@charlottebailey1024 Год назад

TIP: I think of sharing this every time you grate zucchini. Leave the ends on instead of cutting it off first- that way the piece that is too small to grate (without losing bits of your finger) is the end piece you're left to compost instead of a piece of the flesh that you want to use. Just a thought🥰

@MzrtMusic Год назад

I caramelized 20 pounds of onions in a big roaster, then I freeze dried them. They are AMAZING. They rehydrate beautifully, and they are excellent as crouton type crunchy bits on soups, salads, etc. Or they are good as just a snack. I used a tiny bit of water, and a very small amount (about 1/4 c) of butter for the whole 20 pounds of onions.

I'm sure you know this but I'll tell you anyway. Do NOT store onions and potatoes together as the onions will cause the potatoes to sprout much faster than if the spuds are on their own. I now store my onions in a separate area from my potatoes and my potatoes last much, much longer. I tell you just in case you are unaware.

When I was in Ukraine they served veraniki as either potato, meat or fruit and were all boiled. The potato ones were served with sour cream, so very yummy.

@user-eg1kz9og7s Год назад

I always wonder, why they are called pierogi ruskie, because "pirog" means a pie in Russian, and this dish is called "vareniki" from the word "varit'" - to cook in the boiling water. I also recommend to add some diced fried mushrooms in the potato filling. And also adding the butter that way is right. The water or milk have to infiltrate into the flour particles, and butter doesn't allow them to do this when added before. Sorry for my English it's my second foreign language.

Every day I get up and look for a video from you! I grew up with a true master gardener. Everything that came out of our gardens (our back yard, grandma’s next door, the neighbors on the other side of grandma’s) was canned and preserved. Everything. We were dirt poor and that is what we had for the whole winter and into spring. I didn’t know what it was like to have a tomato in the winter. I never had a tin can of green beans or corn until I got out on my own. And…I hated all of it. Every single bit. Until I met my first husband many years ago. When we bought our acreage, I planted everything. I canned everything. It was just the two of us,but, I did it. When he died, I gave it all away. I wanted nothing to do with it. Then, I met Jeff. He and I grew up on eating garden produce, fresh chicken and beef. I still do not can meat, but he loves it. Yes, we got married, put in a huge garden and I started canning again. He does not like vegetables but I still grow and can them. We have been together for 20 years now and watching your videos on preserving has gotten me to loving my canner, dehydrator and anything that helps that process. Thank you so much for renewing my love of preservation.

It's so refreshing to see someone who loves onions and garlic as much as I do. I agree...you can never use too many onions. The amount of flavor they impart can never be overstated. There's nothing more frustrating than when a friend or family member tells me they made one of my recipes but it "wasn't as good" or "didn't taste the same." Almost inevitably, they didn't use as much onion or garlic or other aromatic that I put in the recipe. Lol. SMH.

Now that I will be 60 in December I have made thousands of them through my lifetime but where I used to just use a glass to cut out the dough and then crimp the edges or twist and roll the edges I have since bought myself a dumpling press and the package came with like four different sizes so now I have them for making hors d'oeuvres size, Chinese dumplings or wontonssize, pierogies size, and even Fried Pie size.. So much easier I just rolled my pasta sheets out and then flip open The Dumpling maker press down on the dough and it makes a circle and then just put it in the dumpling press put the filling in press it down and voila it's done please hands are starting to cramp at this age after a few hundred at a time LOL

My grandmother was a wise woman and a great cook and baker. She gave me lots of advice over the years and one I will always remember is always try a recipe with the instructions, ingredients and amounts as written at least twice. This will tell you if it is something you like or if you want to change it to your own taste but it is not fair to decide if it needs changing if you never used the original recipe. Then write down the changes so if you want to reproduce it or change it you know what you did in the first place! I have found, for me, she was correct. I always think I know best what I should do with a recipe but I really can’t know if I am improving it if I don’t do it the original way, if I never gave it a chance to start. I think she gave me this advice because she was a Guinea pig for some of my “improved” concoctions !

