I freeze potatoes every year! Peel, cut into size you want, blanch, drain, then put on parchment lined trays and freeze them. When frozen, place in ziplock bags and wah lah!, potatoes all year! My favorite way is cut in half. So easy to make baked in the oven right out of the freezer! I also cut into shredded hashbrowns, rinse off the starch, blanch for 3 minutes, drain and run under cold water, dry them in salad spinner, then dehydrate them. When ready to use, just put hot water over them to rehydrate. So good!!!
Thanks for that info I was only wondering today can ya freeze potatoes because I was freezing a loads of leeks for potato and leek soup and I was thinking I'd love if I could freeze all the indredients in one bag and have a dump and go soup mix so thank you.
How long do you blanch them?
@@emmamcdonald3410 glad to help!!
@@katrinaphipps8681scroll up for 2 comments before yours. It pays to read the comments before you comment because you might find the answer to your question in them....if not, then comment 😊.
That’s great, thanks so much for posting this.
ONE OF THOSE METAL STRAWS WORKS GREAT FOR PITTING TOO.
That’s what I use and it works great! After several cherries, simply blow out what cherry flesh has collected in the straw. The pits push out the bottom of the cherries since they’re larger than the opening of the straw.
Works for strawberries too! 👍
@@shesatitagain234me too
That's what I use too!
A large paper clip works well too, just reshape it.
If you put up a mailbox in your garden, you can use it to store small garden tools during the growing season.
That's an awesome idea.
Yesterday, I canned 30 pounds of Jalepeno Cowboy Candy in pint jars. I now have 22 jars of deliciousness for the following year! 😂
I put pineapple in the bottom of some of mine, so delicious
@yesterdayseyes WOW that sounds delicious I have never heard of adding pineapple to cowboy candy. Do you just a one thick slice? Or a percentage compared to peppers? I would like to try this.
@@yesterdayseyes I will have to try that next year!! Thanks!
You should know that you have had a huge influence on my gardening and food preparation journey.. thank you for not making things difficult! Although I wish I could accomplish half of what you do and be as organized as you! You still have helped me immensely improve!!
Thanks Becky 😊 and Josh!! Peace & God's blessings on you and yours 😇
I know right?? She’s one busy bee but looks like she enjoys every bit of it!!
Very well said
@@tinacarr9498 I feel the same! I took a master gardener class this spring but I've learned more with Becky! I love the food preservation days too. I'm very very glad to have found her podcast!!!
Great job kindo. You work so hard. Keeping a house , gardening, harvesting, preserving ,home renovations and being a mother it is unbelievable. Congratulations ❤❤❤
I was thinking the same thing, and she makes it seem so easy. I love her channel so much
We roast our cherry tomatoes in the oven. With olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper for 20ish minutes. Spread it in garlic toast or baguette. AWESOME appetizer!!!
That sounds soooo good!!!
That sounds delicious!!!🤤
I read this as just cherries!😅 and I was needless to say a bit confused about all the seasonings you used. Garlic and cherries??? I after I read it again I saw you meant cherry tomatoes. 🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣
BECKY!!! You just got a shout out on a channel called "Recky and Carol" from Sweden. Someone sent her a spurtle set and she said she saw it on your channel and she just loves it and your channel.
I bought spurtles because of Becky too- they are our new favorite!❤️❤️❤️
@@mrspaulsen1717 me too AND I gave sets as Christmas gifts to my kids.
We are currently slowly saving 💰 renting a very small house. I’m taking notes 📝. There will come a day *sigh*
Eyes on the prize! You got this!
I just got in from the garden. I harvested 46 lbs of sweet potatoes, and I had a surprise of enough regular potatoes for our dinner tonight! I thought that I got all the regular potatoes (1st year trying to grow them), so tonight I will certainly thank God for the blessing of this small batch of potatoes!
A straw is a great cherry pitter. The plastic ones are sharper and go right through.
This was my first year canning cherries, and I used a stainless straw, worked great.
That's a great idea
I use a chopstick, but I like the little loop thing she has.
@@persiusk That's a good idea, too. Her bobbin pin is also a great idea. I was eating cherries at the park with my toddler and would bite around the pit to share but the straw from my drink made it soooo much easier for me, lol.
Love to see your harvest earlier this summer I had an accident and had to have knee surgery. My garden dried up. It went to waste because i dont have a watering system. I'm so happy to see your bounty.
I have canned cherries just like this and use my almond extract and they turn out wonderful. One of my favorite things to do with canned cherries is to turn it into a compote to pour over crêpes and it is so tasty.
I canned 14 pints of stewed tomatoes this am. It’s so satisfying knowing I’m putting all of this away. Love it.
