Oh my goodness, my grandma, use to make jigs dinner. It was delicious. We went to Newfoundland once when I was ten years old. Then my grandma would come to visit us in Scarborough, Ontario. Then she would make peas pudding and all kinds of Newfoundland food.
Oh my Marie, we are so glad you enjoyed our video and recipe, it is always nice to bring back fond memories of yesteryear. I always cook for our boys and grandkids Jiggs Dinner when we visit them, I hope our grandkids remember it like you. Stay safe and enjoy our channel to the fullest. We have over 300+ recipes and videos and post a NEW one every Sunday. :) Bonita
As a native of Louisiana having enjoyed Southern, Cajun and Creole cooking my entire life, it is interesting and motivating to see cooking techniques different from those with which I am so familiar. This looks delicious and I will attempt it one day. Thank you for sharing!
That is wonderful, thank you so much for sharing your story with us and I'm glad you are going to attempt our recipe. I love cajun and creole meals, have a lovely day. :) Bonita
Any traditional recipe that I'm looking to make I always look up Bonita's kitchen first, thanks for helping us Newfoundlanders cook the meals that we grew up on. You should think about doing a cookbook, I would buy it.
Thanks Violet, I do appreciate your kind words, I am in the middle of making a cookbook. I haven't sat a date yet on its release but I will post it a few months before to let everyone know. My website is bonitaskitchen.com and on Facebook bonita's kitchen. Thanks again Bonita
I hope you realize that you just destroyed any hope of anything I eat for the next week being the least bit satisfying after watching what you have just created! When I was in high school (in the 70`s) my best friend was from Newfoundland, his mother was right off of the rock Newfoundland original as good as it gets. My friend was the last of 15 big boys and his mom never quite mastered cooking small portions, that was a real win for me because she would just drag me in the door and feed me. I absolutely adored that lady and by extension any Newfoundland lady with an apron on just warms my heart.
rheniformer that is so sweet of you, I do agree it is very hard to cook for a small group of people because being from Newfoundland I only know how to cook for a crew. I'm so glad you shared this beautiful story with me and I hope you continue viewing my channel. I have a website www.bonitaskitchen.com and a newly released cookbook on Amazon the link is www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook just in case you would like to make some of these delicious Traditional Newfoundland recipes. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you once again. Bonita
My Oh My!!! That looks like a heck of a lot of work!!! I think that only a person that truly loves to cook would attempt this meal so I salute you Bonita. Great job!!! Raymond must be so proud and well fed!!! Thanks...Peace!!! Bill
Jiggs Dinner is our traditional meal here in Newfoundland and Labrador, years ago our parents would make this one every Sunday for lunch and at supper time we would have Cold Plates, made up of cold salads and cold cuts, sometimes left over roast or salted beef. ruclips.net/video/cgoEFpyytME/видео.html thats the link if you wish to check it out. Thank you Bill for stopping by. :) Bonita
My family was introduced to a great version of Jiggs dinner many years ago in Cape Breton. A lovely lady who was my unofficial gran showed my Dad how to make it. He would make it every so often. Always a big Sunday favorite.
Sandra Nelson oh my that is so wonderful and your dad must have lovely that, Jiggs dinner is mostly made here in Newfoundland Sunday's and special occasions. I love cooking it for a big crowd not just for two, the steps looks like it's a lot but to me is one of the easiest meals to prepare for a big family or gathering. Thank you for your message and for stopping by. Bonita
I just love to watch these to relax, Absolutely love your accent. I really appreciate that you make everything so easy by explaining your timing and all steps.
You are so sweet and thank you for leaving a beautiful message, and compliment. We have over 260 videos and recipes posted here and to our website for you to enjoy. Plus we post a NEW one every Sunday. :) Bonita
You are Newfoundland's Julia Child. Thank you so much for all your work. These videos are GREAT and so helpful for use who have been away and forget when to put the potatoes on. lol You should do a video for ALTERNATIVES. * Can't get salt beef in Florida, so I use corned beef and add extra salt in the pot. * I make mustard pickles from Chipped Sweet Pickles and mustard. * Only recently realized Mount Scio Savory is just winter savory. I order mine on Amazon and it's amazing! * etc.... Of course, when I get the courage, I am going to try your pickles and salt beef and hardtack recipes.
Thank you Ron for stopping by and for the lovely compliment. I will keep you suggestion in mind for sure, Most of my video thats more resent I do say if you can't find one of the ingredients replace it with something you have already. When we visited Florida last year I'm sure I seen summer savoury at Public's also I found salt pork for frying scrunches. But for sure you can by it online and through Mount Sclo Savoury they ship anywhere. The hard tack recipe is a quick and easy one and you can make yourself some Fish and Brewis for Christmas Eve. Thank you once again for your message and have a Merry Christmas and stay safe. Bonita
Just how I love it and remember it as a child. I always tried to make sure my children knew this meal. Also love fish n bruise with scrunchions. Can’t be beat. Now if I knew how to properly prepare cod tongues 💥💥💥 the tongues we got as kids were huge. No more than one or two in a pan. Now sadly they’re tiny wee things. Love your channel ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for keeping our recipes alive Bonita ❤️🤗
Bonita, Thank you SO, SO much for the recipes for jiggs dinner and peas pudding. I will be trying out these recipes probably next week. Looking forward to a great day cooking and enjoying a delicious sounding meal. Will likely share it with my neighbors from downstairs. He's from N.F.LD. Again, thank you.
thank you so much Bonita!! i have been missing a proper Jig's dinner being far away from home, and i really appreciate how you did the step by step for me :) looks some good!
You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and enjoying our video, jiggs dinner is a lovely meal and very filling, thats what I found when living away you can't get all the ingredients to make a true jiggs dinner or boiled dinner. Thank you for your message and have a lovely day. :) Bonita
1LitreofCola that is wonderful I'm glad you enjoyed it, now you are going to have to make it for yourself. Thank you for visiting Bonita's kitchen and your comment. Please take the time to subscribe and each time we post a new video we will send you a notification letting you know. Thanks Bonita
My wife and I cooked our first Jiggs Dinner watching your video, and it was just like my mother and my nan make. I always kicked myself for not learning more of the traditional recipes when I was home, and your website and cookbook are about as close as I'm going to get to a copy of nan's old index card recipe box. Thank you.
Oh my thank you so much for making and enjoying our recipe and I'm so glad to help, you mom would be so proud of you for just keeping her cultural foods alive. I'm sorry for the late responds I just seen your message and sometime our messages just gets pushed down the list. We started Bonita's Kitchen 5 years ago for this reason to help keep our traditional foods alive for anyone that is looking to make a little taste of home. Enjoy and you can visit our website for over 200 + recipes and video www.bonitaskitchen.com :) Bonita
Oh my that is wonderful, I remember my first time away from home at Christmas Time and it was very lonely. I can remember my Dad sending me Veggies from his garden to cheer me up. I'm glad you found our video for Jiggs Dinner, you will do amazing. Enjoy to the fullest and Merry Christmas. :) Bonita
That is so lovely of you to have watched our video all the ways through and noticed the end result and it is indeed a lovely hearty meal. So much flavour and then its nap time after because there is so much food. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a message. :) Enjoy Bonita
Aww! That is so wonderful, I so glad you got to taste this recipe before and now you can make it yourself. This is a wonderful family meal and makes for tasty leftover meals. Enjoy and thank you for leaving a message. Bonita
I have lived in Manitoba all my life, so have never heard of a Jiggs dinner. It looks lovely and is a lot of work. It could be a great Christmas family dinner! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Isca S: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Jiggs Dinner is one of the easiest meal to make, I've been making this meal for many years and feel that when I'm cooking for a crowd this is the meal I would make. Thanks again for your message and enjoy. Bonita
Good video. Our local grocer just started stocking Chalkers' salt beef and pork which is done in NL. Best purchase they ever made and considerably cheaper than the other brands. Once you get to know how to regulate the amount of salt to soak out you're home free. All you have to watch then are the potatoes so they don't go to mush.
