Making Pickled Wild Garlic (Ransoms) in a Woodland 

I really admire how you keep your product reviews separate from your adventure videos alot of other channels feel more like an infomercial. Your channel is wholesome and fun.

Definitely going to do this. We have loads of wild garlic in the woods next to us, great idea. Thanks Andy

I'd show this video to my dad. But he smells like garlic all the time as it is. Thanks for the sweet content as always.

Andy. We call them Leeks or Ramps here in the US. I just harvested a good amount with my daughters a few days ago. We pickle the bulb (root), and make pesto out of the leaves (olive oil, almonds, lemon, salt, pepper, parmesean). I guess that I have never used the bulbs....hmm... I can't tell you why. Yummy, anyways and always!! Nice to see you, Cheers!! Derek.

Never tried the buds pickled before. Great idea and will be giving it a try.

Perfect 👌🏻 thank you for sharing. 🥰

It's nice to come back to this channel after a long time.

🥭🥭 Pickled foods are great! I used to love pickled mango, but had to cut back due to health issues (not from the pickled mango). Those were the days. 🥭🥭

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing Andy. Love seeing new videos pop up. Can't stress how much I love your channel, it really brightens my day. I wish you nothing but the absolute best!!!! Take care.

Nice one. Fermentation is also worth exploring.

Hi Andy!! I've been watching your videos with my partner most evenings (he's been a subscriber for a long time) and ive really been enjoying your content. Your voice is very relaxing and it's always a good watch, whichever video we decide to watch. Just wanted to say keep up the great work and will look forward to the next videos!! 👍😁😁

In Texas wild garlic, our variety is called “Allium Vineale”, is considered an invasive species. That doesn’t seem to affect the taste. Keep up the good work.

Hi from Canada its Doreen love yr smoker and ur awesome meals ...looking forward to more videos this ... God bless u yr friend Doreen 👍😎❤

I sure miss you between vids. Yours are so peaceful and and calm, even with an ax

Just LOVE IT to see notifications from this brilliant channel👌 Keep up the good work Andy👍👍

I really enjoyed that. I’d be interested in seeing you doing more pickling and preserving ♥️👍

WOW ... just *FANTASTIC* 🔥 the week is full filled with Andy's adventures 🔥🤠 👍 Big thumbs up from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Cheers !!!

Thanks, Andy. Looks great. 👍🙂😋

Well done! Our season for Ramson is starting, I am planning to make one dish as well! Nice video! Bon appetit :)

I didn't know you can eat the buds you learn something new everyday 😁👍

Amazing! Just what I needed. Keep them coming.

Well done mate

Love this channel, you are always in a very chill mood. Another Great video - Thanks!

That looks good. I didn't know you could pickle them. One for the future. Mark

Stisfyng bruh, nice to meet you from Indonesia 🔥

Nice mate, something different, makes your channel constantly interesting to see these different vids. Keep it up.

Smashing video Andy. I've never had wild garlic. I must go on the hunt for some :)

Brilliant Andy, looking forward to trying this

Loved this video! 👍🏼💕👍🏼

Nice one, must admit never heard of that one....... Will be off out to find a patch to pick from

Great video keep up the good work

Love to see you and Simon catch some fish and smoke them.If not buy some fish it would be great to get your new smoker cracking

I've just been working in an old medieval woodland in Cornwall, the smell of the wild garlic starts to become sickly rather quickly haha. Great video Andy, always got time to watch the content. 🤠

Brilliant 👏

That looks good. Great idea.

I love foraging, and wild garlic is great for pesto( which I know you made in a more recent video). It was great to see you show the whole process, including sterilizing the jar. I've missed the timing for flower buds, so that's for me next year!

Great video! Absolutely loved it. I appreciate the effort gone into this a RU-vidr myself. Very informative and inspirational. Keep up the great work

Looks delish!

Nicely done Andy👌😎

Lovely to see you do something a little different, Andy. Will definitely look out for ransoms on my walks now. Cheers.

OMG Andy this look so good!

That looks really good, i must try it. In Oregon and Washington state, they call them ramps. Try brushing the buds and stems with evoo, then grill them over charcoal. An excellent veggie!

Interesting- not seen that done before 👍👍

brilliant video, i love wild garlic and looking forward to march/april now to have a go at making it myself

Enjoy watching another amazing video from Andy's channel great filming Andy.

Very interesting Andy.

Andy...love your video

Brilliant. .. I like mine in a cheese sandwich. .. must try this never thought of doing it......

