Where do you find all your strength to accomplish all your endless and wonderful projects ? Your creations are absolutely a reflection of your beauty . You always amaze and are so genuinely positive and dedicated and everything you do is so special. Stay well ,do not overdo and continue to be the wonderful positive couple you are. You are loved and admired by many .
It is so wonderful being able to watch a couple physically make a beautiful home for themselves and their family instead of getting up every morning drinking a fast cup of coffee getting in the car driving in the rat race to a job and then coming home driving through the rat race being exhausted to make a quick dinner and then fall him to bed! You are living the life that we all should be creating for ourselves instead of the one that we have allowed the world to create for us! I personally think that that is the one good thing that has come out of the RUclips experience is to allow people to create income and to be able to work at home and create a life with their families!
Oh Kylie when you started sewing with that beautiful music.. tears filled my eyes.. it brought back so many memories of my dear Mama (I’m 62!) that was so industrious in her home. Always preserving, sewing, painting & creating. This video brought back these memories. You are truly amazing! Your home will be and is, bathed in love, beauty & creativity. Wishing you all the health & happiness for the months ahead. ❤️
@@KylieFlavell Thankyou fir your reply. We live in Melbourne and will be in Tuscany for all of September. Hoping it will be cooler!! Cannot wait.. 6 years since we’ve been to our beloved Italy. I feel so at home there. 💕💕
I played this piece of music recently on viola in an local orchestra here in the US...Elgar’s Nimrod always brings sublime beauty to my ears and touches my heart...it is a perfect selection for this lovely.vignette ❤️ thank you!!!...
If you add meat or fish to your beautiful sauce you’ll have to get a pressure canner as the water bath canning method is only for high acid food like tomatoes, fruit, jams etc. Low acid food including vegetables like green beans, legumes, onions, all meats and proteins must be properly pressure canned according to what’s in the jars, size of the jars and your elevation above sea level to be safe. Keep in mind that babies under one year should not be eating home canned food of any kind as their little bodies can’t process even a minuscule amount of the botulism spores that may be present and that have no ill effect on older children and adults. Don’t let that frighten you off though! Canning with a pressure canner is easy and fun with the right canner for your stove type, good safe recipes found in updated canning books and following the manufacturer’s instructions for your model of pressure canner. ❤️
The image of the beautiful color of the tomatoes, in your stunning sink with the water running from the brass faucet ! Absolutely fabulous! Love this format with you sitting down talking and letting Guido pick up the heavy pots. You look sensational with your babybomp! From watching your vedios for so long and seeing you from your care free single day's to seeing you nesting is incredible for me.. Love the two of you and soon to be three. ❤
You’re building a beautiful life Kylie and Guido. Such a satisfying pop on the tomatoe preserves - my mouth is watering, delicious. And it’s wonderful to watch the skill of tradesmen- they truly are amazing to work in such extreme heat. The farm house will be so different this time next year with AC, a swimming pool and even more love 🕊💕
When I see women canning and sewing it reminds me of my mother who passed away less than 2 months ago. You are fabulous I wish I had your talents you are inspiring. This is from a 54 year old. Keep up the strength in these heatwaves.
I had a surgery yesterday with only a two days notice of it needing to be done. I was able to find a little time to make a pot of chicken and rice stew to have ready for me while I’m now recovering. Just like your tomato sauce, these are such nurturing things we can do in our self care to stay strong and healthy for ourselves and our families. As I rest now in my bed, your videos bring me such tranquility. You and your precious baby will appreciate your efforts in this “nesting’ time you are taking. Thank you for your art Kylie 💖
Hi Kylie.. I am using friends computer. .I am Cathy from ohio, usa..look into Ball canning book.. has Been my go to for 40 years besides Betty Crocker cook book... learned to can from my Hungarian grandma and my mother. ..you must can safely.. and as I saw someone say in your comments.. do not add meat to your sauce unless you pressure can..you can add that later to your sauce as you are making dinner.. or make in batches that you can freeze...meat canning is specific.. please be safe...congrats on soon new baby !! Get lots of rest in this heat ! God Bless your young family.
I love my Friday evenings with you, Kylie. Keeps me tethered to what's real and beautiful and simple. A much needed escape from what's promoted elsewhere. Thank you.
Adding my thoughts late but many tomatoes are now developed to be less acidic; for this reason, canning manuals recommend the lemon juice addiction now. Looks delicious! Julie 🌷 a 💯 Dutch girl in the USA 🇺🇸
Hi Kylie, Congratulations on canning for the first time. I just finished a batch of marinara sauce. I didn’t water bath mine but if you keep the tomatoes boiling and fill the jars while they are hot you can screw the lids on tightly and turn upside down on a towel on your table. You’ll want to immediately cover with an old comforter overnight. They should all seal quite nicely. I noticed you were cooking your tomatoes in an aluminum pot, (at least it looks like aluminum). That is a HUGE no-no, because the acid from the tomatoes causes aluminum to leach into the sauce. If you cook tomatoes cook with stainless steel pots. I learned how to can the authentic tomato sauce watching an Italian grandma on RUclips. I can’t remember her name, but she has great tips. You have such a lovely home! I LOVE your root cellar! You seemed tired in this video. I know it’s hard, but don’t forget to rest. Thanks for always sharing such beautiful videos with us!
Kylie, my 85 year old mother canned 38 quarts of tomatoes last summer to have for soups throughout the winter. She uses the same method and has for years. It’s so wonderful to be able to use your own home preserved food when you cook! Take care! You look fantastic!
You guys are building a literal masterpiece - that stone sink looks like it has been there for centuries - what an incredible home, life and lifestyle you are building. Kudos to both of you - God bless you.
Kylie, I watched your video for a second time today as a mid-week treat. You are creating the most romantic spaces for your home - the pure Italian dining, sitting room and then the masterpiece stone table, trucked in before your wedding and now forever a centrepiece anchored in family life. Your videos always bring joy, and right across the world it would seem x Vale to two beautiful pitch-perfect voices Judith Durham, watch The Seekers - I'll never find another you (HQ Stereo 1964/1968) - a live recording at Abbey Road and Olivia Newton-John. Rest in Peace.
If you watch the Positano Diaries, Nicki ( + brother in law) bottles masses of tomatoes every year. She has a metal funnel that sits in the top of the jar and stops anything soiling it before putting the lid. Well worth a watch. They have a huge drum that they fill with boiling water to sterilise them after filling. x
I'm always amazed at how multi talented and diligent you are Kylie so much admire you. God Bless you, Guido and you're little baby. Thank you for the upload so much enjoyed it. Love that cellar ! ♥️♥️
Everything will be fine for both of you by the time the baby arrives. You were doing fine with the canning. It was perfectly done. Having a child is the most beautiful thing in the world. When I held my first child in my arms, I was unprepared for the overwhelming emotion of love and wonder that took over and from that moment, I enjoyed every moment I had with my child and husband. A new and extraordinary experience that is unique for each person involved.😘
Kylie, I love the sink curtain's colors and pattern. So lovely. Little baby will have a lovely home to grow up in and healthy food to dine upon. My wish this last week as Americans were dreaming about what to do with their mega millions' winnings, I dreamt of living in Tuscany not far from Firenze yet out in the countryside like you and Guido. Italy was magical when I last visited and remains a warm place in my heart. Until then, I will, I will continue to watch your beautiful videos.
