Hearth Cooking 1808 Stewed Beef & Almond Cookies 

Jumbals are a kind of cookie that resembles a butter cookie or a mildly sweet sugar cookie. To bake with white flour, white sugar and almonds is a luxury. Our house is in financial stress as of late so once we run out of our reserves of these things I am not sure if we will be making jumbals again.

With the past year and a half of major changes in our world for all of us, it's refreshing to watch a time of less technology and just watch and enjoy a couple cooking in a kitchen.

“Is there anything else you’d like me to do dear” so cute!!! 🥰

I'm sure I can spare twenty minutes to watch another video before bed. Also it's great to see Justine and Ron working together after that business with Lafayette.

I love the absence of plastic bowls and the natural sounds of cooking and the fireplace. It’s a perfect cooking show for me! Plus there’s historic information and interesting relationships. I’m so delighted to have found this. Thank you.

I’m loving these videos as someone who’s addicted to living histories. Really well done. Ron and Justine are a great ship, as the kids say.

I watched Ron pick those turnips from his garden on his channel. Nice to see both channels coincide. I know you said you started out as a cooking channel but it looks like its become so much more! Thanks for what you do.

I can see why people fell love with each other... they actually talked and got to know one another!

The real healthy food, no preservatives, no chemicals. I remember when I was a little girl my mom and her friend cooking on charcoal. The food was so delicious 😋👌

Seeing Justine and Ron together cooking and the kiss put a smile on my face! 💕

This is adorable. My ancestors came here in 1627 when there were less that a thousand people in boston and dad wrote a history on it when he retired. I can picture them all living a lot like this and in fact my grandma talked about turnips and onions and potatoes like that was all she ever ate as a child.

I love the kitchen sounds! I was hoping Ron would show up with those turnips I saw him harvest from his garden! I liked seeing him help Justine. Another great video!

I am so glad we have butter available at the supermarket. All this work to make butter…but then again I am quite sure they did not have to deal with being kept away from their work by internet and TV…it was a different time…back then…

This channel is a perfect one for those, like me, who are interested in history, culture and people's living. Thank you so much😚

“Please don’t tell Mr. Stephenson that I was using his bayonette as a cookie cutter” LOL 😆

Hes is such a gentleman and kind to her.

Almond jumbles. How interesting, they date to the time Nicolaus Creswell wrote his journal of journeys in the 1770's, which I am currently reading. Fascinating. Lovely video ! Thank you.

How sweet, the love birds cooking together 😍😍

Nice to see Justine and Ron working together, sweet. 💕

Really shows how hard most women of that era worked. No long nails then! 🤣 I love cooking and I look forward to each episode. Thank you and please please keep these going 🤞 One day we will be watching you all on TV🍿 🎥 🙌 😁

This is only the 2nd video I have seen on this channel. I’m hooked for life. Early in this video I couldn’t help noticing that Ron and Justine had some chemistry going on. Are they together/courting/married? Years ago there was an expression “he’s/she’s sweet on you”. They are a cute couple. No children yet, I noticed....unless someone is taking care of them for her. I am 67 and I love learning about how people lived in their time. She appears to be an excellent cook. I am vegetarian and lactose intolerant so, I’m pretty sure those weren’t options back then. It seems their diet has lots of veggies, so I’m happy about that. She cooks with small amounts of meat. Even though the life expectancy at the time was not very long, people weren’t usually fat. They ate simple, healthy food, worked hard and kept in good shape. No gym memberships for these people. I think the reason people today live longer is almost certainly because of good/better health care. But, if you eat crap, you’re going to feel like crap.

Keep cooking, guys! I’m coming right over!

I love watching what wasn't done done back then , and I love Ron and Justine 🥰

Reminds me of my mother’s kitchen where all was peace and quiet and the aromas of baking wafted through the house.

An entire video could be made of annual rose water production. Even if the house is under financial distress, roses are roses and the water would still get made. Ron hunting for the family, even if he scored only turnips today, is a nice touch. Good that they had the beef already. Ron will certainly endear himself to the Stephensons if he contributes to their table and there were lots of dietary strategies the family would have used to get through hard times. It's also good to see that Ron is good in the kitchen, bodes well for their future. Oh, I can hardly wait for the next episodes.

Why do I find this so fascinating??? The real hero here is the superb quality of the audio and video equipment back in 1808! Amazing.