That is wonderful and I'm so glad your local grocer have stocked that for you. Its only right to have equal amounts of cultural food available for people. Having the pot liquor to salt is not tasty but if you haven't got time to soak the salt beef just double boil the water and disgrade the first boil. But the potatoes is the last to go in and 5 minutes is more then enough on those, then turn the boiler off with the cover left on to let the steam continue cooking them. Thank you so much for stopping by and stay safe. :) Bonita
Just made my first Jiggs dinner for New Year's Eve dinner. AMAZING!!! I salted the beef riblets for two weeks...it tasted much gentler than corned beef and allowed the meaty flavor to surface. Delicious! The real surprise was the pudding...this was my first boiled pudding. Everyone loved it...it got an 'oh my god' rating from the family. Thanks so much Bonita for sharing your recipes. Happy New Year!
That is so wonderful and I'm glad to help, how wonderful you got to make your first JIGGS DINNER and you mastered the meal. When your family tells you they enjoyed your meal that is the best compliment ever. Thank you for letting us know and have a Happy New Year to you and yours. :) Bonita
This was great. Myself and wife and another couple rode our motorcycles to Newfoundland for two weeks and I was never able to get a real Jiggs Dinner. I did have the Hash one morning and it was fantastic. The Jiggs Dinner seems like a New England boiled dinner. Great site I will follow.
I love a raisin or blueberry pudding when having JIGGS DINNER, it brings the meal together. My husband don't like any puddings with his meal. I guess its all what you grow up with for sure. Thank you for your message and for stopping by. Bonita
I tried the doughboy recipe yesterday and it was the best ever! My husband loved it too. Finally a recipe for doughboys that are perfect! Thank you so much!
Hi; Pauline, I'm so glad to help. what I share with you is what I make for my family and friends and if they enjoy them I know you would too. Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting our channel. :) Bonita
When I was a kid in the 70's my Newfoundland grandmother used to make Jiggs dinners, they were really good. She also used to buy blocks of fat, cut them up into little squares, and then fry them with potatoes. Tasted very good but kind of greasy.
Hi and thank you for your message and for watching our video for jiggs dinner. We love hearing stories from our viewers about how the recipe reminds them of their childhood. I'm thinking that was lard and she cut it in chunks to fry lot's of things like toutons ( fried dough ), fishcakes or pan fried fish. My mom and grandmother would use it too. But jiggs dinner was a traditional meal most people cooked on Sunday's. Thank you once again for stopping by and we post a new recipe every Sunday....Enjoy :) Bonita
Hi and thank you so much for stopping by...I'm so glad you are going to make our jiggs dinner recipe. I'm glad you are comfortable making the peas pudding. The raisin pudding is lovely and if you had a pudding tin it would steam so much faster. This is a link to the pudding tins ..... kit.co/bonitaskitchen/kitchen-essentials/non-stick-steamed-pu ...........But I do have a microwave style blueberry duff recipe here if you like to check out. .........It is very good but if over cooked it, it would be dry..... Maybe you can make one in advance to see if you like this method....... You can use raisins to replace the blueberries if you wish. ruclips.net/video/j1VdzH2H0X4/видео.htmlsi=AwaqV7EM6pQlPk8b also I have a recipe here for jiggs dinner pastries to use your leftovers.....ruclips.net/video/mLxjoEf6R3w/видео.htmlsi=mk1zyhf3ewLW95_V Let me know what you think and thank you.... :) Enjoy .... Bonita
Hi Petrina: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting my channel, i so appreciate you making my recipe and giving me feed back. Thanks Bonita
First time hearing that tip about pre-soaking the pudding bag. Dad never makes duff for our Jiggs and last time I made it at my place, the pudding stuck to the bag. I'll definitely be using that trick next time! Thanks!
You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and leaving a message. Soaking the pudding bag first gets the pudding bag ready, and the moist is in the bag before you ever start steaming your pudding. Let me know the next time you make it. :) Bonita
Thank you so much for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed our JIGGS DINNER video and recipe, its pretty tasty for sure. Visit our website www.bonitaskitchen.com for more tasty recipe ideas. :) Enjoy Bonita
I’m Colombian , grew up with a Colombian mom (my dad passed) she ended up dating a guy from NFL and every Sunday we would have this meal at his sisters house I LOVED IT . They broke up when I was 9 and totally just rember this meal and definitely going to make ur recipe haha I’m 23 now !
Hi and welcome to our channel, thank you for sharing your message with us. How lovely you remember having this meal. I do believe there is so much memories in food and sharing it with love ones. This is a lovely meal and if you don't have access to salted beef you can make it one its own and use a teaspoon of sea salt to salt the water. Add in those veggies and enjoy to the fullest. Bless you for stopping by and we post every Sunday if you wish to stop back.
Thank you for the guidance! I cheated and used an Instant Pot - cooking the salt beef and boneless chicken breast together in chicken broth, then set those aside and cooked my veg in the broth in the instant pot afterwards. I also made pease pudding. Loved all of it!
Oh my that is so lovely! How did the pease pudding go did it boil over in the pot. I've never cooked it in the instant pot before. I'm so glad you stopped by and thank you for sharing that with us. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen It came out perfectly! I cut the beef and chicken into cubes, more or less, and cooked it together in the seasoning packet with peppercorns that came with the beef, and chicken broth. I used the 'meat' setting. Now the instant pot did overcook the vegetables a little; next time I'll reduce the time on that to about 25 or 30 minutes as opposed to 40 I think it was on. I combined all that in a bowl afterwards. I still had to soak the split peas the day before and cook them on the stove while the Instant pot was going, but I knew I didn't have your mastery and level of patience to do everything the traditional way! Even so, everyone loved it. LOVED. it. We've never had it before, living in the south of the US.
@@AccioPadfoot12 Nice! I'm so glad you made it and thank you for following up and sharing your method to cook in the instant pot. I use the slow cooker a lot during the summer months. Thank you for stopping by and stop back anytime you are looking for a traditional or non-traditional recipe from us!!!! Bonita
Hi Ron, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, and you are very welcome. Seal meat is indeed an acquired taste, have a happy new year. :) Bonita
I am of Finnish and Ukrainian background born and raised up in the Northwest Territories. My Nova Scotian husband asked for a boiled/jiggs dinner. He and three friends from the same area agreed that my iteration of your recipe was a success. THANK YOU! A passing question through, they traditionally had dumplings rather than the peas. Will have to check your page/site for dumplings and try that side too.
Hi Arleen: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm so glad you made our traditional jiggs dinner and enjoyed it. I have a video link here to my peas soup and doughboys recipe and they are the same as dumplings. ruclips.net/video/tlUeA_PO_M4/видео.html thank you for sharing with us your background, we lived in the NWT for 27 years and its a lovely place to live. Have a lovely day...Bonita
Moogie Always They are pretty nice for sure, we love them with our Jiggs dinner and with caramel sauce. Thank you for your message and for stopping by...:) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen I have managed home made caramel sauce once. I actually like the Mexican style goats milk caramel sauce , Cajeta, that has some very acceptable premades in jars. I warm it up in the microwave.