Becky, it is "pierogi", without the "s", since it is already plural (one is "pieróg"). There are many recipes for the dough for pierogi in Poland, and over the years I have tried various ones, but to me using the food processor makes it much faster and easier. The recipe I love is to mix the flour, salt, and butter in the processor (like for a pie crust) and then add boiling water...You can also mix mashed potatoes, onions, AND farmers' cheese in a filling. Pierogi done this way are very tasty... So, the addition of some parmesan will be good. Also, you can saute some chopped bacon, or extra onions to pour over cooked pierogi...even better 😋 You can stuff pierogi with any filling you want. During the summer season in Poland pierogi stuffed with strawberries, or blueberries (mixed with a little bit of sugar and potato starch to be not too runny) and served with fresh cream and sugar are very popular. YUM!

OMG!! Not only do we see how wonderful it is to turn a huge harvest of potatoes into delicious perogies but I’m also happy to know what you added to make a delicious complete meal. Another awesome takeaway from this share is to not throw away the onion broth and add to homemade tomato soup. I love the harvest season and have learned things that inspired me to buy seeds. I have to grow on a much smaller scale. I bought flower seeds as well to mingle in with the vegetables. Love the way it looks in your garden! Feel grateful to see and hear you say when things don’t exactly turn out just as you planned. But then you immediately say “but that’s okay”, then you show how workable things continue to be. 🌻

Thanks Becky! I too love caramelized onions, we (I, my mum, her mum etc) also put them in our mashed potatoes. Tip for your cutting rounds: put the cutters all nested together on a piece of paper, draw a line around each of them, write the measurements down and keep this paper in inside the tin. That way you can always quickly find the right size.

When you get ready to process a large amount of garlic I have found that separating the cloves and then soaking them in cool water for about half an hour makes them easier to peel. Definitely softens the peels so they aren’t as hard on my hands, and keeps the peels more intact while removing them instead of them breaking into frustrating bits. One nice benefit of freeze drying your pierogi filling us that if you decide to make some more pierogis later, you will only have to make dough & reconstitute filling. I think I’ve heard of dry cottage cheese as the cheese addition to potato dumplings of some variety, but parmesan sounds like a great choice. An idea for next time you want to use something homegrown before you’ve weighed it for a total harvest is to just keep a food scale and a running tally of the food and how much of it you’ve already used of it in the same area where you’re storing it. Then later when you might have more free time you can add up what’s left plus what has already been removed and used. In my experience when you have a set of cutters like your round ones they almost always have their individual sizes stamped on them somewhere. I can’t wait to see how you and Josh continue to make the new homestead your own. =)

I heard you can put the onions into a dutch oven with a lid into a hot oven for an hour to caramelize. Stir every 15 minutes. Still less babysitting then on the stove. If too many onions, they'll crowd and "boil", not caramelize. Adding salt to early in the process with make them sweat (and cause the pan to get watery, not the goal) so salt later, after caramelized.

As a Polish person I can say that pierogi are delicious and something that everyone would have watched their grandma or mum make them, the whole kitchen being covered in little dough rounds and it would take hours, it wasn't a difficult job but was time consuming although everything was done by hand so took hours but they were always something the whole family looked forward to. They were so comforting and delicious, different flavours and some of them were eaten with red barszcz which is beetroot soup for anyone who doesn't know, minced meat would typically be in those but there other fillings, I loved them but I'm sure everyone had their favourite flavour. I haven't ever made them funnily enough but I wonder if bread flour is best instead of other types of flour, bread flour for other types of dumplings or pasta, i wonder if anyone has tried this.

Becky, have you tried luban for your cucumbers? Easy way use Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic and peppermint leaves crushed. I use dried peppermint. The lemon juice is to taste, we like it lemony so we add quite of bit of lemon juice. You can even use it as a salad dressing or a dipping sauce for just about anything.

@karenruise9275 Год назад

A trick I found for making caramelized onions came from a recipe for French onion soup. Put a little bit of oil or butter in your crockpot and fill it with sliced onions. Let them cook on low for 12-14 hours (I think once I did almost 24 hrs). They end up a dark caramelized color that are perfect for whatever you want. They cook down a ton and went so quickly in our family. Seeing this makes me want to make more. Those perogies look awesome. You always make me want to be more adventurous with my cooking.

@Ann-md8pu Год назад

Always consider if you can cut the dough into squares rather than stamping out circles. There is no waste, and it's much faster. In the final pirogies, the difference between the ones made by folding circles and the ones folded from cut squares is too small to matter. ---------------------- Also, the extra mashed potatoes can be cooked as fried potato cakes (thick small patties) to serve with sour cream, or dropped into deeper oil to make potato pancakes.