Ahh such a great life you and Guido are carving out together! You both work hard to make your dreams come true together and everything is so beautiful, speaking of beautiful.. Kylie you look absolutely radiant!! So gorgeous! You will be, and already are, such an amazing mother and I can see Guido being such a great father too, this is one very lucky baby on the way! Love you all so much, and everything you do! I live vicariously through your wonderful Tuscan life! So extremely excited for all of you! The tomato sauce looks & sounds delicious too and as others have said.. the scene with all the tomatoes bathing in your lovely farm style sink, was very calming and pleasing and watching you do the canning and sewing the curtain for under the sink, it makes my domestic abilities want to be that good. Maybe someday when I can retire from my business. Wishing you all stay very healthy & happy, and looking forward to your next video. Much love! 🥰💕🙏🏼🫶🏻
It is gratifying that you honor historic craftsmanship and style. I watched a Canadian interior designer restore a Tuscan villa and cringed at her superiority complex and hell bent drive to achieve a modern style with a Tuscan view. You have graciously demonstrated loving humility while achieving a meaningful lifestyle. You are an inspiration.
You are a Goddess! Everything you do and touch takes on your light, and even the simplest things become more beautiful. Thank you for sharing your magic with us. ✨✨
Kylie, you have such patience and grace with the everything you do. Your sauce looks amazing and I'm delighted the pool, electrical and air conditioning work is coming along. I worry about how much you do and please be careful on those basement stairs. You bring so much joy to so many people with your talent. Thank you.
As usual, love your vlog Kylie! Sending you love...and I just wanted to say that after watching you for 2 and a half years, I believe you are a very BRAVE and HARD WORKING woman with a lovely, creative soul! ❤ May you and Guido have a happy life and may your home constructions be done well!
You’re going to love motherhood Kylie! You have a gift for savoring the moment, and while there is plenty of tiredness and such, it’s real-life magic. You will be a wonderful mama and I’ll be praying your last few weeks are peaceful and calm! ❤️
The Toile de Jouy fabric is just perfect for your kitchen. I enjoy canning tomato sauce, I also roast cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic and herbs in the oven. I store them in small container and freeze them for the winter time. It is delicious with pasta or with roasted chicken.
In our family we do no put lemon juice in the sugo and we don't boil the filled jars, but just insert the fresh hot sugo in the jars and then turn them on their lids until they are cold. Thus the whole content is disinfected and you have the vacuum effect. As soon as you add fish or meat to the sugo (e.g. ragù), in our family we rely on single portions that we put in the freezer, I would not dare to keep them even in the cellar. Magnificent cellar, by the way! ♡
Your filming is always glorious, I can smell those tomatoes in the sink, and the cooked sugo just looking at your footage, so much goodness! The blue toile de jouy is beautiful in the kitchen! If you do need a row of tiles there, that blue sample tile would be a lovely accent in the kitchen with all the warm earthy colors in there and that blue toile! Cooked ragu is best frozen not canned. A good sized freezer in the storage room is very handy to have, also for freezing baby food in the future, although I'd expect you'll be making fresh purées. With a large freezer in storage you don't need to plan for more than a fridge with a small icebox in your limited kitchen space. You look so healthy and radiant even in the heatwave with a bun in the oven, it's really remarkable! I have so many Italian tomato sauce stories, about love, loss, family and friends. In a way I think this tradition is central to the culture and is as much about preserving memories, sharing them and creating new ones as it is about not wasting the harvest. One of my friend's mother died some years ago, and her fathers way of dealing with his grief was growing a zillion tomatoes and cooking and canning sauce, to the extent she thought he'd gone crazy. They had an entire space like your cellar filled with sugo and passata and were giving jars and jars to everyone who'd take them, and it was just so moving how happy it made the old gentleman. Every single jar was a testament to the love of his late wife. 😭 I took as much as we could eat, because it was also the best sauce ever! The old man's youngest grandson, a teething baby in a high chair would sit next to grandad in only diapers with spaghetti and tomatosauce on the tray of his chair and chilled home made rustic sourdough bread dipped in olive oil to sooth the teething, and when he put any of these in his mouth with his little hands granddad cheered and boasted the boy was raised a proper Italian! Afterwards the old man would take the baby now covered in tomato sauce from head to toe and rinse him off in the garden sink. 😁 One thing's for sure, kids raised that way don't have any issues with eating or malnutrition! It's all about the love. ❤️ Too many stories to tell. My point is, you are making your own, and like these videos are a treasure for the future, your sugo is too, with a time stamp and everything! You have a very sound attitude about all the renos. It will all come together in time and fretting about it is pointless. Take care both of you! Baci! /Jo
Your Passata looks so delicious, watching you create this was a sensation. I could almost smell it, taste it, and feel the warmth and love that you put into it! Treat yourself to a jam/preserve funnel with a wide neck, place it on top of the jar and use a ladle to pour the sauce through the funnel into the jar. It will save you all that time from spooning it in and then having to wipe the inner and outer rim of the jar. When the jar is full, gently lift the funnel and place it on to the next jar without allowing it to drip between the two, so forth and so on. Tighten up the lids as you go and then re sterilise the full jars as you did. The pool is coming to life and it will be amazing! I hope that soon you will be able to get in, cool off swim and relax,
Beautiful filming Kylie. You look happy. The pool will be wonderful, it won't even bother you about the color after it is complete. The sink çurtain is lovely and rustic and your tomato preserving is impressive. Love the cellar and stay safe ❤️
It always puts a smile on my face when you talk to inanimate objects with a loving 'ciao, see you in a couple of months'. Even inanimate objects get treated with love and tenderness. I'm pretty much the same when I tell my cleaning products to 'now stay there and don't move, I don't want to see you all toppled tomorrow morning'. We just care.
Kyle, pressure Canning turned out to be easy once I got over the fear of pressure Canning. I just canned my first 6 quarts of my homemade grass fed beef bone broth and it was a success. I don't know why I was so scared. I bought my pressure canner over 2 months ago and just walked past it every day until I got up the confidence to finally use it. Ha, ha. Easy peasy. Don't overthink it like I did. You are going to be a phenomenal momma!! Children are truly our richest inheritance. Enjoy every moment!! ❤
I feel the same way!!! I love each one of them and feel as though I have a daughter in Italy and she is calling each week to reach out in love with all that she’s doing and feeling and to share life❤️
It is such a pleasure Kylie to witness all that you and Guido are creating. You look so beautiful and all that you do is truly an inspiration full of beauty and gifts us with much needed moments of tranquility, hope, and pleasure. Thank you. Love you.
