So glad you enjoyed it. I have more of it. The farm stand is closed for the season, but I still sell honey, jam and eggs. You can send a message with what you want and when you want to pick it up. During the off-season we have pick up on the front porch of the farmhouse.
Oh woohoo, a new recipe to try... I can't use pectin, so I'll most likely use chia seeds or arrowroot powder and Allulose or Pyure sweetener... Thanks, Brenda, for sharing. Blessings ❤
Do you have any videos that tell how you take care of your apple trees throughout the year? That would be so helpful! My husband and I have loved following your journey on your farm! You both are such an inspiration to us! Thank you for starting a RUclips channel and for continuing to share your life with us!
I need some apple trees now! I’m wanting to get into bees. Do you have a video on your must have items and what you’ve learned? I’m not sure where to begin!
We haven't done a video that actually gives instruction on bee-keeping. This is our 4th year and we've still been learning. We may try to do one next spring. We started with two hives and are now up to 8, so we are getting plenty of experience. Thanks for watching!
I'll absolutely give it a go and hopefully using my own apples. My trees are small but have many blossoms on them this year.🍎🌸🍏 I have a variety that tastes like a grannysmith but the flesh is red, it's called a redlove apple.🍎🍎🍎
@16:40 I have found that the new jar grabber doesn't work on old fashion jars or small jars. When lifting quarts after processing, the jar lifter pulls on the bands which pull on the lids and causes the lid to rise off the jar. This happens because old jars have that extra big lip on the top of the jar. At first, I couldn't figure out why it was happening, then after it spewed hot corn juice everywhere did I realize it was lifting the band and lid off the jar. I am not sure if I am describing it right, but it doesn't work. Also, it was only happening on old jars. They usually all sealed, but marked them for first use since I couldn't trust bit of food, oils, etc., didn't get under the seal. I gave new lifter away, no more in my house. I have two like the Ball red style you have and love them, never failed me for any kind or size of jar (I use it for 1/2 gallons with grape juice - I know you are not supposed to use them but my Grandmother, Aunts, and Mother-In-Law did for many many years).
I did notice that a few times. I grab it, but also support it on the bottom with a pot holder so I don't have to squeeze too tight. So far I haven't had any lids come off. Thanks for the tip....I'll be extra careful.
Sounds delicious! I pruned the only apple tree we have last fall so it was a small harvest this year. I share with family so I made juice and cut into halves to freeze for baked apples which we love! I saved the skins and cores to make more juice and have a few left that won't keep so I might try this jam! Thanks for sharing😊
I have the app called picture this and it says paradise apple tree which is a commonly planted apple tree in pa originated in paradise pa. Love your videos!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 I have one on my farm that I thought was a crab apple tree as the fruit was tiny… but my picture this app identified it as a paradise apple tree. The apples are tart.
Thanks for the kind words. I've never tried apple scrap jelly. I usually either give it to the chickens or make vinegar. I may have to give that a try sometime.
Het lijkt me heerlijk, we kennen dit niet echt in Nederland. Ik heb een appelboom met heerlijke appels en ik ga er volgend jaar zeker apple pie jam van maken!
I was watching your video while eating my fresh apple pie. I had pulled a quart out of the pantry that I had canned last year. And I made a pie with it yesterday! Just the best! I will have to try making the jam. I haven't had a lot of luck with jellies and jams. I can't seem to get the pectin right.:( You did good:)
Thanks! You will enjoy the jam. I think the frozen plate test is valuable. Also, if the jam doesn't set for some reason, you can re-process it with more pectin. (I've had to do that twice.)
Definitely going to make this! But I am so curious about what you are using with your water bath canner? Is that an induction burner? I am looking for an alternative other than my stove for canning. Could you tell me more? Just recently got a new stove also Love your channel.
It is definitely a yummy jam. As for the what I used with the canner, it's a portable induction unit. I have two of them so that I can have 2 canners going at the same time. I started using them and fell in love with induction and just got an induction cooktop. I had gas for years, but induction is so much faster and so much easier to control. We're not sponsored by anybody, but here's the one I use. I'm very please with it so far. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9YKPQC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Apple looks like a cortland. We have a couple of these and they make awesome apple butter (mix Rome, Cortland, McIntosh, and whatever else left on the stems like Arkansas Black (daughters favorite) and Rome (they last the longest and I love them, well, pink lady is my favorite, but then they don't last long). McIntosh would be more red/more pronounced variation in color. Rome would be much larger apple and mostly solid bright red/green kind of like an Empire. Hope this helps.
