For future reference, when using the slicer on your food processor, lift the entire oval part out and feed your veggies through the oval opening using the oval plunger to push the veggies down on the blade. The smaller round hole and plunger is for feeding liquids and small bits like garlic into the processor.

I've been meaning to recommend moving your trellises about 3 or 4 inches from the edge of the bed so you can plant your tomatoes on the outside edge of the bed to make tying up the vines and harvesting easier. It will take so much strain off of your back.

I just made a gallon sized freezer bag of mirepoix (50% onion, 25% celery and 25% carrot) to put in the freezer for future soups, stews and casseroles. It takes 15 minutes to do, saves time when cooking and is always ready for a quick soup for dinner. I love doing this and have done it for years. I also freeze chopped onions but never considered freezing carmelized onions. That will be a project for tomorrow. Thanks Becky!❤️

@bjrdesign07 10 месяцев назад

Do you blanch the carrots or put them in raw? This would be a great way to keep my carrots and celery from going bad in the fridge. Thanks for the idea!!

Hi Becky, If you grow the purple tomatillos and want to use them, The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving has a delicious Roasted Tomatillo-Chipotle Salsa that has enough red from the chilis that the purple color won't matter and will probably add to the salsa color.

@jeanrichards8042 10 месяцев назад

@jodieh4739 10 месяцев назад

I made it for the first time this year and it's SO good. I little spicier with the chipotles in it but it's perfect for enchiladas for my family. I also poured it over eggs and used it as a sauce in a couple things. I've made a few tomatillo recipes and this is my new favorite.

Hi everyone, Debbie Lavigne here. I made the curry soup recipe from Becky last evening. OMG, so delicious. My husband really enjoyed his dinner. I actually made the exact same salsa verde as Becky did two months ago. It's a fantastic recipe. I do have a similar recipe for caramelized onions that you freeze. The difference is the addition of bacon. We like it on hamburgers. I believe it's called a onion and bacon jam that you freeze. I'm enjoying learning new things in the kitchen. Have a great day.

I pour a jar of salsa verde over 3 or 4 frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot and cook it on low for about 6 hours. We use this for chicken burritos. It is my go to easy recipe for when we have to feed a lot of people. Super easy, everyone loves it and I just cook up some beans, rice and have cheese, sour cream etc out and everyone can make their own burritos with whatever they like.

@BethRanck 10 месяцев назад

FYI lesson on tomatillo stickiness. I found an article online that states, "Turns out that this sticky substance is a natural deterrent against insects. If any insects get through the papery husk, the tomatillo’s first line of defense, they encounter the sticky film. This film contains chemical compounds called withanolides that insects find bad tasting. So voila, they leave the tomatillos alone!"

Becky you need a small rotary slicer grater with a turn handle. Like you I had a square grater with different sizes on each side and a hand zested plane. No grater with a handle and my husband saw one on another RU-vidr’s cooking channel. The kind with round drums that each grate differently and WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE! And I am 71!

i trim off the root end, then cut my garlic cloves in half the long way, then twist the cloves. the papers come right off. if my fingers get sticky i just rinse them off. having a flat side for the garlic cloves make them so much easier to cut up. when i crushed the cloves with a knife before i peeled them, thats when my fingers got really sticky. it rarely happens the other way.

I used the sun gold and Juliet varieties because I wanted a fun sweet end product and it worked! I also dehydrated lots for ‘sundried’ tomatoes too. Thanks for sharing your kitchen adventures with me!

What do you use tomato powder in?

@Scrappadeedooda 10 месяцев назад

Hi @@leighdegenhardt485 ! I use tomato powder in soups, sauces, and even dried seasoning/spice mixes. I’ve put some in a bowl and added a little water to it and it turns into tomato paste. With that in mind, if I add it to my soup or tomato sauce dry it will also act to thicken it up. I love it. (Not to mention, the sun gold powder is almost like a powdered candy… so yummy!)

@leighdegenhardt485 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the info! Do you think the tomato skins could just be regularly dehydrated and then ground up?

@mustwereallydothis 10 месяцев назад

I live in the far north. We pull the entire plants up by the roots and put them in cardboard boxes in our garage when the first frost hard is predicted. That gives the fruits at least a few extra days to ripen on the vine. We just cover the plants with old blankets and quilts for light frost.

Becky, read the manual of your Cuisinart. My machine looks the same as yours except white so it may be a different model, Anyway, if you pinch the back of the feed chute, it releases the pusher making an opening big enough for your onions. I use my pressure canner to water bath process as well. Like you say one less big piece of equipment I don't have to store. The advantage of using the pressure canner is there's no need to empty and clean the stock pot before you can begin processing.