Just before I sat down to watch this video I took out some tomatoes to can 👌 this time of year is very special
When you know wind is coming water your green stalks and they stay put!🤗
Hello Becky. Hello Acre friends. ❤❤❤
My daughter cans cherries every year and does so many things with them. A fav is baked oatmeal for her family. She has 7 children ages 12 to 2 and all in between. We are so blessed!
Girl …..I wish I had your energy ❤
I think I remember in a video with you and your mom, she gave you a cherry pitter❤❤
That's what I thought too.
Becky I think might have donated it last year 😅
Ever made zucchini patties? Shred, mix with egg & flour & pan fry. Don’t forget S& P. I also add garlic powder. Delicious!
I am in Iowa, and my greenstalk tipped over off of the patio all over the yard during a bad storm. I think next year, I am going to get another base so that I can divide my tower in half and have two shorter towers to not be so susceptible to the winds we get during summer storms. That's what I am going to try anyways!
You could put big stones in bottom of your planter stop it falling over
@@catherinebarlow3079 It was already super heavy from the soil and everything in it. The types of tornado winds we get are just too much for something so tall and pillar like where I live. A shorter stack seems to be the best option to try out next year. Anytime we have a storm like that come up, so much has to get taken down/in or specially secured. It's a task for sure!
We get Santa Ana winds in Southern California. I bought one five tier Greenstalk with one extra layer and one extra top and now I have two 3 layer Greenstalks. Easier for me to handle too.
Oh thst would have made me cry!
@@kathrynriggs2489 It DID make me cry! I lost half of my plants to the trauma of the dump out!
The tomatoes look amazing! How nice to be able to just pop outside and pick what you want from the garden. All the hard work definitely pays off.
The joy of us children when we had pitted cherries for pudding. I don't know if it's a British thing but you count the pips saying 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich man, Poor man, Begger man, Thief' so if you had say 5 pips you would marry a Rich man. Etc
This rhyme took me back to childhood!
Yes you can add extracts to canning jars, have done it for a long time 😊
The herbed potatoes from the “All new Ball book of canning and preserving “ make the best fried potatoes. I use herb de Provence for the herbs. Anyone who eats them loves them. They are very good made into a poutine.
Recommendation for next year is to plant some asters. They are late blooming and add a nice punch for the fall arrangements when your needing a bit more color.
I made the marinated tomatoes the same day you posted the recipe and we loved it! Even my husband, who isn't a big fan of raw tomatoes, liked it. His only suggestion was to add sliced onions. Just picked a bunch more cherry/grape tomatoes and we'll be having it again tonight.
Where did she post it?
A straw works perfect to pit cherries! Happy Canning😊
The garden is looking lovely Becky love the snapdragons and they will grow back next year which is the best xx
The best way to pit cherries... Canned cherries were my Dad's favorite fruit. Guess what!!! My Mother packed the washed cherries into the jar, added the simple syrup, and then processed them. The joy of pitting the cherries happened when we ate them for breakfast. This made time for fun conversations with our Dad, and everyone was left with a little dish of pits. Easy peasy and wonderful memories.
Yep we do the same
@@malsierover182 I always used a large paper clip.
I take my cherries pit put in a jar fill it with alcohol of your choice. Use them for chocolate covered cherries cut up into pieces for ice cream.
Me too!! Also with greengage and damson pies.
We played counting the pips…“Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Rich man, Poor man, Beggar man, Thief” to see who we would each end up marrying. 😂
@Lyrain2212 so you use the pits in your ice cream?
Becky if you love spinach, I found one that can handle hot and cold weather very well. It called Malabar Spinach. It grows on a vine, and will easily cover you cow panel in a lush beautiful vine. The leaves right up to quite large are tender and succulent. Pick small for salads right up to large enough to use as a wrap!
My favorite tomato is fried green tomatoes. I also enjoy a BLT. My brother planted his tomatoes this year. He planted 5 plants and so we being a small family had plenty. Your garden is awesome 😊 you are an amazing inspiration to all of us. Happy planting and harvest 😊.
Hi Becky! Love spending time with you in your garden
Becky,
You can put a cherry by holding them on top of a coke bottle and pushing the pit out with a straw.
Yum! Fried Green Tomatoes!😊❤
Becky is definitely the queen of multi tasking and organization.
Using home canned cherries in baked oatmeal with slivered almonds is AMAZING!
Yes it’s essentially a dessert 😂
Have you ever tried Chinese five spice cherry pickles? You make a vinegar/water/ sugar brine and add Chinese five spice to it. I have a recipe here somewhere. I’d be glad to post it when I can get clear of canning tomatoes.🙄seems like I’ve been doing that forever!
Sounds yummy, please post.
Keep your seeds the freezer. I planted 13 year old seeds this year and they all sprouted & grew.
