Pickled Veggies, Chicken Stock & More | Canning At The Cabin 

My wife likes your videos so much she won't let me skip ads when we watch them to make sure you get paid.

You guys probably have the happiest dogs ever. They eat well.

For the fish eggs, use a netting almost like a tennis racket but more fine. Gently rub the fish eggs over the netting and they should come off the membrane much easier.

I have really bad anxiety and so hard to fall asleep and almost anything i watch will trigger something bad but watching your videos is soooo relaxing and just pure joy before sleeping 💛💛💛

Hi! I am from Finland and we take a baloonwhisp and simply whisp through the fish eggs a couple of times when they are laying in the salt water brine. All membranes stick to the whisp. So easy and makes caviar totally worth your time. Thanks for your inspiration-great to see your somutions in a similar climate!

I simply can not stress enough how much my wife and I enjoy your videos! If only we were 30 years younger. In so many ways, you guys are not 'close to being beautiful'. You actually are! LOL. We admire your knowledge, creativity, courage, self-reliance and energy. Also how you treat your animals. All of them. Both of you are such a great example for those who have had enough of the city life. Way to go!

Wow, you guys are in high gear preserving the bounty. Everyone is eating well now and as winter sets in. It is good to see you work as a team. My Mom did all the canning through the heat of summer and she pretty much ended up hating having to do it.

Arielle, I am so jealous of your garden! I am a 62 year-old gardener...who still hasn't got the hang of it..but I keep trying.

I have followed you both since you left Oregon. In your 26 months you have made ALASKA Proud. Thank you for teaching us so many ways and ideas to carve out a little bit of POSSIBLE !! ❤

I started in the "back to the land movement" early 70's and have been doing this kind of lifestyle ever since, BUT I have learned so much from you guys! You obviously have been doing this for a while, in Oregon and before. I grew up in the Bay Area and went to college in San Luis Obispo, bought a 6 acre lot and built a house from a recycled WWII surplus Army Barack , all while in college. I put myself through college with a Chinese Catering business and grew my own chicken, eggs and vegetables for it. The one thing I want to introduce you to is Egg Foo Yung (EFY). It is so easy to do right out of your garden, but you will be amazed how good it tastes. I sprout mung beans, broccoli seed, perella seed, alfalfa, etc. Sprouts are so easy to do, flavorful, and nutritious, even in winter, and it doesn't take very much room EFY is mixed in a bowl. Add chopped onion, chopped sprouts, chopped leaves from your garden, some chicken, meat, fish, or concentrated leaf protein -- and of course eggs. If it is too soupy add some flour or pancake mix. You stir it up, spoon it out into a frying pan, and cook like pancakes until golden brown. I usually put a gravy or sauce on top, which adds a lot. You can make a quick sweet and sour sauce by simmering a little water, a little gourmet vinegar and your favorite jelly, or you can make a gravy from Bragg liquid aminos and garlic. I used to make a wine from elderberries and let it turn into vinegar. Delish. There are an infinite number of variations. From start to finish, it takes less than ten minutes to make EFY. It was so easy to do after a long hard day in the garden.... The unexpected thing I have learned from the two of you is that while Alaska has a short growing season, the days are so long, things grow better and faster. It looks like it works better. Frozen soil in winter is the best kind for growing potatoes. Thank you for sharing your experience.

these people are truly amazing clever, positive, hardworking, very well organised they have "a true life"....living on a beautiful place , eating good organic food , being very active ...

I love watching people harvest and can. I hope to live like this one day and this is my classroom. Makes me feel more prepared.

You both have the most amazing happy smiles. I watch so many of these homestead videos and by far you both are my favorite. You both keep it real, no click bate and are all around intelligent and beautiful people. Thank you for bringing me along on your journey, living your dream. I know Mother Earth will always be in your favor, you treat her very well.

I love how you do everything together.

Since you two are into pickling I thought I'd mention a regional speciality from where I am. Fish pickle with lots of onions and curry spices. It's an Easter favourite here in my home town. Really, really good. You can do the onion curry pickle on it's own without the fish too, and it goes really well with almost anything. Maybe something more exotic for you two to try. Just search for: "curry onion pickle malay cape town".

