Try to repot some of the celery at the old house and transport it will continue to harvest well into the winter in a sunny area in the house. Celery is really hardy. or replant asap and maybe get some self-sustainable

[@AcreHomestead]

That's a good idea!!

Hi Becky, I made the same enchilada sauce and had the same syphoning issue happen to me in the pressure canner. I have had that happen to my tomatoes that I canned too. It's really disappointing to lose product and I am furiously researching what causes this. I had proper headspace, rings on finger tight, and properly vented and cooled my canner. If you find out anything or have any other tips please let us know! :)

[@MooncieLoo]

Yesss thanks!

[@MooncieLoo]

Wow! I see that Harvest Right is now doing layaways for their freeze dryer. So cool.

[@justmeFLB]

Tip: to crisp up limp celery, soak them in water. After you wash them up, put them in a basin of water and store in the refrigerator overnight They suck up the water and crisp right back up. It actually doesn't take 24hrs, a couple of hours and boom FIRM AND CRISPY. 👌🏽😉

[@TracyBirds]

Or before you use them, let them soak in ice water, works like a charm!

[@isnadiafatimah2567]

Yeahh, it works for lettuce too.. Basically all the leavey vegetables will work.

Yes!! We do this with carrots, parsnips, radishes, etc. We also keep asparagus upright in a small bit of water.

@Susan Miller nothing better then being retired and cooking with a touch of gardening thrown in. This year I just did herbs, but I lost most of them due to my seizures acting up all summer. I’ll just have another go at it next year. You’ll be an AAA+++++ cook in no time. I started cooking at 9 and love it. Sad to say I am not much of a baker, but I still bake. I can make bread with no problem. Other desserts just don’t turn out as pretty as I want them. Oh well but mostly it all tastes good. My problem is (like Becky) I just look at a recipe and do my own thing lol. I don’t measure bad habit. I am trying to make myself follow recipes and then change anything I want to next time I make it if needed. Happy Cooking and don’t forget an apron. Shhhh I am a messy cook lol.

If you put your celery in water and put it back in the refrigerator it gets the crunchiest sweetest best taste that I ever imagined. Give it a try! For those pieces you’re going to use in your potato salad, I would definitely do it. Be sure to cut the bottom off so the water can soak back up inside the celery shaft.

[@emerald-goddess]

Putting aluminum foil around celery seems to help keep it fresh in the fridge once it's washed and dried off I had put it in the fridge that way and it kept for almost a month

[@jennfetters4909]

This is a great tip! I’ve tried it and have always stored celery this way. Learned it from a pizza place that I worked at. They did it in much larger quantities of course but a nice air tight will work wonders.

I'm going to do that right now. I have celery in the fridge just sitting there waiting to be used. In water it'll go.

[@judyrosy]

To keep the crust from getting soggy from the tomatoes without having to salt and drain them...put a layer of grated mozzarella down on the crust first...then the tomatoes, then the filling on top. We absolutely love it. I make this pie the same way but instead of just cheese, chopped basil and mayo..... I use drained spinach and tons of garlic, basil, cheese and mayo.

[@dnmckay]

Can you taste the mayo? I’m not a mayonnaise lover so I’m afraid if the flavor is strong in this pie I won’t care for it.

Becky, I buy extra produce and preserve it for winter soups and pot pies etc. I like to buy veggies on the mark down rack in our local grocery store and do the same thing. I feel I am saving money this way. I do the cleaning of the veggies and cutting them up and hubby does the vacuum sealing. We also buy our meat (there is just the 2 of us) when on sale and vacuum seal for just the two of us. I also do the same for say I want to cook for 4 or 5. Saves time and money. I also give frozen veggies and meat to family members as gifts and a recipe card on how to fix said dinner. I have found they really like to be given this as a gift. I also give cooked meals to those who need it cooked because they are sick or need it later in the week. Love watching you. Betty 🥰🥰🥰

[@tinkbel53]

I literally made tomato pie last night when I saw this video come out! How fun!! It was like we were actually in the kitchen together, not just virtually in the kitchen together! ☺️ I don’t even like to tomatoes, but this is one of my favorite meals! Pro tip: in our house we add celery seed or celery salt to the crust and bacon, chives, and basil to the layers of tomatoes. Sooooooo good! The bacon is a wonderful addition! I always tell people that it seems like a strange food, but just wait till you actually try it! I truly love you channel, Becky!!

[@beverlyhvidding2772]

Most of my soup recipes start with a sauté of onion, carrot, and celery. So when I have those items and they are starting to get a little iffy, I sauté a big skillet of them and freeze it that way. It really speeds up soup making as I get out to thaw and then quickly am adding the other ingredients. All the chopping and peeling is behind me.

[@firequeen2194]

I also dehydrate them. They rehydrate beautifully and cook up perfectly. Nothing goes to waste in my house, lol.

[@amladao]

🙋🏻‍♀️ Becky, You can use eggroll wrappers when making handheld apple pies for Josh. The crust will be more crispy instead of flaky. I also use the eggroll wrappers to make cheese sticks (mozzarella or pepper jack aka stuffed jalapeños). If I want it extra crispy I do a simple flour, egg and breadcrumb/panko breading over the wrapper. You can also cook them using an air fryer instead of an oven.

[@heidiquayle5054]

It is delicious on fish ands just about anything.

Cellery, spinach, spring onions, chives, parsley, etc, even carrots. You can harvest them and stand them straight in water like cut flowers until you're ready to process them.

