Hi, I work as a cook, if you add some water to your onions on the stove and cover it, cooking/steaming them until transparent or almost, then finish on medium/low heat to caramelize. It’s a big time saver and won’t sacrifice flavor.
A tip i learned:
If you have to scrub a lot of produce or eggs, wear a pair of exfoliating gloves used just for this purpose. Works like a charm!
Excellent tip. One thing I do appreciate about home cooks is the freedom to not have to wear gloves or have plain fingernails. As a professional chef I would love to keep my nails pretty but ServSafe values safety over looks. Last thing i need to do is accidently get a piece of nail or nailpolish falls off in a dish that I am cooking or canning.
Here's a few tips! I have learned over the years that the best way to roast peppers is on the grill. Also key is not over- roasting them or you will use a lot of the meat of the pepper. I prefer to keep them whole and chop them if/when I need them. I learned several years ago that once roasted, put the peppers on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and put them in the freezer. Once frozen, take them off the cookie sheet and put them in a gallon sized freezer bag. I do this all season as peppers become ready. When I'm ready to use them, i just pull them out of the freezer and thaw (or you can run them under water if you're in a hurry) and the skins slip right off and the seeds are easily removed. Poblanos, Anaheims and Big Jim are my favorite peppers to grow and eat!
I love seeing you just reach in and grab your veggies off the plant. You see so many sights/videos that insist you wear gloves, “gently” pluck the fruit of the plant off. I just turned 70 today and did gardening and canning for years and never was “gentle” with my plants. Every year I’d can probably over 300 jars of harvest and never had one jar complain how rough I was…lol. Thanks for being real. Love your channel.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday 🎉🎉
Hello Becky. Hello Acre Friends. Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone. Hope y’all have a blessed and beautiful weekend. ❤❤❤.
It's Labor Day!
@@lindaroberts4456thank you. I’m losing my mind. Lol. It was all the groceries I got today. Can’t get over that total. 😂😂😂
@@Cookingwithapril
I need to place a small order and keep forgetting. I was about to place it when I started watching Becky then forgot about it. Better get that done. They'll probably be out of everything! 😂
@@Lucinda_Jacksonso true. I found the butter I love to use on sale. Went to get it when I got off work last night and eneded up spending $120. I barely bought anything. Good luck with your small order.
Hello friend! Thank you, happy labor day weekend to yo as well! Blessings!
Raised as a migrant worker as a family of 10, you have brought so.many memories of preserving food that was actually survival food for the rest of the year when we arrived home. Bless you
Josh is a great husband, always ready to help. You're a good match.
Come on 700K! 🎉🎉🎉 You have grown an amazing channel. Definitely with tons of hard work in front of and behind the camera. You should take a minute and be extremely proud of all you have accomplished. Well done Girl!!!
@@melissagammon9420 they made it!
The purple stripes on your banana peppers mean they are ready to pick😊
@christineeckhold6341 I have wondered this every season:)! Thank you😁
Banana.yellow not purple
Somebody said it means they're lacking potassium 👇🏻
It doesn't matter if it is a man or a women when one or both have a real calling or gifting, the other one has to be willing to help. You and Josh are wonderful !
Im from the Netherlands and watch your every single video. Made me regret giving up my garden 10 years ago so now have a new one 150 aquare meters.
❤Thank you Becky and Josh for all inspiration.
😅😮😅
hi becky, as a senior woman who knows more than i did when your age, please think about wearing shoes with good arch support. an upturned toe on sneakers helps prevent trips. currently recovering from a partial knee replacement and wish someone had given me this advice when i was younger. get the most comfortable fit you can find. in sw florida with have a store that specializes in "orthopedic" shoes and with the help of a good salesperson you can get sandals too that protect knees, etc. love your work ethic and love of growing and cooking. hugs and love!
100% agree and wonder if I would have the foot pain I have now if I had worn berkies instead of slippers in the kitchen when I did all day cooking event.
The purple means they need potassium. Mine were turning purple too and I found out it means the plant needs potassium.❤
I love how you and Josh support each other along your endeavors!
Love the squeaky sound of peppers being picked and washed. Your 2nd year garden on your acreage is FAB. Love that your still using your one legless colander. Josh !!! Quick work when you know what your doing. Great job you 2!
