I am learning so much from your videos.
Dana-It's the Louvin Brothers. You can find all kinds of their music on TH-cam here's one link: th-cam.com/video/UsrpYpRqWPM/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching!!
Wondering if this is what my grandpa raised. They were fairly good sized and oblong. Have no idea what my grandma did with them as don’t remember eating anything pumpkin like at her house. Think I will try those cookies. Thank you for sharing
You mentioned favorite Appalachian recipes. There is nothing more Appalachian than fried apple pies. Mine have always flopped. I used to use a recipe for pie, and could use Candy Roaster, pumpkin or sweet potato which I kept frozen packages of all.
Shirley-mine have never been good either! I make the dough and add the filling and then I bake them in the oven 😀 I need a master pie fryer to show me how they do theirs!
Here's one for you. Cinnamon pie. Perhaps you may know how to make it. My grandmother was from Polk County Tennessee and she would make this wonderful pie. I've not known of anyone who could make one like it. I'm guessing it was one of those recipes that you just throw together when you wanted something sweet and that's all you had in the cupboard. It was kinda like a custard - it had egg and plain flour in it.
I have made pies with banana squash (what we call them here in MO) and I think it tastes better than pumpkin too!! I will have to tell my relatives another name is candy roasters. Such a cute way to call them.
Hi, I wanted to try and make this recipe but to my surprise you can't buy Candy roaster squash in a can. In this era of time when you can get most anything I was just surprised. I will have to look and see if my region can grow it, we can grow pumpkins so with any luck I can grow it. I had never heard of black walnuts before and I was able to buy those to try the potato cake with them, which I plan to make next week. Thanks so much, you always have such interesting videos.
I live in Philadelphia PA and have never seen or heard of a candy roaster squash. They sure sound delicious! I wonder if they can grow in our climate. I read that they are found only in north Georgia, West North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee. I am going to talk to some local farmers to find out if they grow around here.
The cookies look Larpin (delicious) as my mommy would say. I can’t stop looking at your beautiful countertops. Are they wood? They are the prettiest things I’ve seen. Can you show a picture of them or describe what they are?
This year we planted candy roaster squash in our garden and boy, we got some great looking squashes! I harvested three in early September. As I was cutting into the squash it was very wet and SLIMY, which I thought was weird. Did I harvest too early? I thought they were ready for harvest as our neighbors from Central America wanted to buy them all Thanks - love your channel!
I'm not sure. I usually don't use mine for at least a few months after they ripen so maybe yours was just really fresh and hadn't had time to dry out some 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Ah, the curing process....that's what I forgot. If I lay them back in the garden on a bed of straw do you think they will dry out?
@@maggieferguson21 How long have you had them inside? I lay mine on my covered porch for a couple of weeks up to a month after harvesting. You might be able to let them cure inside your house. Just keep them out of direct sunlight. If you do an internet search you'll likely find more info about curing them 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia I've had them indoors for about 5 days, but will take them down the basement for curing. Thank you so much for caring about me and my squashes. BLessings!
Do you ever make pickled beans and corn? Y mother used to and I love it. I can't find anyone who does it now. Also mom used to make hominy. She was raised in Swain County, N.C.
Tipper I still cringe when I hear myself on a recording, I sound so hickish most people just laugh. I remember once when I visited an old army buddy way up north (near Chicago) people just wanted to sit down and just listen to my thick southern drawl. In my yonder years I’m proud of the way I sound! Compared to me y’all sound like city girls 😂 I really am lovin your channel Tipper, and the Presley girls channel too!
I wish you had showed the black walnuts actually being cracked. I think those who've never cracked them probably think it's just like cracking English walnuts or pecans. So much harder.
I'd also love to see a hot roll recipe. My WV grandma made a pan of yeast rolls with several eggs. The color of some eggs showed up in rolls. I think she kneaded them and rolled into connecting balls in a greased or buttered pan. They didn't take two different rising times. The texture was not real smooth. No one in the family has her recipe. Anyone have an idea for her wonderful recipe?
I've never heard of a candy roasters. I've a question Do you make something my mom and grandma called Fried Bread? We had it with fried eggs or id it it like a pancake with butter and syrup It was just like a pancake only wasn't sweet and had no sugar or vanilla in it. If you do I wished you'd show me how to make it.i wished I'd paid attention closer when they made it. Thank you 😊
This sowtrueseed.com/collections/squash/products/winter-squash-pink-jumbo-banana is very similar to candy roasters. If you don't find any seeds you might try it!