My family said they liked (actually loved) the pie and enjoyed the Italian sausage but said it was just as good if not better without it. They also said it would make a great dip. Thank you again!

I love the switch out editing. I will definitely copy the pie crust recipe. ❤️

Becky, thank you for the encouragement! I'm pumped 😎 I prepared and canned your jalapeño hot sauce recipe last night. Thank you for that enthusiasm 🙏 😊 When you acknowledged that food preservation is time consuming, I feel that same feeling every day and thankful for food preserving ideas you share.

Love home grown tomatoes! Your pie and especially that crust looks amazing!!!

[@normalara1417]

I had just watched Meg from Hollar Homestead make this tomatoes pie a few days ago, and now you're making it! That's Confirmation. I NEED to make & try this recipe. Looks very yummy! Thanks so much Becky. Wish Josh would allow you to film him a little more. He's such a sweetheart.💖

A few tips: 1. Catch the tomato juice from the tomatoes of your pie and use that otherwise including possibly reducing the tomato juice and then adding to your tomato pie for additional flavor (it's so worth it). 2. You can put white sugar in your blind baked pie crust set up as that will make slightly caramelized white sugar that adds an amazing dimension to subsequently otherwise baked goods. This tip is compliments of Stella Parks of Serious Eats. I suggest looking up this method as you can make baked sugar to use in baking without needing to use the sugar as weight for blind baking. Thank you for sharing your videos with lucky us!

What is “blind baking” & how do you “bake” sugar? Thank you!

Something for you to try- One of my favourite side veg dishes to go with a roast joint 🇬🇧is braised celery. I braise it in a covered dish in the oven. Celery, veg stock a knob of butter and seasoning (salt, black pepper and a smidgeon of nutmeg)

Quick tip for pie dough, if you don’t have vodka (or if you don’t want to use it because it’s expensive like my great grandma!) then you can also use a tbsp or so of white vinegar! I always have done this and the flavour doesn’t come through or anything but gets the same results as vodka.

I start growing my own garden about eight years ago and every year I try to grow something new I’ve been watching all of your videos and I just get inspired to keep growing good luck and thanks

You are too young but back in the 80's the Bisquick company printed a recipe for impossible pie. The tomato pie was sooooo good. You can make your own baking mix. Definitely worth digging up the recipe.

[@MeowsTheTime]

Janet, that's how I learned how to bake an Impossible Tomato Pie!

[@famous9222]

I still have the original Bisquick Zucchini Impossible Pie Recipe and your are right, it is delish!!

[@LUTfam4]

My gramma used to make that and it was so yummy! Thank you for reminding me.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Hmmm.. If you make this and add some Impossible burger meat to it, wouldn’t it be an Impossible Pie? Just saying… ☺️🤗

Yay!!! I downloaded so many of your videos to watch while I was on my cruise this last week and I’m so excited for new content!! Love you Becky!!

Yay! Thank you!

You could save the juice from the tomatoes for a vegetable broth. You can also save the tops and bottoms of the tomatoes along with onion skins in the freezer and when you get a goodly amount you can make vegetable broth.

[@susieq2544]

Next time when you want to get the juice out of the tomatoes, put them on your rack just as you did over the sink but Place the rack over a half sheet baking sheet and roast them in the oven. That way you catch the tomato juices in the baking sheet and you dry out the tomatoes at the same time. There is a ton of flavor in the tomato juices as you already know and you might be able to capture that juice into some kind of a drink or other idea that you might have.

[@debbiesalyer6038]

I live in the south and most add eggs to the pie .... sort of like a quiche.... I'm excited to try your version because it looks very delicious! 🍅🌻

[@suzannemanley862]

I wrap it in tinfoil as well as lettuce Reuse snd last weeks

[@JackieDoesKeto]

Cream of celery soup is one of my favourites!

[@rossicastellanos1333]

Ohh. Yum

[@MommaOG]

Ty Becky for giving Meg from Hollar Homemade because I made it from her recipe and it was delicious 🙂💐

[@lesleyblackie9913]

I like Josh's idea of adding sausage, but BACON! 🥓 It might work better if you added it as cooked and crumbled, and you would get a lighter more summery flavour than the sausage. Think BLTs.

[@theresadenaro2796]

OMG I am cracking up as you say that you are going to plate up the zucchini and onions and sit down and enjoy dinner because you just ate dinner as fast as you can because it was so delicious! Your passion for cooking is inspiring! I meal prep now and save a ton of money and feel so much better. Unfortunately no garden for me in the near future but I love watching your channel, you go girl!

[@tamaraameling1289]

Hi Becky, next time you make tomato pie (cuz I know you will) surprise Josh with a little protein, we always layer in cooked bacon to ours. YUM!!!

[@ayronsmama05]

I happened upon a Brenda Gantt video the other day and she was making pies. She made a rhubarb and something pie then decided to take the remaining pie crust and do hand pies. Her key was to add more flour to the dough to make it tougher in texture. And to roll it fairly thin. I remembered mama telling me that many years ago. I quit making hand pies cause the crust was not up to snuff. But I'm making some this weekend and I will remember this trick. Blessings y'all!!

[@OrdinaryOwens]

Josh says “you can taste the mayo. Don’t put that in there” I belly laughed…then the Italian sausage! Love this recipe! I want to try it so bad but in the middle of whole home renovations! Keep em coming! Love your channel!