You two are just really enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

I know this is an old video, but it popped up in my feed. I’ve been watching a few now and am hooked. You two are remarkable! How I wish my parents were alive to watch all you do. They were city gardeners with farm-style mindsets. They gardened and canned and taught me a lot. My dad prided himself on his peas but I always thought his kohlrabi was the best. And we loved it raw. Thanks for your wonderful channel. ❤️

Just had to pause the video here, because I remember when I was young when we fed our chickens greens and vegetable peelings not only did the chickens like it but they repaid us with the most beautiful delicious dark orange eggs. You took me back in time. Karen from Canada

Just found this channel and it’s one of the few I can actually learn something. So glad it’s just not a shirtless girl as a thumbnail

I love your lifestyle! I enjoy watching your channel and you are one of my favorites. In a loving way, I'm jealous of all the fun you had storing and preserving food. I have been canning this week as well. I canned apple pie filling, succotash, stewed tomatoes, and tomatoes juice. I blanched and frozen zucchini and squash. I sliced and frozen onions and green peppers. I was gifted some more apples, onions, zucchini, and green pepper as well as a few sweet potatoes. I purchased some peaches. I have some more work to do. Love you all. Keep working hard and trusting God.

I love it that Eric smells everything before he eats it! I am the same way

I have been following you guys ever since your move and always look forward to your videos. The count down has begun for my move and a simpler life. North to Alaska!

You may be homesteading but those of you who are doing the videos have a beautiful kitchen to work in. I have to really improvised where I am at this time but I really appreciate all of the videos so many people have shared. I had older parents that went through the depression but I don't remember a lot of canning and such going on. I appreciate all the ideas and shares. I also read some of the comments to learn more. Thank you again for all of your time and inspiration. From Southwest Washington State USA!

Y'all were really made for each other.

I just love watching the two of you interact. Your love is the kind of love that I hope to one day find! I have been BINGING your content and everything you are doing and sharing with us is fantastic!! Thank You! 💛💛💛

Ariel and Eric, I love your videos, I look forward to them so much. Thank you for your detailed explanation of everything you do, I have learned so much this way and appreciate the knowledge and wisdom shared. My husband and I are working towards homesteading, and we've started by learning the skills needed to really be self sustaining. Your videos are our favorite and we've tried many things learned from you! Thanks again. Rooting for y'all on your journey. ~Amanda & David

I love watching you harvest and make stuff from scratch. You are truly living the dream. Thanks for posting. :-)

You two prove every day that life should be a lot simpler and that the system we live in is taking advantage of everyone in it. Your life is so full of all you need its a beautiful way to live. Thank you for your kindness and inspiration and all the lessons that are so important right now.

i love when you add bloopers a the end lol.

Years back I worked for Icicle Seafoods in Petersburg, AK. I did a week in the Egg room. We rubbed the eggs on a screen then. The eggs (chum) would go through the screen and the 'skein' would be left over. However. The Sockeye eggs was packed as they were into small tub's, like butter comes in, with lots of salt. Next time. Try frying the Sockeye eggs with the skein still on, in some bacon fat. Yummy! Go to your local Goldl Mining Supply Company or online and buy different sizes of screen and a pair of cotton gloves. 1. Rub your eggs (King, Sockeye, Coho, Chum, Pink). 2. Soak 2 minutes and rinse as you like. 3. Lay brined eggs on that Large Window Screen for 24 hours in cool dark area. 4. You now have Caviar! Jar up. Yum yum! For Sockeye. I would not rub them. I'd pan fry them only, or, I'd would salt brine them whole and jar. Snack time: Crispy fried egg sandwich with Sockeye Caviar. Yum!

I am always so amazed at the abundance of your garden. Even with canning, freezing and eating fresh, do you actually eat it all? Or do you share with others or sell some of the veg? I really love watching how well you work together.

I'm from Poland. I grew up on fresh milk. When the milk turned out to the sour yogurt we were happy (not like today, when milk is old and taste awful), we were drinking it to dinner usually. There's so many different ways to eat it. It was delicious 😋 Great memories ☺️

Please share some more of your bread recipes, like wraps, tortillas, breads etc! Your meals are so inspiring! 🤤🤤

The amount of knowledge you have about different plants and herbs is very inspiring 12:31

Such great work guys. So happy to see y’all working together and enjoying the fruits of your labor. Be safe and thanks.

Love you guys!!!! Living my dream through you 2, love seeing Bo in these older videos, he had such a good life and loved beyond measure

Well, ya know, I'm still waiting for my dinner invite....I just love what you're doing-your garden-harvesting and conserving it-your video style (I've mentioned that before)-how you enjoy your food and efforts. I know, we're not seeing everything, but that's not the point. The point is that you're doing it; doing your best to make it work. And, quite frankly, I wish I was 30 years younger. And, when's dinner! :-) I might be a little late; I'm in Germany.

How funny, at 0:35, as Arielle was loading up the pressure cooker for chicken stock, I was typing “I guess we won’t be hearing the troll rooster anymore” I heard him several times in the background! Made me smile! He lives to crow another day!

You guys are amazing!! You share so much knowledge via your channel, incredible! Wish you luck in all the existing and new projects!

