Historic Cooking FAIL |1805 Carolina Snowballs|

[@aliciaeakins2578]

I've noticed this before, but it has never been as high stakes as it is with this recipe, but you do tend to leave too much air/empty space in your pudding cloths. Ie, when you tie it you let the cloth go a bit lax, meaning that water can get in. Try twisting it REALLY tight and making sure it stays tightly twisted while you the the string very, very tight. The knot should be located immediately above your filling: no space or extra cloth at all. I love your channel!

[@kerriefryer1299]

And possibly leave them to cool a bit and squeeze it all together to form properly.

[@bonniegarber9915]

That's the 2 things that I was thinking, also! I think cooling quite a bit.

[@2enigma8]

I agree

[@nadenegordon7639]

Yes, my mother taught me that, and also to wet the cloth in the boiling water beforehand. I've never had a fail.

[@Aurora_262]

I was just about to post this. lol Not that I have ever cooked any traditional puddings. I learned this from an old English channel. It grossed me out how they boiled Everything. So it just kinda stuck with me that the pudding cloths have to be tight.

Doesn't matter if the rice is in a ball. It will taste great, especially with that lovely sauce. Justine..you look so lovely. I am happy that you are having a good pregnancy. I am a mom of 4. Last pregnancy was twins. Oops! I am blessed with a son, a daughter and twins that were a girl and a boy..in that order. Blessings to you and Ron with the new family member.

That was just plain funny and something I can relate to. I’ve had more than one recipe go south on me. I’m sure it happened in the 1800s too!

[@jaydubbyuh2292]

Mrs Justine, all of your audience admires you so very much. You are in the early months of your pregnancy, and you are already a lovely woman and of course pregnancy makes women twice as beautiful inwardly and outwardly. It is splendid to watch you practice the old paths and the good way for our edification. God bless you and your husband and child. DEO Vindice

Your facial expressions 🤣! Reminded me of watching an old silent movie. Then here comes Ron eating it up like it was steak and lobster. You both gave me a much needed laugh.

[@Rose274]

Justine you are positively glowing. This video made me smile so much. I hope you’re feeling well. Much love and blessings to you both.

[@JJSmith-rx6vh]

I made this last week. I tied it real tight, in a ball, tied it by the apple did one that had cut apple. Pictures on facebook. My sauce didn't turn out. We just poured the butter over the rice-ball. We enjoy your Channel.

[@JJSmith-rx6vh]

When a recipe fails, try again. Rematch on this.

Ron is a wise man…better than my Mom’s. 😂😂 Congrats to you both on the arrival of your new little colonist. 😊

Ron... You are a good man Charley Brown. It's not about lying, but rather knowing the value of the effort that was made. Even when you are dealing with a train wreck.

[@writingraven3314]

I wonder if the kind of rice they used back then for this recipe would have been different, i.e. stickier, than we use today. I'm thinking of Japanese onigiri, which uses a sticky rice. Would they have used a stickier kind of rice for this recipe than the long grain white rice we would think of today?

[@Usagib-x4o]

Like Andrew Zimmerman says if it looks good eat it! I would eat it? Justine you're a fabulous cook! don't worry about it!

[@Gr8lightlover]

[@suzanneleonard5485]

You should make snow cream. Simply add heavy cream and sugar to a large bowl of fresh snow. Add just enough cream to make an ice cream consistency. Add a little vanilla flavoring. So good!

[@katfrench5003]

This was so funny. I've been in your shoes Justine. Being in the family way can bring a lot of funny times. Just enjoy.

[@justinanglin3693]

I love that you guys still post when it doesn't turn out perfect. It's pretty common with recipe trial, especially historic ones. I have to agree with your husband, though. Definitely would still eat that.

[@hiho8084]

Beautiful Mish-mish... I love that you take snow and melt it for the recipe.... I hope you are feeling well Justine...

[@denasigman511]

Justine, I was going through a very old cookbook I have and I found a recipe for something called "Lincoln Snowballs". It is exactly what you were doing however, it calls for paring and coring 5-6 small apples then in individual cheesecloths, put a piece of apple in the center and fill the cavity with rice then draw the cloth closed making sure the apple slice is covered with rice. Tie the cloth then steam all of them until the apples are soft. It says to serve it with a soft custard or any desired pudding sauce. It said you could also substitute apricots or peaches. The cookbook is called Practical Cookery...it was written in 1945 by the Dept of Food and Nutrition at Kansas State College. I suspect from how it is written, it's a textbook for either a home economics course or a nursing course...there's a lot of information on how to feed someone sick or convalescing. I stumbled across this book at a Habitat for Humanity Restore...pretty sure you could find a copy on eBay or Amazon. Honestly, it doesn't sound like a very appetizing recipe and from your reaction, I think you would agree but I wanted to share this with you ❤

[@peggychu3002]

Oh Ron…..that was the sweetest thing!!! A pregnant woman can cry at the drop of a hat and her taste buds have changed…..Justine, now try nutmeg. You may like it now.

[@v4victory665]

" Thats a snow blizzard" LOL !!! 😂

I will say, this was funny. Two favorite lines: “Snow…balls?” “That is vile!”

