Years ago when my wife was still alive and the kids were small my wife canned 900 quart jars one year - every thing from tomato sauce - cherries - peaches - beans - etc. - the kids still remember how good the canned cherries with home made yogurt was - makes one feel good when you have a lot of canned food stored and a large firewood pile - God bless
Amazing!!! God bless your hardworking and dedicated wife!!! What a legacy for your children!
Your wife was a super woman! Amazing!
@@camillebambi6449 agreed!
@@juliekooiker3408 она умерла,,,
well said joe pea!
Isn't it amazing how some tiny seeds, dirt and water can feed a family for a year?!? That is happiness, right there.
Blessed is God Almighty the Creator, Giver of Life!
And roughly an hour of hard work per 10lbs of produce.
And to think some people think that all this just came about by accident -
Amen to that!
Yes, amazing work 👏 🙌 👌
"I don't remember anything before I met you, cause you stole my heart." Brilliant husband. Great videos!
From a fellow homesteader nothing better than preservation day and counting those jars and months of hard work! Thank you for sharing!!
Please bring back your longer videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰🇦🇺🇦🇺
3:54…”I don’t remember anything from before I met you because you stole my heart”. Eric is a very smart man lol.
Thank you for being “ a little neglectful “ and “not quite on top “- you give me hope !❤️
It's crazy how much food you can grow in Alaska!
I'm 60 years old, Cascade foothills of Washington state born and raised. You two live the life that I dreamed of and never took action. I'm in awe of what you've accomplished. Anyone can have bush craft skills, anyone can have gardening skills. The MAGIC that you two posses is long suffering acceptance. Love yourself, love each other, accept what you perceive to be your partners shortcomings and press on. I'm green with envy, sad for a life squandered and grateful for the opportunity to vicariously envision my dreams through you.
It's not too late my friend. If you are pro-gun and like hunting and fishing, you are welcome here. Sell out and head up the highway. I've been here almost 50 years. A lot has changed, but this is still the best place to live.
I love that you two never get upset when things go awry, you just back up and do it another way. Tomato popsicles - that may catch on. That was a beautiful productive harvest.
I throw my extra tomatoes in the freezer, too. It works pretty well.
@@brendag2891 I'll have to try that.
I have not ever tried to freeze my tomatoes. I thought I had to either use them or give them away (until I learned how to can them). Now, I will freeze them too.
Unless I’m making fresh sauce for dinner I always freeze them to get a huge batch to can. If you cut a small x in the bottom and take the core out (with a knife or strawberry/tomato corer.) you can freeze with the skins on and just thaw or run under warm water and the skins slip right off! No blanching and peeling. Love to do it that way. You can then dehydrate the skins and make tomato powder (for thickener or reconstitute with some water to make tomato paste).
You guys are awesome, by far the most interesting, informative and grounded couple!! 🎃
I agree with you. I am glad they keep their channel focused on the content and continue to provide us with more and more.
I love how you work together to get it all done.
Me too! A great example!
@@margarethuffman1961
Such can only happen with a truly compatible👫 couple!
I started canning a few years ago an I love to watch everything you can. It never sounds repetitive the way you show us and I appreciate your experience and knowledge. It helps me see I’m doing things right or wrong. A big thank you to you both.
I also began canning recently. I love to watch and learn from this channel (and others). I wish I knew about gardening and canning long ago (instead of super markets and fast food).
Loved this one, it's so awesome to watch the two of you go through the process of planting, harvesting, cooking and canning all of Mother Nature's abundance. Now I can't wait to see the two of you cooking throughout the winter with all of this goodness. Thanks for sharing.
Same.
Me too! I get so many great ideas watching them in the kitchen cookin' up some healthy goodness!
In my backyard, we planted purple tomatillos about 10 years ago and they've basically gone wild in the 4 foot by 20 foot side yard that was home to my mulch pile. Most people grow them as annuals; but they are really perennials and around here if you chop them down to about 6 inches from the ground around November, they'll come back around March.
Interesting, thanks.