I think your channel has become one of my high end favorite channels. I love what you do, the sustainable way you live your life and how you take care of everything to feed you and the animals. It is a calm place to visit and learn bunch of stuff. I have no experience of gardening, but this is the second summer i have tried to grow my own food in small patches in my garden. Leeks, onions, beans, sugar snaps, beetroots, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, chilli fruits, different kind of lettuce, strawberries, rubarbs, herbs and edible flowers. I am doing ok, and now i am learning how to preserve it all. Canning is a new thing for me, and i take great pleasure in watching what you guys do. Living in northern Sweden, we have the same kind of climate, summer is short, and everything has to grow fast to be able to harvest. Therefore your channel is giving me a whole lot and i learn alot in the process. I want to thank you guys for that. Something you should try, if not already done it, is to make chips out of Tuscan kale (if that is the right name). I believe i saw it in your garden. Hack it up, put vegetable oil on it, some salt and put them in the oven for like 7 minutes. They are delicious, and makes a great treat if wanting something else than potato chips! The taste is really coming out and it is crunchy and so good! You guys should make a cookbook. I would by it for shure! Thank you for sharing. :)

Is there anything you guys don’t know? Enjoy your videos immensely! Thank you,

You guys have got such a pure lifestyle. Inspires me I grow a lot of these but not knowledgeable on how to use them.

My wife wants to know if you’re accepting interns yet for summer 2021? She can live in the chicken hut

Beautiful seeing the bees pollinate. Bee population is down here in northern Illinois. Had a bunch all the time up until three years ago, this past year it was minimal. Maybe next season they come back in droves. Have a great day!

I have been a subscriber for over a year and it literally just dawned on me that you guys are the real-life Ariel & Prince Eric! lol

14.13 That salad looked perfection in a bowl!

Awesome video guys. I just love how you pick, harvest and prep all your veggies. You're an amazing power couple. Greetings from Laredo, Tx.

I love how capable you are without using gadgets and heavy machinery. My only advice as life changes is continue to take care of each other, even when it’s difficult. After 15 years and 3 kids it is still the best advice I have heard yet. ❤️❤️❤️

I would buy a cookbook from y’all in a heartbeat! How did y’all become so knowledgeable about gardening and your produce’s uses? I would love to get into gardening but i’m not really sure where to start. Hello from Texas :)

I like that you give so much information, and I like you give what works for you, loved the bloopers.

I get SO excited when I get the notification for your videos, even more so when it's a longer one, WITH bloopers lol. My lucky day

I love how creative you get with how to process it all. Got alot of good ideas. So greatful.

Can you guys do a video talking about any hardships/difficulties as you go through the seasons? I grew up on a farm and although it was the best time of my life, it was also very hard. I love your videos and enjoy watching your journey.

What a beautiful life you two have. May you always love each other!

Awesome one really liked it! Loved seeing the outtakes and getting a taste of your camaraderie and personalities! One of the best most real channels on RU-vid IMO!

Back in Maine we planted purple top turnip for both eating and to feed the whitetail deer. They love them as much as us.

Finally catching up with your channel. We want to cry whenever we see your garden videos. Our summer literally just started 2 weeks ago in our valley hole. Haha! It's really frustrating. Our corn, cabbage, squash, and tomatoes are coming along but if summer ends early we're hosed. Great to see you guys stocking up on food stores from the garden. The Keefer cheese and caviar looked scrumptious.

It's 2 years later, I live in South East Texas so not even similar climate, I have a large family, and not near as much time as I'd like to fish and hunt. Yet I still love your videos😂 even though I live much differently I love your tips! They are simple and very well explained which is much appreciated when I can understand it over screeching young children. Also applaud yall on your team work in the kitchen, when I am canning I need everyone OUT of my kitchen😅 probably need to work on that.

Wow thank you for finally explaining blanching! Everyone does it and i had no idea why! I love this channel

Watch you and each video is a pleasure of learning. At my age think of that!!! Evidently it’s never too late. Canning was never my “fuerte”. Hope for many more videos from you. Loveya ❤️

Hey guys, fermented cauliflower, beets and carrots are one of my favorite! I use horseradish, garlic, dried seaded dill....and any other spices you might like.

After harvesting cilantro and freezing it this morning, I found it too hot to hang outside in Idaho today, I was so happy to have a new video to watch in the cool basement. I think I now need some kefir cheese and crackers. Thanks for sharing!!

Wow you packed in so much stuff into this video. Awesome work and camera setup. ...just thinking it will be a pain to get out the flavour stuff from the vinegar with that bottle shape.

I love the way you guys live your beautiful people love watching you Thank you June

I was like: lucky chickens, eating caviar... Also me: oh yeah they also get turned into soup... Haha.

Well, I think you two know how much I love this kind of stuff. It's so awesome to be part of the haul and putting up. Thanks!

