Hey Becky. Quick pro tip for spoons and tasting... You only need two. Dip one into the product and drizzle/drop the food into the spoon that will go into your mouth. Learned that working in a professional kitchen and it beats using all the spoons in your drawer every time you cook! Love your channel. Keep on growing and cooking and sharing in your effervescent, authentic way!
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
That’s very smart, great tip
Great tip, I do that too or drip off the spatula. Do you do that at home though? I’m not so particular when I’m tasting food that’s cooking cause it’s already boiling.
Now that’s a great tip! Thanks!
I’m using that tip! Thanks!
I just have a word of caution about feeding large numbers of apples to your chickens. About five years ago, I fed all my bright red crabapples to my flock, thinking I was doing them such a favour with all the vitamins. After chicken number five died, I started getting worried and sent dead chicken #6 to the provincial lab for testing. The test results came back - cyanide crystals in the kidneys, caused by the apple seeds turning to cyanide in the digestive system. Symptoms were lethargic chickens, decreased appetite and activity and then death. I still give my chickens apples, but I cut the core out to avoid the seeds. FYI
Thank you! Great information! Be blessed. ☺
Wow! I had no idea that could happen. I'm hoping to get Chickens next year. Thank you
Same happens with dogs. They love apples but can't eat the seeds.
Dear God 😨
Holy smokes I had no idea! I give the fallen apples to my chickens all the time! Thanks for sharing! Thank you
They aren’t wasted as long as your chickens can enjoy them.
When my mom is steaming tamales, she puts a couple of coins on the bottom of the pan. This is in case she accidentally allows all the water to evaporate, you’ll hear the coins start hopping around the bottom of the pot!
Becky your channel is the only one I have EVER put the bell on for. I am so proud of you and the wonderful work you're doing with your channel. Way to go!!!
Thanks so much 😊
What bell?
@@zukosmom3780 there is a little bell icon next to the subscribe button. If you click it, RUclips will send alerts when the channel posts new content.
Me too!! I love new video days!! My best friend and I were watching your older videos today while doing some canning today!
@@zukosmom3780 The bell tells you each time a new video is posted by the creator it is located next to the subscribe button.
I saw you use that juicer a few videos ago and told my husband about it. Well he surprised me with it and I ended up throwing a bunch of Concord grapes in and made my own juice. Oh my gosh is it good!
This. Sounds. Lovely.
My husband watched that video and he now wants one. 🥰
Just found out a "ChiveHack"
In an earlier video you talked about that chives was difficult to dry.
I just found out why!
The hack is to cut them in small pieces and then put them in to the freezer in a freezerbag.
After they have been frozen the cellular structure changes and now you can pour them on the freezer trays and then mix them to powder when they are really dry and a bit warm.
They dries really quickly after they have been frozen and the colour is really good looking online a bit pale.
They taste even more amazing and makes your Ranch powder taste amazing.
Have a sunny weekend!/Mia
I dry my chives straight from the garden, chop into small pieces. Then straight into the oven or dehydrator
Man oh man….the tips on this video from everyone is fantastic! Thank you for sharing that info! This video deserves a save with all the tips!!
Can we dehydrate scallions the same way and turn to powder?
@@pamelaleitman9200 yes. You can dehydrate so many things. I just did the scapes off my garlic to make powder
I am not the best with commenting, I never know what to say.
One of your videos popped up in my suggested a few weeks back now and I have been hooked ever since. I love your content, everything you do is so educational and down to earth and real. I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with next. You're such an inspiration!!
Can't wait! Also: The kindness and positivity here in the Acre Homestead community just brightened my day 😊😊
Thank you so much!
The outer shell of the nutmeg is called mace, and is also used as a spice
Mace is fabulous in homemade gingerbread spice mix.
I never knew that - thanks for the info
@@juliaspear9696 good to know. I just bought some and can’t decide what to make with it 😂😂
No.. There is a lace like red covering the black shell. That is mace.
@@vandanakrishnan5078 yes, that is what I’m talking about
So many people have already said it, but your channel and this community is so positive and encouraging. This is my favorite channel right now. Becky, you’ve motivated me to be more creative and to be a doer, especially in the kitchen! My family deserves the best side of me, and you’ve inspired me to deliver my best at home. I’ve never been a baker, but I went on a bender and in the the span of two weeks, I made two loaves of homemade bread, mini pumpkin pie, apple pie, chicken pot pie, banana bread, preserved some onions, peppers and kale, and more. Your energy and attitude are contagious!
