Clearing land for our Greenhouse Build + Picking Cloudberries & Making homemade Jam!

#HomeFreeAlaska #OffGrid #Alaska
Homestead chores never stop. We're working hard to knock out our "to do" list before winter hits. One of the things we need to get done is clear a spot for our future greenhouse build. This means cutting up a bunch of downed trees & hauling them away for firewood. We plan to lay the foundation for the greenhouse this summer so that we can continue to work on the greenhouse build even after the 1st snowfall. And HOPEFULLY by spring 2024, we can plant our first garden!
With hard work comes a little play right? So the boys & I are picking cloudberries down by the pond & making homemade cloudberry jam!
CLOUDBERRY JAM:
Ingredients:
500g fresh cloudberries or "bakeapples" as some say
125g sugar
¼ cup (50g ) water
Instructions:
1. Place berries into a heavy pan; heat gently until juice starts to flow.
2. Add sugar and water, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3. Cook, stirring frequently until thickened (8-10) minutes
4. Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch head space; wipe jar rims thoroughly.
5. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes or store in refrigerator for up to 3 months. Enjoy!

Out of all the projects we've done and still have to do, the greenhouse build is something I'm really looking forward to! But first, we have to make space for it. Cloudberries, the sought after sweet, citrusy berry of the North! Some have asked me what they taste like, I think they taste just like peaches or apricots! So yummy! As our little homestead starts to take shape, I'm so encouraged by the first jars of homegrown food & fresh eggs from our young flock of chickens! It's only the beginning! Thanks for joining us for another video friends. What's your favorite jam?😍

[@drbillable]

when building your raised bed gardens I would suggest that you look at making them at least 3 feet high buried a foot in the ground with foam around the part underground. after you fill the outside with you could fill the bottom half of the beds with stick, branches from your cut off trees, this is will break down over the years making good gardening spil and you don't have to move as much dirt. then fill the rest of the beds with soil. you could cover the beds with landscape fabric during the winter so they gather heat in the spring so you can plant earlier. just some thoughts to making the beds easier for you all and get rid of some of your branches

So excited to see a video from y’all tonight. I was getting ready to head to bed when it came up. At first I thought it must be a short but was happy to see it was a full video. So sad LOL when it ended. So many exciting things happening on your homestead.

Thrilled to wake up and find a new video! But slightly concerned to see Joe in long trousers. Everything else was as expected; stunning video quality with creative shots; gorgeous little lads being little lads; Tina and Joe working hard at developing their slice of Heaven; Gunner and Bradley being adorable; Asher and Rusty being cute and the chickens being industrious and very attached to Joe! Thank you, Tina! xx

That was so fun. You know you made canning look so easy. I’ve never done it but I just might. You guys are sure working hard. It will pay off this winter when you plenty of wood and don’t have freeze out there getting wood.
