Early Summer Garden Harvest | Pickled Fish + Preserving Eggs

Can you please show more videos of the garden. You guys do such a wonderful job.

[@kathymc234]

Gardening videos are my favorite.

Yes charlotte I would like to more of the garden too! ☺️

A great way to store your herb butter for longer is to freeze it. Once you've mixed the butter, spread it along the edge of a parchment paper and roll to a tight sausage. Put it in the fridge until it's hard enough that you can cut it into slices (don't separate the slices). Roll it back up in it's sausage shape and put the whole thing in the freezer. As you have already cut it you can then just take out as much as you need and leave the rest of the butter in the freezer for another time!

The Garden ! My most favorite subject !!!! Weeeell. there's the fishing; Mmm the Cabin. the bees, Oh yea the snowmobile rides... Mmm and that boat. Errrr all the drone shots. The cooking and canning... Oh yea. THE GARDEN... but then there is the adventure /travel. the fishing... Mmmmmm. Yea.... the Garden! ✨🌸✨

[@LiveAboard]

I see that you have Home Depot buckets. I used to buy those too until I realized my local restaurant throws out food grade white buckets! Now, I ask them to let me know when they have buckets and I pick them up. They are great and durable. I use them and feel some pride that I'm keeping them out of the dump. Hope this helps.

[@Jaynes-Path]

I tried to do that too but every one I asked said they keep them themselves or are sending them back to the company they came from for recycling. I wish I could get some that way!

[@thewisceeeggg1624]

@@Jaynes-Path you can ask at your local grocery store, the bakery. For the large buckets they have a waiting list and will call when one is available...

[@sharonaustin6944]

I worked in a restaurant and the manager let us have the food grade buckets with the sealable lids. I would buy cheap ground coffee and pour a cup of the dry coffee in the bucket, seal with the lid and let it sit for a few days. That would get rid of the pickle smell. We could then use the buckets to store dried beans and other bulk food. Now they sell special lids on Amazon. A snap on rim and screw top makes for really easy access.

[@RubyPlanet81]

I am Australian and I am in absolute awe of how beautiful Alaska is and the fishing! Your garden, preserves, cooking, keeping chickens and bees are great too. My dream is to set up aquaponics to grow herbs, berries, tomatoes and harvest silver and golden perch and yabbies (small freshwater crayfish that taste sweeter than prawns or lobster). Can't wait for your next video 😊

[@yx6889]

OMG, the color of that jam is just gorgeous! And your garden looks so healthy! I am so envious lol! Thank you for the videos, I love seeing what you two are up to.

Pepper is my favourite.

[@douglascunningham3126]

Absolutely thrilled to see video from you two!! Have you considered making a chimichurri sauce with all your herbs? It s a delicious Argentinian condiment and easy to make. It goes well on meats and as a dipping sauce for breads. Vinegar, herbs, salt, and spices are the basis of it

[@sheilamorse2624]

I love love love how creative you both are in the kitchen. Cooking and preserving can be a joy and you have captured that beautifully.

[@hoosierladyus48]

We've been freezing our pesto in ice cube trays. Once frozen we pop them out, bag them and back to the freezer. Each cube is a good serving or the perfect size for adding to sauces.

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

That's a great idea! I hope I can get enough basil to make pesto. I live in the total opposite environment. In the tropics, right on the beach. The salt air and previous 4 hurricanes, Alma hit us head on, have left my plants a bit hagered but we're getting to add a few leaves to salads at least.

[@terrimoore5181]

My son is a executive chef and he taught me to freeze my pesto in Ice tray. Drizzle a little olive oil on top of each in tray. Freeze for a few hours till solid. Once it frozen place in zip lock baggie. You take out just the cubes you need when cooking.

[@tampafruitgrower8913]

Two tips I learned from making ceviche: put the fish in a colander so when the fish sweats out the moisture, the fish does sit in the moisture. Two don't wash of the salt. A lot of salt will be flushed in the moisture removal process. Plus if you are washing the fish your adding moisture back in and defeating the work you just did.

[@pqtpat7734]

When did they say they were making ceviche lol? It’s pickled

But would sure love to wake up to the chickens waking up and a kiss from the dogs while rocking on the porch with the best cup of coffee, ever!! God bless you!!Hmmm. It looks like I could sprinkle a few comas and dots. Nah!

[@kekiplus1andonly]

This is amazing, loving your channel more everyday

[@juliemcgugan1244]

I also leave some of my bolted veg for the bees, but also collect seed from them for next season. It is really satisfying to see, as a gardener!

[@leannwhite620]

Yummy! To keep the pesto thicker, skip the rinse or after picking the leaves off the stems, put in a pillowcase dedicated to the kitchen. Go outside and spin it in the pillowcase over your head shaking it up a few times to rearrange the leaves to get more water out. Make Eric do it so you don't look goofy.

[@deecilla5087]

I just can't explain how excited I get when you show a bee in the video. Most likely it's one of yours and it just tickles me pink to think that even they are working in tandem with you and Eric.

FINGERTIPS SORE from peeling hard boiled eggs? 😢 Try this: crack the fat end of the shell and get rid of the little pieces. Then turn the bowl of a common teaspoon over and slide it between the shell and the whites towards the small end of the egg. 2-3 times under the shell and you’re done; on to the next. You’ll be done in no time when doing large batches. Been watching since you started the channel...love all you do. 💕🌵

Y'all know I look forward to these videos every year, so, there's that. 🤣 But, I really do love seeing the garden and all your wonderful harvests and how you preserve the produce. It's so inspirational to me and I thoroughly appreciate them. Great haul once again as well! I made my first ever. dill pickles yesterday and got a jar chilled. I just tasted one thinking it won't be as good as it can be until next week, but I just had to try it. I am so stinkin' amazed! They are sooo good! And, because you guys are always messing with recipes I felt emboldened to mess with the one I could find that sounded the least complicated and I am so glad I did! So, thank you for your inspiration! And, yep, the cucumbers came from my own garden. Whoop!

[@omaruth]

One of my favorite things to watch of you, is all the different canning that you do. The pickled pike looked so good!! Wish I could try that 😊 the color of your jam looked so pretty, the bold red or purple color. As always thank you for letting us into your lives. ❤😍

[@gregmccarter5253]

Sorry for so many consecutive comments, ish. So, with citrus I've learned through trial and error. Zest the citrus fruits, then add the zest to your brine, then juice them into the brine after. Discard the pith and pulp (the white parts of the fruit, as they contain the bitter flavor compounds) Especially with a fish with such a delicate flavor as our northern pike. You guys are always on point! Just some tips from a dude that learned the hard way.

I love to see your beautiful garden in Sommer . That lettuce is huge . You guys grow such beautiful veggies and eat very well !

[@CheryPet93]

My mother makes quite a lot of jam and jelly. She uses mostly fruits, but sometimes she uses elderflowers. She does use a ration 1.2 :2 sugar and pectin to liquid (juice) for jelly (like the one you were making) and 1:2 sugar and pectin to liquid a.k.a. fruits. If filled up hot in sterilized jars like you did, you don't need to heat them up again, you can store them in a cool place (no fridge needed) for at least a year. After a year there is no problem with it getting mouldy or something like that, it just looses its flavour. (We have had some jars that were 7 years old. There was no problem with it, it just did taste like watery sugar and not like fruit ;)).

Loved every minute of your gleaning. Brought back fond memories of my childhood … we always had a large garden.

I’ll be 75 in a couple of months. 😉Thanks for your excellent videos. Look forward to your adventures. Living vicariously through them. 💞

I think the paraffin was to seal the jars, as they could not reuse the lids, and did not have money to buy more lids.
