I add 2 cups of pumpkin purée in a full pot of chili! It helps to give the tomato juice more body and creaminess and adds more nutrients to the chili, yet does not change the flavor of my family’s favorite soup!

Hello Becky, Just a little pointer. When you have a messy job to do, like pouring up liquid fat into jars(or sticky like jam) Set your jars and tools on a cookie sheet. I do this when canning and it sure makes clean up a breeze! Just a tip from an Old Cook 💗

@bethlewis9981 6 месяцев назад

I just put the empty jars in the sink on some paper towels or rags and fill them there. Spills are contained and the rags or paper towels can easily be washed or disposed of and I am not trying to clean it up off the counters (or floors!).

Australian here - we dont really have sweet pumpkin recipes here. All only savoury. I will eventually taste a pumpkin pie. "Queensland Blue" is the most popular variety here, and they shared some seeds with the USA in the 1930's and is now famous all over the world! Kent or Butternut are the other main ones. I cut 1cm (half an inch) cubes of pumpkin, drizzle a little oil so that cumin sticks to it and roast - toss them in a salad with rocket (you call it arugula) walnuts and pomegranate seeds or pepitas. Yum.

Becky, I agree the smell of rendering fats is disgusting. In order to avoid stinking up the house I set up my electric roaster outside under a covered porch. Set it on the lowest temperature and let it render to its heart content...of course stir it periodically. Love your videos! You're the best!

@rbrannie 6 месяцев назад

I render lard in my crockpot outside, from home grown piggies. First is bright white into quart jars (for baking) and next is 'flavored lard' also into quart jars (for cooking, frying eggs, best fried potatoes, etc.) I use the leftover cracklins to make doggie treats. Add flour, some egg, various vegetables (especially pumpkin and squash), bake into 'cookies' and freeze in ziplock bags. I pull out a bag as needed and dole out cookies every day. Dogs love them. Chickens would also enjoy, but dogs will do tricks for homemade cookies!

I made a pumpkin sage filled ravioli. It was a labor of love and took about 3 hours to make enough to feed my family of 4 twice. I looked up several recipes and combined the aspects that I liked into one recipe. I then tried to make a similar thing - pumpkin sage lasagna. I don't think I used enough cheese and sage in that one. It wasn't our favorite and I ended up having to eat it all because the rest of my family didn't want it. I think it could work, though.

@eekisvreemd1986 7 месяцев назад

I didnt read all the comments… but about pumpkin and cross pollination; (angela from parkrose permaculture has a great video on this) Cucurbits only cross between subspecies. So a zucchini (C. pepo) will never cross with a butternut (C. moscata). So if you don’t have more than 1 type per subspecies, you can safely save your own seeds 👌🏼 Also; becky, have you tried pumpkin risotto? So good with sage!

@samjones9465 7 месяцев назад

Thought you might like to know that "hot water pastry" the type of pastry that's round good pork pie is made with lard (my late fathers speciality) and that my nan (a country lass) made her pastry for pies, tarts etc was made with half and half butter and lard or when things were tight 3/4 lard to 1/4 butter. Beef tallow she reserved for chips (fries) and roasted potatoes - they were amazing lol. I don't mind the smell of rendering fat - it's not especially aromatic but it bring back brilliant memories of both of them. Hope this helps, Samantha, England UK

I don't bother pureeing before freeze drying, since the freeze dried chunks can so easily be powdered. I drop the chunks into a jar and smash them down (gently) with a wooden sauerkraut tamper or the handle of a wooden spoon. The powder is perfect for soups or baby food or to add a little flavor to broth. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. I hope your toe feels better soon!

@stephaniekinloch9094 7 месяцев назад

I tend to use pumpkin in my spaghetti sauce. Basically anything you make with can tomatoes, you can use pumpkin with / instead. If you freeze-dry pumpkin you can use to help thicken a sauce + add flavour without the added liquid. I also like to mash pumpkin with my potato for a different flavour. 😀💜

Hi Becky, here is a recipe idea for you. Put 1/4 cup of your puree into a bowl and add: 1/3 cup of flour, 1/2 cup plant milk, 1/2 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt. Mix ingredients. Pour some of the puree into a nonstick pan over medium heat until the tortilla cooks, at least 2 minutes per side. Use this as a wrap for any kind of filling you like. You can also make this using carrot puree, tomato puree, pepper puree, or spinach puree. (To make the puree, steam the vegetable, and mash it up). I saw this on YT yesterday. I am not sure what type of flour the creator used but it is fun to experiment anyway. You will know the tortilla is cooked when it gets puffy and lightly browned on each side. You want the finished veggie tortilla to be pliable and soft.

I cut up the suet that I buy at a grocery store, and grind it up with my grinding attachment. Then I put the ground fat in my crockpot on low until it's all melted. Then I pour it into a canning jar and make body butter with it using the method from Mary's Nest RU-vid channel. It's great to use on my hands in the winter. I also make suet cakes for the birds in the winter. I'd try making pumpkin filled pasta.