@@whisperingpines2469 hi Jill!!!!
@@whisperingpines2469 i was going to say that, but I thought I was just being quirky!
It amazes me each year at the abundance you gather from your gorgeous garden. As a 72, almost 73 year old who grew up in GA on a farm, I love watching your videos.
How funny. I’m sitting here in small town Georgia watching Becky’s video. I love her videos too.
@@SusanLedford-14 we live in S Tx now. Love Becky.
Your video's just bring a sense of calm after a really busy day! Thanks for posting!
I just love the way you two work together and you can tell it’s not about ego it’s about getting the work done and there seems to be genuine kindness for each other
The last few years I have made it my mission to preserve at least one thing every day during the garden harvest season. It is amazing how it all adds up over six weeks.
I have a much smaller garden for this retired lady. I preserve where I can but have committed to eating at least one item from my garden at each meal. Nothing gets wasted here either.
What a great idea!
Josh is an awesome helper. You need to get him to build you a large table to put in the garden to process all that harvest there and not mess up your beautiful patio.
Wow! Those peppers are huge! Your garden is really producing. It must be a hectic time of year for you and Josh trying to keep up with all the produce you are growing. What a blessing. Enjoy your videos so much. 😊
So close to 700k subs !! Congrats Becky!! You deserve it . 🎉
I love watching your harvest videos Becky. All your hard work planting, fertilizing, watering, etc. now pays off with the fruits of your labor! Such a beautiful garden! Love it! 😎🌻🌶🍅🌽
Bekky idk if youre aware but the onion tops have many uses, i looked it up lol cause it was a lot to throw out.
1. Salads: Chop the onion greens and add them to salads for a mild onion flavor and a pop of color.
2. Garnish: Use them as a garnish for soups, stews, casseroles, and baked dishes. They add a fresh, bright flavor and a bit of crunch.
3. Stir-Fries: Add chopped onion greens to stir-fries for a fresh, oniony flavor that complements many vegetables and proteins.
4. Omelettes and Scrambles: Mix them into omelettes, frittatas, or scrambled eggs for a subtle onion taste.
5. Herb Butters and Cream Cheeses: Blend them into herb butter or cream cheese spreads for a flavorful twist.
6. Soups and Broths: Use them in soups and broths for added flavor. They can be used similarly to leeks or scallions.
7. Sautéed or Grilled: Sauté or grill them as a side dish, either on their own or with other vegetables.
8. Pesto or Salsa Verde: Incorporate them into pesto or salsa verde for a unique twist on traditional recipes.
9. Pickling: You can pickle onion tops along with the bulbs for a tangy, crunchy condiment.
I am sure she knows. She made once onion top pesto. But i think she's throwing them away because she has so much.
Hi there! I carmelize onions in crock pot overnite. Fill it up, add 1/2 cup water and turn it on. Low i think is what i did. Reduced and carmelized in am. Give it a try. 😁
I do the same but no water, just butter or oil. Because it’s always better with a little fat! 😁 I let them cook 12-15 hours and, voilà, done! Also, I use my food processor to slice the onions: I do not have the patience to do this manually (either with a knife or a mandoline)
I am amazed at watching how you can cut that many onions and not be a teary red eyed mess like I would be. I'm also amazed that your skill and knowledge is so wide and varied. Gardening to baking to food preservation to party prep. I'm guessing because your mother has taught you alot of what you know.
Some days I watch Becky and feel so accomplished after completing a big project like this, not like I did any of it but i feel like I was taught so much. I truly appreciate her generous nature in sharing her wealth of knowledge. Thank you.
Thank you Josh for all your help!! Thank you for letting me be your friend Learning all your tricks of cooking
Hi Becky and Josh and Acre homestead, thanks for giving us something to watch, and thanks Josh for helping 🙏
Watching this is the perfect way to relax while my toddler (hopefully) naps! ❤️
When I lived in Arizona we used Bacas green chilies (I believe they are Anaheim green chili peppers) they are found in the frozen food aisle. When we moved away I couldn't find them so I decided to freeze my own. I didn't know that you're supposed to wear gloves to process them. I had to sleep with my hand in ice water for 3 nights. I learned the hard way ... Always wear gloves when processing hot peppers. Glad to see you wearing gloves Becky!
