[@lisapop5219]

Yes! You definitely can buy dill pickle relish. We hate sweet pickles too

[@SantaSmiles]

Pickled beets = borsch soup. Simple, easy, super delish! Perfect for winter nights or lunch!

[@susanfreeman6350]

My canning shelves are nowhere near as full as yours, but it’s so satisfying to look at the fruits (literally!🙂) of your labor. The jars look so beautiful all lined up! I tend to freeze my chicken broth, but can the beef bone broth. That’s my “pure gold” item…like your lard. Congratulations on your bountiful harvest and successful preservations.

[@tinkertailorgardenermagpie]

For the beets, look up a Russian vinaigrette recipe! It’s not a salad dressing but more like their version of potato salad. It’s a delicious & beautiful mix of beets, potatoes, sometimes carrots, & dill pickle, plus fresh onion, with a simple dressing. I can’t stop eating it. You may find you will continue to pickle beets just to make this recipe! (it may typically be made w/fresh beets, cooked, but you can adapt with pickled beets & just adjust seasonings/dressing).

[@angelafritz4917]

Interesting- will have to try this!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

That sounds good! That’s for sharing!

[@RobinL4715]

You are an inspiration! I know how much work all that food required from seed to storage!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!

[@mandymorgan3929]

I love pickled beets with goats cheese and crackers at Christmas ❤

[@dizzyandweird]

the joy and pride you have is so sweet - i loved the enthusiasm when you were talking about getting the lard from your own pigs! :D

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Lard, definitely a coveted possession around here.

[@kimlettau4167]

Beautiful pantry! Ours is not as glamorous as yours but it serves it purpose. 2 years worth of food! Praise God we had the energy and produce to do it all! 😊

[@LizGross]

Life got busy and I took quite a few weeks away from KZbin. Yours was the first channel I caught up on. I appreciate that your videos have a distinct topic, focus on skills/lessons, and still maintain a bit of personality. Thanks for making this content for us!

[@caroltomlinson9164]

You have done all this in four years! What an achievement!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kulalokong7044]

this is cool the fact u do this with only ur family

[@joannak4640]

Such a beautiful pantry! You will all be eating good for sure. The whole family really worked hard this year and it really shows in the abundance of good, healthy food you have for stores for this year. Happy holidays to all ❤

[@sararussell6182]

If i can something my family wont eat I'll feed it to my chickens, they love everything. :)

[@TaureanDreams]

Great point

[@undertheumbels]

Re: pickled beets, they are great served in a falafel or chicken Sharma wrap. Falafel is a great way to use up a ton of herbs too.

[@YasuTaniina]

Now I want a shawarma, but our shawarma place closed a few months ago when the owner retired 😭. I guess I could make some, but it's always so time consuming....

[@jennmeyer9715]

So beautiful! And a lot of hard work! Great job! ❤

[@gregbalc8300]

Amazing job! One kind of real blessed family!

[@iartistdotme]

Awesome for you all and can't wait to see you use them, too. So beautiful to look at all the work.

[@karenzorn773]

Always good to see you, great pantry tour, you all work so hard and it shows.

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

You and your family’s hard work has surely paid off. You all are doing it right 😊👍🏼

[@codymoffatt1281]

So much food. I love it!

[@adamsmith8797]

With your beets you can try to make beet soup(called "borscht" in english I believe) The basic ingredients are: broth, vegetables and of course beetroots. My mum will also add various things like white beans/boiled eggs potatoes or cabbage. For Christmas, she makes special mushroom dumplings....a special treat for our family! Google "barszcz czerwony" for the Polish recipes. Also a Swedish girl I used to date would also mix shredded beets with beef patties. Unfortunately I cant remember exactly what they are called. Like always, I absolutely enjoy the channel!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thanks for the idea!

[@adamsmith8797]

@@TheSeasonalHomestead My pleasure 🙂

[@rebeccagraf2962]

My parents came home from their Chilean mission making a salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, olives, hearts of palm, and beets, and avacado. All tossed with either olive oil and lemon or just Italian dressing. They didn't use pickled beets, but I am sure it would still be amazing.

[@rebeccagraf2962]

Oh also, I made baby food out of beets and avacado and whatever sweet thing they like. I felt like super mom! Lol.

[@bonniearmbruster8401]

I love your channel so much, you are the sweetest family

[@catracampolieto8989]

I always enjoy your pantry videos. ❤❤❤

[@bethanynelson3959]

Nice job, you guys are amazing! Such a satisfying feeling to have all that food safely stored and ready to go. I just put my canner away for the year, exhausting season, but so greatful I know how to preserve food. I even learned how to pressure can! Thank you for your inspiration.