@lisadavis330 10 месяцев назад

Wow! What I'm most impressed with is how you didn't seem to cry once whike cutting all those onions! Amazing! I'm definitely going to chop onions for the freezer... And will need to grow tomatillos next year!

@AZJH8374 10 месяцев назад

Onions on sale would be nice! Here in AZ, they are .98c ea. Ugh! That's for regular Safeway bought yellow onions! Another ugh! I'm making your stuffing/chicken recipe today & the cream cheese/chicken stuffed puffed pastry. I'm excited to get started, but you are on, so it will have to wait! I've NEVER purchased puffed pastry. This should be interesting! Prayers for your mom & dad for safe travels! 🙏🏻

You need to take out the small oval feeder on the food processor that will give you a bigger hole to feed through

@huevosatld 10 месяцев назад

I was surprised that you put the raw onions directly in the freezer bags. I always assumed they'd freeze into a hard chunk, so I always froze my onions on a tray first, then put them in freezer bags. -Sharon

@houseoflilacs 10 месяцев назад

Yes, wondering about this, too.

@melaniecaron4264 10 месяцев назад

Mine always freeze in one hard chunk if I don't freeze on a tray first, I also use parchment for easy removal.

@karenthomas1456 10 месяцев назад

If that happens I bash the bag against a cupboard or fling on the floor (as long as the opening is securely closed) and they usually break up fine. Save yourself a step.

Vidalia onion's have a short growing season and do not dry store very good. They are the sweetest onion and make the best caramelized onions that freeze well, with clarified butter!

@abridges68 9 месяцев назад

Trick for you-make "Toasted Onion Powder" after you dehydrate or freeze dry your onions, toast them lightly brown in the oven before you grind. Completely changes the flavor profile and it's aha mazing! I even put it on a regular turkey sandwich. It's a game changer tho and I promise you'll love it. Do it with garlic as well. I get dried minced onion from Costco for a quick batch cause I can't live without it.

The purple tomatillos are considered sweet and are used in baking, try them in a tort (like plums).

@denisetaylor8552 10 месяцев назад

Becky, Our garden group here in Michigan grow both varieties of tomatillos. The purple tomatillos are a mildly sweet almost pineapple flavor. I made jam with them last year, it was delicious 😋😋

@thecitysteadkitchen 10 месяцев назад

@lindseydensmore393 10 месяцев назад

Hey Becky, I know this is totally random and not the type of thing you normally have on your channel so if you don’t want to thats totally fine. But I was wondering if you could do a quick clip in one of your videos on how you put up your hair. I have looked at your up hairdo for so long and it just looks so nice but I’m not totally sure how you do it. I love getting to watch your videos I’m always so excited when I see you have uploaded. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into sharing your garden and kitchen adventures with us!!

@jeannamcgregor9967 10 месяцев назад

Great timing! I took out my tomatillos last week and need to get them all out of the freezer. But I'll be roasting/broiling mine...I love the smoky flavor that imparts to the salsa. And yes, the purple ones will turn faded green when cooked, plus they have never been as productive for me so I stopped growing them.

@dravonwalker2352 9 месяцев назад

I had a glut of onions one year and did the dice-&-freeze method but put them in 1-cup increments. That has worked out so well! Highly recommend. Looking forward to getting a freeze drier for next year. 🤞🤞🤞

@msjulsfl 8 месяцев назад

I had one in the 80's. It was tedious. It looks much easier from what I've seen here.

@GandCFamilyFarms 10 месяцев назад

Becky, you can also make tomato paste from your freeze-dried tomato skin powder. Just add water to the amount of powder you want to use until it's a tomato paste consistency.

@AutumnLeighatHome 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for always inspiring me to try new things! I came from a family that mainly used premade freezer meals and knew nothing about gardening or canning. I have loved learning g all of this a now feel inspired to help teach others as well! Thank you 😊

@rosemarymclean5326 10 месяцев назад

If you save the root section piece of your onions you can replant them to have more onions without it costing you again. Just keep them and plant them when you get several or a bunch of the onion roots. You will always have onions. I keep mine and my husband replants them and it saves us money along the way.

@sarahkotlinski6143 10 месяцев назад

@susieq2544 10 месяцев назад

When you’re cooling something on a plate like those onions, Clear a CZirkle in the middle and you have cut in half the size of the platter of onions. That way they cool from the center and the sides.