It’s so hard to sit and wait 2 hours for this video to be available! So blessed you make videos that brighten our day, and teach us so much!
You are so sweet :)
It was great to meet your sister today. You have such a wonderful family that loves to work together with you. I have to say that when you were calling your chickens my dog Charley was running all over trying to find them..haha
Too cute!! ❤️
The shell of the nutmeg is called Mace and it's also a spice 😍 can be used for all kinds of baking and cooking. It has an almost sweeter smell to it.
Also, I about died at "husband in law " 😂😂 you are so adorable 💜
🇯🇲 here, that travels offer. FYI: you are allowed to carry dried nutmeg because there are no longer an agricultural risk- so custom allows it.
so fun hearing you talking about it. And yes, we like whole nutmeg. Sounds like such a fun trip.
Totally fine to bring back spices. It's live plants / cut flowers they question to prevent invasive species and bugs. I have family in the Caribbean and we have nutmeg trees. Fun fact. The red webbing on the outside of the nutmeg is dried and is known as mace.
I've been processing apples myself and I have learned from past experience that I sort the apples and the pristine ones go into my second fridge and can last a little bit and I have to process sooner rather than later the ones that have bug bites or blemishes. Don't beat yourself up about it. I think we have ALL had to learn that lesson. I am just in awe how much you do get done, so kudos to you! You're doing great :D
Your chickens talk to you and follow you around like my cat does. So cute!
Your channel is my absolute favorite and is so inspiring to me! As a full time teacher you motivate me so much! I’m always telling myself “if Becky can do this on her day off/after work… so can I!”
We used to make apple sauce with skins on and often with cores in but seeds removed - in the big turkey roaster using the oven and a Foley food mill.. When apples ripened, we would quarter or 1/6th them, remove the seeds, cut off any bruised or bad spots, decide about the cores, indiscriminately toss them in a plastic bag (usually a department store sized), then toss in the freezer for "later". Depending upon what else was going on, some would be sliced, have the lemon juice and seasoning added as called for in a pie recipie, then placed in a labeled bag for use in a pie or other dish during the winter. In terms of actually making apple sauce, most often later occurred when the freezer space was needed amd we typically cooked down two turkey roasters full over the course of one or two days before canning or freezing. If canning, as soon as the hot batch 2as milled, the previous roasters worth was added, mixed, moderate,y spiced, and the pot was brought back up to plopping hot. Final,space, sugsr added depending upon who was taste testing (less when freezing than canning), and all was added to hot jars with hot lids. If making apple butter, the cores were left in, more spices were added, more sugar was added, some lemon juice was added, amd the mixture was reduced with stirring in the stove before being jarred up. We generally had an old school lower sugar looser butter than some began to have; especially looser than those who used pectin.
I love watching and learning from you, Becky. I’m going to recommend your channel to my 9 year old granddaughter who loves to make her own cooking videos (only for family and friends for now). 🧡
You get so much done and have so much energy. I've made a bunch of the freezer meals you've posted and can I say...Yum! My youngest son doesn't care for pumpkin but loved the sausage and pumpkin pasta bake. Most of what we've tried will be kept in the rotation. I follow Jennifer at A Country Life as well and just bought her cookbook. You've bot inspired me to expand even more. Thank you!
I love all your posts, but I really like the controlled chaos like today. Then, suddenly, it all comes together and you have all this work done! Great video!
Can't wait. I just got placed part time at work(I'm happy) and now have time to watch this video!!! So excited !!
You don’t like apple pie!?! 😱😱😱
Tip:You can use a little white vinegar in pastry instead of vodka - same effect!
From a long time gardener/farming family, no matter how organized I try to be, and how many years I've been doing it, any time I work with large quantities of produce or have massive harvests of a few things at one time, I will always lose some due to time. It happens. I always feel guilty but it happens to the most experienced of us so try not to feel bad! You are doing amazing! We have the best of intentions but sometimes life just gets in the way...and sometimes our gardens get in the way of our own gardens! There is never enough time in a day!
You can use lime juice in place of lemon juice too for canning. I love the lime flavor in all salsas.
I'm working through your earlier uploads. It's so heartwarming to see how you've progressed. You truly were an inspiration, and with your increased confidence, even more so now.