I am loving your beautiful videos in August, 2022. The tomato sauce is beautiful. Your life is looking very stimulating. All my senses are tweaked when I watch your projects. I can smell the sauce, I feel the touch of the terra cotta tiles. The pool looks so inviting (even though it is still in progress). I can imagine how cool it will be. I love that you are not stressing about all that is not done. Time will bring it all together. You and Guido and bambino are getting ready to start a beautiful life . I am so glad I am able to have a glimpse at such a beautiful life. I try your recipes and my guests are always impressed and want more. I have no leftovers. You look so healthy. I am very pleased for you. I have a cellar similar to yours. I keep wine, potatoes, other root vegetables in mine as well. I have not embarked on canning or any other way of preserving, but you certainly inspire me to try. Katie
I love the terra cotta tiles that you chose. I built a Tuscan house here in SoCal 3 years ago. I ended up buying handmade Terra Cotta from Spain. Approximately 4,000 square feet of it for the inside as well as the courtyard and patio. No regrets.
Such a joy to see this little girl in Kylie eyes her passion for what she do,sprakles in her eyes gives a hug to my heart all the time I see the episode ..I call it hiding treasure, this what most people missing nowadays.Thank you Kylie and Guido to your beautiful souls.Hugs
Love, love, love everything you are doing in your home♥️ I love watching what you are creating next. Thank you for sharing your love for life, health, & love of course! Blessing to you, Guido, and baby💖🙏🏼
Kyle I love how you're always trying new ways of preparing food. The pool is beautiful.Its great that its big enough to do laps. You do look tired in this heat.Take a nap as often as you can. I'm sure Guido will come through with getting the bathroom done before your bambino arrives.
It's wonderful to see you fully pregnant and blossoming. You poor thing, I can't imagine being preganant during such a high heat summer. It looks like things are coming together and it must be so hard on you to resist helping out as much as you can. Your attidtude toward incomplete projects is inspiring. If you are relaxed, your baby will be relaxed and not fussy. Can't wait for the little bambino to arrive. Bless you and Guido! Sending my best.🥰
All you have to do is read all the well wishes to know you have a kind group of followers. By Christmastime everything will be in place (or most of it!) You can enjoy your home, your baby, and some of that tomato sauce! So very happy for all.
Oh my goodness...this brought back memories from 55 years ago. My grandma and grandpa had a cellar door like that but with old shelves and dirt floors. We would always hurry to their house when a tornado was coming our way. Or my cousins and I would go down there and play. So much cooler down there back in 1967. We didn't have air conditioning either back then. Can't wait for you to have your precious baby. Love your videos! God Bless! From South West Missouri USA
My husband warms the bottle with the contents in a pot of boiling water (below the lid level) so that when he seals them, it creates a vacuum. When he bottles his marinaded veges, he always adds an extra layer of olive oil on the top, to seal in the veg (not exposed to air). Storing jars inverted also helps to preserve the seal. We are so looking forward to your little one's arrival.
I watch your videos and it feels so nostalgic and like you're living f a fairytale. I live on Long Island. The life for the most part, people have to keep up appearances with designer labels etc. I would love to live a life as rich of love and nature like yours. I escape watching your videos. 🥰🥰🥰
I personally feel you will find motherhood blissful even in fatigue, and an easy homemade meal will be extra delightful! I pray breastfeeding does work out for you, because in the long run it makes everything easier! Once you both get it down, and baby stays up as much as possible during the day everything will be a breeze❤️ Plus, you have a great support system, and I think it will be a very enjoyable joyous time for you all!
Absolutely enchanting share! As I watch the adorable , persevering & joyous pair of purple rumped sunbirds lovingly build their cosy nest in my backyard, it reminds me so much of you two so lovingly moulding your dream nest.May the Almighty as always protect & lead you on the resplendant path HE has charted out for you.
Great pool with your own touches and design…the baby will love it next year. Love watching the improvements. Lots of work, grime and grit with great pay off. A home you can say you put in lots of vision, effort and love. Just beautiful, priceless! I’m so enjoying your videos. Thank you!
I learned for jar canning, do not store your jars with the lids on. Just store with the lid that is sealed without the screw part of the lid. Also do not stack jar on jar. The reason is IF the seal is bad you can see the mold. But if the lid is screwed down tight you can not see that the jar is compromised so the botulism is invisible. Better to see it. Everything you do looks magical. Thank you for taking us on your journey. ❤️
You're all looking well, Kylie. That's lovely to see. It is so relaxing and satisfying being able to preserve the fruit and vegetables that one harvests from one's own garden. My problem is that I give away more jars of jam, chutney or pickled veggies than I keep. I suppose I should be happy that my friends like them so much! I love your rustic kitchen, by the way! Take care and thank you🤗
These magnificent, beautifully filmed videos are food for my soul, Kylie and Guido. It is sometimes difficult to live life in a place you do not feel a part of; however, it is uplifting to see others who are perfectly in their place. As always, Grazie!!🥰
Mi stupisce che ha scelta una vita cosi` in contatto con quasi tutto: la natura, la cucina, il cucire. Sa fare del tutto. E` molto fortunata. Voi due sta creando una vita di sogni per voi e per il bambino che avviene.
Another wonderful video. Your RUclips videos are the ultimate 'me' time, my boyfriend knows when i tell him "I'm watching Kylies video" that it's my time to chill and catch up. Wonderful, I look forward to them every week! X
What a fun video to watch! Love the pool it's coming along and before you know it there will be a lovely pool for you to swim and teach your son how to swim! Little secret to a fully energized baby, is have him swim with you back and forth taking to him and cheering him on to keep swimming, then nurse and he will be out like a light for his mid morning nap! 🐠 You also inspired me to do the same with my tomatoes, thank you. 🙏
Kylie...for canning acidic products you need non aluminum pots and tools. A nice ladle and a canning funnel will make the job go much faster. A dampened towel run around the top rim is all thats necessary. That prevents any food bit from becoming trapped between the rubber of the lid and the glass of the rim and preventing a good seal from happening. You are doing a wonderful job preparing for this lucky, lucky baby. You look as beautiful as ever. Your videos are like a little mini vacation for me. I cannot ever hope to see your part of the world so I peek in with you each week. Thank you for all the effort it takes. God bless you and yours.