Dear Bonita, I always love Your recipes. I am from right in the middle top of a map of The US in South Dakota. I live in Box Elder, S.D. I am only 10 miles from Rapid City, S.D. I had no idea of any of the DELICIOUS RECIPES of NEW FOUNDLAND. I have always heard You say, “This is leftover from a Jigg’s Dinner.” Now, I know what a JIGG’S DINNER IS AND IT IS VERY YUMMY LOOKING. Anyway, I am thanking You, Bonita for sharing Your talents with Us. GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES. Happy Fall!! ✝️🙏🏽🍁🍂🌻🎃
Oh my your message is so sweet, thank you Dalaine for stopping by. I'm so glad you enjoyed our Jiggs Dinner recipe and having leftovers for hash "couldn'ts" and the peas pudding for peas soup. www.bonitaskitchen.com/recipe/peas-soup-from-leftovers/ Thank you for sharing where you are from, stay safe and enjoy. :) Bonita
Bonita is a sweetheart! Her recipes are amazing! I was just thinking, what if you made your own peas/pudding bags and sold them to your fans? It would raise a few dollars and your fans will have a keepsake directly from you and Newfoundland directly! ;)
Hi and thank you for your message and for your lovely suggestion :) We have been getting pudding bags made when we sold our first cookbook and with a purchase of my cookbook I would include a pudding bag, bookmark and fridge magnet of bonitaskitchen, but I don't have any of my old cookbook available throw me only www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook and because of Covid I haven't been sending out any pudding bag because I don't have any available. It would be something I would look at doing in the future for sure. Thank you for enjoying our JIGGS DINNER recipe and Peas pudding. :) Stay safe Bonita
Christopher Murphy Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm glad you subscribed and I have over 135 recipe and video on my youtube channel, website and Facebook page. I have Traditional and Non Traditional Newfoundland recipe you can enjoy at your fingertips visit www.bonitaskitchen.com as well. Enjoy Bonita
Christopher Murphy I’m from NS and yes it is similar except we don’t do the puddings and a roast of chicken or beef with it but I would like to try their way we love dough boys like they do there too.
Hahaha that is wonderful, welcome and thank you for finding our channel and enjoy to the fullest. We have a website you can visit to find more of our tasty recipes www.bonitaskitchen.com :) Bonita
I learned how to make this many years ago from my husband's mother who was from Nova Scotia. She called it boiled dinner though :) The difference I believe between the two are that she put it all together into one pot and right before it's taken up she added dumplings into the broth. It actually serves two purposes. First it's another ingredient added to your plate and secondly the dumplings will thicken up the juice :) I forgot to add that I love parsnips in this. It adds a sort of nutmeg earthy flavor to the dinner.
Yes Wendy, they are pretty much the same only one was with gravy and the other was the pot liquor. Plus the dumplings boiled in the pot with the veggies, its so crazy our traditions are pretty much the same. :) Thank you so much for your lovely message and for stopping by. Have a lovely day....Bonita
Hi Christopher: You are very welcome and thank you for your message and for visiting our channel. I'm not sure about Vancouver restaurants serving Jiggs Dinner but here in Newfoundland and Labrador they serve it in their restaurants. This is a lovely meal and very heathy. Have a wonderful day. Bonita
Hi Maryann: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, I'm so glad you enjoyed our JIGGS DINNER recipe. Its very easy to make all you need to do is follow this video and recipe you will enjoy to the fullest.:) Bonita
Natasha Langdon Yes I could, I have a video there of making pease soup and it's pretty much that way only you cook it until it gets a little thicker. But I will put it on my list to do down the road. Thank you for your message. Bonita
Natasha Langdon this is the link to pease soup just check it out and remember the only difference is, let it cook longer to go thicker and no vegetables. ruclips.net/video/tlUeA_PO_M4/видео.html Enjoy Bonita
Hi WW Suwannee: Thank you for your message, that is a good question. Newfoundland is knowing for its music accordion players and Jiggs, my understanding is that this was all about our culture and it was also called Sunday Supper. When you cooked Jiggs dinner it was always cooked for a big crowd or family. I guess there may be more meanings and stories for Jiggs dinner, but a traditional Newfoundland meal cooked mostly on Sunday's. I hope that helps. Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Hello Bonita, It's called JIggs Dinner after a comic strip where the main character is an Irish Immigrant named Jiggs who lives in America... I'm from PEI and as most Atlantic Canadians we all have a similar recipe for this lovely meal. In PEI we call it simply a Boiled Dinner and we'd use salt riblets, salt spare ribs, or neck bones Etc and if you are desperate, a cottage roll (very similar to corned beef) we normally do not put in a pudding like you do in Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia (usually blueberry there) we make Dough Boys (dumplings), we also don't have another protein, as they do in New Brunswick, where they tend to use a fish as a protein at times, instead of meat.. In PEI, we tend to break out the mustard pickles, chow chow, sweet pickles and beets... I've been fortunate to have all of these meals several times and I love each and every one of them. They all have their own little twists that make them unique to each Province... I also love your Fish and Brewis recipe, I make it once or twice a year... Great channel, keep it up...
Hello ❤️ I love your show and recipes, they make me very homesick but in a good way. I was wondering if you might consider putting out a kindle version of your recipe book. I have a nice little app where I keep all my recipes and I could transfer your recipes into it so easily from a kindle version. I like so many of your recipes that copying them all into my app by hand is starting to give me a very sore wrist. Please take pity on a big fan. Much love ❤️ and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hi and thank you so much for your lovely message and for stopping by, I'm glad you enjoy our recipes and you are saving them in a app. I do have a ebook version www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook I'm thinking it will be under that link, I will check with my publisher and see if they have a app version with our second cookbook. Message anytime and thank you for all your support and God Bless...:) Bonita
I use a pyrex plate on the bottom of the pot to keep anything from sticking to the bottom. It is just the size of the bottom of the pot so it works perfect.
Hi and thank you for your message, you only put salt in the salt beef brining i have a link for you if you like to try to make it. ruclips.net/video/VGUwVR5gZeI/видео.html thanks again. Bonita
Look at you go! Cooking up a storm all by yourself. Idk how you do it. I've only had jiggs dinner once before and as delicious as it was, I know that there was so much work put into it (and I wasn't even the one making it so I really felt for them). You also have a few more things made here in your version so all I can say is I'm so amazed! Btw, what is a jigg? I've had it explained to me once before but I really dont remember too well. Isn't it something to do with a fisherman?