What a coincidence! I pickled onions before the family got up this morning. I canned cherry pie filling last evening. Those were sooo pretty in the jar.
Becky, your garden is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen!!! You astound me with all the incredible things you do. You also motivate me to do things I never thought I would do!! Thank you so much for all the things you've taught me!!! 😊❤
Hi Becky I was looking forward to a new video,I watch your videos with my oldest daughter and we really enjoy every second.
Thank you so much for uploading!
Oh thank you!
Hi Becky you don’t need to cut out the flower core they will cook up the very same
Agree! I always wonder why she does this. They taste no different to me than a green onion. Oh well!
Samesees lol
All those onions ! How are you not crying your eyes out?
You inspired me to try some things that I thought I couldn't do.I am now making homemade bread and jam. My husband is very thankful. Keep up the good work.
I have found that soaking leeks works well for cleaning them. They tend to float and the dirt and sand falls to the bottom of the bowl.
Happy Saturday Becky! Hope you guys are having a good weekend!!🥰
I enjoy watching your videos. I watch on my tv instead of my cell phone.
Congratulations on a successful garden season.
Oh! She's soooo close now! ❤
It’s like sitting at Becky’s counter.
I love when Becky asked Josh if he had a little more time to work on the onions? His response, "Ah.... Probably." Us women know what that mean, ....(Not really.).. but, " Yes Dear.".... Love it!
FYI - Caramelized onions freeze well in the smaller souper cube trays 😊
Becky, you have not only green thumbs, but your whole hand !! Your garden is fabulous ! 😃
That’s cute
A lot of the Tex Mex restaurants in our area use Anaheim peppers for chili rellenos. Since I’ve been watching you, I have adopted the habit of chopping up onions and peppers and putting them in my freezer to pull out as needed and it’s wonderful for keeping them from going bad, so thank you for that great tip!
I was one of the first! I'm not sure why that makes me feel so special, but it does! So I am going with it!
Hahaha. It’s cause if we don’t get here fast enough we won’t see that Heart ❤ from Becky.
First for what? 🤔
Landing on the moon? Discovering the eighth wonder of the world?
I rushed to my phone to comment hoping I was close to one of the first... I'm 52 mins late and number 6622....lol... so you're not the only one 😂
@@Heidishereandtheresome people race to try and be the first commenter on a video…😂🙄 some of us have actual lives to live and don’t have time to worry about it.
I don’t understand the I’m first either but I’m happy you enjoy it.
Becky I always wait for your video, you are so consistent I love your channel. I learn so much from you thank you 💗💗
My mom would harvest zucchini when it was very small, and we would use them to dip into our dips. Small veg is so good with tziki, hummus, babaganoosh, and such. Mom was employed as child labor back in the day. She would string the blue lake pole beans. I can highly recommend them. I miss her so much.😊 You and your family are amazing. Working together in a healthy way is so important for our survival. I remember snapping green beans for grandma to can in her farmhouse kitchen. Literally a farm house with a wood burning stove. She also had a screened in porch with her very old washer and a wringer as well as a clothes line. She would tell me to stay away from the wringer as it was very dangerous. This was in Springfield Oregon. Mom talked about sleeping on the porch when it was hot. If you don't want to heat the house, you can roast the peppers and other veg on the BBQ. I'm sure you know this as I'm preaching to the choir. Blessings to you all.
God bless you! 🙏 What wonderful memories 😊 I can't attest to Blue Lake pole beans, but I know that Blue Lake Bush bean is a great variety! That's what we grow 😁
I like it when you show us you feeding your trimmings to your hens!❤
As a 73 yr old in GA..I long coming along on your adventures. Thank you!!
Hi Becky! I am watching this while making garlic pucks as my homegrown marina simmers. Thanks for keeping company down here in Veneta, Oregon.
Glad you like them!
You’re one of the most wholesome people I have ever seen ❤️
I just love how you and your husband work together as a team. Nuff blessings👍❤❤
So every time you open with Good Morning Friend….I feel embraced and absolutely love watching your videos. Plus…I live next to a Winco for the first time in my life and I can tell you that the celebrities and wealth that frequent this store is a hidden secret. Ou daughters come from Los Angeles and always shop and return with amazing goods!
Hi Becky, your husband is a very good assistant in all of your projects. You truly have the willpower to do anything you put your mind to. I enjoy everyone of your videos.