Everything is coming together and I hope 🙏 the bathroom is finished for when you need it! I was happy to see your video today, especially after last week! Thinking of you and that the final stages of your pregnancy 🫃 will go smoothly!
so soothing😌 i am in love with that sink, so satisfying seeing all the little tomatoes floating free in such a wide space💓 the music in the background of you sewing was just perfect, dreamy.. motivates me to get behind my sewing machine and make something beautiful your little red jars are very cute, i think it’s beautiful to take care of your future self like that I’m also planning a first experience with conserving this autumn🤞, didn’t know about the lemon juice much love, wish you nice days ahead
FIRST THING!!! LOVE the intro music! Feels upbeat, intriguing and best of all....hopeful and a bit fun!! 😍👏❤ Ps. Pins used in sewing should be perpendicular to the seam: and suggestion for next time, make an extra pocket seam (seam pocket gathered at the top) to hide the opening above the rod. You could flip the curtain, redo the seams and let out the previous seams.....beautiful as ever.
Hi Kylie, If you interested in canning get a copy of the Ball canning book. It is a good overall book on all the rules of preserving foods safely. Love watching your beautiful videos and sharing your progress in your renovations. You have made very lovely selections for home. Hope you are resting and enjoying this precious time of being pregnant it really is a special and sacred time for you. Blessings to you both.
It is wonderful to watch the beautiful life and home you and Guido are building 🤍 thank you for sharing this with us folks online. All the building process is reminiscent of my Fiancee’s home back home in Puerto Rico. We hope to someday own the home and continue remodeling it to be as rustic as can be similar to how you and Guido are doing (at a much smaller scale though, his family’s home is not over 100 years old 😅)
I just found your youtube channel. Absolutely stunning! Love your joy in the little things you get accomplished. (The happy squeal after finishing the under the sink curtain.) The jars in that very large cellar just bring life and sunshine to the small pace. Before you know it... you will have the cellar full of wonderful things. Please do take care with going down there whilst pregnant. Thank you for sharing your home, life and love.
Oh yes! I see your boiling in a water bath. Your wonderful! We mother’s love preserving food for our families. It’s in a woman’s nature to always be prepared ahead. You’re amazing and so talented! Ad looking amazing with the blooming beauty of an expectant mother!🤗🤗😍😍🙏🙏
I love canning, though I only have access to a water-bath canning method. Just a tip for next time: Lemons vary in their acidity, so it's safer to use bottled lemon juice, which has, in its making process, naturally balanced out the acidity between all of the lemons juiced at once... Another option is powdered citric acid. Enjoy your new adventures into canning! I regularly make apple sauce, and apple pie filling, as well as canned tomato soups and pickles.
Kylie you don't need to add lemon to the tomatoes because they are already acidic, especially cherry tomatoes, they are higher than the normal larger tomatoes. Take care, not far to go now. 🥰
Guardare i tuoi video è diventata la parte migliore del mio weekend. Grazie per la tua dedizione, so che non deve essere facile con la gravidanza e la ristrutturazione. 😘
The sink area looks beautiful. I love the size! Perfect for abundant treats from the garden! Glad to see you looking so relaxed amid the flurry of renovating. I do pray that everything will come together for you before the baby arrives. Many blessings to you and Guido and the Little One!
Kylie, the joy you experience in completing everyday tasks & new projects is uplifting to watch & very contagious! Thanks for inspiring us! Sending love from Canada.♥🥰
I’ve been learning to can also. I learned from Homestead Heart on RUclips. She’s great. A wide canning funnel will make your life easier. So proud of you!
The sauce looks amazing 😍😍 the way my mother taught me to preserve jams and other veggie sauces is pouring them freshly boiled into jars and adding the lid immediately after. Of course first making sure the edges are clean. This way the lids will pop when the jars are opened. No other boiling is involved. With this method I preserved jams for 2 years without any mould being created. Oh, and I wrapped the jars in newspaper. Hope that helps. And I guess it's trial an error until you find a method which works for you. ❤️
Oh my gosh Kylie, that cellar is gorgeous! I wish I lived there. Italy looks so beautiful. My grandparents were both from Italy, and I really want to visit there before I die. I wish you would've shown the process of how you can your sauce. Your cherry tomatoes looked amazing too. Your pool will be stunning!
Another example of every day life in rural Tuscany. Simply refreshes the soul to follow your progress, both with renovations and the magic of your pregnancy! Many thanks for sharing.xx
Hi KF, you're going to be a fabulous mother. Already caressing your "baby bump" so gently. Your channel continues to give me peace as I watch one episode after the other, reminiscing what my most beautiful late partner and friend would say as we watched. BTW, she had a special funnel with a wide opening that fits on the mason par when pouring the completed jam or sauce into the jar, thus keeping the open free of spillage and reducing the cleaning of the neck. Just thought I'd mention that. Hope you don't mind. It all looks so yummy, I can taste it through the screen. Please stay safe and follow the Doctor's instructions. God bless you two. 🙏🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼
I love seeing how much joy shines through your eyes when you are doing the most simplest of things like sewing, it inspires me to also clap for joy and smile at the end of a project. It is simply lovely, everything in this episode. You are going to be a wonderful mother.
Where do you find all your strength to accomplish all your endless and wonderful projects ? Your creations are absolutely a reflection of your beauty . You always amaze and are so genuinely positive and dedicated and everything you do is so special. Stay well ,do not overdo and continue to be the wonderful positive couple you are. You are loved and admired by many .
It is so wonderful being able to watch a couple physically make a beautiful home for themselves and their family instead of getting up every morning drinking a fast cup of coffee getting in the car driving in the rat race to a job and then coming home driving through the rat race being exhausted to make a quick dinner and then fall him to bed! You are living the life that we all should be creating for ourselves instead of the one that we have allowed the world to create for us! I personally think that that is the one good thing that has come out of the RUclips experience is to allow people to create income and to be able to work at home and create a life with their families!
Wait until your electric bill hits you.
Oh Kylie when you started sewing with that beautiful music.. tears filled my eyes.. it brought back so many memories of my dear Mama (I’m 62!) that was so industrious in her home. Always preserving, sewing, painting & creating. This video brought back these memories. You are truly amazing! Your home will be and is, bathed in love, beauty & creativity. Wishing you all the health & happiness for the months ahead. ❤️
So happy it touched you. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
@@KylieFlavell Thankyou fir your reply. We live in Melbourne and will be in Tuscany for all of September. Hoping it will be cooler!! Cannot wait.. 6 years since we’ve been to our beloved Italy. I feel so at home there. 💕💕
I played this piece of music recently on viola in an local orchestra here in the US...Elgar’s Nimrod always brings sublime beauty to my ears and touches my heart...it is a perfect selection for this lovely.vignette ❤️ thank you!!!...
