Alaska Fall Moose Processing 2.0 | Bone Broth & Corned Moose Meat

[@Livinglifeoutsidethebox]

OK, Lauren, I was giggling when you were making the bone broth because your kitchen doesn't look perfect. Your stove looks cooked on. LoL Its funny because in other videos you are not up close to stuff, so it shows humanity and that a real family of 6 lives there. Just a gentle reminder to all of us is that they are real people, living an imperfect life like the rest of us. OK well I hope that sounds like a complement and not a jab. Awesome job showing us this moose process.

[@charlenecapronloomis3395]

I watched this awhile back, but I wanted to send a msg. I was watching Legglife and in the video I saw elephant rock when they were in Homer. I couldn't believe I recognized it. Guess you can tell I have watched the Alaska boys fishing a few times. Thought you would get a kick about that. Can't get over the scenery. Love you guys.

[@frenchxlilly719]

My absolute favorite part of watching your family process a moose (or any animal) is the great amount of respect you have for the animal that gave it's life. The thankfulness you show is wonderful!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you! We are very grateful for all the bounty it provides. We don’t take it for granted that an animal gave its life for us to eat. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@donnahawkins3135]

Hard working family

[@dancieteague6854]

With the bones especially size wize you can run the bones again. Also those bones can go in the garden great for your veg. We did white tale deer and Elk. You run bones twice and than crush bones a little and spread in garden. When spring comes your garden is Awesome. On bone broth it's great for immunity. I just drink it especially when sick.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you for the tips!! I will for sure do that next time. So much to learn!

[@cindysandhu7281]

Its so nice to see a family that hunts take care of the meat so well. Allot of people moose hunt and take it to get it processed and call it good, but you guys truly do all the hard work. I am born and raised here in Alaska and grew up on moose meat and I can not eat it as an adult anymore but I remember having to work cutting and packing it up. It's hard work for sure. I really enjoy your channel and teaching your kids all that you do is so awesome, they will benefit so much for it! 🤗

[@sandycrabtree4795]

Yes Luna has quite a following we love her💕

[@deidrecruickshank7975]

The fat is from the marrow fat. The corned beef looked awesome! Here in NZ, I always add carrot and onion vinegar and a little brown sugar when I make my corned beef. The carrot and onion can be eaten as a side. They are infused with the flavor and are delicious! I often make a mustard sauce too using the cooking juice.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That all sound amazing, I will try that next time!! Do you have a recipe for the mustard sauce or just mix mustard and the drippings?

[@kathleentanner343]

That is such a kiwi thing using cornbeef water for the sauce which is devine

[@dianestevens2659]

Also add a few whole cloves in with the carrot and onion

@@ThisAlaskaLife I think it is on the web under edmonds cook book online I have the cook book here

[@KJ-jq9pq]

@@ThisAlaskaLife my Grandmother's tip was/is to allow the corned beef to cool in the liquid you cook it in so it doesn't dry out. Remove once cool. Also slowly heat to boiling then turn heat down keeps it more tender. 🐨

[@debbiet.8175]

This is a fantastic video. You did a lot of work but your results are great for feeding your family. By using as much of the animal as possible to feed your family, you've shown it great respect and thankfulness.

[@melodybucker3803]

You guys are an excellent example of sustainable hunting! Showing people the process of where meat comes from, beginning to end. I love it!!1💖💖

Thank you for sharing the whole process of butchering a moose. The fact your boys are included in every step is wonderful and although I don’t eat meat ( medical reasons not by choice) but the respect you show by using every inch of the animal is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your skills and way of life. I look forward to your videos. Stay safe.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I have not! I will have to look up a recipe and try it out!

[@jennymcdonald7684]

Many moons ago when I was young, we always cooked our bones down. Mom had an enormous blue speckled pot and would take up two burners. It would cook for a couple of days until it was almost none left. This she would freeze and use in soups, etc. It was amazing lol. But my parents called it bouillon. I laugh at the new terms for old timey stuff😂

[@christinap43]

Great video!

[@barbarabiggs6050]

I am so excited to see you are making bone broth!!! I just started making and canning my own this year. Roasting the bones gives such a wonderful and rich flavor!

We make the bone broth with deer, beaver, and beef. I enjoyed watching you all finding another skill. When I’m finished I keep the bones and bake them down and make bone meal for my garden. Way to go on your preservation!!!!!❤ 🙏

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Sounds great! I will do that next time for sure!

[@marcellahicks3984]

That is an awesome idea making bone meal for the garden

[@AlaskaBoys]

I’ve never eaten beaver. I’d like to try sometime. I hear it tastes good. Same with lynx, I hear that’s a good meat as long as it’s fully cooked.

I know I posted already - but when I lived in Guadalajara, Mexico - the only time I had tacos were street tacos that were beef tongue. I am a picky eater, but they didn't tell me what it was until after. I have never had such amazing tacos since!

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I can imagine, the meat was more flavorful than I could have ever imagined. Changed my perspective of tongue!

Lauren! So happy you tried this. Vinegar also helps leach nutrients from the bones. You have created so much more for your pantry. So worth it. Also, never thought of pressure canning the bones. Excellent energy saving. I often use my slow cooker. And (!) loved the tongue experiment. In all cooking, I enjoy experimenting, stretching and utilizing everything. Thank you. 🥰

[@marcellahicks3984]

When I first starting Cooking, I survived on basic skills but as my interest grew I realized I am clueless about Food. There were definitely many moments of AHA... A very Good Polish Friend gave me first James Michener book "Poland". It in a backdoor way introduced me to the History of my Heritage, but in a couple Chapters it taught me about the processing of Meat, and distribution. In particular the Hog. The Hog was distributed to use every single bit, nothing went to waste. Remember, Poland like many countries at that time, was conquered fiercely, regularly. So raising, hunting, preservation, curing, storing, etc., were important employment or daily work. In the current culture we have turned our noses to the goodness of this process, or we have used different means to feed ourselves. That being said: BRAVO!! To make Golden Beef Bone Broth makes your Food Pantry Rich. It is Medicine, it is the Base for any Scratch Sauce, it is so worth the effort. In French Cooking every sauce begins it is the base, this rich, most flavorable, food staple. There is a big difference between boiled boned broth and baked boned boiled broth. For Vegetarians, every dish is based on a good vegetable broth. I so so enjoyed 2022 Moose Processing with Caveman Mark and Lauren and the Hamm Clan. Praise and Thanksgiving to God for this Bountiful Gift. Thanks for letting us come along, and having the courage to teach us, in these hard times what you eat will sustain your Health. Bravo

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I love that you were able to make those connections with your heritage and also with your food. As you know, I did not grow up doing any of this and it has been a process for me to come to appreciate it all and enjoy it. Thanks for coming along with us on this journey, we are so thankful!

I don‘t eat meat. I don‘t like watching People cooking with the prepacked Chicken etc. But I have absolutely zero problems with this. You use the whole animal which had a good life and appreciate the meat instead of buying the kitchenready pieces That don’t Even Look like an animal. I don‘t get the proud thing from the Last video (and it was really Hard to see the posing with the dead moose). But it’s probably because the whole meat thing is so far away for me That hunting is too far away 😂 Great to watch
