12 Days of Christmas | Episode 1 | Preserves for the Baskets

[@karenstrong8887]

My Dad and his Dad made grape jam once a year. They used black Isabella grapes that I have not seen for many years now and it was so good. They could both grow anything. The only other time you would find my dad in the kitchen was when Mum would ask for one of his sponge cakes. She could never get hers to be as high or light as his. Until she discovered he used a dozen eggs in his.😂

[@michellenorris211]

I really love your common sense, comforting way of cooking. And also how you are so caring with your family, cooking things that they like or request. The love is very evident. Lucky husband!

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

That's so kind of you to say, thank you!

[@keriannlancaster4479]

Loved this Stacey! Have watched you since hearing you interviewed on RNZ. You get better with each video, how is that possible! Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge 🌞

[@corrinnehale1904]

Every year I try to pick wild blackberries and make Blackberry jelly..It was always a favorite jelly my mum made every year when we're on the farm. Love your fantail jars..very cute.

[@louisebrislane6607]

You could make some lemon drizzle cakes with some of the lemons. My raspberry bushes all died one year for no reason at all so yes, they aren't as tough as they say. My mother & grandmother made jams & never water bathed them & they lasted okay for years if they got lost in the cupboards but mostly they were so delicious they never lasted more than a year. My grandmother was English & came out to Australia as a teenager in the late 1800s & was a fabulous cook & only had a fuel stove.

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

I can't wait for you to see how we use these two preserves.

[@bettyir4302]

I don't cook from recipes but just so I knew how, my grandmother had me follow the old Betty Crocker Cookbook "Filled Cookies" and use her oldest jams when I was little. Back then, she used Gulf Wax to seal the tops. I still use the filled cookies recipe if there's an old jar but my jars never get as old as hers did because she'd can up dozens and dozens. The cookie recipe isn't too sweet but is much like a Pop Tart that makes a great grab and go breakfast or snack.

[@deirdrebakker7886]

I am from NZ too. For fruit and tomatoes we (our family) have always used the over flow method where you pour the boiling liquid into the jars right to the top and put the lid straight on. They seal perfectly and last for years. I have had no issues with this method and it is so much easier than water bathing etc. I reuse jars from the supermarkets and their lids seal time after time. I find that I dont even need to warm the jars. I just put the boiling liquid in the jars and put on the lid. They never seem to crack. Really enjoy watching your channel. I have learned so much!

I'm so making the raspberry jam and lemon curd. Thanks Stacey X

[@paccur1252]

They look delicious.. and so easy... I love just about every jam..

[@charlenes5]

Thank you Stacey for lovely recipes as always the lemon curd would be an absolute favourite for the famz with home made yoghurt. My family love anything with lemons but they say mum try it if we see you screw your face up 😵‍💫😵‍💫we know we will like 😂😂😂 thank you got to try this now 👍👍👍👍

[@renatajancikova2778]

Hi, Stacey. When I make a jam, after closing the hot jar, I put it upside down on a teatowel. The lid sucks in perfect, no other treatment needed. I do the same with tomato passata. Lasts for years. Thank you for your ideas.

[@vernaworthington5151]

Hi Stacy, love watching you all the way from the U. S. Love lemon curd, can't wait to give it a try. I do have one suggestion, soak your store bought jam jars in your dish water and take the lables off. Most come off with no trouble. Love your videos, thank you for them.

[@toniaroane]

This is the time of year that I make waffles, and with waffles comes fresh strawberries. I usually have leftover and cook it down and make jam from it. Homemade just tastes so much better!

[@karenegan1688]

Delicious…😋Your kitchen is such a peaceful and soul nourishing place.♥️💛♥️🇦🇺💛

Hello lovely lady. Watching you start the raspberry jam is so mouthwatering and It's times like this when I wish there was smell -a- vision, yummy. Thank you for your time and shearing easy recipes. Take care Stacey and all, have a marvelous safe holiday.