Actually tomatillos and tomatoes are annual plants. They do not survive the winter and with roots that come back like perennials. But it seems they do because the seeds over-winter and sprout in spring. We call those "self-seeding annuals" and it really depends on what kind of winters you have whether the seeds will germinate - probably not in Alaska
Cool! What zone are you in?
Where do you live? That's so cool?
I live in Vancouver Canada and like you planted about 8 years ago. I tear my plants up every year so I think mine must self seed. I love them so much.They are truly prolific!
My wife and I always include tomato skins when making tomato sauce since they contain a lot of nutrients. We just grind them up with the immersion blender and no one ever notices them.
I just never want your videos to be over! Sometimes the simple things are the most relaxing
Oh me too! I look forward to every new episode and feel like it goes by way too fast!!😊
Me too ☺️. So relaxing and refreshing.
Awesome. The canning always reminds me of canning with my Mom when I was a kid.
Every time my boyfriend and I watch one of your videos, we feel like we’re hanging out with our best friends. Love you guys!
Feels good to have a storage issue when it comes to food you have grown.
Was that sound in the background of this video pouring rain? Man, that extra covered space you two created has turned out to be SO valuable to have for projects like this when it's raining or you need a dry place to cure onions, etc. Amazing results!
It has been so amazing this year with all the rain, and that day it was raining again. Thankfully we have moved onto snow ❄
I was thinking the same thing. The extra room for a make shift kitchen has allowed you both to work cohesive. Too smart!
Yay a new video to brighten my crappy day! I always love the garden harvests, recipe ideas, and of course seeing all the animals!
I'm sorry your day was crappy. Hope tomorrow is better for you.
I agree with you about the new video brightening your day (sorry it was crappy). I find myself waiting for their uploads and sometimes go back to their channel just to watch other videos. They represent the TRUE DEFINITION of a POWER COUPLE!
Thank you for explaining why you decided to pressure cook the tomato sauce. I found that very useful to know. It's fun getting excited with you over your abundance. Good job!
The best thing to remember is make videos about whatever you are exited in! Your enthusiasm is what makes the videos magic!
That green salsa looks amazing - I will have to try growing tomatillo! I grow plenty of tomatoes and preserve them. Thanks for sharing your bounty with us!!
You guys inspired me to try canning this year. Everything pickled with 1/2 vinegar/water plus spices, but I did okra, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, green beans, and Swiss chard. Everything’s been delicious so far. And my water bathing is improving. Last time 6 out of 8 sealed.
the smells in there around 7:30 have got to be amazzzzing. my mouth is watering
I was raised on a farm and you have me remember all the things we picked. We truck farm for all the local farmers market. We were a hunting and fishing family. Love your channel and you teach and show in a nice way so people can learn. Thanks.
I can almost smell it through my phone. Love the sizzling veggies
You guys make it look easy and fun, even though it was a rough day on the equipment you powered thru and set a new record! Love the new tomato skin technique as well!
Y’all work so hard but you sure do eat good! Better than going to any restaurant. Y’all are amazing. Love 💕 y’all!
Your videos are a highlight of my day
ExtraOrdinary!!! You guys are amazing. I love to watch the salmon canning…I guess because it is sooo good to eat straight from the jar! You deserve the Great Canner Award!
Canning is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I love to hear the pop of a can sealing, and just look at all the bounty God has blessed us to have. I congratulate you both on your hard work and your beautiful canned goods. You young people are very inspiring to us older folks, and I am always so excited to see what is in store next. I was just thinking if you decided to move to the new place, how much room you will have for a garden, animals, and even a cellar. I hope you become millionaires from all your hard work.
so much work and so many things to do ! but i think deserves , mostly because all is for the family !
When I see Ariel canning it brings back the memory of my mom canning.
Nothing like putting up tomato sauce. So pretty in jars and makes you feel good knowing you have them on the shelve. Nice job👍
Use the thick tomato sauce as a pizza sauce, for bruschetta, or to dip bread into.
It is also a good substitute for catsup in meatloaf, etc.
Fully addicted to this channel, have learnt so much and the content is simply nourishing for my mind and soul. I love a good cup of coffee and a video from Simple Living Alaska!
You can make green salsa from green tomatoes that are still on the vine after the first frost.
That's what I do. Can't stand to see something go to waste.