If you add meat or fish to your beautiful sauce you’ll have to get a pressure canner as the water bath canning method is only for high acid food like tomatoes, fruit, jams etc. Low acid food including vegetables like green beans, legumes, onions, all meats and proteins must be properly pressure canned according to what’s in the jars, size of the jars and your elevation above sea level to be safe. Keep in mind that babies under one year should not be eating home canned food of any kind as their little bodies can’t process even a minuscule amount of the botulism spores that may be present and that have no ill effect on older children and adults.
Don’t let that frighten you off though! Canning with a pressure canner is easy and fun with the right canner for your stove type, good safe recipes found in updated canning books and following the manufacturer’s instructions for your model of pressure canner. ❤️
The image of the beautiful color of the tomatoes, in your stunning sink with the water running from the brass faucet !
Absolutely fabulous!
Love this format with you sitting down talking and letting Guido pick up the heavy pots.
You look sensational with your babybomp!
From watching your vedios for so long and seeing you from your care free single day's to seeing you nesting is incredible for me..
Love the two of you and soon to be three. ❤
You’re building a beautiful life Kylie and Guido. Such a satisfying pop on the tomatoe preserves - my mouth is watering, delicious. And it’s wonderful to watch the skill of tradesmen- they truly are amazing to work in such extreme heat. The farm house will be so different this time next year with AC, a swimming pool and even more love 🕊💕
When I see women canning and sewing it reminds me of my mother who passed away less than 2 months ago. You are fabulous I wish I had your talents you are inspiring. This is from a 54 year old. Keep up the strength in these heatwaves.
I’m so sorry for your loss. How beautiful that you have these memories of your mother. ♥️♥️♥️
This is from a 68 year old...love to sew and cook...you are an inspiration...God bless you always!
I had a surgery yesterday with only a two days notice of it needing to be done. I was able to find a little time to make a pot of chicken and rice stew to have ready for me while I’m now recovering. Just like your tomato sauce, these are such nurturing things we can do in our self care to stay strong and healthy for ourselves and our families. As I rest now in my bed, your videos bring me such tranquility. You and your precious baby will appreciate your efforts in this “nesting’ time you are taking. Thank you for your art Kylie 💖
Hi Kylie.. I am using friends computer. .I am Cathy from ohio, usa..look into Ball canning book.. has Been my go to for 40 years besides Betty Crocker cook book... learned to can from my Hungarian grandma and my mother. ..you must can safely.. and as I saw someone say in your comments.. do not add meat to your sauce unless you pressure can..you can add that later to your sauce as you are making dinner.. or make in batches that you can freeze...meat canning is specific.. please be safe...congrats on soon new baby !! Get lots of rest in this heat ! God Bless your young family.
I love my Friday evenings with you, Kylie. Keeps me tethered to what's real and beautiful and simple. A much needed escape from what's promoted elsewhere. Thank you.
What a kind comment. Thank you Samantha. 🙏
Adding my thoughts late but many tomatoes are now developed to be less acidic; for this reason, canning manuals recommend the lemon juice addiction now. Looks delicious! Julie 🌷 a 💯 Dutch girl in the USA 🇺🇸
Hi Kylie,
Congratulations on canning for the first time. I just finished a batch of marinara sauce. I didn’t water bath mine but if you keep the tomatoes boiling and fill the jars while they are hot you can screw the lids on tightly and turn upside down on a towel on your table. You’ll want to immediately cover with an old comforter overnight. They should all seal quite nicely.
I noticed you were cooking your tomatoes in an aluminum pot, (at least it looks like aluminum). That is a HUGE no-no, because the acid from the tomatoes causes aluminum to leach into the sauce. If you cook tomatoes cook with stainless steel pots.
I learned how to can the authentic tomato sauce watching an Italian grandma on RUclips. I can’t remember her name, but she has great tips.
You have such a lovely home! I LOVE your root cellar! You seemed tired in this video. I know it’s hard, but don’t forget to rest.
Thanks for always sharing such beautiful videos with us!
oh dear sadly this is correct about the aluminum.. what a pity
That really is not a safe canning practice... the way Kylie did it is correct!!
The same here, I just wanted to share with Kylie but you already did a great job explaining everything 👍
Kylie, my 85 year old mother canned 38 quarts of tomatoes last summer to have for soups throughout the winter. She uses the same method and has for years. It’s so wonderful to be able to use your own home preserved food when you cook! Take care! You look fantastic!
You guys are building a literal masterpiece - that stone sink looks like it has been there for centuries - what an incredible home, life and lifestyle you are building. Kudos to both of you - God bless you.
Kylie, I watched your video for a second time today as a mid-week treat. You are creating the most romantic spaces for your home - the pure Italian dining, sitting room and then the masterpiece stone table, trucked in before your wedding and now forever a centrepiece anchored in family life. Your videos always bring joy, and right across the world it would seem x Vale to two beautiful pitch-perfect voices Judith Durham, watch The Seekers - I'll never find another you (HQ Stereo 1964/1968) - a live recording at Abbey Road and Olivia Newton-John. Rest in Peace.
If you watch the Positano Diaries, Nicki ( + brother in law) bottles masses of tomatoes every year. She has a metal funnel that sits in the top of the jar and stops anything soiling it before putting the lid. Well worth a watch. They have a huge drum that they fill with boiling water to sterilise them after filling. x
How precious Kylie, BUT, please have Guido make stair rails on each side of the steps PLEASE!!! For safety
In every country house, deserving the name, there are 4 season pots!!!! Well done!
I'm always amazed at how multi talented and diligent you are Kylie so much admire you. God Bless you, Guido and you're little baby. Thank you for the upload so much enjoyed it. Love that cellar ! ♥️♥️
Everything will be fine for both of you by the time the baby arrives. You were doing fine with the canning. It was perfectly done. Having a child is the most beautiful thing in the world. When I held my first child in my arms, I was unprepared for the overwhelming emotion of love and wonder that took over and from that moment, I enjoyed every moment I had with my child and husband. A new and extraordinary experience that is unique for each person involved.😘
Loving the pace of your life as you transition to motherhood... the rich details of preparing for a new way of living. Gorgeous video.
Kylie, I love the sink curtain's colors and pattern. So lovely. Little baby will have a lovely home to grow up in and healthy food to dine upon. My wish this last week as Americans were dreaming about what to do with their mega millions' winnings, I dreamt of living in Tuscany not far from Firenze yet out in the countryside like you and Guido. Italy was magical when I last visited and remains a warm place in my heart. Until then, I will, I will continue to watch your beautiful videos.
So lovely, " a gift to your future self" . Thank you Kylie for this tranquil episode!