[@pippakay7234]

Loved the video. Both the jam and the lemon curd looked amazing. To be honest I kept getting this smell of them both as I was watching. It must have jolted the childhood memories of my mum making them when we lived on the farm. Sadly my parents are no longer with us but some lovely memories to cherish like today.💕

[@betty4rd]

I bought some of the half pints and full pints, and the handsoap pumps to fill with christmas gifts! One is going to be your condensed milk recipe, gave it a test yesterday and it's beautiful! Really enjoying your videos Stacey! 🥰💜

[@janetlemming3295]

Hey Stacy, Hope you guys have a great Christmas!!! It's SNOWING again in NW Pa. I think you did a great job with your goodies. I make lots of jams, but I've never made Lemon Curd. I have to try that when my chickens are laying more eggs. it all looks delish!!! Thank you Janet

[@Llerrafy55]

Yeah Stacey, make lemon curd right in front of me knowing I’m dairy and egg intolerant 🤣🤪 it looked absolutely yellowy sweet sour delicious. Ah memories. 😘🌏

Oh, I am sorry :-( but that will give me a challenge in the new year to make a recipe just for you.

The longer videos are fab, tried to save them to watch, but couldn't resist watching it. Thank you for reigniting my love of cooking! ❤❤

[@waratahandwattle]

Thank you for putting me in the homemade gifting spirit.

[@MishCreates01]

I always say when I give homemade jars or bottled goods … if the lid doesn’t pop the first time you open it don’t use it … also use your nose and eyes cause if it smells bad it probably isn’t worth the risk … I will also be using the Stacey method moving forward, wibble the middle of the lid for the wibble wobble sound 👨‍🍳😜😂🤣

[@mignon7777]

Hi a tip that could save Christmas. My father was a butcher and was aware that every year there is a small number of Turkeys or other joints of meat that are off. So to avoid a ruined Christmas check it on Christmas eve and if you have a problem go to your freezer that has one or two chickens that are small enough to defrost overnight (even a large chicken can defrost overnight). In England I'd put the chicken in the sink of a cold laundry room overnight, not the fridge. Down under maybe a cool box with ice blocks. Has to be below 5degrees for safety, but fridge could be too cold for overnight defrost. THIS STRATEGY ALSO PROTECTS AGAINST HOME DELIVERY FAILURES. I'm sure all will be well and you can defrost and eat your frozen chickens in January.

[@andreacairns969]

Wow! The lemon curd looked so good, love the free range eggs, makes such a difference. Your raspberry jam? Amazing! How’s your sourdough starter doing? Anyway, I look forward to Day 2 🙏. Thankyou Stacy for all you do.

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

Thank you :-) I actually just took her out of the fridge tonight. I am going to try a loaf soon. I will film it after the 12 DOC Special :-)

[@andreacairns969]

@ oh that’s gonna be lovely Stacy 🤗🙏 I prepared 2 yesterday, they’ve been proofing overnight in the fridge, I’ll bake them this morning, soon actually as we have family staying. My sister and I will be tuning in everyday for your video’s, the sourdough one is gonna be great!!thankyou again Stacy🙏

[@02271953me]

Beautiful footage, Stacey! Thank you for sharing everything looks so vibrant and tasty!!

[@Sacredsimplicitylife]

Hi Stacey, I’m really looking forward to this 12 days of Christmas series. I just made raspberry jam a couple of nights ago to use as gifts and some for us as well as it’s definitely a favourite. I have been gifted a couple of jars of lemon curd recently and it’s so delicious. Great video! 🌸

[@jadziadax1969]

@FarmersWifeHomestead Pssst... I have a bunch (maybe 5) opened part used organic frozen fruit bags in the freezer...raspberries, mixed berries and blueberries...do you think I can combine them all and do the same 1 to 1 ratio fruit to sugar????

[@dubravkabelogrlicdubravka]

Yes its unfortunate that raspberries are so expansive. Lemon curd looks exquisite! Thank you for sharing. Cheers

[@Zarlita1]

Hi Stacey!!!! Would you be willing to make a scones video with all different types of flavors???? Thank you!!

[@sharonpeta2390]

Hi Stacey if you turn your jars upside down they seal faster.

[@AnneAlready]

My mother always preserved pure fruit in a water bath, but same as you I don't water bath jams and preserves because of the natural preservatives they contain. If I make (for example) Jamie Oliver's lower sugar jams and chutneys etc. then they need to be stored in the fridge rather than on the shelf.

[@inge6280]

Yesss, have to make me some lemon curd! So happens I’m going to a specialty shop tomorrow that I’m sure will have clean organic lemons

[@Kentucky2Country]

My husband picks blackberries every summer so this year me and my mom are making blackberry jam. I can’t wait.

