Hi Sweet Friends, Today I am sharing one of my all time favorite things to make when it comes to using up kitchen scraps...a bottomless cheese crock! When you keep one of these in your fridge, you always have something fun to serve when unexpected company stops by! Enjoy!! Love, Mary
Watched this video when first posted... finally found a thrift crock - have some cheese left from a family dinner appetizer tray... I am ready to go!! So exciting Mary! Whtlat a blessing you are to bring us this wisdom!!
Thank you for being a true Titus 2 woman - teaching by living!! God bless you sweet Mary!
I just found this crock for $5 and you're literally the only channel I found with what to do with this little crock
Where did you find it, if you don't mind my asking. I've been looking everywhere for one.
@@bugs181 yard sale page and thensoon after it broke i was a bit sad lol
@@bugs181 you can find them in fb market place or etsy but they're usually closer to $10-20
I am 53 and I also remember Mr. Gibbons Grape Nuts commercials. ❤️
Hey ..Mary , it's Moniee -Mon, I'm new .. thanks for the vedios, there very helpful 😇🙏
You are absolutely right about Eull Gibbons. He was indeed an advocate of grape nuts, as well as a quite interesting man.
Wonderful, Mary❤I have just re-watched this video and hope to make it today. I have found a few of the cheese crocks at thrift stores and then recently purchased two bags of cheese ends from a local deli. If Mr. Patient hasn’t enjoyed all of the cheese ends by now, I’ll use them for this recipe/method.
I recall school fundraisers that sold those cheese-filled crocks years ago😊.
Do you know how long we can expect the cheese to not mold before it is completely used?
Thanks again, my dear friend
❤katie
Thank you, I remember my mom and grandmother having those cheese crocks, but I can't remember if they made the cheese for it or if it was prefilled from the store. At any rate, I remember really liking that cheese. I need to see if I can find that old cheese crock at my parents' house. IIRC, it was a light grey with blue sploshes.
Love this!
Yes Mary, I’m 55 and do remember Yule Gibbons Grape Nuts Commercials. People teased that he ate pine cones and such. A man before his time. I’m loving the scraps series. Have you always been a scraps chef? Or is this a new thing?
I thought I was a scrap cook by using the leaves off my celery, lol. Most people don’t even use the leaves, but I learned that from my mom. I freeze my celery leaves if I don’t need them at the time. Perhaps this simple thing could get someone scrapping. Thanks Mary, I always feel good after watching your videos. Time for me to haul firewood in the snow. Now THATS A WORKOUT 🦋💜
Hi Tammy...LOL!!!...Yay!!...You remember Mr. Pine Cone Gibbons!! LOL!! God bless you for hauling firewood in the snow. It was in the 80s here today in central Texas! Oh what a chuckle I got when you said Scraps Chef!! Isn't that a classic!! I think I need to adopt that as my slogan!! LOL!! Yes - I was raised by parents who survived the 1930s Depression. My parents wasted nothing. My dad once saw me throw out a rubber band that was wrapped around the mail and all dirty. He looked on in horror and said..."for heaven's sake!! You throw out the best stuff!!" I learned to never waste anything!! My mother never threw out food - ever! Everything was eaten or put to some other use. Even the water that veggies were boiled in was either used as a base for soup or to water the garden! Thanks so much for being here. You are so kind and you're always so generous with your kind words in the comments!! Thank you SO much !! Love, Mary
Mary's Nest Mary, my mother NEVER TOSSED OUT POTATO WATER.. That was used to make gravy or soup base etc. thank you for the kind words. I can’t imagine temps in the 80’s this time of year but I’ve always lived in this same Northwest county in Washington State my intire life. I know nothing different. 😁🦋💜
Tammy Hanson - Oh Tammy!! I bet is SO beautiful up there!! Oh yes...potato water makes the best bread too!! Thanks so much for all you share!! Love, Mary😘❤️😘
Mary,
This is amazing! love the recipe and tips, more of these please!
love, S
PS:
got tips from Cooks Illustrated on How to Use Leftover Pickle Brine, made me think on you:
- Drizzle dill pickle juice over warm potatoes before making potato salad.
- Add pepperoncini juice to a Bloody Mary or a pan sauce.
- Instead of spritzing lemon juice on your steamed vegetables or your grilled fish or chicken, add a little of the liquid from pickled jalapeños.
Note: The vinegar in brine is slightly diluted by water pulled from the vegetables, so you can't substitute it one-for-one with vinegar or lemon juice. Also, some brines are extremely salty, so if your recipe calls for salt, withhold it and season to taste at the end.
Oh and now talking about cheese... nanna Shelton used to make the minestrone base by simmering cheese rinds in stock :)
Hi Sarah! Love the pickle brine tip!! Priceless. I am so glad you are here!!...I love reading your comments!! I will be sure to find more fun recipes like this!! Thanks so much for the encouragement!! Love you, Mary
I have finally found a talented cook whose interests are aligned with mine. That is, 'waste nothing' and 'you don't have to spend the fortune to eat well.' Thanks so much Mary.
