A suggestion for shredded zucchini is shredded freeze dried zucchini as a thickening agent for meat loaf, allows for no bread crumbs , oatmeal or crackers. We love it and it adds nutrients too.

2 things- 1. I have found it very helpful to use a paper grocery sack to through my freeze dried herbs in (especially oregano) shake it around vigorously and the leaves pretty well fall off the stems. 2. I’m sure you’ve done lots of things with your celery leaves but incase you haven’t thought of it I like two things in particular. One, freeze them and add when making chicken stock. Two, freeze dry and make celery salt. Blessings to you!! My kitchen looks like yours right now 👏🏻

To help keep rims clean when filling jams or jellies, I pour it into a pitcher then pour into the jars. It's so much faster and easier than ladling and doesn't make a mess. Saves so much time when you're making a lot of jars

One of my favorite ways to preserve celery is to freeze dry and blend into a powder, even the leaves. It brings a WONDERFUL flavor to soups and broths and is a great way to use up a ton of celery and not let the leaves go to waste. I enjoyed seeing what all you did with all that lovely food! Great job!

What a beautiful thing to see all your efforts ready to be put on the shelves. I have been wanting to give the mock pineapple a try after seeing you do it. Last years zucchini was an epic fail so I’m hoping this year it grows better. I do have a bag or two of shredded zucchini in the freezer and I think I’ll pull those out and make some muffins today. You’re doing an amazing job of caring for your family both in the present and looking towards the future. God Bless you friend. Enjoy the weekend. PS is there anything better than when hubby steps in and helps with the dishes after a long day of preserving or meal prepping? Well done Matt!

I love my steam canner. It’s so much faster. I also love my All American big mama canner but I also got a Presto Electric canner for convenience. It’s a lot like an Instant Pot and doesn’t go on your stove. It only does 5-6 jars at a time but you press a couple of buttons and it does the rest so it’s easy to can a little bit every day or so. I love it.

Hi Kelsey, I have not wrote a comment in a while, but like always. You are absolutely amazing. I'm so happy that you said you don't take the time to take off every Little leaf off of Your herbs before you freeze dry them, But I wanted to double check on the basil, Do you still take off the leaves of them? They are definitely easier and not as tedious

In small saucepan warm 1/2 cup Apricot Preserves and 1 Tbsp. vinegar. Spoon over chicken. Cook in Microwave uncovered for 15 minutes longer or until till chicken reaches 165F.

Also, have you ever tried the low-temp pasteurization with pickles? It's an approved method, and a bit of a pain but the pickles are not canned in boiling water which helps them turn out more firm.

CHICKEN POT PIE Serves: 6 Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: over 1 hour total Ingredients: PASTRY: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups butter, chilled and cut into thin slices 3 Tablespoon shortening 1/3 cup ice water Glaze: 1 egg yolk & 1 Tablespoon water to brush on top of pie Directions: In large bowl, combine flour and salt. Using pastry blender, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal (work quickly so the butter does not soften). Sprinkle with ice water; rapidly blend together with a fork. Gather the dough into a ball, then flatten into a circle. Wrap in foil or handi-wrap: chill at least 3 hours or overnight. Ingredients - FILLING: 2 quarts water 1 broiler/fryer chicken(3 to 4 lbs.), cut up or your favorite chicken parts to 3-4 pounds chicken. 1 bay leaf and 1 garlic clove, minced 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cut green beans 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced carrots 1 cup diced peeled potatoes 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1 package (10 oz.) frozen peas 1 can(16 oz.)whole tomatoes, drained and chopped 4 Tablespoons butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup heavy cream or Half & Half 2 egg yolks Salt and pepper to taste 6 pots (4 inch diameters)washed or 1 large pot or deep dish pie pan Vegetable oil Aluminum foil For filling, place chicken, water, bay leaf, and garlic in Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and cook for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is tender (You can do this the night before). Remove and debone chicken; set aside. Skim fat off from the stock. Add beans, carrots, potatoes and basil; cover and simmer 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add mushrooms, peas and tomatoes; cover and simmer 3-5 minutes. Drain vegetables and reserve stock; set aside. Melt butter in another large kettle. Whisk in flour and cook until bubbly; stir in 1 1/2 cups of reserved stock. Freeze remaining stock. In a small bowl, stir together cream and egg yolks. Whisk into the sauce; remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in reserved chicken and vegetables. To assemble pot pies you can make individual one or 1 big one but it will take longer to bake, brush pot(s) with oil. Line each pot with a 15 inch x 12 inch piece of foil; pressing the foil gently down into the pot and being careful NOT to tear it. Fill each pot with about 1 1/2 cups of the filling; leave about 1/2 inch headroom; set aside. Roll pastry to 1/8 inch thickness; cut into six 6 inch circles. Place 1 circle on each pot, turn down the edges and flute the ends. Cut 3 small steam holes in the center of each pastry. In small bowl, lightly beat glaze ingredients; brush on top of each crust. Place pots on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until crust is browned and the filling is hot and bubbly. Place one stick with seed packet in each pot before serving.

What is the benefit of making mock pineapple? You have to buy the pineapple juice, lemon juice and sugar to make it, so why not just buy pineapple and give the zucchini away or to the chickens? I like the way you decorate your home!
@seedandsparrowhomestead
@seedandsparrowhomestead 27 дней назад
I got 144 oz of mock pineapple and that cost me about $5 to make. The juice I found cheap at the Amish store, the sugar and lemon juice I got in bulk and at a good price. If I were to buy 144 oz of canned pineapple at the store it would be about $15. It’s a toss up, pay more and save the work or work a little and save some money. I also really like the texture of the mock pineapple! Some years I find it’s worth it to do a few, other years it isn’t a priority and I use my time elsewhere, and the chickens get lots of zucchini snacks 😂 Thank you!!! ☺️❤️

Very informative, thank you. I do not have a freeze dryer, so I’m hanging my herbs. Would you be able to show or tell us how long to leave them & how you process them afterwards? This is my first time, so I’m not sure what to do. Lol
@DracoTriste
@DracoTriste 28 дней назад
I hang dry my herbs too! Time really depends on your particular conditions and the herb itself. A dry climate will dry herbs faster, but high humidity will slow down the process. If you are in a very humid environment, I recommend making smaller bundles and hanging them with more space between. And for telling when they’re ready, nothing beats your fingertips and eyes. Visually, the herbs should be shrunken and look dry. When you touch them, they should feel dry- leafier herbs like mint and basil will easily crumble and sound like crunchy leaves under foot in the fall. Feel the base of the leaves near the stems. It should feel dry there too. I’m in a pretty humid climate, so I make sure to feel the center of bundles as well. Remember if you’re not sure a particular stem is fully dry, you can hang it back up and let it dry longer. It’s better than finding an entire jar of herbs have gone off a month later.
@seedandsparrowhomestead
@seedandsparrowhomestead 28 дней назад
It really depends! Density, amount of water in leaves, volume of bunch, conditions in the home etc. I periodically check and when everything feels good and crunchy I know it’s time to store ☺️