[@samanthafitch952]

Awesome pantry! Your garden and pantry are my dreams🥰 love your Organization!

[@nancyseery2213]

You amaze me! You get so much done with the homestead, children, garden, canning and pregnant too! I have had those days of looking at what got canned and what got eaten and had to make some change for the next year. Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. God bless y'all and keep growing!!!!

[@buckonono7996]

You are such an inspiration! Beautiful pantry and everything is so nicely organized. Thank you for sharing with us again. I really enjoy your videos.

[@lindawilliams1658]

Love your pantry!! You work so hard for this beautiful panrty!! So inspirational ~ Congratulations on a successful harvest. We also have been using our Harvest Right freeze dryer!!

[@craigreason]

This year I went %100 Organic and was already plant based Only. I had around $15,000 worth of dried goods including my own freeze dried produce, plus over 300 pressure canned jars of meals and produce. Then I went %100 Organic only and emptied all the food in the trash. I did not give any away because I do not like purposely poisoning people with toxin laden foods. So now I have organic seeds, hundreds of empty jars, a freeze dryer waiting for action, 3 pressure canners waiting for action a dehydrator and so much more. The only things I don't have is somewhere to grow food and someone willing to do it with.

[@robinmiller3863]

You and your family are amazing! I feel like I work pretty hard, but you all guys make me feel lazy. Wonderful channel!!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@hickoryhillinthebigwoods-r759]

I had the same problem with my garlic. It was so disappointing to throw out so much!! I actually gave some to friends because it needed to be picked through. I did manage to pull out all my larger cloves and plant them. They all came up! You all always do so well stocking up.

[@conorkilroe]

Pickled beets with sweetened whipped feta is delicious, add honey, drop of Olive oil and some s&p to feta and blitz in a food processor.

[@user-ed4uf5xy6y]

Hello ,, your determination is so cute to see , your pantry is so nice . Congratulations ❤❤❤

[@Root_and_Fleurish_Farm]

Try hard boiling some eggs and letting them soak in the pickled beets and then turning the eggs into deviled eggs. They turn pink and get a firmer texture. We love them.

[@Semiboes]

I really appreciate your tour! So much food! But from my own experience I know, you need that amount. This year we had almost no fruits to harvest and nobody else had. So we weren't able to cook that amount of Jam we really need. Now I am glad, to have some jars from former years left. Greetings from Austria. Hoping for a better 2024.

[@lintlamb8397]

I really admire how tidy and organized you are. Everything is lovely and looks so delicious. I am so proud of yall!

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!

[@nicolewallace4051]

Thank you for the cranberry applesauce idea!!

[@YasuTaniina]

I liked the idea too. I love cranberries

[@lindabishop8738]

Just discovered you and am greatly enjoying. Very inspiring. Keep up the good work🙂

[@gillgallon9631]

Always good to watch, Thank you for sharing

[@veronicaferris6633]

Ooooh beetroot salad!!, My mum is Swedish and makes a beetroot salad for Christmas from pickled beets! Diced then into tiny cubes Mix with graded green apple Dollop of horseradish Mayo to make it creamy Salt pepper to taste It will turn pink and look really weird 😅 Ps I think I’m missing an ingredient… 🤷‍♀️ Serve on rye bread or with meatballs 🤤

[@louise6459]

Some recipes calls for sour cream and dijon mustard too. It is delicious with meatballs!

[@IfYouGiveAGirlAnAcre]

Been looking forward to this video all month!! It looks fantastic!! Thank you for sharing your pantry! You’re our inspiration and goals! ❤️

[@diablomom]

For the soggy kimchi , you can drain some of the juice and make kimchi fried rice. We will eat it for breakfast with an egg on top.

[@libertybellemedia7165]

Try a savory beet, slicing or grating then salted. Make chips and salad toppers by dehydrating or freeze drying. Powder your dried beets and use in smoothies etc

[@suezqcamacho]

I can only dream of a pantry like this

[@serenababy6358]

Beets go nicely with grilled chicken breast salads (I like lemony Greek seasoning or fresh crushed garlic on meat) and add red onions, feta cheese, bell peppers, tomatoes, greek olives, banana peppers, romaine and butter lettuce. Add farro or yellow rice for side.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

This does sound good! We’ll try to incorporate them like this in our next salad!!

[@bastian_knorr]

We love your content. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻

[@debrabyler3599]

We like a lettuce salad with pickled beets, mandarin oranges, and feta cheese with raspberry vinaigrette.