Hello from the Basque Country! I love your videos! About the peppers you showed us today, here they're called "pimientos choriceros", and you can dry them once they're red, by sewing some peppers together by the stem in a string and hanging them until dried, and rehidrate afterwards in warm water to add the pulp to some stews. It's an essential ingredient in basque traditional cuisine.
I so love your garden, a lot💖
I have been canning up a storm. Ran outside and harvested all the rest of my ripe tomatoes and am in the process of making tomato soup. Harvested almost all of my yin yang beans and they will have to dry the rest of the way in my garage. Now all that's left is cleaning up the garden but it is going to storm for the next few days.
For cherry pitting, I used a metal straw, and it worked great!
When stoning cherries I use a steel drinking straw to push out the stone
Goodmorning Becky! Thank you for brightening our day!
I’m new here and already in love with everything about Becky❣️
She’s such an amazing human being and the best teacher! Thanks Becky♥️
Always a joy to spend time with you, watching and learning! Blessings to you and your's!
I'd love to hear more about growing your eucalyptus! That's something I'd love to grow. Can you include info your your journey planting it and it doing well in a future video (even if just a small part of a video)?
She’s actually shown it several times over the last year or so from start to planting. I wonder if you could search it if it would come up. It’s not necessarily a video just about that but in several videos along with other things. Mostly in her spring videos if that helps.
@@Mel-vu9ss thank you! I've only found her channel in the past couple of months, so I'll see if I can go back and find some videos with the info. I appreciate it!
@@ChicGeekLifeAndBudgets your welcome. I hope you find it.
Make loaded potato skins… bake potatoes once cooked cut in half and scoop out flesh.
Mash with fork and add some butter , heavy cream, grated cheddar and bacon. Add back into the skins.
At this stage you can pop into freezer or bake at 350f for 15/20 mins.
Can cook from frozen and add a few extra mins
So easy for single person.
Hii just to let you know!
Eggs have a natural coating called a “cuticle” or “bloom” that protects the contents from bacteria. When that cuticle is washed off, the semipermeable shell can allow bacteria to pass through and contaminate the contents. So, if you wash the protective coating off the eggs, immediately cook them or store in the fridge.
You garden is beautiful and bountiful. If you know you have an overage on your harvest, it is a good thing-never stress about it. Many people have food insecurity now a days. Consider planting a lot and whatever is too much for family use, consider making baskets and donate to needy family. A local shelter or pantry can help you with it. I use to deliver baskets from home farmers that planted and dedicated the overage to donation, amazing, fantastic, specially seeing the needy elderly so grateful.
You were talking about your romas falling off the vine before they ripen...
I have a close friend who owns a huge farm and grows for the Nashville Farmers Market. He said they will pick their tomatoes when they turn "pink" or just start to no longer look green. He explained that at that point they have received all the nutrients they need from the plant. If you leave it on the plant to turn red your potentially denying nutrients to your plant in either size of the fruit or production. Once you pick the pink fruit, the plant will continue to grow both bigger fruit and/or greater quantities.
Even after decades of gardening, this was completely new to me!!! Thought I'd share!!! Lived your cherries! I made cherries preserves for my sister but never thought about your idea. I may have to do that! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤❤
Oh hi! I was hoping you'd posted a video. I look for your vids regularly. I'm celebrating my birthday, and bought myself the Presto electric canner I've seen you use. WOW do I appreciate the info and use demo. You're great Becks. Thank you!!!
Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉
@@jodifinnegan4453 Thanks! Made it to 75!
A metal straw will work just fine too!
One of my favorite ways to preserve potatoes is dehydrated hash browns. Grate, blanch and then dehydrate. Rehydrate with hot water. Perfect for your breakfast casseroles or funeral potatoes.
700K!!!🎉🎉🎉
Woooow I can’t wait to move to my own land to plant as much as you 🥹
I use a beer bottle but the cherry on the top and I used a chop stick to push the pit into the bottle
That bobby pin is killing it you go girl
Hi Becky ! Thank you for sharing ! I enjoyed watching this video.
a cherry pitter makes things go sooo much faster. However a better alternative to your bobby pin would be a metal straw or chopstick. Something solid. Just push it in and push out the pit on the back of the cherry.
Cherry pitter that can do more than one at a time is definitely better than the Bobby pin, but nothing makes pitting cherries for storage worth it.
@@cindydale3695 Mine does 7 at a time! And yes, it's still a pain! I usually buy a couple bags during cherry season and I make fresh cobblers and a few other things.
Thank you!
Becky my pitter pits cherries and olives. Wonderful to have.
We like canned cherries during the winter in yogurt.
I love canning fruits this way- i make plums with a hint of vanilla and Cinamon, pairs with vanilla, pineapple zucchini, cherries and apricots because it saves me freezer space and the fruits are very useful in the winter for cakes and baked oats and al kinds of sweet desserts...