Ron and Justine make a lovely couple!

Não entendo o que eles falam mas amo assistir, é maravilhoso vê ela fazer tudo com tanto zelo e cuidado, parabéns pra vocês dois .

Wow I am impressed, a man doing dishes! I love this channel!

I recently decoverd your channel and am so glad I did... Its beautifully made and it's extremely interesting and very informative... Thank you so much and keep up the amazing work you all do.. I also absolutely love the costumes.. I'd love to visit and take a tour but I live in England UK swindon. So your videos are an absolute godsend... Thank you 🤗😊

Oh wow ……. Ron brought turnips that he grew. I love how Ron always come around in the kitchen and help out. I have a feeling that Ron gonna become successful for farm products with big house for Justine in 2 years. 🥰🥰

Love this couple, Ron is a good guy and Justine is adorable she’s so honest and does what she wants

Thanks for the recipe 😊 beautiful couple

I absolutely love that Ron and Justine are allowed to court. Mrs. Stephens did wonderfully to help raise her and I'm glad she trusts her. Does Justine know how to make breads?

I love watching and listening to Justine cook. You two work well together. A cookie cutter is a much better use of a bayonet anyway.

I wish these 2 crazy kids nothing but the best. I like watching them for the recipes and the calm..but, I adore Justine and Rons love for her. And while Im aware this is ONLY pretend, i hope I can follow them along for a couple more years!

Justine, the Almond Jumbals look delicious! Nevermind about using Mr Stephenson's bayonet... all recipes have something of a "secret ingredient". Good day to you.

Every thing looked delicious. I liked seeing Ron help out in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure back then men didn't think it was their job.

Love the banter about yourselves as you cook.... now its a cooking drama....lol

This is such a wonderful series. What a pleasure to watch. The sounds of the kitchen are what really make it great, and everything looks so delicious. The Ron and Justine story is the icing on the cake for excellence. Bravo and thank you so much for posting these.

Watching these relaxes me after a nice evening walk with my dog then a nice bath.

I saw Ron harvest those turnips....I was hoping he would bring them to you. Looks delish!

I really enjoy watching you doing all theses recipies. It's so relaxing and remind me of my grand aunt in Brittany making her own butter.

That table in that kitchen is a harvest table I have one in my kitchen as the same age around 1818 or something like that. It was at an auction that got it. Thanks for sharing your history here. 😊 I forgot to say it has draws on both end table like the head of the table, I collect old kitchen stuffs, small or large.

I feel like I've stumbled on a random episode of The Young and the Restless and I have no clue what's going on, but I'm riveted! 😁

I love the fireplace in the way the oven is built-in I would love to be able to have a diagram of that do replicated in my old farmhouse

I like the way Justine is wearing her hair. It looks so pretty when she pulls it up. 😊

What a lovely dish. Cookies look yummy too. Be well. Ron try to remember that guys name so you can find the other fella to help with the land grant.

If I lived in your area I would knock on your door and say please put another place setting for me cuz I want to come to your house for dinner. That meal looks amazing. You two make a real sweet couple. And I hope things turn around for you folks. I really love your channel so much. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

I knew Ron would “Turnip” to see his beautiful Justine. hehe 😉 🥰

I’ve actually watched my great grandmother churn butter. What an awesome memory, right?

I love those crocks and bowls😍 especially the blue and white ones…measuring by eye like my Mom did 👍🏻 those oven fires seem really hard to gauge timing and temperatures…mashed turnips are delicious with that homemade butter 🧈 a blade of mace..🤔 what’s that? I know what mace is as seasoning but a blade of mace🤔Ron is a great little helper…I like Kandye..hope we see more of her and her pub

All these videos are marvellous. Bravo from Greece I really wonder, that we, at that time, a people like the Greeks, were slaves, without an identity and rights to education and development, while all of Europe was developing in all areas, in education, in the arts, in the sciences, and we were freed in 1821 after 400 years of slavery.

Justine, you are a hard worker. I hope they appreciate you. You food looks wonderful. Ron is a good man. ❤️

Ron...The Spoon Twirling Wonder! :)

wow..its new upload again.I love it eventough i'm not American

While watching this, its currently 4:18 AM, I'm a night owl, I paused it to go get some veggies cut for dinner later. This video gave me my meal plan for today -- slow cooked beef with veggies. Its not too hot, but I don't want to do too much today. I chopped up some greens, chopped up the stems of the greens because it will give crunch like celery, plus I don't like celery. Chopped celery, parsley, and green onion to go with it. Later I'll do the onion and garlic. I plan to add some cloves to it, and also turnips if I can find small ones from the grocery today. Thanks for the meal idea!