I know the intent of your channel is to maintain the old ways so take my comment with a grain of salt. I’m a cookie baker, and have adapted many recipes. If you substitute butter for the shortening the cookies will spread less. I also think Tipper’s might spread a bit more than with can pumpkin, because her candy roaster squash seems very ‘liquidy’ in comparison to can pumpkin. Also with the different liquid content the time for baking could really vary, so please watch them.

Especially for recipes associated with fall I include cloves, nutmeg in addition to the other spices.

What a wealth of information. The cookies look delicious. Would you mind sharing the duvet brothers you talked about? I am learning so much from your videos.
Dana-It's the Louvin Brothers. You can find all kinds of their music on TH-cam here's one link: th-cam.com/video/UsrpYpRqWPM/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching!!
Wondering if this is what my grandpa raised. They were fairly good sized and oblong. Have no idea what my grandma did with them as don’t remember eating anything pumpkin like at her house. Think I will try those cookies. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing. Those cookies look delicious. ❤🌵
Yes! I’m interested in all of the recipes 😊👍
Awesome
You mentioned favorite Appalachian recipes. There is nothing more Appalachian than fried apple pies. Mine have always flopped. I used to use a recipe for pie, and could use Candy Roaster, pumpkin or sweet potato which I kept frozen packages of all.
Shirley-mine have never been good either! I make the dough and add the filling and then I bake them in the oven 😀 I need a master pie fryer to show me how they do theirs!
Here's one for you. Cinnamon pie. Perhaps you may know how to make it. My grandmother was from Polk County Tennessee and she would make this wonderful pie. I've not known of anyone who could make one like it. I'm guessing it was one of those recipes that you just throw together when you wanted something sweet and that's all you had in the cupboard. It was kinda like a custard - it had egg and plain flour in it.
Very interesting info. And cookies sound delicious!
These sound good to try. Thank you. ☺
I have made pies with banana squash (what we call them here in MO) and I think it tastes better than pumpkin too!! I will have to tell my relatives another name is candy roasters. Such a cute way to call them.
Those cookies look delicious!
Hi, I wanted to try and make this recipe but to my surprise you can't buy Candy roaster squash in a can. In this era of time when you can get most anything I was just surprised. I will have to look and see if my region can grow it, we can grow pumpkins so with any luck I can grow it. I had never heard of black walnuts before and I was able to buy those to try the potato cake with them, which I plan to make next week. Thanks so much, you always have such interesting videos.
Tipper, we don't have canned pumpkin over here,,, I sure will share this , with Woolyworm, he loves to cook,:)
Yummy.gotta try these.
"Make some 'Ginger Snaps' cookies, please yum, yum???"🙀😱🙊🤤😋🤞👌👍✌️💯🙏🙏🙏🙋🏾♀️🙋🤗

Yummy yummy
They look really good 👍🏻.
My candy roasters did not do well this past year. Going to try again next year.
I live in Philadelphia PA and have never seen or heard of a candy roaster squash. They sure sound delicious! I wonder if they can grow in our climate. I read that they are found only in north Georgia, West North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee. I am going to talk to some local farmers to find out if they grow around here.
Never heard of this squash . I hear you mention the acorn but don't know what the first part is . I would like to look them up .Thank you !
The cookies look Larpin (delicious) as my mommy would say. I can’t stop looking at your beautiful countertops. Are they wood? They are the prettiest things I’ve seen. Can you show a picture of them or describe what they are?
Jackie-they are made from cabinet grade oak plywood. Matt made them and then we stained them. Thanks for watching!!
Ikr!!! I love her kitchen, especially the counter tops! Im so glad she told us what they were because ive been wondering for months now 🤣
This year we planted candy roaster squash in our garden and boy, we got some great looking squashes! I harvested three in early September. As I was cutting into the squash it was very wet and SLIMY, which I thought was weird. Did I harvest too early? I thought they were ready for harvest as our neighbors from Central America wanted to buy them all Thanks - love your channel!
I'm not sure. I usually don't use mine for at least a few months after they ripen so maybe yours was just really fresh and hadn't had time to dry out some 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia Ah, the curing process....that's what I forgot. If I lay them back in the garden on a bed of straw do you think they will dry out?
@@maggieferguson21 How long have you had them inside? I lay mine on my covered porch for a couple of weeks up to a month after harvesting. You might be able to let them cure inside your house. Just keep them out of direct sunlight. If you do an internet search you'll likely find more info about curing them 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia I've had them indoors for about 5 days, but will take them down the basement for curing. Thank you so much for caring about me and my squashes. BLessings!