@@ChrisCalmtheCrazy I think you may have solved the apple mystery. It looks like a Honey Crisp but it is not sweet. The Cortland has the streaks on many and more red on others. It also has the tartness described by Cortland. It also does not store well, also like a Cortland. Good taste with some tartness. It is very good in pies and applesauce. Thanks for the tip!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 Also, worms and birds LOVE cortlands! We don't usually get very many whole pretty ones from those trees, but is wonderful for cider, apple butter, and canning. Also, to some extent, it is our sacrificial tree so they stay off the other table apples.
Could you make a video about your new stove please? Brand, how it works, where you bought it ect. And how you like it for canning. My husband had said he wanted an induction stove, but I had thought that gas stoves were the best for pressure canning. I just bought a Presto caner (still too intimidated to even get it out of the box) Baby steps. I'll get there. I still need to conquer my Insta Pot.
I will do a video about the stove after I've used it for a while. So far I love it, but haven't pressure canned with it yet. I had the All-American pressure canner, which isn't compatable with induction. I just purchased a Presto that is induction compatable. I'll definitely do a video when I do pressure canning using the induction cooktop. Pressure canning isn't scary as long as you follow the directions. Any kind of heat that you can control would work for pressure canning, but only certain materials work with induction. This is the best tutorial I've seen on Pressure canning: ruclips.net/video/jU0CzxBnKoY/видео.html
@@suevaillant6407 I tried organic sprays the first year with unsatisfactory results. Yes, I use alternating use of both organic and chemical sprays....sorry to admit. Don
Well, it sure looks like a honey crisp apple but the taste is very different. I love the sweetness of the Honey Crisp (Don). Brenda like the tart apples so we are on different ends of the spectrum. Our apple is tart and not sweet. Thanks for the tip Chris.
I actually wondered that, but since the recipe called for it, I decided to use it. Maybe next time I'll experiment without it and if it doesn't set it will be yummy, apple syrup.
That does sound good. Our pear trees didn't do well this year, but if we get a good harvest next year, I'll definitely try that. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@waardenburgfamilyfarm4764 my mom would use red hot candies so it would turn a deep pink but you can do it with cinnamon sticks only; or add food coloring or beet juice if you want pink pears. They look so pretty on the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table. Highly recommend.
My experience is that lemons aren't fresh in October in the North (trees don't grow in zone 6 unless you have a heated greenhouse with 12 foot ceilings) and usually not from a grocery store. Also, bottled juice is more consistent for acid/sweetness ratios than fresh, and limited pulp.
Oh yeah. Though, wouldn’t it be better if squeezed from lemons bought from a store, was really my question? My preference only to use from an original fresh source than manufactured and bottled in plastic. Thanks for the recipe I can’t wait to try it!
For apple peelers, we have about four different kinds including ones like you have and two of the old fashion ones like this one on Etsy ... Antique Scott Sinclair Peach apple Peeler rotary knife Parer Tool Hand Crank. The boys like it maybe cause it looks like machinery with gears and such 🤣. We peel apples the same way and I personally use a small sharp paring knife like most of the ladies around the table (we do this in bulk with 12 or more around the farm table). It is a bit slower than the peeler you have, but I cannot usually get those things to work well enough for apples. Coordination issues, I guess. We also use the corer peeler like you have, it is the fastest way I have found.
If you look below the video there is a description of the video. If you click on 'more' it will show you the full description which includes the recipe. Enjoy!
It is possible but our apples have a little more red than the photos that I see of the Roxbury Russet. I have not heard of this variety so it was interesting to read about the origin. Thanks for the apple insights!
Yes, this one is one that you would definitely enjoy smelling. I'll check to see if there is someone who could help to identiry the tree. Thanks for the tip.
Wow, the Northern Spy is a beautiful apple! I would say that they are similar but ours is not quite as green and it may be more tart than the Northern Spy. There are so many varieties of apple that I am not familier with. At this point the Cortland seems to have the closest match and it is a common apple in our region. Thank you for the clue on the apple mystery!