cosmo_rebeljdal97 Thank you for your message and I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe and video, good question about why it's called Jiggs dinner. Everyone got a different version I believe it's to do with the dance jigging years ago some of our elders were known for being good dancers and that was called Newfoundland Jigg and cooking Jiggs dinner is much like a Jigg from all the running around in your kitchen. :) I hope this helps. Bonita
If you're stuffing anything it's stuffing. Dressing is made on the side. Iove the accent and dropping h. Your recipes remind me of my mom's. I'm second generation polish
Hi LORI GOODWiN: Thank you so much for your messages, I'm not to sure about that but we do have people on my channel that's from NS that may be able to answer your question. Bonita
LORI GOODWiN it’s pretty similar except we never had it with a roast or the pease puddings just the vegetables and meats but they make it pretty special
Good morning Ian, welcome to our channel and thank you for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed our 15 minute video of dropped H's! I hope you get to make yourself a nice feed of Jiggs Dinner sometime and please follow up after you do so!! Have a wonderful day and we post a new recipe every Sunday. :) Bonita
Bonita, My Mother Made that Boil pudding & she tied it Cheese Cloth I think & she made white sauce with nutmeg & served it warm over the Boil Pudding 🥰😘😍
mary jemison: Yes Mary, you can put this pudding in a cotton pudding bag and tie to the side of your boiler, you can also make it separate because sometimes there isn't enough room in the boiler. I haven't had the white sauce with nutmeg but I make the caramel sauce with brown sugar and butter, milk, vanilla. Thank you for stopping by and watching our jigs dinner video. :) Bonita
haha I'm living in Newfoundland but we were seasonal florida travellers before the Covid 19. I love pot holders and I pick one up from everywhere we go. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our JIGGS DINNER recipe. :) Bonita
You are very welcome and for stopping by, you can soak the salt beef over night or boil it twice, once on its own for 1 - 1/2 hours and drain the water, half fill it again with water and start boiling the salt beef again. Then follow the recipe adding your veggies, enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
@@lauriethornton5349 Sound like you are very close to making a delicious meal, I do have a video coming out for making peas pudding two ways so hopefully that will help next time you make your jiggs dinner. Peas pudding is a important part of that meal, don't forget to subscribe to our channel to get notices on our next video. Thank you for following up, :) Bonita
I was just wondering whether it matters if I usee summer savory or winter savory? Summer Savory is hard to find where i live, but I grow my own Wibter Savory and it tastes basically the same, it's just got a stronger flavor.
It don't matter, I just say summer savoury because I've seen it in the USA and Canada. Not sure if it's available anywhere else. But you can use ground, dried or fresh. Thank you for stopping by and we post a new recipe and video every Sunday if you wish to stop back. :) Bonita
Hi Bonita I am not a Newfoundlander, but I have many friends that are living here in our town in Alberta. They talk about Jiggs dinner all the time and I thought I would prepare one for them. Question though with the salt beef, do I have this right? You soak it first and throw away the soaking water, then you boil it with the vegs in the order you said. Do you serve the salt beef with the meal, and what do you do with the veg/beef cooking water, it would be delicious? Thanks Janice
Jimpainter222 I only throw away about 1 third of the boiled salt water! I like mine salty! I also pour the "juice" or broth over my dinner on my plate for added flavor !
Hi Destiny, this is our best way to warm up our leftovers ruclips.net/video/rYQaNFz1uts/видео.html I have a link here for you to check out, not you can warm in the oven or microwave. But the frying in a pan is our favourite way. Enjoy Bonita
I am from Kentucky and am very surprised by your Jiggs dinner. The cooking of the peas and pudding both cooked in the same pot as the salt meat. Is the pudding salty? My Gran made her gravy the same way. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Diane thank you for your message and this is a traditional meal here in Newfoundland and loved and cooked by all Newfoundlanders over the years, The meat is salty but its cooked twice without the vegetables and then the water drain off. After cooked all together and its delicious, with the peas pudding and duff in cotton bags a busy boiler. :) Bonita
Thank you! I will check it out :) I love pease pudding and tried it in pot before but didn't see the same to me. Is Amazon the only way to order the book? thanks again ❤
Natasha Langdon that is wonderful pease soup and pudding is my husband favourite as will. I had a few cookbooks but they went fast and I will be ordering more but they won't be available before the last of May. If you are interested in that message me then and I will mail one to you. Thank you for your messages. Bonita
Hi Bonita, was wondering if you would consider sharing a recipe of molasses pudding or duff my mother use to making it for me she still lives there but doesn't have the recipe anymore. With love xo
Hi Rebecca: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, I don't have a recipe and video posted yet for molasses pudding/duff but I do have one for Plum Pudding and it is almost the same method and you can use less of the fruit and only raisin and the other ingredients. I hope you enjoy and if you subscribed to our channel when the recipes are posted you will be able to see if its one you are looking for. Enjoy ruclips.net/video/rRbz59nTW6s/видео.html also visit www.bonitaskitchen.com
Hi and thank you for your message I have a link here you can order savoury kit.co/bonitaskitchen/newfoundland-kitchen/marshalls- and this one is for ground savoury kit.co/bonitaskitchen/newfoundland-kitchen/mccormick- Hopefully its still available when you order. :) Enjoy Bonita
I dies for a good feed of Jiggs (cooked supper as my family calls it), I’ve never had the raisin pudding before tho, my dad makes onion and bread pudding in that bag and something else he makes too is what we calls a crust, it’s a pastry type of thing that’s spread out kinda thin on a baking tray and baked till golden... yours looked deadly too tho and the only thing I’d like added is some canned cranberry jelly
Thank you for stopping by and enjoying our JIGGS DINNER/COOKED DINNER recipe. I have a recipe for Onion pudding as well and having any pudding is lovely with this meal. I'm glad you enjoy it for sure, have a wonderful day and don't forget to check out more of our recipes www.bonitaskitchen.com and join our new letter to send you updates and reminders. :) Bonita

Thanks Violet, I do appreciate your kind words, I am in the middle of making a cookbook. I haven't sat a date yet on its release but I will post it a few months before to let everyone know. My website is bonitaskitchen.com and on Facebook bonita's kitchen. Thanks again Bonita
Bonita is the Queen of Newfoundland Cuisine 😀
Hi Christy: Thank you for your sweet comment and for visiting Bonita's Kitchen. Bonita
My God, I'm drooling over this video Bonita. I can smell it cooking through my iPad!! Yum
Christy O'Rinn I Agree Bonita, is the Best Of Best 😍😍🌹
I hope you realize that you just destroyed any hope of anything I eat for the next week being the least bit satisfying after watching what you have just created! When I was in high school (in the 70`s) my best friend was from Newfoundland, his mother was right off of the rock Newfoundland original as good as it gets. My friend was the last of 15 big boys and his mom never quite mastered cooking small portions, that was a real win for me because she would just drag me in the door and feed me. I absolutely adored that lady and by extension any Newfoundland lady with an apron on just warms my heart.
rheniformer that is so sweet of you, I do agree it is very hard to cook for a small group of people because being from Newfoundland I only know how to cook for a crew. I'm so glad you shared this beautiful story with me and I hope you continue viewing my channel. I have a website www.bonitaskitchen.com and a newly released cookbook on Amazon the link is www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook just in case you would like to make some of these delicious Traditional Newfoundland recipes. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you once again. Bonita
Yeah Bonita’s videos make me crave Newfoundland food
Beautiful cooking...how long do you cook the peas pudding and the pastry?
This shows just how good of a cook you are.. the way you maneuver around the kitchen and not miss a beat in explaining everything. You’re Fab!
My Oh My!!! That looks like a heck of a lot of work!!! I think that only a person that truly loves to cook would attempt this meal so I salute you Bonita. Great job!!! Raymond must be so proud and well fed!!! Thanks...Peace!!!

