Cooking Dinner in 1820s America - October

A green soup seems fitting for my little cauldron. A delicious (and nutritious!) soup recipe from 200 years ago. A seasonal apple pudding made using American grown rice makes for a stomach warming fall meal. Did you know that rice used to be one of the top crops of the American South? This rice was usually called Carolina Rice. Still to this day there are over 5,000 rice farms in the U.S. producing over 20 billion pounds of rice annually!

What better thing is there to cook in a cauldron than neon green soup💀? Thank you all for joining me on this chilly October day. Be sure to investigate the original recipes (or receipts as they used to be called) at the end of the video. Below you will find these early 1800s recipes translated into modern instructions for those fellow witches who wish to conjure up their own soup at home. "To Stew Old Peas," 1823 1 cup of dried split peas 2 cups of water for overnight soaking + more for cooking 1 teaspoon of black pepper Smoked ham hocks, however much you can afford Soak the split peas in a large bowl overnight by pouring 2 cups of water over them. In the morning you will see that they have swollen and have doubled in size. On the bottom of a pot put in your ham hocks. Over this pour the soaked peas, pepper & however much water will just cover them. Bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce your heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour. Once done tear the ham hock apart with 2 forks or for the more period correct way serve a large chunk of it in the bowl with your stewed peas. This tastes excellent with a side of bread. "A Carolina Rice Pudding," 1805 0.5 cups of rice 2 cups of whole milk 0.25 cups of sugar 3 apples 2 egg yolks 1 teaspoon of cinnamon The zest from 1 lemon A pinch of nutmeg Pudding Sauce: 1/4 cup of butter 1 tablespoon of sugar White wine, a dash Water for boiling Wash your rice well in water. Transfer the rice into a pot and cover with milk. Simmer for half an hour, or until the rice is thick and soft. Do not worry about the rice being fluffy. This is a pudding after all. Once soft, remove the rice from your heat and set aside to cool. Chop your apples small and throw them into the pot with your cooled rice along with egg yolks, cinnamon, lemon zest, nutmeg and sugar. Stir well to combine. Dunk a pudding cloth (or 2, if you have them and can double up which is even better) into boiling water for a few seconds. Remove and lay out flat on your work surface. Spread a thick layer of flour in the center of the cloth. Pour the rice mixture over the flour and roll up the cloth into a ball. Tie off and carefully submerge into boiling water. Boil for 1.25 hours. In the meantime, prepare a pudding sauce by combing sugar, butter and wine in a skillet. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Once the pudding is done boiling carefully remove it from the cloth. Pour the pudding sauce over it.

What is a pudding cloth? 😅no laughing 😂. I know of cheese cloths I use to make butter and cheese? Just never heard of pudding cloths before again no laughing 😅.

[@Jonni8]

@@shelliebancroft4145 I'm glad you asked. I don't know either. It kinda looked like a tea towel.

[@MJF1958]

​@@shelliebancroft4145pudding cloth has a tighter weave than cheese cloth. Muslin fabric towels were common. If you can't find muslin or 100% cotton that is food safe (dye free) multiple layers of cheesecloth will work.

[@sharonharrison3611]

A pudding cloth is much like any cloth. Cotton certain weave. Do some research. I'm sure you can find your answer.

[@sabrina9333]

I would like to know, it was in a cloth to a jello mold. Did I miss it?

[@stephaniewhitehead2881]

I love these videos. It feels so homey. And keep that rice water you washed the rice with to use for your hair. It's supposed to help you with breakages and keep you from shedding as much!

[@emzzzz905]

Also great as facial toning water

[@78widget]

That is really interesting, I didn’t know that. Love learning new things.🫶🫶🫶

[@NocturnEternal]

Wow, I gotta try that.

[@methineetongsuk5259]

I've seen people soak cloth in rice water and put it on their face like face mask 😊 not sure what the benefits are but I heard that rice water is used in many facial products

[@pamwilliams6630]

I can't tell you this video relaxed me. First time here and the sounds of the chickens and her just working in the kitchen calmed me. Our world is too noisy. Many thanks!!!!

[@tonyascarlett2413]

Welcome. These videos get me through many anxiety attacks. Gog bless you and yours.

[@justkiddin84]

It really is nice visiting the old days this way. We probably wouldn’t like all of the living like that, but parts are really cool! Check out the one where they dress up for the wedding! They talk quietly, but it’s cool seeing how it probably worked.

[@jrose353]

You should also checkout wilderness cooking. Both great channels for this.

[@tonyascarlett2413]

​@@tonyascarlett2413I also suffer from anxiety and panic disorders, and I find there videos so calming. I'm also fascinated by the different ways in which the fireplace is use for cooking, with the different cooking vessels specifically for boiling and simmering, frying/sauteing, and even baking.

[@missyyouknow6002]

Loved the chickens in the window, they were seeing if you had more apples! Looks like a delicious meal. Happy fall! 🍃 🍂 🍁

That beautiful rooster jumped up after the hen, like, what’s up there, woman? Move over!😂🐓

[@suzannehughes8697]

Hi Justine this recipe took me back to my childhood, my mum used to make pea and ham soup, she would boil the ham for a couple of hours, maybe more, and then take it out to cool, then she would cook the peas in the ham water, when they were cooked she would cut up some of the ham and add it to the soup mixture, it was delicious, this reminded me of that very much, we would have it with crusty bread, it was such a filling meal, happy days, thanks Justine love these videos, bye from UK xxx

[@chaotic_crafter]

Do you remember the "pea and ham... fae a chicken" stock cube adverts? 😂 That might just have been in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 right enough.

[@justkiddin84]

Sounds delicious! We do any kind of dried bean the same way. So nice on a chilly day! And good for you!

[@foxawaycottage7272]

Split pea soup is one of our favorite comfort foods when winter's chill is in the air. The Carolina rice pudding would be a unique dessert for Thanksgiving. It would provide some welcome variety among the more common desserts.

Your rooster looks like my rooster “foghorn.” He’s the sweetest most polite rooster. And your black cat looks like my cat “doom.” They’re both the best boys. I’ve never done apple rice pudding but I’d like to try it next apple season. My yearly tradition with my homegrown apples is to thickly slice them and sprinkle with cinnamon and eat in a sandwich on toasted bread with peanut butter. It’s like the freshest pb&j you’ve ever had.

[@dianemacfie-loucks6392]

For the majority of my childhood, my family and I grew up pretty poor. We had 7 of us altogether. Pea soup was a staple in our household because it was cheap and my mom could stretch it and make it last for many meals!