I would be one happy camper if I could have a garden like yours! It is so awesome. The veggies and flowers you are able to grow is just unbelievable. Enjoyed watching the process of the onions. Thanks Becky, for sharing your day!!
A number of people planted according to the name and picture on the seed package but actually grew something different this year.
Yeah, I thought I had sweet banana peppers, but grew hot ones instead . . . which I found out after I gave one to my friend's kid to eat. Whoops!
I love when you do your harvesting video's enjoy them so much ! Those onions are going to be so amazing in different recipes and dishes . Will be watching for other videos !
Love it, Becky! What a beautiful harvest 😊❤
YAY Becky's here!!❤
It's official, I have veggie garden envy!!! Love the fact Josh is the one likely cry with topping n tailing all those onions lol 😂❤
I love that cookbook stand. It is perfect! Aaand of course, Congratulations on hitting the 700k subscribers!
Something you can do with poblanos is “espagueti verde” it’s so good one of my favorite sides or you can add some chicken on top for a full meal.❤❤
If you like more canning recipes you may like to get a Mennonite and Amish canning recipe book. As a Mennonite we pick the zucchini blooming and freeze dry and use in soups and pasta sauce and we would bread the zucchini blooming and deep fried or baked my dad would make homemade pancakes mix and add the zucchini blooming in the middle and add more pancakes mix and fry pancakes with zucchini blooming. Did you know that you can pick the raspberries leaves and freeze dry the leaves to make homemade tea that will help with cramps. Every summer my mennonite and English grandmas will go pick the real berries leaves off the raspberries brush and wash the leaves then laying out to dry then place the dry raspberries leaves in canning jars to make homemade raspberries tea when us girls had cramps
You are amazing , working so hard and happy to preserve everything, I love the expressions on your face when something taste good or is a surprise , nothing goes to waste .
Becky, I put onion peel, celery tops and carrots in my stock. I follow your lead and make bone broth packets in zip lock bags in the freezer. I add some peppercorns, bay leaves, rosemary, thyme and a couple of chicken feet to each bag. Then when I have a couple of chicken carcasses I toss it all in my turkey roaster and let it simmer for a day then strain and can it up.
Don’t you cry when you peel and cut onions? Joy of onions. I enjoy your videos!
Thank you Josh & Becky!!! Have an awesome day!!
Such a beautiful harvest! I love how you process every part that you can. Your new roaster is stunning 😍 and those onions caramelized on every burner on your stove 😂 You and Josh both work so hard. It's such a blessing you have one another.
I love the waxy sound when you pick the peppers! Absolutely beautiful garden! 💗🦋🥰🙏👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Becky and Josh. I wanted to give you another option for roasting Anaheim Peppers. I lived in New Mexico for 25 years and in Hatch NM (famous for chilies) they roast theirs on an open flame and they are incredible. So.... what you can do is use your BBQ and that will add a wonderful flavor. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. 😊
New Mexican here! Yes, roast on the grill, let sweat, and you can use oil on your hands to protect from the burning. I like to peel my roasted peppers under running water, especially if I am getting the seeds out. These look so good!
You can enjoy the flowers from the onions as an antibiotic tincture. ❤😊
Becky I learn so much from you ! THANKYOU for explaining each step with the flowering onion etc it’s just fantastic when your a newbie to gardening like me
Xxxx
Becky I am hoping that your videos might inspire many wives, homemakers and aspiring amazing home cooks even those who might enjoy entertaining friends and family in the home. I think that you are a real gem 💎.
Banana peppers can turn purple for a number of reasons, including:
Maturity
Purple streaks can appear on green or yellow banana peppers when they are mature and ready to be picked.
Temperature fluctuations
Dramatic changes in temperature, such as from 90°F to 50°F, can cause peppers to change color. The part of the pepper that is exposed to the cold will turn a blackish purple, while the part that is kept warm will remain green.
Heat and solar radiation
High levels of heat and solar radiation can cause purple streaks to develop on banana peppers.
Other stresses
Banana peppers can develop purple streaks in response to other stresses.
I never cut the inside of the onion out like you are doing and I have not had any trouble using that part. It is always great to have help. My three daughters always helped growing up and thee of my grandsons always help too. It is so nice. I always enjoy the company.