REAL thick!! Tomatoes. Red!! 👍. Green. Looks very delicious. too!!! Bless you enjoyed these videos!!!! Thank you
I so care about you two. What a blessing you are to all of us couch potatoes. See ya. Bob in Nevada
Love the sound of the tomatillos being harvested, that papery husk 😍
I get so excited when you guys upload videos, its like a family night for us.
Wow, lots of hard work. I’ve never really eaten Salsa Verde, but I would try yours. It looked delicious. I’m a spicy red salsa gal. Take care and God bless y’all. 😀❤️
Love watching you make items from your harvest! Thank you.
We made a lot of salsa verde too. Great stuff. You had another great harvest. Thank you for sharing. Happy canning❤️
I love watching you guys work together. Enjoy so much the canning videos! Keep up the good work!
Like your last name.
Những loại trái cây tốt,tôi rất thích
Fried green tomatoes is one of my fave movies 🥹 Congrats on such a massive harvest! 🎉
You stole Eric’s heart 🥰 That is sweet!
Glad to see you were able to find a way to use the peels, seeds. Really looks like you were able to use everything!
I sincerely mean this, you two are AMAZING!!!
All your canning is awesome. Blessings you two.
I had so many green paste tomatoes and made salsa verde with them. So good. I may try tomatillos next year
They reseed with vengeance. Just saying.
Love that you two show the REALITY of gardening and canning projects ---didn't get to harvesting the apple sized tomatillos on time, "you spilled a little" down the blender and on the prep table, checking the canning book for the millionth time to CYA, we heard sparking and had to stop, experimenting with adding blended tomato peels for thickener. Thanks for always sharing your real life adventures with us all!!
Much love from the Midwest US 💖
Just an idea you too thought of writing a book for people to prepare all kinds of food for the winter You
Two do a great job for getting ready for winter wish you the best of Life up their have a great year from an old guy in Minnesota I'm 73 😁☕
My mouth is watering looking at that green salsa.....enjoy!
Garden to table is so satisfying in so many ways. Never grown tomatillos, now you've got me curious.
Here we go Green Salsa time! Thank you for your inspiration, we grew Tomatillos this year & now I can make your recipe! Excited to to get this canned up.
Wonderful harvest. I've had terrible luck with tomatillos. The same ladybug pests that defoliate my potatoes decimate my tomatillos. This year I've been better at squishing the little critters, so both potatoes and tomatillos are doing better than normal! Fingers crossed for a harvest this year ☺️
Ladybirds eat aphids, so what really are your pests ?
@@CrimeVid spotted potato beetle
@@CrimeVid yeh I think they called 28 spotted lady beetle. They are different to normal ladybugs. They look similar, but destroy the garden
We get stink bugs that ruin squash, zucchini, etc.
@@trutsieo5430 how frustrating. There's a bug for everything isn't there 😅
I miss your garden videos. I can’t wait for them to come back to the channel.
Yeah y'all!! Great job!! Abundance in this situation equates to security and stability. What a cozy winter your heading into. Love ya!
My favorite green sauce. Thanks for sharing your beautiful videos and adventures. From Texas USA
It must be nice to have workspace outside. No mopping floors! How about an addition to the cabin to store your canning? Maybe next year. Love your vlog's.
Thanks. I enjoyed watching. Best of luck. ✌🏻👊
Amazing! a next project for Eric: build a trolley to carry all the jars back to the cabin…would be useful elsewhere too, am surprised you haven’t don’t it already. You both did a great job and congrats on the new canning record. Will there be a moose this year? a loved watching how you butcher a moose and make it ready for your needs. Stay are x
Your videos are so interesting to watch, with the beautiful garden and the camping. 😀🌷🌻🌹❤️🐶
You guys rock on the canning!!
Your video skills are awesome. You capture the essence of every adventure in a mesmerizing fashion. Incredible amount of salsa & tomato sauce that you produced.
A lot of hard work from starting seeds indoors, fertilizing,watering, weeding, pruning , harvesting, pepping, cooking and finally canning rewards you handsomely with quality
food. Bravo ! 👍👍👍
verde = green
Oh, I can't imagine how delicious it must be!