Thank you for making time to watch it. 🙏
Ahh such a great life you and Guido are carving out together! You both work hard to make your dreams come true together and everything is so beautiful, speaking of beautiful.. Kylie you look absolutely radiant!! So gorgeous! You will be, and already are, such an amazing mother and I can see Guido being such a great father too, this is one very lucky baby on the way! Love you all so much, and everything you do! I live vicariously through your wonderful Tuscan life! So extremely excited for all of you! The tomato sauce looks & sounds delicious too and as others have said.. the scene with all the tomatoes bathing in your lovely farm style sink, was very calming and pleasing and watching you do the canning and sewing the curtain for under the sink, it makes my domestic abilities want to be that good. Maybe someday when I can retire from my business. Wishing you all stay very healthy & happy, and looking forward to your next video. Much love! 🥰💕🙏🏼🫶🏻
It is gratifying that you honor historic craftsmanship and style. I watched a Canadian interior designer restore a Tuscan villa and cringed at her superiority complex and hell bent drive to achieve a modern style with a Tuscan view. You have graciously demonstrated loving humility while achieving a meaningful lifestyle. You are an inspiration.
We are literally mesmerised by your competence...and love of natural products..your baby will have an amazing beginning ❤️
You are a Goddess! Everything you do and touch takes on your light, and even the simplest things become more beautiful. Thank you for sharing your magic with us. ✨✨
So sweet, Tanya. 😘😘😘😘
Kylie, you have such patience and grace with the everything you do. Your sauce looks amazing and I'm delighted the pool, electrical and air conditioning work is coming along. I worry about how much you do and please be careful on those basement stairs. You bring so much joy to so many people with your talent. Thank you.
Lovely how things are becoming Kylie. A wonderful home and a great life you are making for yourselves💜
As usual, love your vlog Kylie! Sending you love...and I just wanted to say that after watching you for 2 and a half years, I believe you are a very BRAVE and HARD WORKING woman with a lovely, creative soul! ❤ May you and Guido have a happy life and may your home constructions be done well!
Thank you so much. ♥️♥️♥️
You’re going to love motherhood Kylie! You have a gift for savoring the moment, and while there is plenty of tiredness and such, it’s real-life magic. You will be a wonderful mama and I’ll be praying your last few weeks are peaceful and calm! ❤️
The Toile de Jouy fabric is just perfect for your kitchen. I enjoy canning tomato sauce, I also roast cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic and herbs in the oven. I store them in small container and freeze them for the winter time. It is delicious with pasta or with roasted chicken.
I’m always in awe by you. You’re videos have been therapy for me. Thank you! Xoxo
In our family we do no put lemon juice in the sugo and we don't boil the filled jars, but just insert the fresh hot sugo in the jars and then turn them on their lids until they are cold. Thus the whole content is disinfected and you have the vacuum effect.
As soon as you add fish or meat to the sugo (e.g. ragù), in our family we rely on single portions that we put in the freezer, I would not dare to keep them even in the cellar. Magnificent cellar, by the way! ♡
Your filming is always glorious, I can smell those tomatoes in the sink, and the cooked sugo just looking at your footage, so much goodness!
The blue toile de jouy is beautiful in the kitchen! If you do need a row of tiles there, that blue sample tile would be a lovely accent in the kitchen with all the warm earthy colors in there and that blue toile!
Cooked ragu is best frozen not canned. A good sized freezer in the storage room is very handy to have, also for freezing baby food in the future, although I'd expect you'll be making fresh purées. With a large freezer in storage you don't need to plan for more than a fridge with a small icebox in your limited kitchen space.
You look so healthy and radiant even in the heatwave with a bun in the oven, it's really remarkable!
I have so many Italian tomato sauce stories, about love, loss, family and friends. In a way I think this tradition is central to the culture and is as much about preserving memories, sharing them and creating new ones as it is about not wasting the harvest. One of my friend's mother died some years ago, and her fathers way of dealing with his grief was growing a zillion tomatoes and cooking and canning sauce, to the extent she thought he'd gone crazy. They had an entire space like your cellar filled with sugo and passata and were giving jars and jars to everyone who'd take them, and it was just so moving how happy it made the old gentleman. Every single jar was a testament to the love of his late wife. 😭 I took as much as we could eat, because it was also the best sauce ever!
The old man's youngest grandson, a teething baby in a high chair would sit next to grandad in only diapers with spaghetti and tomatosauce on the tray of his chair and chilled home made rustic sourdough bread dipped in olive oil to sooth the teething, and when he put any of these in his mouth with his little hands granddad cheered and boasted the boy was raised a proper Italian! Afterwards the old man would take the baby now covered in tomato sauce from head to toe and rinse him off in the garden sink. 😁 One thing's for sure, kids raised that way don't have any issues with eating or malnutrition!
It's all about the love. ❤️
Too many stories to tell.
My point is, you are making your own, and like these videos are a treasure for the future, your sugo is too, with a time stamp and everything!
You have a very sound attitude about all the renos. It will all come together in time and fretting about it is pointless.
Take care both of you!
Baci! /Jo
Wow, how beautiful. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Ahhh, thank you for this half hour calm, peaceful, beautiful respite from big city living.
Your Passata looks so delicious, watching you create this was a sensation. I could almost smell it, taste it, and feel the warmth and love that you put into it! Treat yourself to a jam/preserve funnel with a wide neck, place it on top of the jar and use a ladle to pour the sauce through the funnel into the jar. It will save you all that time from spooning it in and then having to wipe the inner and outer rim of the jar. When the jar is full, gently lift the funnel and place it on to the next jar without allowing it to drip between the two, so forth and so on. Tighten up the lids as you go and then re sterilise the full jars as you did. The pool is coming to life and it will be amazing! I hope that soon you will be able to get in, cool off swim and relax,
Beautiful filming Kylie. You look happy. The pool will be wonderful, it won't even bother you about the color after it is complete. The sink çurtain is lovely and rustic and your tomato preserving is impressive. Love the cellar and stay safe ❤️
Your filming is exquisite and your song choice were just enchanting. I felt transported. Beautifully done.💗🤗
It always puts a smile on my face when you talk to inanimate objects with a loving 'ciao, see you in a couple of months'. Even inanimate objects get treated with love and tenderness. I'm pretty much the same when I tell my cleaning products to 'now stay there and don't move, I don't want to see you all toppled tomorrow morning'. We just care.
Kyle, pressure Canning turned out to be easy once I got over the fear of pressure Canning. I just canned my first 6 quarts of my homemade grass fed beef bone broth and it was a success. I don't know why I was so scared. I bought my pressure canner over 2 months ago and just walked past it every day until I got up the confidence to finally use it. Ha, ha. Easy peasy. Don't overthink it like I did. You are going to be a phenomenal momma!! Children are truly our richest inheritance. Enjoy every moment!! ❤
Best videos on RUclips 🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing Kylie, it makes me so happy to watch them!💕
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Thank you Elena!
I feel the same way!!! I love each one of them and feel as though I have a daughter in Italy and she is calling each week to reach out in love with all that she’s doing and feeling and to share life❤️
It is such a pleasure Kylie to witness all that you and Guido are creating. You look so beautiful and all that you do is truly an inspiration full of beauty and gifts us with much needed moments of tranquility, hope, and pleasure. Thank you. Love you.