[@lizhendrickson2434]

[@jillianfriedrich7567]

I am finally watching the making of the snowballs. I watched the chew and chat already and now I want to see if I can figure these out. 😊

[@theoneandonly1158]

Love these videos. I have over 20 years of cooking experience. I love the learning blows life gives us. 😂 So i was reading the receipt and there's a part that says "tie them up close". The way you tied the cloth is way too lose. So in essence, the cloth is your mold, next time, roll it into an tight ball, nice and taught. You can double or triple the cloth.

[@kathynorris2371]

Thanks for sharing and the beautiful scenery!🙏❤️❄️⛄️😛

[@Emlo55011]

Your videos are a peaceful time for me. Something so tranquil after a hard day. God bless you and your family. Looks delicious! By the way, I enjoyed your rant on the other channel. Plastics, never thought about it till now. Thank you!

[@righton6442]

Just as it is at any time in history, sometimes recipes don't turn out. (I know they don't for me anyway.) but I'm not a great cook even in modern times. I would have starved to death in 1805. Nice to see you keeping it real. :)

[@TerrisaVenus]

Your videos are always so serious. This made me laugh and showed your beautiful personalities!

I remember this as a pudding as described. I forgot where I had it or when probably in Williamsburg somewhere or North Carolina. I only know I liked it and had never come across the receipt for it. Thanks. I'm going to make some, minus the wine. Never had it as snowballs before. Take Care and Stay Safe.

[@ireneferro6481]

Justine you are being too hard on yourself! Ron likes it. God bless him. I’m sure it tastes better than it looks. ❤

[@harrisonmantooth7363]

Poor Justine, after making a face when she tasted the sauce I thought, UH OH! This isn't turning out as planned and, I thought she was going to cry there for a while. All in all she was worried about her husband not liking it. You're a very good wife Justine, you prove each time you prepare a meal for you and your husband.

[@geraldlogue7620]

[@jugheadjones5458]

How much dirt was in your snow water from scraping your ladle on the ground? 🤣 Nice video. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing. We’re supposed to get 5”-8” of snow tomorrow here in Middle Tennessee! Can’t wait! My wife works at a grocery store and everyone is going nuts, stocking up with about a month’s worth of food. The roads will only be bad for a day, or 2 at most.

[@PeaceIsJesusChrist]

Girl, lately, it seems I have failures or semi failures on a fairly regular basis! 😂 And sometimes, you know that you know you followed the directions. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Certain things, especially pastries, can be so finicky (like the dough not being cold enough when you bake it!) that you almost have to hold your mouth right! 😂 I get a laugh out of it, shrug my shoulders and get curious trying to solve the mystery and get excited to try again. Hehe! I love that you shared this with us. It’s fun to see other’s experiences. Even Julia Child had mishaps-she said that was just part of cooking, and she was right!! 🥰

[@terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940]

You both are so sweet! I think that the second reciept is better because it has egg in it to hold it together. also the rice that was used was more glutenous like sticky short grained rice. I would try the second reciept! Good job! I bet it did taste good like a rice pudding! I really love watching you cook!!

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks for sharing this with us, whether the recipe works or not!

[@Jjustice_76]

One recipe I found online,said to place them in cold water. Bring to a boil and boil for the hour or so. Your water was already boiling when you added them. Maybe everything has to start out cold? 🤷‍♀️ Your pudding cloths were also steaming hot before assembling them.

[@123JustBecause]

The baby bump though….so excited for both of you!

[@jacquieweare2220]

Oh my gosh. I love your expression.... It's kind of how people look when I cook....

[@mrs.brunke443]

Ron certainly knows which side his bread is buttered on. Bless him for being a good husband. Though it didn't turn out to be the snowballs that you had planned it reminded me a little of the apple rice pudding I often made for my kids. As we cooks know, not every recipe turns out well; sometimes the recipe just isn't right and sometimes the cook slips up somewhere. But honestly, that's why we have chickens and pigs. All mistakes gladly accepted by them! You look wonderful by the way.

[@BeccaBean2020]

[@bonniewills2814]

I'm thinking that the bag needs to be tighter, leaving no gaps. Also, the recipe that calls for the apples to be cut small also calls for three egg yolks, which might help keep the balls tight. Next time it will be great!

[@marykopydlowski4654]

[@mazarinf5130]

This feels like an aspirational recipe, the ones that sound nice but no one ever had the actual time and patience for. Also, the snowballs Trevor was doomed to fail. Trying to book that rice AROUND an apple? Lol, no way. If it were partially boiled and sticky?

[@TheCookiecupcakes]

Ron at the end omg cracked me up love you both.

[@beefrick9957]

Aww it made me so sad to see you tear up when the balls fell apart. It’s ok!!!! Who cares what it looks like as long as it tastes delicious and clearly your hubby thought it was amazing. We make cinnamon sugar rice for our kids all the time and it looks awful but tastes so good. I just know it will be a fond memory for my kids growing up. Remember, it’s the love and intention and not the presentation that matters.
