Join us in our kitchen for a day of non conventional canning in the midst of winter. We figure out what to do with our sprouted spuds, recreate a honey dijon mustard recipe, and repurpose wild elderberry sauce and high bush cranberry jelly into a spicy hot barbecue sauce. After all this preserving, we work up an appetite and Eric whips up homemade chips served alongside a juicy moose burger.

You have lived more in your short life than more who approaching 80's , and you have touched so many life in such a short period of time I constantly can't stop thinking of the person I would still be if I hadn't found your channel : A extremely unhappy woman who hated her life and was so ashamed of her home, a woman filled with anxiety as a result of untreated trauma, a woman felt stuck and never saw a way out. But you made me see the beauty in simple living and made appreciate my rural life even more, because of you I now know to bloom where I am planted Finding your channel is a pure blessing to my soul and even if I eventually stop documenting my own journey, I will never forget you as an inspiration and my beam of light☀️.Thank you Eric and Arielle

@billmartin4845 2 года назад

Eric, here’s an old truck I was taught by my father in law, dig a hole in your garden that is at least 3 ‘ deep. Lay down plastic and straw, straw 2 feet , wheel barrow all of your potato’s and lay them in the straw, put another 2 feet of straw on top then plastic and cover with dirt. We saved 200 lbs over the winter and had potatoes until the next harvest! Worth a try, even if you do 20-30 lbs to see if it works! Good luck.

The last two years I have stored my potatoes in insulated coolers stored in a unheated room.I need to watch for any moisture build up inside at times otherwise I am happy with this storage.The potatoes stay firm, no sprouting until May.I also stored my next year saved seeds in that also.

@MNms-ny1gl 3 года назад

Tip: aging mustard helps to mellow it out. We made a batch of spicy brown type coarse mustard with jalapeños that was fiery when first made. It canned quite a large batch which lasted several years. After about 5 months, there was hardly any heat but all the flavor was still there.

@HHeirloomIA 3 года назад

Very good ways to further your food storage. Try fermenting the mustard on the counter for a couple days, helps the seeds crack easie when you blend the mixture. I still have some taters left also, I feed the sprouts to the chickens. They don't mind extra snacks in these frigid temps. Stay warm friends!❤

I am going to can potatoes today because unlike in Alaska, potatoes hardly last a week in Florida! They are abundant and cheap from Idaho right now. With the hard summer tropical rains, we have not had success growing potatoes, even in bags! @Simple Living Alaska. I will be keeping into a bucket most of the day as well. I love the idea of putting fresh boiling water before caninng. Elderberry has medicinal properties as an antiviral. Can it like juice next time.

I was told by an old farmer to store potatoes around 38°. If they sprout simply break sprouts off and put them back in storage. Scab can be caused by ashes and if they where planted where there was a pile of brush burnt. Love the videos.

@theresaluvspims6163 3 года назад

I watched a YT channel that is in Russia. They dig huge holes after harvesting the potatoes and beets. They bagged the potatoes and beets in those netted bags. Then they layered the bags with straw in between each layer. This was like in Siberia so it gets really cold there. They covered the holes with dirt into domes. This kept them all winter without freezing. The holes were not really deep but slightly below the frost line. Perhaps that could work for you.

@hammerhound168 3 года назад

Thats how people in the south at least prior to 1950 did it. Dig a hole line it with gunny sacks, stored all kinds of root Veg, then covered with straw then dirt. go out and get them as you needed them . Making sure you recover . It's sorta primative root cellar, Or poor mans.

@theirishmammy 2 года назад

This is how most Gardeners’ in Ireland will store potatoes but they do it in a heap above the ground as water table also too high. It works great but temps only as low as -15C.

I put my sprouted potatoes into buckets or plant pots with potting soil. I then place the containers of potatoes on a desktop near a N. W. window sill and grow them until planting time. When the weather is ready then I place the plant containers outside in the shade till they adjust to the light. They grow well in pots or grow bags. I do this with sweet potatoes too. They like growing in my house and it gives them a jump on the season. Try it you’ll like it.

Have you thought of potato dehydration? In Bolivia and Peru they freeze them for a couple of weeks then they squeeze as much of the water from them then they dehydrate them until they look greyish or whiteish. They can be stored for years. They end up really hard and when u want to eat them just soak them in water overnight. Then you cut them into cubes and boil them for half hr. You can put them in soups or make a sauce with tomato and onions or put cheese and fried onion. They call them chuño. They won't taste like potatoes anymore though.