[@stephencameron1709]

Beautiful pantry tour. Great job. Your hard work definitely paid off. I liked cutting the end off the box to make better use of space. Val C

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@michellemiller6272]

Rinse the beets first, then Add sugar to the pickled beets. Slice and add to salads

[@reapergrim76]

Awesome to see! 😊

[@lynicefirey5008]

Pickled beets chopped up and added to salad add a nice flavor without eating it straight!

[@willbass2869]

Very impressive. Organizing to the "Nth" degree for sure. Im thinking of blanching/freezing a lot more things this summer and then waiting until cooler weather to can them.... especially the longer processing meat containing jars. Small kitchen and oh so hot Texas summers......

[@sacredmommyhood]

We're camp "dill" relish. We're in AR now, but we lived in TX and CA for decades prior to AR and dill relish was abundant in both states. Now I can my own dill pickles/relish, so have not noticed at all if it is scarce here in AR stores. 😆

[@daniellevilloria227]

We LOVE to make borsch with pickled beets! You could also use up some of those frozen tomatoes if you’re making a Ukrainian style. Start with a beef bone broth and you’ve got yourself a delicious and hearty winter soup!

[@meghannmcgivney2109]

We sautée our slices beets with sliced sweet potatoes in some butter and then at the very end sprinkle some brown sugar on them and stir. All four of my kids will eat them! Sometimes I add in sliced apples near the end too.

[@ronaldthoms2147]

I commend your husband for canning dill pickle relish My mom canned so much Love your dedication for wholesome foods 😊

[@pomicultorul]

great job, thank you for sharing!

[@farahkitchensecrets1394]

MashaAllah boht zabardast 😊

[@curatingaesthetics]

You should put the kimchi in a blender to purée it, freeze dry it, and then powder it. Then you can turn it into a kimchi sauce instead. Put it on pasta or use as dipping sauce.

[@theacrepatch]

I use beetroot in a salad with roasted pumpkin, baby spinach, toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

[@breadbkr5266]

Picked beets with goat cheese and walnut salad 😋

[@EliSabeth-wc7xn]

Try this recipe for beets: slice them very thinly and bake them in the oven with olive oil, feta cheese, rosemary and honey - delicious😋

[@Christen-G]

I like to put pickled beets on green salads along with whatever other toppings.

[@KBNoyes]

You inspire me

[@adahostetler6351]

I hard boil eggs then peel and put in bowl and dump a jar of pickled beets over them, the eggs turn nice and pink and a good source of protein in my husband's lunch!plus he likes the beets too with the eggs

[@lizbratcher2919]

I would put pickled beets on salads along with a lot of other things, so that they’re just one part of a greater salad, Kind of disguised in it with a really good dressing. Makes me think of the beets at Jason’s deli on the salad bar!

[@OneFellSwoopDesign]

I totally agree -- dill pickle relish is so much better! Try making borscht... So yummy!

[@gabygarcia8367]

For beets I prefer to make gnocchi with them (beet&potato gnocchi) and preserve them in the freezer, I make a gluten free recipe that turns fenomenal ❤

[@nursenextdoor2554]

Can I ask how you do this please

[@gabygarcia8367]

@@nursenextdoor2554 Hi! I used a recipe I found here in YT (Homemade Beet Gnocchi, from Goodful) I just replaced common flour by the gluten free.mix I make myself (400gr corn starch, 300gr tapioca starch and 300gr rice flour). You can use your own gluten free flour, maybe you need to put a little more gluten free flour but just add as needed and control not to have a hard dough, you need to feel it soft...if it's a bit sticky just throw some GF flour under and above, you can manipulate and make gnochis with your hand and cut them with a knife ...just let them rounded.

[@MazePage]

Take your pickled beets to church and give them away 😉 If I lived near you guys, I'd come get them for myself 😄😋

[@horticultureandhomes]

Nice to see a stocked pantry! Canning recipes for pickled beets aren't that good. Try this instead for your pickling liquid... 1Cup H20 1 Cup sugar 1cup cider vinegar Yum on the dill relish. I make it too. It makes good potato salad. I'm going to try the cowpea soup, if I get the chance to plant the peas.

[@oldsmerchik]

It looks incredible. Great food supplies! I would try it all

[@do4699]

Pickled beets are good diced and added to a salad.

[@workinonit9562]

I use pickled beets in salads for the winter in place of tomatoes since the tomatoes are terrible in the winter.

[@austrafrican5307]

You could use the beets in a Nomato sauce. Makes a good marinade or dipping sauce

[@wholenewperspective]

Great job

[@godsprecious6884]

Wow!