My husband and kids bought me a pear, apple, fig, and weeping willow tree for my birthday this passed weekend and put them in the ground. I know they wont bear fruit for a few years, but I am so excited to add them to my questionable orange and lemon tree! I can hardly wait for my first harvest and preservation attempt!
@rachel rodriguez what a wonderful gift! That would be my dream too. Weeping willows are the most beautiful of trees.
Weeping Willows are my favorite trees, sounds like a great gift!
I know they are already planted and you did your research on where to best place them, but if someone doesn't know...Willows have a very invasive root system, so best not to plant near underground utilities, sewer pipes, etc. Great on creek banks or somewhere you are experiencing erosion. Happy birthday 🎂
@@carolynmills513 thank you! Our home sits on 3 lots, so yes both the fig and willow trees were planted in the 2 farthest corners of our property away from our home.
Rachel, don't know anything about figs, they don't grow in Indiana. Lol your family gave you awesome gifts. I have a curly willow and planted it too close to power lines. The continued pruning is killing it. Darn
Catching up on videos, I’ve been so busy canning myself!! My poor pressure canner is tired even 😂
Be easy on yourself Becky!! On top of working outside the home, you have MORE than a full time job running your homestead!! You ARE AMAZING!! You inspire all of us to keep going!! Keep pushing!!
Much love from your neighbor in Oregon ❤️💕🌲🌲
~Trina~ I just saw Gizmo!!! Hahahaha he’s so cute 💕❤️
When you said, "It's noon now," I was blown away. So much accomplished!
Becky I watch you often you are very interesting I have had that juicer for thirty years. I have not used it for apples but grapes every year. The juice of Concord grapes makes the best jelly ever and we also drink it either watered down or with ginger ale you can make wine too. Thanks for inviting us into your kitchen . I hope you succeed in getting more people into their own kitchens.
We’ve also had a juicer for years, I love it for grape juice! We’ve been making apple-grape juice with our scrap apples, love the idea of adding ginger ale when we drink it
Love you and your Sister working together! I have 1 sister we went separate paths havent spoken to her in 25 years these videos show me Families that love each other so great!
The outer shell of nutmeg is actually another spice called "mace". It is a pepper/hot flavor. Try it in chili!
I used to smash my garlic to peel it as well, but a trick that I learned for peeling mass quantities of garlic is to put the cloves into a stainless steel bowl, use another stainless steel bowl flipped upside down (lip edge to lip edge) and shake like crazy. The peel comes off the garlic. I just pick out the cloves, toss the garlic shells left behind and do the next batch. I tried it with 2 pots and it works just as well. A pot with the lid did not work for some reason... so stainless steel to stainless steel is the key!
This is great!
Great idea, I hate getting the garlic smell on my hands, it lasts for days. This sounds like it’d help with that. I think Becky smashes them on purpose to release the health properties of the garlic….I can’t remember which video she explained it in :)
@@IglooGirl1 Yes, I smash them afterwards if necessary. I just hate getting the peels stuck on my fingers so I do this step first 😊
I love you and your channel! I bought a pressure canner & steam juicer. I'm excited to try them. Hubby won't be thrilled lol, but after I make him some cider, he'll chill out. 😉 I'm old, 54, and I can remember canning and picking vegetables from my grandma's garden, eating all the raw peas I could. I still do that. Watching your channel reminds me of that time with her. Also, it's renewed my desire for preserving more of our food. I'm going to have to do it via the supermarket for now. But, I'll have my garden again next year.
Also, you'll have to tell me where you got those gorgeous peaches. I actually live not far from you. I'm on the long beach peninsula. It's gorgeous here. 💜💜💜💜 Anyway, thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks!!!!
OMG..did you see the look on the doggies face. Becky's calling him over and he has this look of like...wait a min...they got apples!!! Where's my treat!!! He so stood there waiting for his treat!! Absolutely adorable!!!
Hi Becky! I have been beng watching you vlogs since I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. You do such a great job at making me feel like I am right there with you. A little tip on the steamer. I put 3 marbles in the bottom with my water. When I hear them moving around. I know the water is getting to low an it is time to add more water. Keep up the good work!!
I just found your channel recommended from a couple others I watch. I feel such a kindred spirit with you! I grew up in the city but I've lived in the country since I moved from my parents house. I've had a garden for the past 3 years but this was the first year I was able to put up any amount to write home about! I love growing and learning, thank you for your content!
🔮 I see binge-watching in your immediate future! 😂
You can use the tomatillo skins as a tea! Just rinse them and steep them for a few minutes. Great if you have a cold or cough.
