13 - Farewell to Summer: Tidying Up the Garden, Peach Jam, and Preparing for Cozy Fires! 🌿🍑🔥

In this week's video we're tidying up our elderberry bushes and making peach jam because it's still peach season. Our family is here for one last summer visit, and they're helping out. We're also setting up scaffolding to reach the chimney and taking care of our day-to-day tasks like mowing and garden maintenance.

Peaches are such a wonderful and versatile fruit. Peach jam, peach cobbler, peach pie, peach tarte, peach compote, peach pancakes, peach French toast, peach trifle, poached peaches, peach salsa, peach salad, peach tea, peach cocktails, peach liqueur, peach vinegar, peach cheesecake, peach sorbet, peach ice cream...

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hi Cool CPA! Funny, because I didn't realize you could do so much with peaches! My first thought was jam and since Philippe isn't a big fan of the taste it's all for me and Odin, haha. I'll definitely try out your suggestions this year, maybe get Philippe to taste peach in a different dish 😄 (Anicia)

[@coolcpa3321]

@@DomaineSauvage Apricots are another versatile fruit and can be used in similar ways (jam, apricot-blackberry pie, etc). Fortunately, with the internet, you'll have access to plenty of recipes. You've got such a lovely family. I wish you all the best.

I am really enjoying this channel. I am watching now in cold rainy windy weather. So loving the summer weather even if it's not right now through your channel. I am hoping by the time I catch up with episode you have many many subscribers

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thx Kathy, you still have some videos to go before the rain hits 😂! It helps when people like and leave a comment on the videos, but it is going up slow and steady 👍

[@sylvanaire]

Those peaches on that tree look wonderful. You’re going to have plenty to make everything under the sun with. I like peaches very much, but I can never judge when they’re ripe. They’re either hard as a rock from the grocery store, or they’ve gone by, lol. Good luck! 😅

[@DomaineSauvage]

Once they ripe they indeed go quickly!

[@mahanly]

Progress on your property. Like the outdoor meals.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Mark, thx we are getting better days and are able to have outdoor meals again!

[@carolethompson9335]

Hope you get thousands of followers soon.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thx, we will see what the future brings :)

[@jennms1586]

Love, Love, Love your channel! Great job and I love following your progress. I'm delighted to see the new chickens too. If you haven't done so already, the sawdust from the wood shredder is perfect for the chicken coop along with all the hay you removed from the barn. It would be so much more comfortable for the chickens to nest and scratch and to lay their eggs. Thanks so much for taking us along with you on your adventure.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Jenn, the hay from the barn we composted because, we do use hay in their coop but most of the time they are free roaming!

[@patriciasmith9712]

Love your adventures and the chatter, Sunset shots are the best !! Awesome beauty

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Patricia thx for the compliment, winter time will be a bit less beautiful with all the rain we had but spring is coming we can feel it 😂

[@user-ih5gm2uc1i]

Pretty dog and kitty

[@DomaineSauvage]

June and Lucie, we had a second cat but he died just before joining us to France.

Beautifully filmed ❤

We had such a bumper crop of peaches one year, the branches broke. What we didn't eat fresh, we stewed or shared. We don't go through much jam. Stewed fruit on the other hand, was always welcome, especially with cream. You are doing so well with the clean up. Best wishes.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Its funny you say this because a lot of the peach tree have broken branches from the weight so this year we should have a look if we should prune or support them. 👍

[@edwardseth1230]

suggestion: Ask your husband if the lawn mower has a place to attach a smaller hitch.. so he don't have to pull the mulcher by hand.

[@DomaineSauvage]

In the future videos you might see something like that happening 😅😉🙏

[@mgh4400]

😋😋😋 lekkere confituur, zal zeker smaken

[@DomaineSauvage]

Odin heeft ze al allemaal opgegeten 👍

[@abigailgerlach5443]

If you haven't tried peach and ginger jam, I highly recommend it! We are very fond of all things made of peaches! Jam, pies, tarts, tea, cake, fruit salad, peach salsa, glaze for pork. We will put them in a blender, turn it into pulp, freeze it in ice cube trays, then store the cubes in freezer bags. Add it to oatmeal for breakfast! Yummy! We freeze sliced peaches or preserve them for anything you can imagine! Peaches and cantalopes are the best thing about summer!