It was great watching you work together. Ron you are so sweet with Justine.

I just LOVE this channel & have learned so much from it as well : ) A Big Thank-you to 'all' involved in the making of these ! So Cute about the Bayonet as a Cookie Cutter ... so enjoy these videos : )

This is such a lovely picture of the two of you, everything the colors the composition, everything!!

I made butter like that at a historical working farm in New Hampshire..me and a little boy also did the wash with an ancient washer and wring dryer...we were photographed and landed on page 1 of the Arts & Culture section of the local newspaper..was so much fun!!😊💕💯🌼🌻

Absolutely loooove this!😍💃 Wonderful to watch and listen to your entire process of cooking as well as all uses of early american utensils, kitchen habits, cookware over the awesome wood fire and oven uses👌🔥 And so very much enjoyed watching the two of you cook together! That was so sweet💕 I must say, it Spikes the interest in watching☺ Ron is such a kind supportive man by your side as you are a wonderful beautiful wife to be, and a great cook💃 Can't wait to see more of these united moments and cooking activities! Love you guys!❤

Early American I enjoy reading the recipes because I love how things are worded. It reminds me of an English friend I had while living in Florida.

I love country style.Everything is made of solid wood, earth brown colors.Such natural🥰

I love the incorporation of cooking with the story line. The beef dish would be excellent today as it probably was then. Please keep everything going! This is one of the best channels out there and I love every minute of it

That little kiss was too cute 🥰. Can’t wait to see your wedding.

How sweet! What a charming world. My new binge for sure. Best wishes from England!!

Lovely adored watching this, thank you ❤

Love all the crock wear especially the colander. You cook like my Grandmother she didn't have cookie cutters and she never measured anything.

Очень уютный домик.💖хозяйка золушка💖💖💖💖💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I would have watched this during the lockdown!

Ron you are quick with the compliments and a helping hand

I'm watching 20 questions by viewers. We need to love our past. Keep up your hard work with cooking love story Please!!!

Love all the kitchen ware of this time, just beautiful. Justine, what are you thinking as you prepare? Always a joy. In Joy

Ron's quite handy in the kitchen and elsewhere. Good Job Justine!

Good day to you thankyou for this lovely recipe beef stew yummy and the almond cookies and please be careful with newly sharpened knife 🔪 I r😇

I just stumbled upon your videos this evening and have watched nearly 2 hours of video! Thank you so much for all you do!

This is really cool to watch.

"Why does my gun smell like cookies whenever I fire it?"

Food looks great, I'm sure people were thankful for everything.

Thank you for posting. Love this channel.

Thank you for another wonderful video. I really enjoy watching them.

Love watching .

Awe. It's so nice to see Justine and Ron together. And I like the cooking episodes.

One of the cutest and most comforting videos on RU-vid. ❤️

Well, this answers the question I had after watching a different recipe that used butter. Very glad to see you churn your own to be historically accurate (and for our entertainment. 😉)

I love how she puts everything down super gently lol.

You guys have excellent audio quality in these videos! I love all of the sounds because they’re so different than the sounds made in modern kitchens today. Beautiful lightning and camera work, too! Might I suggest adding in some music that would’ve been popular at the time? I think that would add the perfect touch to your beautiful videos. And link to a recipe or write it out in the video description? Love your videos, though, such an interesting channel!

I have watched a few of your videos and I love them! I decided to subscribe. I just watched her making almond cookies and beef stew. I really enjoy seeing the utensils and kichenware....and she has such a kind and helpful husband!

The old kitchen style gives impressive and unique look and this extrmly beautiful .

O bunătate. Stiam ce face.DUMNEZEU SA NE BINECUVINTEZE PE TOTI CU ÎNȚELEPCIUNE SA STIM CE MÎNCĂM. SI CU SANATATE PE TOȚI..

Very unique channel . Great idea to have a channel in this concept

Really enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work. Hope Justine & Ron go visit "Jeff" soon!

Thank you so much for another wonderful video, I got a big surprise to see another video so soon and I have grown so fond of all the people on your channel. The food always looks so good too.