Jiggs Dinner is our traditional meal here in Newfoundland and Labrador, years ago our parents would make this one every Sunday for lunch and at supper time we would have Cold Plates, made up of cold salads and cold cuts, sometimes left over roast or salted beef. ruclips.net/video/cgoEFpyytME/видео.html thats the link if you wish to check it out. Thank you Bill for stopping by. :) Bonita
That’s very true!!! I only get through it with the help of my husband.
I will bet that this dish smells like heaven on a cold afternoon
My boyfriends mom adds parsnips too and it’s all great! Jigs dinner is my favourite.
Yes I love parsnips in my Jiggs Dinner and in soups they are nice and sweet. Thanks again for your message. Bonita
I just had the best jigs dinner for Christmas this year. cooked over a wood stove.. im still fantasizing over it
Your recipe is a common Sunday dinner in Lancashire just add a Yorkshire pudding magic but we cook pudding separate
We made this all the time at home in Cape Breton! My fave used to be the riblets.
Oh my the riblets, are the best and its nice to have this meal every so often. Thank you for your message and for stopping by. :) Bonita
That is one HUGE parsnip!
Everything looks delicious! 💜
My family was introduced to a great version of Jiggs dinner many years ago in Cape Breton. A lovely lady who was my unofficial gran showed my Dad how to make it. He would make it every so often. Always a big Sunday favorite.
Sandra Nelson oh my that is so wonderful and your dad must have lovely that, Jiggs dinner is mostly made here in Newfoundland Sunday's and special occasions. I love cooking it for a big crowd not just for two, the steps looks like it's a lot but to me is one of the easiest meals to prepare for a big family or gathering. Thank you for your message and for stopping by. Bonita
I just love to watch these to relax, Absolutely love your accent. I really appreciate that you make everything so easy by explaining your timing and all steps.
You are so sweet and thank you for leaving a beautiful message, and compliment. We have over 260 videos and recipes posted here and to our website for you to enjoy. Plus we post a NEW one every Sunday. :) Bonita
Thanks for the video . I just started living alone and I'm going to try and cook this for myself .
You are Newfoundland's Julia Child. Thank you so much for all your work. These videos are GREAT and so helpful for use who have been away and forget when to put the potatoes on. lol
You should do a video for ALTERNATIVES.
* Can't get salt beef in Florida, so I use corned beef and add extra salt in the pot.
* I make mustard pickles from Chipped Sweet Pickles and mustard.
* Only recently realized Mount Scio Savory is just winter savory. I order mine on Amazon and it's amazing!
* etc....
Of course, when I get the courage, I am going to try your pickles and salt beef and hardtack recipes.
Thank you Ron for stopping by and for the lovely compliment. I will keep you suggestion in mind for sure, Most of my video thats more resent I do say if you can't find one of the ingredients replace it with something you have already. When we visited Florida last year I'm sure I seen summer savoury at Public's also I found salt pork for frying scrunches.
But for sure you can by it online and through Mount Sclo Savoury they ship anywhere.
The hard tack recipe is a quick and easy one and you can make yourself some Fish and Brewis for Christmas Eve.
Thank you once again for your message and have a Merry Christmas and stay safe.
Bonita
Just how I love it and remember it as a child. I always tried to make sure my children knew this meal. Also love fish n bruise with scrunchions. Can’t be beat. Now if I knew how to properly prepare cod tongues 💥💥💥 the tongues we got as kids were huge. No more than one or two in a pan. Now sadly they’re tiny wee things. Love your channel ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you for keeping our recipes alive Bonita ❤️🤗
Bonita, Thank you SO, SO much for the recipes for jiggs dinner and peas pudding. I will be trying out these recipes probably next week. Looking forward to a great day cooking and enjoying a delicious sounding meal. Will likely share it with my neighbors from downstairs. He's from N.F.LD. Again, thank you.
You are very welcome and enjoy to the fullest, I'm glad to help. :) Bonita
thank you so much Bonita!! i have been missing a proper Jig's dinner being far away from home, and i really appreciate how you did the step by step for me :) looks some good!
You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and enjoying our video, jiggs dinner is a lovely meal and very filling, thats what I found when living away you can't get all the ingredients to make a true jiggs dinner or boiled dinner. Thank you for your message and have a lovely day. :) Bonita
Wow, I haven't had a Jiggs dinner since I moved up to Ontario. My mouth is watering! Great video.
1LitreofCola that is wonderful I'm glad you enjoyed it, now you are going to have to make it for yourself. Thank you for visiting Bonita's kitchen and your comment. Please take the time to subscribe and each time we post a new video we will send you a notification letting you know. Thanks Bonita
Wow Bonita thats quite the dinner. Looks really good as well. Thank you for this recipe. I’m the only one that will eat this pork but I can’t wait.
You are so welcome, enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
I can already think how does it taste like.AMAZING!
My wife and I cooked our first Jiggs Dinner watching your video, and it was just like my mother and my nan make. I always kicked myself for not learning more of the traditional recipes when I was home, and your website and cookbook are about as close as I'm going to get to a copy of nan's old index card recipe box. Thank you.
Oh my thank you so much for making and enjoying our recipe and I'm so glad to help, you mom would be so proud of you for just keeping her cultural foods alive. I'm sorry for the late responds I just seen your message and sometime our messages just gets pushed down the list. We started Bonita's Kitchen 5 years ago for this reason to help keep our traditional foods alive for anyone that is looking to make a little taste of home. Enjoy and you can visit our website for over 200 + recipes and video www.bonitaskitchen.com :) Bonita
Beautiful meal! The salt pork riblet must add a great flavor to everything!
*_Best!_*
*_Meal!_*
*_Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!_*
This made me so happy! My first Christmas out of Newfoundland and I wanna get our Jiggs close as possible to my mom and nans!
Oh my that is wonderful, I remember my first time away from home at Christmas Time and it was very lonely. I can remember my Dad sending me Veggies from his garden to cheer me up. I'm glad you found our video for Jiggs Dinner, you will do amazing. Enjoy to the fullest and Merry Christmas. :) Bonita
Man, did that look delicious! What a wonderful variety for dinner, and all cooked perfectly, no doubt.
That is so lovely of you to have watched our video all the ways through and noticed the end result and it is indeed a lovely hearty meal. So much flavour and then its nap time after because there is so much food. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a message. :) Enjoy Bonita
Had this several times at our neighbours' house before they moved back to Newfoundland. Loved it!
Aww! That is so wonderful, I so glad you got to taste this recipe before and now you can make it yourself. This is a wonderful family meal and makes for tasty leftover meals. Enjoy and thank you for leaving a message. Bonita
I have lived in Manitoba all my life, so have never heard of a Jiggs dinner. It looks lovely and is a lot of work. It could be a
great Christmas family dinner! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Isca S: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Jiggs Dinner is one of the easiest meal to make, I've been making this meal for many years and feel that when I'm cooking for a crowd this is the meal I would make. Thanks again for your message and enjoy. Bonita
I don’t find it easy lol. Husband helps with steps!!
Good video. Our local grocer just started stocking Chalkers' salt beef and pork which is done in NL. Best purchase they ever made and considerably cheaper than the other brands. Once you get to know how to regulate the amount of salt to soak out you're home free. All you have to watch then are the potatoes so they don't go to mush.
That is wonderful and I'm so glad your local grocer have stocked that for you. Its only right to have equal amounts of cultural food available for people. Having the pot liquor to salt is not tasty but if you haven't got time to soak the salt beef just double boil the water and disgrade the first boil. But the potatoes is the last to go in and 5 minutes is more then enough on those, then turn the boiler off with the cover left on to let the steam continue cooking them. Thank you so much for stopping by and stay safe. :) Bonita
Just made my first Jiggs dinner for New Year's Eve dinner. AMAZING!!!