Mary you are just full of surprises. I have never heard of anything like this. Thank you Sandy
Hi Sandy, LOL!!! I do come up with some crazy stuff...huh? This is so fun to make and keep on hand. And it's so tasty!! Love, Mary
Mary do you have a link for the replacement rings for those crocks? 💜💜💜💜💜you videos🤩
Oh Mary, I love this! Yes ma’am, I remember those cheese crocks which were sold in stores when I was young. ♥️ 🍃 I used to love that tart cheese. ♥️♥️Thanks for this idea. katie
Heritage Ways - Hi Katie... oh my goodness… Yes, wasn’t that cheese just delicious! I miss those crocks so much. But this is a lot of fun and a great way to make use of all those little bits and bobs of cheese in the fridge and get a similar tasting product to what we remember! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Thank you 👍nice sharing 👏👏
Glad you like it!!
How totally ingenious. I have my crock ready to begin, though I will use balsamic vinegar, sparingly, instead of wine. And I DO remember Euell Gibbons! I used to eat tree bark because of him, lol, and yes, he was a Grape Nuts spokesman.
Thanks so much for this one, Mary. I love cheese, we usually have lots of tidbits on hand, and now I can keep it fresh in a crock.
That's a nice idea. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!!
Yep, he did those Grape Nuts commercials!
I thought so!! Love, Mary
Recently found your channel. Going back and finding many new things to learn. "Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible." Best.Commercial.Ever.
Yes he was the Grape Nuts spokesperson for years.
This is brillant!
Hi Mical, So glad that you like this! It is one of my most favorite and easiest appetizers to serve! BTW - Do you enjoy making traditional foods? If so, I have a playlist of some of my videos titled "Mastering the Basics of Traditional Nutrient Dense Foods Cooking". It's a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home. You can watch it here: ruclips.net/p/PLkRuW3pBo2U3b4eu0QraZReKlGzA11h3y
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm so happy to help! And I’m so glad you’re here!! Love, Mary…PS - are you in our FB group? It's called Mary's Nest Modern Pioneers. Come join us! We have a lot of fun chatting about Traditional Foods.
Wow! Your knowledge constantly amazes me. One of my neighbors gave me a gift basket that included a cheese ball with port wine in it and I have some left. Would that be a nice start? Will have to look for a crock. Once in a while Sprouts has something called pub cheese in a similar container-probably plastic but haven’t felt it. Ha! Pretty sure I could score one at Spec’s.
Hi Joy, Oh my goodness!! That cheese ball with port will be a great start!! Start with the cheddar/cream cheese base and add the leftover cheese ball and a bit of some sort of wine, etc. and you'll be good to go!! Hmmm...Spec's...I wonder if they have them. That is such a good idea. They always talk about selling gourmet food (to go with all the booze!! LOL!!) Thanks so much for being here. Love reading your comments! Love, Mary
Mary's Nest I have cream cheese and also some cheddar so I can get started. As the port is a red wine, I suppose I should continue with red and not whites. I usually drink whites or rose altho I drink neither very often. Must confess my favorite is Prosecco. It goes with everything-even a hot soak in Epsom salts after a hard day working outside like today. Found the book you discuss on Thriftbooks.com and have ordered it. Thank you once again. So, so delighted to have found your channel.
@@joylouise5417 - Oh Joy!! What a delight you are!! Do not worry about what wine you add. That is the beauty of this - - - any wine will do! Even Prosecco!! Do not feel you have to follow any pattern. If you have a little white wine leftover, add it! If red, add it! If vermouth, add it! On and on!! Whatever you have on hand. I have added Marsala, Madeira, Champagne, etc. It all works!! That soak in epsom salts and a little Presecco sounds like heaven!! LOL!! Have a great night!! Love, Mary
FYI: Euell Gibbins 1911-1975 . What I remember is his quote "Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible.". In an interview years
later he said that was the dumbest thing he ever said and i regret having said it.'.
Course! Euell Gibbons! "Kinda reminds me of wild hickory nuts" Who could forget him, neh? : D
Could you use a food processor to mix the cheese?
Hi Amy, I think that would be fine. Love, Mary 🤗
Hi Mary! This looks like it is so much fun to make. Do you know how long it is safe in the fridge? Thank You for sharing.
Hi Willow, Because you add a bit of alcohol - that works as a preservative - it helps to extend the "shelf" life. It also begins to ferment to a certain extent - as in, it creates a "mother", which also extends it's like. To be honest with you, I always have mine going in my fridge and it has never gone bad or "off". It just ferments!!...and get's better with age as I add more bits of grated cheese and wine! But if you were worried, you could clean out your crock once a month and start with a new batch each time. Hope this offers some guidance. Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Thank You Mary.