I am loving your beautiful videos in August, 2022. The tomato sauce is beautiful. Your life is looking very stimulating. All my senses are tweaked when I watch your projects. I can smell the sauce, I feel the touch of the terra cotta tiles. The pool looks so inviting (even though it is still in progress). I can imagine how cool it will be. I love that you are not stressing about all that is not done. Time will bring it all together. You and Guido and bambino are getting ready to start a beautiful life . I am so glad I am able to have a glimpse at such a beautiful life. I try your recipes and my guests are always impressed and want more. I have no leftovers. You look so healthy. I am very pleased for you. I have a cellar similar to yours. I keep wine, potatoes, other root vegetables in mine as well. I have not embarked on canning or any other way of preserving, but you certainly inspire me to try. Katie
I love the terra cotta tiles that you chose. I built a Tuscan house here in SoCal 3 years ago. I ended up buying handmade Terra Cotta from Spain. Approximately 4,000 square feet of it for the inside as well as the courtyard and patio. No regrets.
It really seems like you guys are living a perfect dream life. I'll be so happy when I'm able to renovate my own dream home 😌⛅💙
I just love your vlogs❤️🇨🇦
Such a joy to see this little girl in Kylie eyes her passion for what she do,sprakles in her eyes gives a hug to my heart all the time I see the episode ..I call it hiding treasure, this what most people missing nowadays.Thank you Kylie and Guido to your beautiful souls.Hugs
Love, love, love everything you are doing in your home♥️ I love watching what you are creating next. Thank you for sharing your love for life, health, & love of course! Blessing to you, Guido, and baby💖🙏🏼
Kyle I love how you're always trying new ways of preparing food.
The pool is beautiful.Its great that its big enough to do laps.
You do look tired in this heat.Take a nap as often as you can.
I'm sure Guido will come through with getting the bathroom done before your bambino arrives.
It's wonderful to see you fully pregnant and blossoming. You poor thing, I can't imagine being preganant during such a high heat summer. It looks like things are coming together and it must be so hard on you to resist helping out as much as you can. Your attidtude toward incomplete projects is inspiring. If you are relaxed, your baby will be relaxed and not fussy. Can't wait for the little bambino to arrive. Bless you and Guido! Sending my best.🥰
Love the music and Mateo is so lucky to have the second best mom ever! Thanks for another great Friday night🙏
All you have to do is read all the well wishes to know you have a kind group of followers. By Christmastime everything will be in place (or most of it!) You can enjoy your home, your baby, and some of that tomato sauce! So very happy for all.
Oh my goodness...this brought back memories from 55 years ago. My grandma and grandpa had a cellar door like that but with old shelves and dirt floors. We would always hurry to their house when a tornado was coming our way. Or my cousins and I would go down there and play. So much cooler down there back in 1967. We didn't have air conditioning either back then. Can't wait for you to have your precious baby. Love your videos! God Bless! From South West Missouri USA
My husband warms the bottle with the contents in a pot of boiling water (below the lid level) so that when he seals them, it creates a vacuum. When he bottles his marinaded veges, he always adds an extra layer of olive oil on the top, to seal in the veg (not exposed to air). Storing jars inverted also helps to preserve the seal.
We are so looking forward to your little one's arrival.
Its not Friday until I get notification!!!always always such a beautiful couple,words,scenery,food,wise words spoken from the heart ❤️🙏❤️
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I watch your videos and it feels so nostalgic and like you're living f a fairytale. I live on Long Island. The life for the most part, people have to keep up appearances with designer labels etc. I would love to live a life as rich of love and nature like yours. I escape watching your videos. 🥰🥰🥰
I couldn’t help but shout out loud, « her sink is working!!! » ❤️
I personally feel you will find motherhood blissful even in fatigue, and an easy homemade meal will be extra delightful! I pray breastfeeding does work out for you, because in the long run it makes everything easier! Once you both get it down, and baby stays up as much as possible during the day everything will be a breeze❤️ Plus, you have a great support system, and I think it will be a very enjoyable joyous time for you all!
Absolutely enchanting share! As I watch the adorable , persevering & joyous pair of purple rumped sunbirds lovingly build their cosy nest in my backyard, it reminds me so much of you two so lovingly moulding your dream nest.May the Almighty as always protect & lead you on the resplendant path HE has charted out for you.
I love the fabric for the sink skirt. In fact I have it in a smaller scale with an ivory background!
Great pool with your own touches and design…the baby will love it next year.
Love watching the improvements. Lots of work, grime and grit with great pay off. A home you can say you put in lots of vision, effort and love. Just beautiful, priceless!
I’m so enjoying your videos. Thank you!
I learned for jar canning, do not store your jars with the lids on. Just store with the lid that is sealed without the screw part of the lid. Also do not stack jar on jar. The reason is IF the seal is bad you can see the mold. But if the lid is screwed down tight you can not see that the jar is compromised so the botulism is invisible. Better to see it. Everything you do looks magical. Thank you for taking us on your journey. ❤️
You're all looking well, Kylie. That's lovely to see. It is so relaxing and satisfying being able to preserve the fruit and vegetables that one harvests from one's own garden. My problem is that I give away more jars of jam, chutney or pickled veggies than I keep. I suppose I should be happy that my friends like them so much! I love your rustic kitchen, by the way! Take care and thank you🤗
Sei bravissima impieghi ogni attimo della tua giornata esnza annoiarti mai sei fantastica 🤩🤩🤩💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏
These magnificent, beautifully filmed videos are food for my soul, Kylie and Guido. It is sometimes difficult to live life in a place you do not feel a part of; however, it is uplifting to see others who are perfectly in their place. As always, Grazie!!🥰
We built our pool last year. It was a labor of love. So worth it!
All those demijohns in the cellar made interior decorating heart skip a beat 😍
I love every video you post! One day I will make it over to Italy! For now, I will use your videos to daydream :)
Toile is my favorite. Masking tape is a best friend for labeling. You're amazing.
Mi stupisce che ha scelta una vita cosi` in contatto con quasi tutto: la natura, la cucina, il cucire. Sa fare del tutto. E` molto fortunata. Voi due sta creando una vita di sogni per voi e per il bambino che avviene.