[@AnyKeyLady]

Thank you for posting the tour! These are life goals for me but we try to do what we can in our limited space. It just goes to show how much food we need to grow and preserve for self sufficiency. If there is one thing you could grow or preserve yourself but cannot what would it be? Would there be anything else that you would want to extend in the future? Best wishes from London, UK x

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Great question on the preserving. Tropical fruits would be high on the list of things we wish we could grow here. For preserving, Cam is chiming in and saying, “fresh caught salmon from the ocean!!”

[@nursenextdoor2554]

Take a trip to Alaska for salmon season and do a joint video with @simplelivingAlaska now that would be amazing for me

[@LittleKi1]

I hope a glass of wine was enjoyed in this production. 🤣 Sweet, either way. I'm definitely dialing in the highest and best use for everything: canned, dried, freeze-dried, frozen, or held in cold storage or in the ground. There's a sweet spot for everything.

[@YasuTaniina]

They don't drink wine

[@patriciahogg5763]

Beautiful systems! Love the organization! Do you record contents of each freezer somewhere? 😎

[@carissawhite481]

Beets are great raw in smoothies - and in chocolate cake if you don't like the taste of them. Also, some studies are showing how beets improve athletic performance, so if any of your kids are athletes getting them to eat them in smoothies would be great for them.

[@samelwir2332]

put the pickled turnips in a salad in slaw, sliced thin mixed with the dressing you will not notice.

[@darlamanke3078]

I use beets, zucchini, or garbanzo beans in my fruit smoothies. Just a small amount. With all the fruit it hides the veggie taste but still get the goodness of vegetables.

[@pinayladyoz8044]

Pickled beets put it in beef burger or slice it thinly then mix it in the salad.

[@brandynash1409]

We have a freeze dryer and dehydrator. My husband prefers summer squash and zucchini dehydrated because it come back in soups with a texture and doesn’t get mushy.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Good to know! I haven’t freeze dried and squash yet.

[@flutterby9013]

An Idea with Beets is Candied Beets. We do not care for Pickled Beets but love candied Beets. Its just the opposite really of pickled beets. Our recipe is 2 cups Sugar/1 cup vinegar. We also add 3 cloves to each jar we can. :) Love your pantry and storage.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you!

[@hannahsvoxx]

We love pickled beets but mine are darker than yours... not sure why. Anyway, I like to chop mine and top salads with it. It's a nice pop of acid alongside cheese and nuts on a basic green salad. My husband likes his with cheese and deli meat on crackers. And a timely suggestion is making a spread - almost like a beet relish- and putting it on bread for leftover turkey sandwiches! It looks like you used pickle spice. You could use cloves, allspice, and cinnamon. We prefer that variant. Also, we've added cherry juice instead of water in the brine and it's so special. It certainly doesn't lower acidity and the flavor is really nice.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Great tips! The beets as an add on to a salad sounds tasty!!! Thank you 🙏

[@YasuTaniina]

My husband hates sweet pickles, but I remembered my parents buying dill relish growing up and got that for him. It's not hard to find, even in idaho

[@jensdailylife4656]

Could always cut the beets and put them on a salad to hide them. I like mine in red wine vinegar

[@TaureanDreams]

I love a salad full of beets!

[@innenwirkung6438]

Thanks for this innteresting video. Can you maybe make a video about your fermented foods? Like you make them, store them and use them? And how you take something out of the jars but it gets still good

[@YasuTaniina]

She does have some fermenting videos

[@user-lz5fi1um7s]

turn pickled beets into harrvad beets..add butter, sugar , and a cornstarch slurry

[@melaniemorris7757]

Pickled beets make great pickled eggs!

[@davidmitchell1304]

I would drain the juice off the beets, add sugar and cornstarch. After it thickens, add the beets and warm up. I think it would be more like Harvard Beets.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

Pickled beets. Make borscht with them.

[@lindabjork2067]

Beets are great freeze dried. They really are a great snack. I like beets and my babies really liked fresh beets. Borst is a wonderful soup. I would make borst and add sour cream with it. But for your family, I'd suggest freeze drying them as snacks. They are like chips.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

I love that idea!

[@clherms]

Love your organization also. What are the liners on your shelves? Cut and made out of what? Purchased? Also love your cold room. I always wondered how you achieved this and then saw your AC and went, duh. So it's simply a small room with a window ac? TIA.

[@sandraburke1258]

[@user-lz5fi1um7s]

over the yrs I have realized....if you dont love it..toss it..just taking up space and jars you could use for other things...its a learning curve...as a long time gardener and preserver..its not worth fretting about