[@hollygirl1955]

I grew up with home made jams and preserves. They were never water bath canned I can remember taking off the “skin” on the jam. It was a bit crusty and often had mould on it. Underneath the skin, the jam was perfect. My kids are horrified that that’s what we did (still do). Still alive!😂

[@nessiemonstercrafts]

I came across a recipe for dairy and egg free lemon curd which I've tweaked to suit my own tastes if you're interested in it. The texture isnt the same smoothness as normal lemon curd but after it's sat in the jars for a few days, it still has that same awesome lemon tang and I just love having it on toast or adding it to my homemade greek yogurt. So good!!!

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

This year I made Rosella Jam, and a Rosella syrup, that I can use as a cordial by adding sparkling mineral water or as a ice-cream topping. I only had one tree but hopefully next year I will have more.

[@glenelle24]

@hopefrancis1599 I have 4 rosella shrubs going great guns!!! I grew from seed too! Cannot wait for my first harvest...do you have any wise advice or tips for this rosella newbie please?

[@hopefrancis1599]

@@glenelle24 Hello Glenelle, good luck with your Rosellas. Keep an eye out for mealy bug on your plants...I had an infestation when the shrub was just starting to fruit, but I used a homemade organic mealy bug spray and that cleared them up . I found them mostly on the forming flower buds. I also picked my fruits regularly and kept them unwashed in a Ziplock bag with a paper towel till I had enough to use to make jam. When you make the jam peel the red calyxes from the pods use gloves as sometimes the calyxes/pods have fine hairs. To make the jam I basically followed a similar method to Stacey's Raspberry jam, but boiled the seed pods first , just covered with a bit of water and boiled for about 20 mins or so. Strained the liquid from the pods and then I added the calyxes to the strained liquid and boiled again till the calyxes were tender and starting to fall apart. I then allowed the mixture to cool a bit and measured the amount back into a saucepan. I added an equal quantity of sugar to the calyxes and a good squeeze of lemon juice and returned the mix to the heat to boil for about 10 to 20 mins till the jam begins to thicken. I then put it into hot sterilized jars and seal immediately. Remember to clean the rim of the jar to get a good seal. The lids will pop as the jam cools and create a vacuum seal. Remember to label them and keep in a cool dark place till you want to use them. As Stacey said you won't need to waterbath the jam and I don't keep mine in the fridge either as the high sugar content helps in the preservation. You can also freeze the calyxes, I found one packet a couple of weeks ago and made a rosella syrup, that I can use on Ice-cream, or as a cordial with sparkling mineral water added to make a refreshing drink or to swirl in a cheesecake. (I adapted a blueberry cordial recipe from the Woman's Weekly Fruit and Vegetable cookbook) When I have my next plants fruiting I am thinking if picking some of the small fruits and preserving them in syrup as well as making a rosella tea . The leaves are also edible. Oh I almost forgot ... pierce the seedpods BEFORE boiling as that will help to release more of the pectin that will help set the jam. Enjoy!

[@glenelle24]

@hopefrancis1599 thank you so so much, super helpful guidance and what to watch out for. My shrubs are varying heights, the tallest 2 are closing in on 5ft, the other 2 are 2-3ft. I've kept up the organic fertilizer and we've had sooooo much rain through Nov Dec (49mm in the last 24hours alone!) Off to google mealy bug as I've no idea what to look for lol. Thank you again, my sweet Nanna, long since passed loved rosella jam (& weirdly tomato jam!!!).

[@hopefrancis1599]

@@glenelle24 You must live in southeast Qld🙃sounds like our weather this year. My Nanna made all her own jams including rosella jam, pickles and sauces and kept them in her bathroom cupboard . We are all big fans in our family. Mealy bugs are a white "furry" small sucking insect. You will find them under the leaves and on the flower buds. I made a dishwash, oil and water spray to control them. There are natural sprays online that you can make up to control them.

Oh that lemon curd looks amazing !!

I went to get them and there were moldy ones in the bottom, I salvaged one lemon out of the whole bag ! $10.00 down the drain and no lemon curd 😢 I live in northern Minnesota and lemons are expensive here. I don’t need to grocery shop very often but am keep my eye out for a sale on lemons at the local grocery store.