@@maggieferguson21 You are welcome! They will likely be fine upstairs. My stay in my kitchen until we eat them 😀
Crandyroaster for pie here in Asheville NC
Do you ever make pickled beans and corn? Y mother used to and I love it. I can't find anyone who does it now. Also mom used to make hominy. She was raised in Swain County, N.C.
Papaw Tony makes the best pickled beans. 😀 You can see how he does it here: blindpigandtheacorn.com/pickled-beans-and-corn-the-old-time-way/
They look amazing. Thanks for sharing your stories. Do you please have a recipe for making a pie with candy roasters? Many thanks!
Candy Roaster is great in pumpkin pies-here's Granny's recipe: blindpigandtheacorn.com/grannys-pumpkin-pie-is-the-best/
@@CelebratingAppalachia Brilliant! Thanks so much!
I've never had one of these cookies but they look SOOOOO GOOOOOOD. I wish Dunkin Donuts sold'em. ;-)
Tipper I still cringe when I hear myself on a recording, I sound so hickish most people just laugh. I remember once when I visited an old army buddy way up north (near Chicago) people just wanted to sit down and just listen to my thick southern drawl. In my yonder years I’m proud of the way I sound! Compared to me y’all sound like city girls 😂 I really am lovin your channel Tipper, and the Presley girls channel too!
😀 Thank you!
I wish you had showed the black walnuts actually being cracked. I think those who've never cracked them probably think it's just like cracking English walnuts or pecans. So much harder.
Nothing like fresh eggs!
Enjoyed the video, cookies look delicious! I’m not seeing a link to your recipe, though! I’ll go to your blog & search for it..🤗🤗
Oops! I forgot to add the link. I went back and added it. Thank you for watching-I hope you like the cookies!
I have enjoyed your videos on food and plan to try some of them.
Yum! How are the candy roaster squash with squash bugs and squash vine borer?
We don't usually have an issue-but we don't in general so I'm not sure 😀
Never heard of this squash so I looked it up and then ordered some seeds from rareseeds. 😊
When do you plant? Spring? I'm in zone 9.
Yes in spring after danger of frost is gone 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you!
Would love to trade some heirloom field pea seeds for some candy roasters. Wanting to grow only heirloom seeds in my garden.
I have some seeds I’d you’d like some. I grew them for the first time this year
I'd also love to see a hot roll recipe. My WV grandma made a pan of yeast rolls with several eggs. The color of some eggs showed up in rolls. I think she kneaded them and rolled into connecting balls in a greased or buttered pan. They didn't take two different rising times. The texture was not real smooth. No one in the family has her recipe. Anyone have an idea for her wonderful recipe?
I've never heard of a candy roasters.
I've a question Do you make something my mom and grandma called Fried Bread? We had it with fried eggs or id it it like a pancake with butter and syrup It was just like a pancake only wasn't sweet and had no sugar or vanilla in it.
If you do I wished you'd show me how to make it.i wished I'd paid attention closer when they made it.
Thank you 😊
I'm sorry I don't, but hopefully someone who has the recipe will chime in with it 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you
Is black walnut the same as walnuts? Or are they 2 diff types of walnuts?
Black Walnuts are different than English Walnuts, they have a much stronger distinct taste 🙂
Wonder if I can find candy roasters in northern Michigan where I live???
I'm not sure but I hope you can 😀
Question; Do you have recipes for rhubarb?
I don't, I've never grown it 😀
Its planting time and I can't get these seeds anywhere. Was so excited to try them if anyone knows where to order from I would so appreciate the help.
This sowtrueseed.com/collections/squash/products/winter-squash-pink-jumbo-banana is very similar to candy roasters. If you don't find any seeds you might try it!
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you,i found some on ebay,but if that falls thru i will try the banana squash.
Well got my seeds they were shipped from Hungary by way of Budapest...I know funny right,we are still laughing.
I know the intent of your channel is to maintain the old ways so take my comment with a grain of salt. I’m a cookie baker, and have adapted many recipes. If you substitute butter for the shortening the cookies will spread less. I also think Tipper’s might spread a bit more than with can pumpkin, because her candy roaster squash seems very ‘liquidy’ in comparison to can pumpkin. Also with the different liquid content the time for baking could really vary, so please watch them.
The only problem with this video is, I can’t taste them!
😜
All of them?!!???
What is the banging noise in the background... target practice?
Yes 😀 Thank you for watching!
