I can think of a zillion things to do with these, especially the orange, the blackberry, the nasturtium, the cherries, the anise, and and and and. so that now I’m on a roll! Thanks for the incentive. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hello again I also enjoy this video too! 😅😂🤣 The orange I’m in cinnamon rolls sound really good with the Orange Extract! Mmmmm 😋 🥰😘👩🏾🦲 I’m going to have to make that black cherry extract.
Heidi, i leave my projects on the countertop for the 1st week to remember to shake/stir them, too. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here but i cover mine with kitchen towels to keep the light out. As I type, I've got acv, orange vinegar, elderberry root tincture and a new ginger bug started. I LOVE doing this stuff! Be well.😊💕
Mama used the cheap stuff, so I did too, for many years. I made the mistake of reading the ingredients. At that time one of the things was coal tar! So I worked real vanilla into my food budget. Last fall I needed to buy some and it had fallen out of what I was willing to pay. Finding vanilla beans in our rural community that didn't require taking out a second mortgage was impossible. I don't know where they got them, but Wal Mart was selling 2 for $14.??. I bit the bullet and bought them. I started them in vodka about a month ago. Shaking every few days. Still doesn't look like much, but I took the lid off and smelled of it, not expecting anything but a whiff of alcohol. Oh...My!!!! If those cheap, dry, shriveled up beans do this good, I'm asking for vanilla beans for my birthday. This is so far beyond store bought real vanilla, it shouldn't even be called by the same name 💞
This is such an interesting video! I am just starting making my own extract. I have my first batch of vanilla going. Thank you for all the hard work you do and all the wonderful information you give! You’re awesome!
We ran out of vanilla, so used anise in our no bake cookies, it was delicious. I never thought of doing pineapple and I didn't know rubbing alcohol would take permanent marker off, thanks again!
I like the mint extract for a toothache..I bought some on clearance at the store and recently had a toothache...I put some on it and the pain was gone and was minty fresh...I grow alot of mint..so I'm going to try to make some😊Thank you for all the things you have tought me I've learned soo much from you😊
this will be something that I will start doing, I purchase flavorings for my daughter's smoothies, in my last trip to replace my supply of flavorings, they selections was bare bones as far as what was available, Thank You for sharing
I have only done vanilla extract, would love to try some of these. TFS Please do the black forest cake recipe, would love to try it, it looks delicious no wonder the family loves it. I want to try some Mother Earth products, living on a budget makes it difficult but need to sneak in a few items here and there. Thanks, blessings
Ha ha. Bet your husband knows he hit the jackpot with you. I'm learning some of your magic... I made some of your citrus peel vinegar, fermented veggies, and cider vinegar. I really love the citrus vinegar as a facial toner! I used some of my juniper berries to aid in fermentation.