What a wonderful harvest!! I learned from one of my Hispanic neighbors how to roast those peppers and then trap the heat in a paper bag. The skins and seeds come away from peppers so easily.
Can't wait for the next video ❤🙏🫶 Thank you, Josh, for all your help!! ❤🙏🫶
Hi Becky, Interstitial Cystitis sister here. I just recently found your channel and while I don’t garden due to a wicked case of black thumb, I throughly enjoy your channel!! ❤
@@Debo_OG I also have Interstitial Cystitis and am currently suffering from a flair up right now. Gentle hugs!
@@cathy.a.thomasugh, I’m so sorry! I hope you find some comfort and the flare calms down! ❤
Im so inspired by your channel and all you do!! Thank you for being here and bringing all of us along ❤
Congratulations!! You've hit 700K subscribers!!
I don't know how Becky slices all those onions without crying. I am a bit jealous I need to put on my swim goggles and nose plugs just to slice 1-2 of them.
I enjoy your videos and i learn sonething new with just about every one! Gets me excited to do my own preservation this year from local farmers!
I've seen a library against a big wall with a cosy chair in a dining room and it looked so cosy and beautiful.
Good to see you Becky
Thank you for your inspiration. I went to the Farmers market yesterday and was able to preserve corn, snap peas, onions, and peppers. I still have garlic, carrots and celery. I was able to find the thinly sliced beef and prepared Philly steak and fajitas for the freezer. I would have never done this until I watched you work hard to preserve food several ways. I wish you and your family a safe and happy hoiday.
Love your videos ! I’m 68 and use to garden but now not so much ! I get my gardening fix from you ! Blessing❤
Something to remember is that when you put roasted chile peppers in the freezer, the longer they are in there the hotter they will get. I do full boxes (about 25 pounds) of Hatch Chiles just about every year. Some canned, some made into a sauce, and some in the freezer.
I also like to dehydrate caramelized onion. So good!
Watching you is like watching the eveready bunny cook. You are amazing!
Becky this message is for Josh , I watch Mrs Cog Hill Farm, they have Bee’s , they have a Bee keeper that checks their hives , it was a great informational video because the Bee keeper gives a lot of great advice, one of the hives was attacked by wax moths , she talked about that ….they put the frames in with the chickens the next , the chickens cleaned them up , than the Beekeeper was going to sanitize them .
The video with the chicken clean up was on Cog Hill Farm , I hope this post made sense 😝
They also sell their honey on the Cog Hill Farms Website
Oh, Becky! Your time management skills are off-the-chart incredible. You do not seem to waste a second. You're amazing to watch...and I have learned so much by watching you. Thank you.
Hello everyone. What a beautiful harvest. You inspire me to keep growing and despise not Small beginnings. Keep up the good work both of you
Hi Becky and friends! I just pulled out my zucchini today and harvested some shishito peppers. Happy harvest!
Great harvest Becky.
When you picked up the leaks and I glanced up at the screen I thought you had a handful lol of Q-tips.
You and Josh complement each other perfectly. I love your videos because they are so honest and open. Blessings to you and your family.
What a lovely video-harvest- you and Josh do such a wonderful job- yay for you! Inspiring
Been with you since your first garden...you certainly have earned your success! Congratulations!
So excited for this vlog. You bring so much joy and new ideas to my life! Thank you for sharing ❤
Happy Labor Day!😊 My husband and I bought a roasting oven about 15 years ago at the big box store where he works. I paid $10 for it and have used it and used it and it’s still going strong. Love it. However, it’s not nearly as beautiful as yours but it does the trick.❤🎉
Hi Becky! I just love watching your videos; they are so comforting to me! I watched a lot of the food network growing up with my mom and your channel is even better! My oven has been dead since Feb this year, and watching your cooking videos has filled that loss for me. We finally are getting a new oven this week after saving up for 6 long months! I can't wait to cook and bake along with you now! :)
Almost 700k! 🎉 so excited for you! You worked so hard for this ❤
With the Anehiem and poblano peppers, you could make a a chili rellenos casserole for a freezer meal. My favorite is Denver Green chilie, which is eaten in a bowl, smothered over bean burritos or enchiladas, and even eggs. I wish that I had that chili harvest. My favorite thing to grow!
Love seeing you and your husband working together❤