@@willowcoulter8274 - You are so welcome!! Love, Mary
Hi Mary: Very nice way not waste cheese! If I make the cheese crock, do I store it in the fridge if it will be eaten in a few days. If not, do I freeze it? Will cheese be ok if it has been frozen or does the texture changes a bit? I have a few block of cream cheese frozen. Don’t know if the texture will be ok? If I bits and pieces of cheese, I should store it a crock in the freezer, right? Then I let it defrost and then I can make the cheese crock?
Thanks for clarifying! I really appreciate it.
Hi May, So glad you like this idea. I'll share what I do. I do not use any frozen cheese in my cheese crock. I think once you freeze cheese the texture can be off a bit. Unless maybe you grate it first and toss it with a bit of corn starch. However, that said, cream cheese that has been frozen should be fine. It seems to hold it's texture. Now - as to the actual cheese crock - - - no, once you make it, do not freeze it. Just pop it in your fridge. The wine, etc., works as an excellent preservative. And - over time, as the "Mother" develops, it actually become a bit of a "fermented" food. Ferments last a good while in the fridge. As time goes by just keep your bottomless perpetual cheese crock going - on and on and on. Add to it continually as you have a bit of leftover cheese and/or wine, etc. I have kept mine going for years!! And so far, so good. No spoilage, bad taste or odor. Now, that said, if you are worried about spoilage you can keep your cheese crock going in the fridge for about a month, then once it's close to being finished, you can rinse out your crock and start all over again. But I have never done that. I really haven't found it necessary - but I am a really fermented food gal!! LOL!! Let me know if you try this and how it goes! Love, Mary
I found one of these crocks that cheese spread was sold...I use to have one long ago but my husband accidentally dropped. I need to replace the rubber gasket but don't know how to measure. Do I measure from inside or outside diameter? And, is that what it is called? I looked on Amazon and I am at loss! Please direct me.❤
you should try the Zero Waste Challenge by cooking a dish and trying to avoid all waste packaging
Hi Donna, Wow!! Thanks for telling me about that. I will need to look into it!! Love, Mary
I think maybe my grandmother made something like this with a touch of grated horseradish. Does that sound right to you? I remember it was delicious!
Birthdaygirl23 - Oh yes! I definitely think horseradish would be wonderful! BTW - Do you enjoy making traditional foods? I have a playlist of my videos titled "Mastering the Basics of Traditional Nutrient Dense Foods Cooking". It's a series of 15 detailed videos that covers How to Make Bone Broth, Cultured Dairy, Ferments, Sourdough Starter (my foolproof stater), Sourdough Bread, and How to Soak and Sprout Grains to Make your own Sprouted Flour at Home. It’s listed on the main page of my RUclips channel “Mary’s Nest” (Sorry to not put a direct link but I don't think YT likes us to put links in comments. The playlist is on the the front of my main YT page.) Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm so happy to help! And I’m so glad you’re here!! Love, Mary…PS - Do you know about our FB group? It' called Mary's Nest Modern Pioneers. Come join us! We have a lot of fun chatting about Traditional Foods.
Mary's Nest I love your videos... I’ve been eating them up! I pulled out my neglected cast iron and made the roast chicken with garlic and lemons tonight, but without the lemons... heavenly! I’ve been making the bone broth with turkey and chicken and it’s fantastic. I love making rice with it, or, even better, soup! My next foray may be a vinegar, or possibly this cheese crock. I think they’d both be great to have on hand for summer entertaining, or even gifts. Thanks, Mary 💜
Birthdaygirl23 - Oh my goodness!! I am SO happy to hear about all this wonderful cooking you are doing!! You will love the cheese crock. It’s so much fun!! And it’s great for entertaining because all you have to do is pull it out of the fridge, surround it with some crackers and whatever fruit and veggies you have on hand and it’s a meal! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
Mary, I absolutely love the idea of the bottomless cheese crock. I always have little bits of cheese left. You added olive oil at the beginning, is the oil necessary, and if so, could I use another oil instead? Do I need to add olive oil after adding more cheese and wine? Also, you started with the addition of cream cheese, do I add more cream cheese later. I know I'm probably making this more difficult than it needs to be. LOL Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.
Mary, some of your videos have 5 ads. 😮
Blame RUclips for that. I think the creator can choose where the commercials are inserted or it can be done automatically by YT.
Thank you for sharing, love the video, new subscriber here, hoping we can support each other!
Welcome!! So glad you are here!! And glad you like the video!! Love, Mary
Can I start this in a food processor? Or will that ruin it
Tracy sexyjuicylimemuffin - Hi Tracy, A food processor would work great!! It would certainly make the job easier. I gave my arm a workout!! LOL!! Love, Mary❤️😘❤️
