Living off Wild Food (Apples and Pears)

- In this series we're going to share how we harvest and preserve homegrown and wild food to feed ourselves mostly from our gardens and the woods - what we lovingly call "dealing with the abundance". This week we're foraging wild apples and pears and canning them for Winter!

I grow, cook, and preserve a lot, but you all take it to the next level. I admire you guys so much and you inspire me every day!
Vanilla is actually fairly easy to grow. Im not sure where youre at, but if youre not in a tropical locale, you just move it inside when the temps are too cold. I have a huge vanilla orchid vine on one of my oaks, and another tahitian vanilla orchid growing in a pot.
They're in canada I think.
@@silviamagdathey're outside of Pittsburg, PA :)
Just wondering - Can I grow the Tahitian vanilla orchid In a pot on a balcony
@@jaynedoe5830 definitely! They do need indirect sun. I've seen some grow them in bathrooms with south windows.
@jaynedoe5830 mine is in a pot, and if you live in a zone that is not sub-tropical or tropical, you'll want to stick to a pot. You have to be able to move it inside during the winter. Orchids thrive in tropical locations.
My town has a tool library, which is such an amazing resource. In addition to gardening tools (electric mowers!) and power tools (so many!), there are kitchen gadgets--stock pot and accessories for canning, dehydrator, etc. There's a sliding scale membership fee. I've saved so much money renting tools and kitchen gadgets instead of buying. Every town needs a tool library!
We actually have one in Pittsburgh as well. We we're just saying yesterday how they need to get a cider press :)
That sounds amazing! A school I worked at in our small town had a pretty substantial agricultural course and had a large canning facility that they would open up to townsfolk during the summers. You had to bring your own ingredients, cans, glass jars, and lids, but the equipment/machinery and cookers were free to use.
@@dostagirl9551 I would love that! I've yet to pressure can anything. I want someone to hold my hand through the process. 😂
I've been trying to get my local library to consider a tool library. They do have a library of things, but for some reason they've limited it to recreational stuff like fishing poles and board games.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 I wonder if there are some restrictions, particularly if there is federal funding? My tool library doesn't have gas powered tools, because it would require additional insurance and other "hazard" designations. Good luck!
You have decovered why old folks (like me👵) say, "that used to taste better". Unlike today when sweets (and nearly everything edible) are in abundance year round, when had to wait for the correct season to enjoy the taste of the harvest.
I just met the love of my life about a year ago and she has become interested in foraging and prepping preserved food so this is just a glimpse into my future with her
That's so cool! I forage with my husband as well. I love it.
Open- by splitting down the middle- those vanilla beans and scrape the seeds out, throw all into simmer pot will give you maximum vanilla flavor great video thanks!,❤
Some people on YT soak the split vanilla beans in liquor for several months, take them out and then use them again to flavor a new batch! So there must be a great deal of flavor in vanilla beans.
Yum! I love poached pears. Canning them seems like such a treat! I hope you enjoy all your goodies and hard work this winter.
This is the feel good video of the day! Thank you for sharing 💗
The scraps can also be cooked, puréed and pressed through a sieve as appme sauce or reduced further to applebutter
Yup, or add some water, cook them again, press again, for a rather bland juice to which you can add spices and some sweetener and can for a nice drink.
I'm spending the day volunteering at the apple press station for a local harvest celebration! I'd love to see a video on your Apple scrap vinegar as I'd love to utilize the scraps from today's pressing! Love the videos ❤️🔥🍎
That was so many apples
yum! I loved this video. it brought a cozy home feeling.
This is such a beautiful ode to fall and honoring what it brings with it!
What a lovely peaceful video.
Total admiration!
Its a really good pear and apple year as well for me, While doing a roof, i spotted a pear tree leaning over the fence on neighboring house that was superladen with fruit and this video really gave me an good idea wht to do with the abundance.😊 newer preserved pears before so this really gave me some ideas🙌
Thanks so much for sharing this...God bless!
You can put vanilla bean pods in hard liquor and it makes vanilla extract! And you can use the same pod more than once I believe
You are a true Appalachian woman ❤!!!!!
I think making cookies from blended apple is good
The music is significantly better than the repetitive harmonica and guitar in my opinion (not that the H and G was bad, but I have been binging your videos and the piano is a welcome change :)
What do you use the pear peelings for? Can you also make a vinegar out of these or perhaps mixed with the apple cores etc.,? Really impressed with the food harvesting you do.
Great video! I'm interested to hear more about the black walnut liqueur
It's called nocino. I think we shared a short about it a couple years back
Do u guys have a vid on how to can? I want to do that to preserve beans sence i prefer my cooked beans over caned ones. And idk where to start.
Not yet, but we just started sharing these longer videos and can do one soon
I saw ur black walnut tiktok, how do crack the walnuts and harvest the meat?
I wonder if you could make apple sugar. Or apple syrup.
A pint a week?? How??
I'm not understanding why you would freeze apple cider that you had already waterbathed.
I'm sure they didn't, just froze some and pasteurise some
We don't freeze the jars that we can. Last year we didn't can them
Not to be disrespectful, but, after hearing about the other RUclips girl who died, because she wasn’t eating properly, I’m nervous about these videos and the people doing them!
Nervous about what?
You should try dumpster diving