Your garden produces such an abundance! 💕

I’m from a tribe in Washington state, and we make stew out of the eggs, also we take a hold of the membrane part and pull it form the eggs. ✌🏽. Wanted to add we also throw the head in the stew, the cheeks are so good.

It seems that this year you will end up with more variety of things than last year so when you do your 30 day challenge (perhaps?) you will have more of a selection lol

Tip for extracting the eggs from the roe: Use a piece of 1/2 inch screen placed over a bowl. Simply gently rub the roe in a circular motion over the screen and the eggs come right out. I learned this from an old man up in Mesick, MI where we go salmon and steelhead fishing in the Manistee river. We use most of our egg harvest for making spawn sacs for bait. But we do also make a good deal of caviar also. I have a feeling that if you try this method you'll be more apt to make caviar again.

Love the way you speak

Both of you are heading to living to 110 years old with your super healthy diet, and I commend you as you deserve it! Thanks, I always love watching your great videos as they inspire me.

You two have inspired me to urban homestead. I live in a city in southwestern Ontario.

A friend of ours processed a bunch of meat birds and gave us all the feet as they didn't know what to do with them. I cut off the claw tips and then boiled them for a few minutes to allow me to slide the skin off. Then I made stock and it was the THICKEST and TASTIEST chicken stock we've ever had. All from just the feet. You're going to love yours.

You know when Eric edits the video because we get Arielle’s blooper reel. 🤣 This channel has kept us sane through Covid, thanks guys!

It is always fun to watch you harvest your veggies and prepare all the different things you do. I learn something new each time. And after all these years, I finally was able to hard boil eggs thanks to you Eric and your method, I could not believe the result....thanks!

This may be out of bounds to suggest the recipes of another RU-vidr, but Dianxi Xiaoge was a cop in a city before she moved back home to help her family in rural China because one of her parents got sick. The recipes she's able to create on their farm from the food they grow might be of interest to you.

.......Outstanding gardening/kitchen craft. Have seen none better..!! Rock on !!

at 3:11 top left at the wall: "It's not how you fish, it's how you wiggle your worm." Oh My, and this in the kitchen....

One of my favorite video of yours is about canning and preserving your food 👍

In Russian it is read as [kef'ir]. The stress is on the second syllable.

You have a blessed hands, you can grow anything ; May God continuing blessing you, 💕

'It was close to an A, but it was actually just a B+!' 😂 that tickled me!!!

You have the most beautiful lush garden I've ever seen. Your soil must be amazing!

"You're close to beautiful but your just not" omg I love it, your blunt, and I get in trouble because I'm so blunt. Hey it is what it is isn't it?????

Rarely comment on RU-vid but thank you for sharing your lives with us. Especially during these times it's been great to follow along. Thank you

I wish ya'll would write a how to book online.

My Baba grandma would use chicken feet in her chicken stock. They were yellow feet and would make the soup so yellow and the collogen in the feet would make it thick and it would gel when cold. So so good. Especially with homemade noodles.

Am I the only one wondering how are they ever going to get all of the herbs, etc. out of the infusion vinegar bottle once it is empty?

in Greece in the area of Mesologi they preserve the eggs of a different fish ,hole (the eggs with their membrane),brine them in salt and then they coat it with bees wax.Its amazing.Hi from Greece.

Can you two do a video about how you value each other, you personal stories about your love for each other and how that is why you are both who you are now. How you met, who you were when you met, and how that has changed. Thanks. Could be a 6, 7, 8, 9, part series.

Growing up in northern BC we didn’t have a garden, I actually didn’t think anything would grow in such a short season. Watching your videos over the last year has inspired me to grow my own (tiny) raised garden in Saskatoon. I’ve always considered myself a brown thumb, but I’ve managed to harvest quite a few different vegetables this year. Thank you for making these videos and teaching me that anyone can dabble in growing. Love your channel!

I love this channel.

wow that kefir cheese my mouth is watering. so wonderful the garden so abundant right now and lots of hard work to get it stored, but such a beautiful thing. very satisfying. awesome and thank you as always for sharing. hugs

You guys take *_"CHICKEN FINGERS"_* to a new level!

Here I am, 2 year's later watching you again,lol I told ya I'd be a forever fan !! God bless :)

Hi, what percentage of your food do you think you are growing / hunting / fishing yourselves? I use an elastic band to seal the jar rather than the clip, I find it will self burp. It takes a bit of trial and error to get the right tension on the elastic band.

You two are killing it for food storage. Save some of that herb white wine vinegar for your mustard. Vinegars make all the difference. Chicken feet also make all the difference in your stock. They are the bomb for adding collagen to each jar and dehydrate them for dog treats!

Never mind t shirts and hats that a lot of people sell. How much to send one of those jars of pickles to Ontario?

I really like how they are champions of not wasting barely anything. Even though meat that has been used for stock has no taste