Hello my favorite homestead teacher! Two seasons ago, we bought a bunch of Ranier and Bing cherries (organic of course), then water bath canned them. Sadly, after doing so, I discovered that the cooking drastically changed the taste of them, and I just don't care for them now. I'm trying to think of other good things to do with them. They have been canned in a very light syrup if that matters. I was thinking of pureeing them to use with my fermented drinks, but since I really don't bake goodies, I'm stumped for any other ideas. The extracts seem like a good use, but they are not dry obviously. Your thoughts for what to do with them other than drinks? Thanks!
@@RainCountryHomestead Yeah, ha ha, that to me is like you using good apple cider for vinegar! I'll stick with using it for the drinks then. Thanks luv. Keep on making great videos for those of us who need to know what you're teaching!
Heidi have you thought about making your own glycerin for extracts? I made blueberry, mandarin orange, cherry, almond, vanilla, lemon, lime. Oh. & cacao nib.
I have thought about it, it is a by product of soap making after all, but I bought the glycerin I have long before learning about that. I am actually going to switch to using the honey and wine combo. Recently tasted that one (it is over a month old now, just like this video) and it is my favorite
Hello Heidi… wonder if we can make extract with the frozen fruits… I buy frozen organic fruits … when you mentioned cherry you said the bitter cherry? Or the very black red cherry ? ..thank you
Not bitter, sour. I would not want to make a flavoring out of something that was bitter! haha! I have never used frozen myself but it is likely possible
Good Morning! Where do you get your clamp-top bottles? The ones that I find online seem to all be made in the same place in China, and cannot be guaranteed to be lead-free, and the reviews go on and on about broken, missing, and low-quality parts. I'm willing to spend a little extra for good bottles since I want a good edible product, just need to find them!
T Innerste you can sometimes get the bottles at Aldi with lemon aid. Etc. you can also get cheap 17oz from dollar tree if not in the store online, but you have to buy 24 at $1.00 apiece and shipping.
I might have missed it, but do you use glycerin made from animal fat or vegetable? Is there a difference in health or flavor between the two that you know about? Thank you for sharing ideas in how to use our extracts!
Ty! I've used extracts to flavor my hot tea. (Not a coffee person) I have a question for you off subject...I'm thinking of canning, but, it seems everything here rusts. An electric dehumidifier is not an option. As you live in rain country, is this an issue? If so, how do you work around it? Thanks!
@@sandimorreale3685 fyi the messures ard in liters and mililiters but the jars are exactly or just next to quart , pint and half pint sizes so you can follow ball canning recipes
Thank you VERRYY MUCH Heidi!!
Thank you ! I really enjoyed watching
I really liked your ideas. We garden.
Thank you for the information on how this is done and its beneficial in many ways:)

That cherry extract looks delicious, as does the orange, etc .... 😃 thank you, Heidi. 😊
Thank You !!! For all your videos. I think they would be great to flavor teas. Have a blessed day.
Sure love your video's!! Making your own extracts like this is a wonderful suggestion. Thanks so much.

The cherry is SO good! I used it in making a cherry vanilla apple fermented smoothie : ruclips.net/video/af6-Ynjv1vs/видео.html
@@RainCountryHomestead so rain I have to dry out the cherry 🍒 1st right ? With my presto dehydrator ? It makes sense 🤔 right ? 🥰😍👩🏾🦲
@@baldnproud It is usually best to dehydrate your items first though some can be used fresh when talking these kind of extracts

Pl do a video on making a chocolate extract
I have, please see second video link in description box

@@RainCountryHomestead thanks Heidi! Shabbat Shalom!!!
What is the shelf life for the chocolate extract?
All the extracts will have the same shelf life. Which in my opinion should be indefinite, especially if you are using alcohol in them

Not bitter, sour. I would not want to make a flavoring out of something that was bitter! haha! I have never used frozen myself but it is likely possible
How much does the flavor of the wine seep into the extract? Does it change the flavor?
It can a little but I find it a much better flavor than ones I have made with vodka
Do you ever use your extracts in candies? I'm thinking truffles, peppermint fudge, etc...
I have used in my homemade chocolate before
Do I need to refrigerate the extracts made with alcohol or are they shelf stable and for how long?
I never refrigerate any of my extracts no matter how I make them. They have all lasted for as long as I have had them put up, some for several years

This brand is also the same brand that makes Fido jars and in my personal opinion are the best, made in Italy: amzn.to/3bNzfbh
Thank you!
you can also buy them sold with certain brands of beer, but then youd have to do somethjng with all that beer
Hmmm, interesting.....
T Innerste you can sometimes get the bottles at Aldi with lemon aid. Etc. you can also get cheap 17oz from dollar tree if not in the store online, but you have to buy 24 at $1.00 apiece and shipping.
can i use them on unflavored gelatin?
I would think so
Never knew glycerin was eatable? I’ve made hand lotion with it!
🤜👍🤛♡♡♡
I might have missed it, but do you use glycerin made from animal fat or vegetable? Is there a difference in health or flavor between the two that you know about? Thank you for sharing ideas in how to use our extracts!

Rings will rust to a degree but not too bad. Mostly these are removed after canning anyway though.