I salted the beef riblets for two weeks...it tasted much gentler than corned beef and allowed the meaty flavor to surface. Delicious!
The real surprise was the pudding...this was my first boiled pudding. Everyone loved it...it got an 'oh my god' rating from the family.
Thanks so much Bonita for sharing your recipes. Happy New Year!
That is so wonderful and I'm glad to help, how wonderful you got to make your first JIGGS DINNER and you mastered the meal. When your family tells you they enjoyed your meal that is the best compliment ever. Thank you for letting
us know and have a Happy New Year to you and yours. :) Bonita
Blueberry steamed pudding is also nice with a brown sugar sauce.
This was great. Myself and wife and another couple rode our motorcycles to Newfoundland for two weeks and I was never able to get a real Jiggs Dinner. I did have the Hash one morning and it was fantastic. The Jiggs Dinner seems like a New England boiled dinner. Great site I will follow.
Kevin how you can make it yourself and it will taste amazing. Thanks for visiting NL and of course Bonita's Kitchen.
Yum yum yum, I love a boiled dinner. Where my husband grew up they didn't do the raisin pudding, but it looks really good.
I love a raisin or blueberry pudding when having JIGGS DINNER, it brings the meal together. My husband don't like any puddings with his meal. I guess its all what you grow up with for sure. Thank you for your message and for stopping by. Bonita
Oh, hey Karen!
@@Keefcooks hi Keef! Fancy meeting you here ,☺️
That's dinner, lunch and dinner again. YUM
Thank you :) Bonita
Awesome, thank you so much. Needed to learn how to do turnip and peas pudding
Nice! You are very welcome and thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
I tried the doughboy recipe yesterday and it was the best ever! My husband loved it too. Finally a recipe for doughboys that are perfect! Thank you so much!
Hi; Pauline, I'm so glad to help. what I share with you is what I make for my family and friends and if they enjoy them I know you would too. Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting our channel. :) Bonita
This sounds fabulous!
When I was a kid in the 70's my Newfoundland grandmother used to make Jiggs dinners, they were really good. She also used to buy blocks of fat, cut them up into little squares, and then fry them with potatoes. Tasted very good but kind of greasy.
Hi and thank you for your message and for watching our video for jiggs dinner. We love hearing stories from our viewers about how the recipe reminds them of their childhood. I'm thinking that was lard and she cut it in chunks to fry lot's of things like toutons ( fried dough ), fishcakes or pan fried fish. My mom and grandmother would use it too. But jiggs dinner was a traditional meal most people cooked on Sunday's. Thank you once again for stopping by and we post a new recipe every Sunday....Enjoy :) Bonita
That really looks delicious 😋
Getting ready to do a jigs dinner this weekend, tried peas pudding last time, now to try the raisin pudding looks so good
Hi and thank you so much for stopping by...I'm so glad you are going to make our jiggs dinner recipe. I'm glad you are comfortable making the peas pudding. The raisin pudding is lovely and if you had a pudding tin it would steam so much faster. This is a link to the pudding tins ..... kit.co/bonitaskitchen/kitchen-essentials/non-stick-steamed-pu ...........But I do have a microwave style blueberry duff recipe here if you like to check out. .........It is very good but if over cooked it, it would be dry..... Maybe you can make one in advance to see if you like this method....... You can use raisins to replace the blueberries if you wish. ruclips.net/video/j1VdzH2H0X4/видео.htmlsi=AwaqV7EM6pQlPk8b also I have a recipe here for jiggs dinner pastries to use your leftovers.....ruclips.net/video/mLxjoEf6R3w/видео.htmlsi=mk1zyhf3ewLW95_V Let me know what you think and thank you.... :) Enjoy .... Bonita
I’m truly hungry for your dinner!
Thanks Bonita
You are very welcome. :) Bonita
Followed your recipe for figgy duff! Best I have ever made!
Hi Petrina: Thank you so much for your lovely message and for visiting my channel, i so appreciate you making my recipe and giving me feed back. Thanks Bonita
Hi Bonita! I bought your cook book on Amazon.ca too! Just in case I can't access the internet and want to cook some food from home.
Hi Petrina: Thank you so much for ordering my cookbook I'm so glad you are enjoying my recipes and enjoy them to the fullest. :) Bonita
Beautiful dinner
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. :) Bonita
Lovely!
Thank you its pretty tasty. :) Bonita
First time hearing that tip about pre-soaking the pudding bag. Dad never makes duff for our Jiggs and last time I made it at my place, the pudding stuck to the bag. I'll definitely be using that trick next time! Thanks!
You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by and leaving a message. Soaking the pudding bag first gets the pudding bag ready, and the moist is in the bag before you ever start steaming your pudding. Let me know the next time you make it. :) Bonita
That looks great!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed our JIGGS DINNER video and recipe, its pretty tasty for sure. Visit our website www.bonitaskitchen.com for more tasty recipe ideas. :) Enjoy Bonita
I’m Colombian , grew up with a Colombian mom (my dad passed) she ended up dating a guy from NFL and every Sunday we would have this meal at his sisters house I LOVED IT . They broke up when I was 9 and totally just rember this meal and definitely going to make ur recipe haha I’m 23 now !
Hi and welcome to our channel, thank you for sharing your message with us. How lovely you remember having this meal. I do believe there is so much memories in food and sharing it with love ones. This is a lovely meal and if you don't have access to salted beef you can make it one its own and use a teaspoon of sea salt to salt the water. Add in those veggies and enjoy to the fullest. Bless you for stopping by and we post every Sunday if you wish to stop back.
@@bonitaskitchenthank you so much !!! I’m going to make it this week 😊
That looks amazing
Thank you its pretty tasty and a big meal with lots of leftovers :) Thank you for stopping by and enjoy :) Bonita
Thank you for the guidance! I cheated and used an Instant Pot - cooking the salt beef and boneless chicken breast together in chicken broth, then set those aside and cooked my veg in the broth in the instant pot afterwards. I also made pease pudding. Loved all of it!
Oh my that is so lovely! How did the pease pudding go did it boil over in the pot. I've never cooked it in the instant pot before. I'm so glad you stopped by and thank you for sharing that with us. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen It came out perfectly! I cut the beef and chicken into cubes, more or less, and cooked it together in the seasoning packet with peppercorns that came with the beef, and chicken broth. I used the 'meat' setting. Now the instant pot did overcook the vegetables a little; next time I'll reduce the time on that to about 25 or 30 minutes as opposed to 40 I think it was on. I combined all that in a bowl afterwards. I still had to soak the split peas the day before and cook them on the stove while the Instant pot was going, but I knew I didn't have your mastery and level of patience to do everything the traditional way! Even so, everyone loved it. LOVED. it. We've never had it before, living in the south of the US.
@@AccioPadfoot12 Nice! I'm so glad you made it and thank you for following up and sharing your method to cook in the instant pot. I use the slow cooker a lot during the summer months. Thank you for stopping by and stop back anytime you are looking for a traditional or non-traditional recipe from us!!!! Bonita
I just did this and it turned out great,,, but not a good as my grandmother’s lol thank you Bonita
My only complaint about your cooking is that I'm not in your dining room when it's served.
That is so sweet :) Bonita
True
Some good.
ap wang thank you for your message and for visiting Bonita's kitchen.