I love my trangia kit I really don't use it enough tho . Another good one Andy 👍

this was great gives more more ideas of things to try as me and my kids did some garlic bread and cheese and garlic scones for our channel and this week i made dandelion sugar candies thanks for sharing maybe one i would love to meet you and learn from you in person i think your great.

WOW! And yum! 👍😉🇨🇦🌕

We picked some other day leaves and stems too though goes lovely in a salad please do more foraging videos I'm new to scrounging the land 😊

We have something similar in the States called ramps. We fry them in oil. Oh, so strong

THUMBS UP ,, NICE VIDEO ,,

Another great video. Excellent idea. Andy could you please include the date you record the video because the difference between seasons there and over here in Canada it’s hard to tell when they are filmed. Thanks.

Looks good, I made a wild garlic pesto the other day, tasted great as well. atb

Think I’ve found some near me so I’m going to give it a go. Thank you.

Great video, Im going to give that a go this week. I'm a bit confused why you need to sterilise the jar if you then fill it with the unsterilised ransoms?

i think it's a little too late down here to pick buds now, I did some pickled eggs a while back, absolutely delicious!

I always enjoy your wonderful videos! I am not an expert at canning but I believe you should not overly pack your veggies and I believe that you should leave a little headspace in your canning jar! I hope someone else will commit on that... I need to put up a few jars too...Thanks for this wonderful channel and Simon’s too I really enjoy your recent Fort Camping videos!!! ALWAYS LEARNING

Fab video Andy, I might well have a go at that myself ! Cheers Pal !

You should do a wild food series of edible stuff. Cool

great :)

🙏🏼

WOW👌👌

Mmmm good 👍🇸🇪

good vid keep[ up the good vid wot you do from lee

I love wild garlic, just foraged a load and dried it for future use. The seed pods are the best. Great video

❤👌❤👌

👍

Thanks for the video Andy. I’ve followed your recipe and done some myself, looking forward to the results. Something else I’ve learnt from your video, although very obvious 💡 you can use other larger pots on the trangia?? In my defence if I take my trangia 27 out it has everything you need in the one piece of kit, so wouldn’t have bigger pots with me but there have been times when more capacity would have been useful.

Looks good. I'm not a fan of regular garlic. Too strong for me, but ive never tried ransoms and might try this out if i can find some.

Andy on a Monday 👍🇵🇭

Andy, you are calling them ransoms but they are correctly called ramsons. Allium ursinum - wild garlic, wild cowleek, wood garlic, bear leek . Ramsons, often shortened to ramps.

You're supposed to dig them up, they're like little onions!

Oh yeah, and we make a tasty potato-leek-cream soup.

cant beat a bit of branston lol

Hi Andy, please beware of a deadly lily-of-the-valley mix up! If subscribers have no experience this can happen easily as both plants can be very hard to tell apart and both do grow at the same time and at the the same place. Especially young plants are eerily similar. To make it worse one lily can hide in a bunch of wild garlic leaves. If you have already smelly fingers you will not be able to smell the difference but need to check the stems very carefully.

Going to leave rest longer Andy? see if Flavour intensifies over longer Period Would it be better if you put some of the Cloves n Pepper in at the bottom then Buds then cloves etc to layer it up Looking foward to Follow up if theres one

why do you need to sterilize the jar? Great vid

I want that hat!!!! Send me a link please :-)

HAHAHAHA....i've got clean hands ☝️

HẬM DUNG, LẠNG KHUM ÔNG..SỌT DÔNG

Andy dude, they are RaM-soNs, not RaN-soMs. Great video mate. ;)

You should not touch inside the jar once it’s sterilised.

That’s canny but not my idea of being picked 🍺🍻😃👍

Just 1 minute ago

Would love to try this, don’t think I’d be kissing anyone goodnight though 💕

they are ramps, not garlic, you should know.

This is going to sound mad but I know this RU-vidr called GamerMuscleVideos and he wants to go canoeing, He is in Kent too, can you go with him and dunk him a couple of times? 🤣.. Please DM him🙏

Andy I don't you've ever had clean hands in a video before...

It's not good at all... 1- the best way to take advantage of these products is to eat them raw as when they are cooked they lose 99% of their organic value . 2- eat as raw and fresh as possible, as the heat destroy and transform everything. 3- where is the point to add suger and salt?

Think I’ve found some near me so I’m going to give it a go. Thank you.

👍
