If you put three marbles in the bottom of the steamer juicer you will hear the marbles rolling around in the pot when the water gets lower.

Sisters are the best. In the early summer my youngest sister came here for a week and helped me get the orchard planted. My other sister came just recently for a few days and helped me make a load of salsa, carmelized onions, and we also dug up 60 pounds of potatoes, and tore down a wooden fence. It was so nice and fun to have the help. I shared the fruits of our labour, including my first honey harvest. It was the best. 😋🐝

[@BostonBorn]

Feed him to the chickens…🐓😋🐌 Tip: when filling your jars, place your jars on a towel. Because you have granite counters, the bottoms of your jars are in child contact with the granite then you’re putting hot apples in them. That’s most likely why that jar cracked open along the bottom.

[@juliepapyrith5366]

This vlog is reminding me of a memory in Seattle. I harvested apple trees for a food bank. I got so many that I took too many home. I attempted to make gobs of applesauce. Finally, I knew I couldn't make sauce from it all. So, I went to my community garden to bury the remaining apples as compost. I was so tired, I didn’t know my apartment keys were in the bag with the apples. I buried my apartment keys in my garden with the compost. It took me an hour to figure out what I did.

[@lindawhite5006]

When handling jars after the lids are placed on them (going into the canner and coming out) try to not tilt the jars. If you do it allows the jar contents to possibly get under the seal and cause issues. I know it is so tempting to tilt the jar after processing to rid the water on top...I've made this mistake a few times and it wasn't a good outcome. You're doing a great job and inspiring both older and especially younger people! That's exactly what is needed in this world! Most have lost touch with our food and where it comes from and what is added and our health is paying for it!!!

Now that you have the new house with a sun room, lay sheets down in the sunny parts and lay slices of fruit on them to dry. You get dried fruit without having to babysit a dehydrator! My mother used to put a sheet in the hatchback of her car to dry apples. No bugs or wasps! We’d make dried apple pies and apple butter out of it. They’re amazing!

[@ghc7400]

An easy apple dessert I Danish apple "cake" there is no baking involved. Make a coarse/rustic unsweetened applesauce. In a skillet melt some salted butter add unflavoured breadcrumbs, some sugar and a little vanilla. Stir til the breadcrumbs are golden brown. In a bowl or individual glasses layer applesauce and breadcrumbs a couple of times. Top with freshly whipped cream- no sugar. This is a traditional Danish dessert. Tart apples are best for this. Can the applesauce and you can quickly whip up a dessert.

The skin, seeds and stem strained out perfectly. We processed over 130 pounds of apples into applesauce in just a couple hours. It’s AMAZING, and totally worth the investment. Also , love the info on making vinegar.

I live near an organic orchard. Apple season is the highlight of my year. I use apple juice in my crockpots instead of water so it maintains the apple flavor better & I reduce the amount of sugar I need to add per batch.

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this video. So excited to see what you do with the apples. Loved your video with your husband. Sending you love ❤️

I love how even when you make a mistake talking, you just roll right over it or start your sentence over and don't sweat it, and then don't edit it out. No fuss, love it! ❤

How lucky you are to have family to help and support you. I would love to have a sister!

You're doing such a great job making good use of all your abundance! One little hint when making apple juice/cider......make ALL your cider, mix it together, then can it. That way you blend all your apple varieties ;-)

Love it! You should make apple zucchini bread. That’s my favorite thing to make after apple picking 😊

Getting my Becky encouragement!! On those gloomy days, I find this to be my favorite ray of light. Many blessings to you and yours 💜

Here is a tip I learned for the steam canner. Put a marble in the bottom. When you hear it rattle add water.