Interesting! I had no idea!
That was great that your sister got to help, with all the mistakes we make it's just a learning curve! Your videos are awsome!
You are such an inspiration to me! I don't have enough space to have a garden but I've asked my neighbour if I could use some of the ground that he doesn't use for my vegetable garden and he said yes so I'm going to have some fresh vegetables next year 😊 just for the record, I'm not a native English speaker so forgive me the mistakes I make.
You are amazing girl. I'm always shocked how much you get done in a few hours. WOW
Becky, you work you butt off. I'm glad you gave yourself grace on the apples. One human can only do so much. Even when you "waste" something, it doesn't go to waste.
Love your content.
It's the French Bulldog wandering around the kitchen with flour all over him for me. Adorable!
LDA and a gardener from MN here!!
I love everything about what you put on here!!!
Thank you!!
Hi Becky. I just wanted to tell you that I love your channel although I live in a very small apartment in the middle of a city. Regarding nutmeg, its exterior layer is called “macis” (at least here in Spain is called that way) and it is a very fine spice on its own. It is sold separately at a very high price here. XOXO
Me parto! Otra española de ciudad fantaseando con una vida en el campo por aquí?! Esta no me la esperaba 🙈 me encanta jajajaja
Hi Becky! Just started watching a little late, but catching up. Before I forget, I'm really glad you mentioned Jennifer @ A Country Life. I really like her channel & was subscribed a while back, but until today, hadn't realized I had been unaubscribed! That's been happening a lot for the last several months somehow. I've been really short on time lately, so haven't been able to go looking for some of m "missing" channels. So I really appreciate it when the you tube channels I do get to watch mention some of their favorites. Glad to see your sister & neice with you today!
Gonna go back to watching... looks like another great one! Have a great weekend! ❤
Is that the channel where they are cranberry farmers? It sounds familiar…I think I was unsubscribed from them!
@@lunayahwitch Yes it is. Really a nice channel. I've had several channels disappear on me recently. They don't seem to always go off my subscription list at the bottom of the page which seems weird to me, but I always go check out any channels that are suggested in a video from my subscribed channels & have found great channels I haven't watched before but I've also found channels like A COUNTRY LIFE and resubscribed. When I resubscribe, I try to mention having been UNsubscribed in case they've noticed a change in their numbers & weren't sure why. Have a great weekend!
I am just here imagining the amazing smell of apples baking that you are creating in your home.. Enjoy! So inspiring to cook and preserve seasonally.
Hi! I love watching your channel. Very informative and entertaining. Love your family sharing the screen with you.
Becky I always learn new ideas here. Thank you. I’m here today for Apple pie.
Love how your family works together
You are a blessing to watch, your sisters are a great help. Teamwork makes the DreamWorks. Pat fromOregon.
It is so cute how your chickens all ran to you. They were all happy to see you like "yay, it's mom!"
Hi Becky! I just want to tell you how impressed I am of your knowledge and energy!! I found your channel when I wanted to learn more about Azure Standard. I had placed my first order and was eager to learn more about the company and that’s how I found you! Since then I have binged a lot of your episodes. You are a joy to watch and I wanted to let you know that a grandma in Colorado loves your channel!
This is so cute they are listening and following you.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that calls my chickens like that. I love your vids! Thanks for sharing your homestead with us!
This year, our apples didn't have much juice so we ran the steamed pulp through a food strainer. It was so thick and luscious, we turned it into apple butter. It is delicious!!!
The chickens will love them!! And I LOVE that you show the bad as well as the good! Makes me feel better when I mess up too!
Love how your family always help you out.
Thank you for your content! You are such a bright light and helped me realize I just need to start! I always get super overwhelmed when trying to garden and preserve, but after watching your videos I am so pumped to keep going!
I seriously love your channel! Thank you for these random recipes and ideas
Hello, Becky, I have a tip/recipe(?) for the dried apple slices. While they are delicious on their own, they are even better this way: chop them into cubes of roughly 1*1cm, melt any kind of chocolate you like, pour over the cubes, mix, then put little spoonfuls of the stuff on parchment paper. Wait till solid, voila.
Oh good lesson for me as I wondered how you would process all your harvest while fresh. Don’t feel guilty, you said it, a learning curve. Gardening for preservation superwoman.
You are so blessed to have family so close. What a great team.
I love your channel! It’s my favourite & am slowly catching up with old episodes!