Hi B,,,,, Thanks for the memories. I lived in Labrador for 2 years a long time ago. The food was fantastic. I even learned to like seal meat. Ron
Hi Ron, Thank you for your message and for stopping by, and you are very welcome. Seal meat is indeed an acquired taste, have a happy new year. :) Bonita
I am of Finnish and Ukrainian background born and raised up in the Northwest Territories. My Nova Scotian husband asked for a boiled/jiggs dinner. He and three friends from the same area agreed that my iteration of your recipe was a success. THANK YOU!
A passing question through, they traditionally had dumplings rather than the peas. Will have to check your page/site for dumplings and try that side too.
Hi Arleen: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I'm so glad you made our traditional jiggs dinner and enjoyed it. I have a video link here to my peas soup and doughboys recipe and they are the same as dumplings. ruclips.net/video/tlUeA_PO_M4/видео.html thank you for sharing with us your background, we lived in the NWT for 27 years and its a lovely place to live. Have a lovely day...Bonita

I love raisin puddings.
Moogie Always They are pretty nice for sure, we love them with our Jiggs dinner and with caramel sauce. Thank you for your message and for stopping by...:) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen I have managed home made caramel sauce once. I actually like the Mexican style goats milk caramel sauce , Cajeta, that has some very acceptable premades in jars. I warm it up in the microwave.
Dear Bonita,
I always love Your recipes. I am from right in the middle top of a map of The US in South Dakota. I live in Box Elder, S.D. I am only 10 miles from Rapid City, S.D.
I had no idea of any of the DELICIOUS RECIPES of NEW FOUNDLAND. I have always heard You say, “This is leftover from a Jigg’s Dinner.” Now, I know what a JIGG’S DINNER IS AND IT IS VERY YUMMY LOOKING.
Anyway, I am thanking You, Bonita for sharing Your talents with Us.
GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND LOVED ONES. Happy Fall!! ✝️🙏🏽🍁🍂🌻🎃

@@bonitaskitchen, thank You So Much. I will try the others as well. Keep safe, Yourself. 😊👍🏼❤️👋🏼
Bonita is a sweetheart! Her recipes are amazing! I was just thinking, what if you made your own peas/pudding bags and sold them to your fans? It would raise a few dollars and your fans will have a keepsake directly from you and Newfoundland directly! ;)
Hi and thank you for your message and for your lovely suggestion :) We have been getting pudding bags made when we sold our first cookbook and with a purchase of my cookbook I would include a pudding bag, bookmark and fridge magnet of bonitaskitchen, but I don't have any of my old cookbook available throw me only www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook and because of Covid I haven't been sending out any pudding bag because I don't have any available. It would be something I would look at doing in the future for sure. Thank you for enjoying our JIGGS DINNER recipe and Peas pudding. :) Stay safe Bonita
thank u Bonita!!
Natasha Langdon you are welcome. Bonita
Is that called giggle pudding ,,my husband always talked about it ,but never knew how to make it ,,great video Bonita,thanks

Thank you! We used blackstrap molasses for the raisin duff instead of sugar. Gave it nice colour + flavour.

5 star meal ❤
Natasha Langdon thank you so much and I agree with you, there is nothing like a good feed of Jiggs dinner. Bonita
Yum .
I learned how to make this many years ago from my husband's mother who was from Nova Scotia. She called it boiled dinner though :) The difference I believe between the two are that she put it all together into one pot and right before it's taken up she added dumplings into the broth. It actually serves two purposes. First it's another ingredient added to your plate and secondly the dumplings will thicken up the juice :) I forgot to add that I love parsnips in this. It adds a sort of nutmeg earthy flavor to the dinner.
Yes Wendy, they are pretty much the same only one was with gravy and the other was the pot liquor. Plus the dumplings boiled in the pot with the veggies, its so crazy our traditions are pretty much the same. :) Thank you so much for your lovely message and for stopping by. Have a lovely day....Bonita
Thanks for the video! I hope Vancouver has a restaurant that serves Jiggs dinner.
Hi Christopher: You are very welcome and thank you for your message and for visiting our channel. I'm not sure about Vancouver restaurants serving Jiggs Dinner but here in Newfoundland and Labrador they serve it in their restaurants. This is a lovely meal and very heathy. Have a wonderful day. Bonita
Heard you on CBC a while ago. I just had to subscribe to your channel!

Hi Maryann: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, I'm so glad you enjoyed our JIGGS DINNER recipe. Its very easy to make all you need to do is follow this video and recipe you will enjoy to the fullest.:) Bonita
Bonita, do you think you could ever do then pease pudding in a pot. to show how it's cooked that way?? thank you! Great video ❤
Natasha Langdon Yes I could, I have a video there of making pease soup and it's pretty much that way only you cook it until it gets a little thicker. But I will put it on my list to do down the road. Thank you for your message. Bonita
Natasha Langdon this is the link to pease soup just check it out and remember the only difference is, let it cook longer to go thicker and no vegetables. ruclips.net/video/tlUeA_PO_M4/видео.html
Enjoy Bonita
That looks so good. I love plain food.....or anything with gravy :). Bonita, why is it called "Jiggs Dinner"? and thank you for the video.
Hi WW Suwannee: Thank you for your message, that is a good question. Newfoundland is knowing for its music accordion players and Jiggs, my understanding is that this was all about our culture and it was also called Sunday Supper. When you cooked Jiggs dinner it was always cooked for a big crowd or family. I guess there may be more meanings and stories for Jiggs dinner, but a traditional Newfoundland meal cooked mostly on Sunday's. I hope that helps. Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen Hello Bonita, It's called JIggs Dinner after a comic strip where the main character is an Irish Immigrant named Jiggs who lives in America... I'm from PEI and as most Atlantic Canadians we all have a similar recipe for this lovely meal. In PEI we call it simply a Boiled Dinner and we'd use salt riblets, salt spare ribs, or neck bones Etc and if you are desperate, a cottage roll (very similar to corned beef) we normally do not put in a pudding like you do in Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia (usually blueberry there) we make Dough Boys (dumplings), we also don't have another protein, as they do in New Brunswick, where they tend to use a fish as a protein at times, instead of meat.. In PEI, we tend to break out the mustard pickles, chow chow, sweet pickles and beets... I've been fortunate to have all of these meals several times and I love each and every one of them. They all have their own little twists that make them unique to each Province... I also love your Fish and Brewis recipe, I make it once or twice a year... Great channel, keep it up...
Hello ❤️
I love your show and recipes, they make me very homesick but in a good way. I was wondering if you might consider putting out a kindle version of your recipe book. I have a nice little app where I keep all my recipes and I could transfer your recipes into it so easily from a kindle version. I like so many of your recipes that copying them all into my app by hand is starting to give me a very sore wrist. Please take pity on a big fan. Much love ❤️ and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hi and thank you so much for your lovely message and for stopping by, I'm glad you enjoy our recipes and you are saving them in a app. I do have a ebook version www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook I'm thinking it will be under that link, I will check with my publisher and see if they have a app version with our second cookbook. Message anytime and thank you for all your support and God Bless...:) Bonita
I use a pyrex plate on the bottom of the pot to keep anything from sticking to the bottom. It is just the size of the bottom of the pot so it works perfect.