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hello Abigail! I haven't tried it with ginger yet. I love ginger, so I'm definitely going to make it this year. I love all the suggestions for peach recipes and am eager to try them because I could only think of turning those big amounts into jam at the time and although I love eating them fresh from the tree the amount was too great😄 Thanks for the tips! (Anicia)

[@axelbronchart4883]

11:39 the chicken replied, I love it!! 😂

[@neutonrenda2303]

You are a beast, you have done so much already. It must feel great seeing it coming together though. Love watching your content.👍

[@DomaineSauvage]

Yeah sometimes we have to stand still and see what we have already done :)

[@katrinarichards6520]

Love watching you guys,may I suggest next time you use the chipper use a tarpaulin save on the mess and your time,Your doing a great job and little Odin is really cute ❤

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thx Katrina! ❤

[@user-bm6pb2en7v]

You're doing great with such a big estate and in such a short time! Keep up the good work! I saw you on the roof, cleaning the chimney (I am not sure what it was) However you have to get a certficate from a professional before using any fireplace or chimney in the house...It's only a matter of home insurance policy just in case. I hope your new home will keep you warm this winter 😊

[@DomaineSauvage]

Yes we cleaned the chimney and then we put a tube in it. So the tube itself is new at the moment, but you bring up a good point and i will have a look if we need it to be cleaned by someone who is certified! 👍

[@jean-pierrevrijhoeven8789]

De lucht zoooooo blauw, wat verlangen wij naar de zon! Maar maart is net begonnen, nog effekes

[@DomaineSauvage]

Wij ook, het is hier een regenachtige herfst en winter geweest.. De natuur is wel wakker aan het worden 👍

[@neutonrenda2303]

Phew, that was funny. It worked.👍

[@DomaineSauvage]

Yeah we aren't professional tree removers 😅

[@LimousinLife]

You two are so productive!! Honesty i get tired just watching the work you do!!! Great work on the trees. I have a question, why do you tip your jam jars upside down? Im interested to learn. 😊❤

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hello LimousinLife! Thanks for the lovely comment! I was taught to fill the sterilized jars with hot jam and turn them upside down because it helps to seal the jar as the jam cools down. Then you have less chance of spoilage. There is also the method where you seal the jar while holding it in boiling water, but then you need the right gear to be able to do it safely. (Anicia)

[@LimousinLife]

@@DomaineSauvage Thank you for taking the time to reply. We will try that when we make more jam.

[@DomaineSauvage]

With pleasure and good luck!

[@margiemistretta8885]

Such a sweet smiley baby hes so cute! I missed what those 2 squares are that are in ground

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hello, thx for the nice comment! Which squares do you mean? The concrete slabs close to the chicken coop?

[@micaltoy824]

I could almost smell the peaches cooking ❤ I do wish you could English subtitles to what everyone is saying in videos ❤ I feel a bit left out

[@DomaineSauvage]

Do you mean when we are talking Dutch?

[@micaltoy824]

@DomaineSauvage yes please. I can understand a little. I love to hear it,but then I feel a little left out. I am enjoying so much watching your progress. Can you show the layout of inside of your home. You both are such hard workers. You amaze me in each video❤️ Sending hugs from Mississippi USA ❤️

[@DomaineSauvage]

I think Anicia manually adds subtitles in the later videos so it might be included then.

[@wulmossieur7043]

❤

[@mgh4400]

Behoudens perzik, welke andere fruitbomen hebben jullie ? 😉

[@DomaineSauvage]

Niet zo veel spijtig genoeg, voor ons leefde er hier een perzik addict 😂, we hebben rein-claude staan en een mooie vijgenboom en een heel oude perenboom. Gelukkig hebben onze buren appelbomen staan en een druivelaar waar we zoveel van mogen pakken als we willen 👍

[@paulinemensaert9911]

❤❤❤

[@marieannebaert1753]

Super👏👍👍👍❤️

[@tommcl8548]

👍👊

[@cgee3999]

Could we have some subtitles?

[@DomaineSauvage]

Subtitles should be there?

[@annickcheyns9243]

Wauw… Yliam you did a top job!!! High in the sky 😮 👍🏻🫣. Thx for helping my brother ❤