I’m always exhausted after watching your videos! You are amazing!❤️🍎
Yay love all your videos in the garden in the kitchen doing errands etc 💖😍💖
I made homemade applesauce for the squeezables for my granddaughter when she was smaller. Your apple trees are amazing.
Thank you so much for bringing us along for the ride!!
Glad I discovered this channel! Lots of good recipes and tips.
Thank you
You are truly blessed with family that comes to help you and you bless them with all the goodies they get to take home. Your niece was just precious and such a good girl while her mom worked getting them apples peeled. Becky, sometimes a harvest is just so much it’s hard to get it all processed before it started to go bad. It just happens, so don’t feel bad. At least you have chickens to feed them to, so really they didn’t go to waste. Your pies came out beautifully! Thank you for sharing!
These videos are my favorite!! I could spend all day in the kitchen with you 😊 I get so much inspiration from you Becky! 💞
You are so hard working and it’s lovely that your family help you, I am really enjoying your channel ❤️
Thank you I just started gardening and transforming. It so nice to have you doing and explaining how to do it. The best thing about your videos is that you are a down to earth person. And love that you are always so energetic and happy . Something that we all need.
Awesome job Becky. Thank you!
Wow, you’re both so efficient in the kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
Becky I have so loved watching your videos. I wish I had the energy you have. You have really inspired me to try to can more things.
So glad your sister came to help and that you blessed her with food to take home. You always amaze us with the amount of things you are able to accomplish.
Love watching you ,and you are blessed to have a loving , helpful family
I get so excited when you have new videos and I can bunge watch the older ones! The chickens following you was cute!
What busy people, good on you!
How perfect! I'm canning salsa Verde today... although now maybe I should wait till tomorrow in case you have some tips I haven't thought of. 🤫
I waited! I made rainbow tomato relish yesterday!
Love how you and your sister work along side each other. Also to share the fruits of your labour ❤️
So very glad you have so much energy. Love it. Praying you continue with your work and fill your pantry. Blessings.
Becky, I would LOVE to know how you keep inventory of what you have! How you keep track of what you use/give to family and friends. I’ve never found a good way to do this but it seems like you never run out of anything and always know what you have! 💚
Awesome!
Always enjoy your hard work
Loved watching this video. Very relaxing watching someone be busy while I try to unwind after work. Also apples, once picked do best refrigerated. Leaving them out ripens them quickly.
I swear these videos, Becky, are basically ASMR to me. The crunchy sounds of walking in the garden and the cooking noises are lovely ✨
I enjoy watching your harvest and then the process all the bounty. I had a small garden that didn’t do great, but friends have been giving me tomatoes and peppers. I have been cooking tomatoes, peppers and onions down for spaghetti sauce and salsa. Can’t wait to see what you do next. I also enjoyed your large freezer meals, it gave me some great recipe ideas to use. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Can’t wait! I am learning so much. I hope you make some apple syrup from your cider. These are the ingredients: Apple cider. It is sooo good.
Love it!! A bit early to catch this live stream from New Zealand but will definitely watch later, what a great team in the kitchen 🤗
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@AcreHomestead yes very much so! thanks Becky. I found your channel just yesterday and I'm glad I did. Very inspiring and fun!!
I enjoy watching you cook and can.☺️
I started watching the live but meetings got in the way, so glad I can watch it later! Your niece is Adorable!!!
About the spoons... Every taster gets an empty coffee cup (better mobility) and a spoon. Hold your taster spoon over your coffee cup (in case it drips) and use the stir spoon to drop a bit on your spoon, taste and put back in *your* coffee cup. One stir spoon per item and 1 taster spoon. Boom! Rinse your taster spoon if your recipes vary greatly... like super sweet to super spicy... so it won't cross-influence your taste buds. Don't confuse the coffee cups. 🤭 LOVE your videos. If I lived even remotely close, I'd come to help and get jars in exchange. Dallas is 29 hours driving so.. pass.😭🤩
Always love anything you do in that kitchen😀
Love your show, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I just love your videos! I process a lot from our home garden and you’ve inspired me to try new things! I made pizza sauce - 14 pints, and it’s a hit. Thank you for being such a bright spot in the day. ❤️
Love the channel and your positive attitude!
Your videos are so real, I love that ..because I make some of the same mistakes you show yourself making. Nice to know you can recover from them so gracefully, even when you are processing huge amounts of food.