Another wonderful video. Your RUclips videos are the ultimate 'me' time, my boyfriend knows when i tell him "I'm watching Kylies video" that it's my time to chill and catch up. Wonderful, I look forward to them every week! X
I love everything about your videos, but that toil fabric for the sink just made me smile. So sweet!! 💖
The color in the pool of tomatoes in the kitchen was beautiful
What a fun video to watch! Love the pool it's coming along and before you know it there will be a lovely pool for you to swim and teach your son how to swim! Little secret to a fully energized baby, is have him swim with you back and forth taking to him and cheering him on to keep swimming, then nurse and he will be out like a light for his mid morning nap! 🐠 You also inspired me to do the same with my tomatoes, thank you. 🙏
Kylie...for canning acidic products you need non aluminum pots and tools. A nice ladle and a canning funnel will make the job go much faster. A dampened towel run around the top rim is all thats necessary. That prevents any food bit from becoming trapped between the rubber of the lid and the glass of the rim and preventing a good seal from happening. You are doing a wonderful job preparing for this lucky, lucky baby. You look as beautiful as ever. Your videos are like a little mini vacation for me. I cannot ever hope to see your part of the world so I peek in with you each week. Thank you for all the effort it takes. God bless you and yours.
Everything is coming together and I hope 🙏 the bathroom is finished for when you need it! I was happy to see your video today, especially after last week! Thinking of you and that the final stages of your pregnancy 🫃 will go smoothly!
so soothing😌 i am in love with that sink, so satisfying seeing all the little tomatoes floating free in such a wide space💓
the music in the background of you sewing was just perfect, dreamy.. motivates me to get behind my sewing machine and make something beautiful
your little red jars are very cute, i think it’s beautiful to take care of your future self like that
I’m also planning a first experience with conserving this autumn🤞, didn’t know about the lemon juice
much love, wish you nice days ahead
FIRST THING!!! LOVE the intro music! Feels upbeat, intriguing and best of all....hopeful and a bit fun!! 😍👏❤
Ps. Pins used in sewing should be perpendicular to the seam: and suggestion for next time, make an extra pocket seam (seam pocket gathered at the top) to hide the opening above the rod. You could flip the curtain, redo the seams and let out the previous seams.....beautiful as ever.
Thank you - great advice. The builders actually placed the rod crooked so they’re moving it higher.
Hi Kylie, If you interested in canning get a copy of the Ball canning book. It is a good overall book on all the rules of preserving foods safely. Love watching your beautiful videos and sharing your progress in your renovations. You have made very lovely selections for home. Hope you are resting and enjoying this precious time of being pregnant it really is a special and sacred time for you. Blessings to you both.
It is wonderful to watch the beautiful life and home you and Guido are building 🤍 thank you for sharing this with us folks online. All the building process is reminiscent of my Fiancee’s home back home in Puerto Rico. We hope to someday own the home and continue remodeling it to be as rustic as can be similar to how you and Guido are doing (at a much smaller scale though, his family’s home is not over 100 years old 😅)
I just found your youtube channel. Absolutely stunning! Love your joy in the little things you get accomplished. (The happy squeal after finishing the under the sink curtain.) The jars in that very large cellar just bring life and sunshine to the small pace. Before you know it... you will have the cellar full of wonderful things. Please do take care with going down there whilst pregnant. Thank you for sharing your home, life and love.
Oh yes! I see your boiling in a water bath. Your wonderful! We mother’s love preserving food for our families. It’s in a woman’s nature to always be prepared ahead.
You’re amazing and so talented! Ad looking amazing with the blooming beauty of an expectant mother!🤗🤗😍😍🙏🙏
I love canning, though I only have access to a water-bath canning method. Just a tip for next time: Lemons vary in their acidity, so it's safer to use bottled lemon juice, which has, in its making process, naturally balanced out the acidity between all of the lemons juiced at once... Another option is powdered citric acid. Enjoy your new adventures into canning! I regularly make apple sauce, and apple pie filling, as well as canned tomato soups and pickles.
Kylie you don't need to add lemon to the tomatoes because they are already acidic, especially cherry tomatoes, they are higher than the normal larger tomatoes. Take care, not far to go now. 🥰
My canning book does recommend adding lemon juice, and salt is optional.
Guardare i tuoi video è diventata la parte migliore del mio weekend. Grazie per la tua dedizione, so che non deve essere facile con la gravidanza e la ristrutturazione. 😘
The sink area looks beautiful. I love the size! Perfect for abundant treats from the garden! Glad to see you looking so relaxed amid the flurry of renovating. I do pray that everything will come together for you before the baby arrives. Many blessings to you and Guido and the Little One!
Kylie, the joy you experience in completing everyday tasks & new projects is uplifting to watch & very contagious! Thanks for inspiring us! Sending love from Canada.♥🥰
😘😘 So glad you enjoyed it, Lucy.
I had some non slip (fine sand) added to the pool deck travertine sealant so that my wild grandchildren don’t slip
I’ve been learning to can also. I learned from Homestead Heart on RUclips. She’s great. A wide canning funnel will make your life easier. So proud of you!
The sauce looks amazing 😍😍 the way my mother taught me to preserve jams and other veggie sauces is pouring them freshly boiled into jars and adding the lid immediately after. Of course first making sure the edges are clean. This way the lids will pop when the jars are opened. No other boiling is involved. With this method I preserved jams for 2 years without any mould being created. Oh, and I wrapped the jars in newspaper. Hope that helps. And I guess it's trial an error until you find a method which works for you. ❤️
Oh my gosh Kylie, that cellar is gorgeous! I wish I lived there. Italy looks so beautiful. My grandparents were both from Italy, and I really want to visit there before I die. I wish you would've shown the process of how you can your sauce. Your cherry tomatoes looked amazing too. Your pool will be stunning!
Best wishes Kylie and Guido with the baby. It will be a very lucky baby with such great parents. Love your vlogs
Another example of every day life in rural Tuscany. Simply refreshes the soul to follow your progress, both with renovations
and the magic of your pregnancy! Many thanks for sharing.xx
Its refreshing to watch your life unfold.
It’s been such a looooong week! Been looking forward to this. Hope you and the baby are healthy!
Absolutely agree ☺
Kylie, as always your video was lovely. You are a woman who does all things well-a woman of excellence really. Thank you....
Absolutely stunning as always Kylie.
What a glorious life you live 💫
Hi KF, you're going to be a fabulous mother. Already caressing your "baby bump" so gently.
Your channel continues to give me peace as I watch one episode after the other, reminiscing what my most beautiful late partner and friend would say as we watched.
BTW, she had a special funnel with a wide opening that fits on the mason par when pouring the completed jam or sauce into the jar, thus keeping the open free of spillage and reducing the cleaning of the neck. Just thought I'd mention that. Hope you don't mind. It all looks so yummy, I can taste it through the screen.
Please stay safe and follow the Doctor's instructions. God bless you two. 🙏🏼🤟🏼🖖🏼
I love seeing how much joy shines through your eyes when you are doing the most simplest of things like sewing, it inspires me to also clap for joy and smile at the end of a project. It is simply lovely, everything in this episode. You are going to be a wonderful mother.
So happy to see this! You’ve made such great progress on all the projects 👏💚. The pool looks really good and the kitchen sink is so beautiful.