I love eating fresh raw zucchini with dip. Like carrots and cukes. I blend cottage cheese and Italian herbs and garlic.
Love all the information. Don't know how you do it all. But u are an inspiration ❤
I like putting frozen spinach in Zuppa Tuscana Soup as well as Italian Wedding Soup.
There seem to be many recipes including almond extract with cherries when canning. Enjoy!
The cherries would be delicious on ice cream.
With chocolate syrup 😲😲😲☺️☺️!!!
Congratulations on 700k subscribers. You’re awesome. Your whole family is. Thank you for sharing your journeys. They’ve been entertaining, inspiring, helpful and enriching. It’s been a real pleasure following you.
The rubber thing in your pot is called a Trivet... at least thats what its called in UK.
In US as well 😀
We used to pick cherries when I was a kid the whole family went.. The growers actually had a big putter and would run them through if you asked… But we also had a pitter at home… it made things so much easier!
I've made cherry almond jam before with almond extract. You use a 1/4 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon per jar depending on the size of the jar (because it's so strong).
You are wonderful Becky! Sending blessings to you and your family
Hi Becky 😊 good night from Hungary
Becky, you amaze me. You get so much done and accomplish so much. I need you to write a cookbook, an entertainment prep book and a gardening book. Not much for me to ask.
We always used a paperclip to Pitt cherries. My grandparents had 7 cherry trees and we would climb the trees to pick the cherries. I have wonderful memories on their farm.
I live in France. Our eggs are not refrigerated in the grocery store and I keep mine on my counter. I love it as my eggs are ready to go when I bake.
The best cherry pitter is a metal straw.
Fun little projects add up to big accomplishments ! . Have been indoors for day 3 now and kids home from school due to the wildfires in Southern California. We are not in danger but have lots of smoke and ash . I’ve been doing little indoor projects. And feel set for another week ahead .
use a straw to pit your cherry. just push the straw right down through the center of the cherry.
It was always my job to put the cherries when I was a kid.
Yep, metal straw. 🍒🍒🍒
A big bag of pitted cherries would be great for this job, too. Also, I had some freeze-dried zucchini to use up. I tried the zucchini flour in cornbread and it is delish!
As for adding extracts to your cherries or other fruits….I’ve seen jam recipes that call for vanilla, peaches that call for almond extract so I think it would be just perfectly fine to add almond extract to your cherries….canning fruit in simple syrup is very safe…extracts just add flavour it won’t compromise anything.
I am so jealous of your garden. In my area we have had three floods and they took my garden out. It also took out my outdoor refrigerator went out with about 30 pounds of tomato’s and about 10 pounds of peppers. I did not know that it did that. I love your gardens every year
Sorry that you lost all that goodness after ur hard work too. Blessings to u
I made those marinated tomatoes that night--AND LIFE CHANGING!! They were sooo good. I had them on sour dough bread I toasted. I just went out on lunch and picked the last sun goldens off my vine to finish up the bread.
Which video did she do those marinated tomatoes? It's not in the description and I don't remember, I can't find it !
Green tomatoes makes a great chutney.
Pitting the cherries is definitely a chore for patients. I enjoy your videos!😊
Put a cherry 🍒 on the opening of a pop bottle. Push a straw through it. Easy as cherry pie. 🍒 😆 lol
I am student studying food technology and food preservation and ur videos r both fun and informative....tqsm
Wow, love the vacuum sealed tomato preservation! I have 1-2 pints of sungold ripening each week. They will taste great in January!
Large metal straw works fantastic as a cherry “pitter” I had my doubts but it really does work!
Hello Becky
Please try this
Marrochino cherry pie and also Marrochino cherry cheesecake
Delicious great for a dinner party xx
Loved seeing this update. Especially all the planters on the patio. Never thought of doing the 🍒 Cherries that way. What a fantastic treat. I'm thinking Vanilla Ice Cream Topping. Yumm!
That bobby pin was so clever!!
When it gets cold, we take and boil chicken, beef neck bones or pork neck bones with a variety of vegetables and put, cabbage, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and zucchini. When done serve with corn or flour tortillas and lemon and cilantro.
This soup(calico) is very good when your sick
Sorry it was supposed to to say caldo
Becky, might I suggest making Fried Green Tomatoes with some of those beautiful tomatoes still on the vine. I’m not a native Georgian so was skeptical, but they are DELICIOUS.
I’ve been pulling my tomatoes once they start to blush and I have racks set up by my patio door for them to ripen before I freeze them. Mine have been falling too.
Thanks Becky and thank all that gave other tips for food storage!
Try fried green tomatoes you can freeze them just remember to cook them frozen