That great and thank you for sharing that with us, I would be afraid it would brake. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a message. :) Bonita
Thanks Bonita do you put any thing other than salt when making salt beef terry
Hi and thank you for your message, you only put salt in the salt beef brining i have a link for you if you like to try to make it. ruclips.net/video/VGUwVR5gZeI/видео.html thanks again. Bonita
Look at you go! Cooking up a storm all by yourself. Idk how you do it. I've only had jiggs dinner once before and as delicious as it was, I know that there was so much work put into it (and I wasn't even the one making it so I really felt for them). You also have a few more things made here in your version so all I can say is I'm so amazed! Btw, what is a jigg? I've had it explained to me once before but I really dont remember too well. Isn't it something to do with a fisherman?
cosmo_rebeljdal97 Thank you for your message and I'm glad you enjoyed this recipe and video, good question about why it's called Jiggs dinner. Everyone got a different version I believe it's to do with the dance jigging years ago some of our elders were known for being good dancers and that was called Newfoundland Jigg and cooking Jiggs dinner is much like a Jigg from all the running around in your kitchen. :) I hope this helps. Bonita
Hi Bonita - is the 'Savoury' in the stuffing a herb? Tastes a bit like thyme?
Savoury is a herb. It is also called "Summer Savoury". It has a wonderful flavour. It is similar to thyme but with a hint of pine flavour.
If you're stuffing anything it's stuffing. Dressing is made on the side. Iove the accent and dropping h. Your recipes remind me of my mom's. I'm second generation polish
Would this be the equivalent of a NS boiled dinner?
Hi LORI GOODWiN: Thank you so much for your messages, I'm not to sure about that but we do have people on my channel that's from NS that may be able to answer your question. Bonita
LORI GOODWiN it’s pretty similar except we never had it with a roast or the pease puddings just the vegetables and meats but they make it pretty special
Most aitches dropped ever on a 15 minute video. Loved it.
Good morning Ian, welcome to our channel and thank you for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed our 15 minute video of dropped H's! I hope you get to make yourself a nice feed of Jiggs Dinner sometime and please follow up after you do so!! Have a wonderful day and we post a new recipe every Sunday. :) Bonita
Bonita, My Mother Made that Boil pudding & she tied it Cheese Cloth I think & she made white sauce with nutmeg & served it warm over the Boil Pudding 🥰😘😍
mary jemison: Yes Mary, you can put this pudding in a cotton pudding bag and tie to the side of your boiler, you can also make it separate because sometimes there isn't enough room in the boiler. I haven't had the white sauce with nutmeg but I make the caramel sauce with brown sugar and butter, milk, vanilla. Thank you for stopping by and watching our jigs dinner video. :) Bonita
Bonita are you living in Newfoundland? Or are you located in Florida as your little pot holder shows?
You're an amazing cook 👍🏼
thxs-you
haha I'm living in Newfoundland but we were seasonal florida travellers before the Covid 19. I love pot holders and I pick one up from everywhere we go. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our JIGGS DINNER recipe. :) Bonita
thank you for your help with making jiggs dinner. i have a question, do you have to soak the salt beef and the peas over night
You are very welcome and for stopping by, you can soak the salt beef over night or boil it twice, once on its own for 1 - 1/2 hours and drain the water, half fill it again with water and start boiling the salt beef again. Then follow the recipe adding your veggies, enjoy to the fullest. :) Bonita
@@bonitaskitchen the salt beef turned out great but my peas pudding did work out because of the cheese cloth I used. . Thanks again for your help
@@lauriethornton5349 Sound like you are very close to making a delicious meal, I do have a video coming out for making peas pudding two ways so hopefully that will help next time you make your jiggs dinner. Peas pudding is a important part of that meal, don't forget to subscribe to our channel to get notices on our next video. Thank you for following up, :) Bonita
I was just wondering whether it matters if I usee summer savory or winter savory? Summer Savory is hard to find where i live, but I grow my own Wibter Savory and it tastes basically the same, it's just got a stronger flavor.
It don't matter, I just say summer savoury because I've seen it in the USA and Canada. Not sure if it's available anywhere else. But you can use ground, dried or fresh. Thank you for stopping by and we post a new recipe and video every Sunday if you wish to stop back. :) Bonita
Hi Bonita I am not a Newfoundlander, but I have many friends that are living here in our town in Alberta. They talk about Jiggs dinner all the time and I thought I would prepare one for them. Question though with the salt beef, do I have this right? You soak it first and throw away the soaking water, then you boil it with the vegs in the order you said. Do you serve the salt beef with the meal, and what do you do with the veg/beef cooking water, it would be delicious? Thanks Janice
When you follow this video you will be a pro at making Jiggs Dinner. Thanks for visiting Bonita's Kitchen.
Jimpainter222 I only throw away about 1 third of the boiled salt water! I like mine salty! I also pour the "juice" or broth over my dinner on my plate for added flavor !
What is the best way to warm up leftovers do you think? Oven or microwave ?
Hi Destiny, this is our best way to warm up our leftovers ruclips.net/video/rYQaNFz1uts/видео.html I have a link here for you to check out, not you can warm in the oven or microwave. But the frying in a pan is our favourite way. Enjoy Bonita
I am from Kentucky and am very surprised by your Jiggs dinner. The cooking of the peas and pudding both cooked in the same pot as the salt meat. Is the pudding salty? My Gran made her gravy the same way. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Diane thank you for your message and this is a traditional meal here in Newfoundland and loved and cooked by all Newfoundlanders over the years, The meat is salty but its cooked twice without the vegetables and then the water drain off. After cooked all together and its delicious, with the peas pudding and duff in cotton bags a busy boiler. :) Bonita
Thank you! I will check it out :) I love pease pudding and tried it in pot before but didn't see the same to me. Is Amazon the only way to order the book? thanks again ❤
Natasha Langdon that is wonderful pease soup and pudding is my husband favourite as will. I had a few cookbooks but they went fast and I will be ordering more but they won't be available before the last of May. If you are interested in that message me then and I will mail one to you. Thank you for your messages. Bonita
Where’s the bread pudding..?
I have a question. Is any other receipt for salt beef? Could I roast it? Th fat tissue should melt.
Hi Bonita, was wondering if you would consider sharing a recipe of molasses pudding or duff my mother use to making it for me she still lives there but doesn't have the recipe anymore. With love xo
Hi Rebecca: Thank you for your message and for visiting our channel, I don't have a recipe and video posted yet for molasses pudding/duff but I do have one for Plum Pudding and it is almost the same method and you can use less of the fruit and only raisin and the other ingredients. I hope you enjoy and if you subscribed to our channel when the recipes are posted you will be able to see if its one you are looking for.

where do i get a pot like that!!?
Hi Seirra: You can use any large boiler to cook this meal in. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy to the fullest!! Bonita
I dies for a good feed of Jiggs (cooked supper as my family calls it), I’ve never had the raisin pudding before tho, my dad makes onion and bread pudding in that bag and something else he makes too is what we calls a crust, it’s a pastry type of thing that’s spread out kinda thin on a baking tray and baked till golden... yours looked deadly too tho and the only thing I’d like added is some canned cranberry jelly
Thank you for stopping by and enjoying our JIGGS DINNER/COOKED DINNER recipe. I have a recipe for Onion pudding as well and having any pudding is lovely with this meal. I'm glad you enjoy it for sure, have a wonderful day and don't forget to check out more of our recipes www.bonitaskitchen.com and join our new letter to send you updates and reminders. :) Bonita