@rebeccainfinland 7 месяцев назад

Great pumpkins you have got! My two favourite ways to use them: raw shredded pumpkin in my bread dough, instead of water. Works both in sour dough and in no-knead bread. Makes the bread really moist and my kids love it. And i put pumpkin puree into pancake- and waffle-dough. About one third of the dough can be replaced by pumpkin. The waffles and pancakes get tastier and so much healthier! Sourdough-pumpkin-waffles are incredible😀

LOVE the French pumpkins! Grew some last year.(rested the garden this year) Mine were called Musqee De Provence. Slow growing, so start seeds a little earlier. Not as many fruit on the vine as a small sugar pumpkin. So you may want to plant more starts. Saved my seeds from one that was 70lbs! They are more dense than other pumpkins. I actually had to use a reciprocating saw to make the initial cut.😊 Kudos on getting your fat rendered! You are right, rendering fat is messy no matter how hard you try to be neat.! I usually go through a bit of newspaper to cover the countertop. And last time I rendered 100lbs of lard, I used at least 1/2 of a new roll of paper towels to absorb any dripping from dipping the measuring cup I used to pour the melted lard into jars. I now understand why Amish women put down cardboard on the kitchen floor when they do big projects like rendering! It is just plain messy to do.😊😯🥰

Lard pie crust is very good used it for years. I also use equal parts butter and lard in crust which is good also. Lard in biscuts are heavier then with butter so I use half and half in them.

Mixing pumpkin and tomato as a soup wuth a grilled cheese is delicious! Roasted pumpkin cubes in a spinach, Walnut, salad wuth cranberry vinegrette. Roasted pumpkin Garlic hummus Pumpkin cornbread gives great with Chilli or soup I made a pumpkin Alfredo sauce and put it over spaghetti squash once, I need to do that again. Soooo good!

Pumpkin risotto with pancetta (or bacon) is really good. Pumpkin puree is a good topping for pizza, instead of tomato sauce, and mushroom and pumpkin is a good combination for a side dish.

Hey Becky. Thanks for sharing. I was just talking about rendering lard. My grandma use to do this. Just learned how bad vegetable and canola oil are for you. Time to go back to the ol school way.

Hello, merry Christmas. You can also preserve pumpkin in syrup as a jam (this technique is usually done in Lebanon and some middle eastern countries). As for savory dishes they do a pumpkin kibbeh (a vegan style kibbeh).

I have good memories of my grandmother's both using lard to cook with. My mother's brother was a Butcher and I do remember my mom cooking down beef fat and keeping it in the refrigerator to use for cooking! And that pumpkin all looks so lovely! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful food with us!

@cazee100 7 месяцев назад

Wondering why you are freezing the rendered fats? Once you have rendered all the water out, lard and tallow are shelf stable forever. Also doesn’t take up valuable freezer space. Bet you’re very pleased to have that job done, nothing better than ticking the “to do” jobs off the list. Sadly mine just keeps getting longer😅 Hope you’ve had a wonderful Christmas especially with baby Acre being more aware this year. Stay safe, God bless xx

@ruthannhahn8453 7 месяцев назад

Wouldn’t the fat go rancid after awhile without refrigeration?

@DonnaMSchmid 7 месяцев назад

Becky, please be careful with using quart jars (regular or widemouth) for things like this, because neither is recommended for freezing. The only bottle shapes safe to freeze are those with straight sides (no shoulders at all, like the wide-mouth pints you used for your fats). If you use any jars with shoulders (such as the quarts you used), they will likely break from the pressure as the contents freeze! For all of the love and care you put into your family's food, I'd really hate to see you lose some from glass breakage!

@AB-ol5uz 7 месяцев назад

won't they last quite a while sitting on a shelf as is?

@lisawallace3124 6 месяцев назад

they'll actually be fine for freezing, presuming you leave sufficient headspace. Depending on how "liquidy" the product is, an inch or more should work. More liquidy=more headspace

@DonnaMSchmid 6 месяцев назад

ONLY if you count "headspace" from the bottom of where the shoulder starts -- effectively, if you only fill the quart jars no further than half-full...@@lisawallace3124

I rendered the lard from our pigs every year, and used it instead of having to buy shortening. 7 pigs always made enough for our family of 8 for a year. I never rendered the tallow from our beef, so this is interesting. Our lard was stored in coffee cans and frozen. This was back when coffee cans were larger, and were metal, not plastic. If your lard is pure, it makes lovely pie crusts. It hardens into a pure snowy white-looks just like Crisco. The chickens will LOVE their pumpkin treat!! Love love love the idea of adding the birdseed!!!

@sherryarmstrong4683 7 месяцев назад

Just a suggestion: savory sage and brown butter cubed pumpkin. Like you would for butternut squash. Salt, pepper, garlic and onion. That sounds nice.

We make a delicious stew called Locro with those pumpkins and white corn...there is also another one called Carbonada and it is originally a belgium stew served in a pumpkin and has dried apricots...you should try those! ❤❤

@rocktomusic96 7 месяцев назад

Hi Becky, you know how you add zucchini to your food you can do the same thing with Pumpkin. Adds great taste and its another way to get more veggies.

Becky here is my suggestion for a savory pumpkin recipe, I know you like pastries so please try this one. Kadili Gutap is a Turkmen dish basically savory pumpkin pasties, you can find the recipe online. I am pretty sure you are gonna love it. Another version of it is Pumpkin Samsa/Somsa similiar yet different. Hope you like them andI would love you watch make them.

I always use half butter and half lard when I make pastry, get a lovely short tender pastry, that’s durable and easy to handle

We love you and God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Growing up my grandparents butchered a hog each winter, us kids job was to cut up the fat. We cooked it outside in a big cast iron pot over a fire. My granddad had a press to press out the lard. My mom used lard for cooking and baking when we were young. She kept a 5 gallon container in the cabinet. She lived to be 100 years old, so it must be healthy 🥰❤️

Hey Becky dear just a tip * Be careful when using your convection setting on your normal recipes you do need to alter the times when using those setting especially when baking. Happy Holiday's as always L❤VE from Kentucky!