Love watching how you both reap the rewards of hard work. Makes me hungry
I am sooo happy you are having regular vlogs. I love when you both are on!
You and Eric need to add on a small room for your pantry stocking. It is important to have adequate storage space. Also where you can have easy access to all the abundance. You two are an amazing couple and I am proud of all your accomplishments. You are a fine example to our nation and what all couples can achieve together. I salute you and shall always wish you to he best . Well done!
I make my tomatillo salsa the exact same recipe, so I know exactly what yours tastes like, so good!!
Chef John-Pierre: Color equals flavor!! That bit of browning is a great idea!
Super excited about the new property! (Interested in your bee journey there! Bee's always work, it just requires experimenting )
I Keep my bees under a carport ( real dry) during winter really helps. (Also I love the wax treated bottom boards)
I love your outdoor kitchen! Have enjoyed listening to the rain while you are canning.
awesome! Thanks to you I grew tomatillos myself this year ( I had never heard of them before here in Ireland). I also made Salsa Verde, so good! Basically the same as your recipe, lime and coriander/cilantro makes all the difference. I still have whole tomatoes and tomatillos in the freezer to be processed when the first batch runs out 😊
Love your content. I like the critters and the nature and landscape photography. London England
I also like how you're strapped in case the grizzly bear comes. that's how they roll in alaska. I enjoy how you do seasonal hunting and harvesting and your food always inspires me to cook
Hello Eric and Ariel, You guys believe in going big or go home. Great job. ❤️
we had a large garden in our backyard growing up and our grandmother would can everything she could...we still had some canned figs, plums, tomatoes and such for a long time after she passed away..good living. thanks for sharing your life with us!!
Great job! It’s going to be so fantastic this winter! Maybe you’ll show us some of the ways you use it. 😊
so satisfying when you open a jar after all of that money cant buy that feeling .
Great video! This is my first year growing tomatillos and making Salsa Verde and it turned out so good. I enjoy your canning videos. I admit it always makes me a bit anxious when you pull those hot jars out of the canner and the air is cool but you know what you are doing. I always look for Bo in your videos. He looks old but I really like him.
Your very hard workers. You save lot of money. You. Eat very healthy!! God Bless. You you keep planting growing canning t enjoying!!! I am so so proud of you!!! Alaska. Is beautiful Yeah!?
Another fun video..well fun for us anyway. How blessed you two are to have each other !
Beautiful beautiful sauce and salsa! I was wondering if you exchange goodies with your friends and neighbors. Very smooth processing and operation. Thanks to the both of you.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in life
You two are amazing.
Good job! As a fellow gardener and canner I know how much labor goes into all those jars. Job well done!! Pure Satisfaction.
Thatsa lotta salsa (& tomato sauce). Love the canning videos, especially since all the ingredients came from your garden.
Enjoy watching your videos you always have some great ones I have never been disappointed
It must be so rewarding, enjoying the fruits of your labor…with a sprinkle of freedom on top! Cheers!
Awesome harvest !!! I will have to try making salsa verda, it looks sooo good!💚💛💚💛
Kids you can make JAM also with that stuff !!! It is so good to have in the winter time after a cold !!! Just use the jam or jelly recipe that you got and it is good on toast oatmeal grilled or baked chicken or roast beef or deer meat great on baked fish also !!!
It must feel so good to have all that food stock piled for the year! Great work, both of you. Have you two thought about rebuilding the root cellar at the new cabin up north? It looks like the ground there would be much better suited for it.
It would not be the first thing we built but it is on the project list 🙂
@@SimpleLivingAlaska - AWESOME! I can't wait :) Thanks for another great video
I was thinking the same. I wonder if they will bring the current high tunnel, or put up a new one. My guess is that a new one would be best, and another "someday" list might be a greenhouse.
@@brendag2891 - I'm betting a high tunnel and garden will be among the first major projects for sure :)
I find your cooking and canning videos so relaxing and very yummy. You are so good at what you do. So much hard work! Looks great. Blessings
I grew tomatillos for the first time this year! They made such a wonderful enchilada sauce, I'm amazed. They were purples but they never turned purple.
They turned yellow!
WOWZERS
