More tears of memories long ago. We had the ready-made toboggan hill in the backyard, and no dozer was needed. I'm sure my mother made cinnamon buns at some point. Homemade bread was a regular necessity with a large family. To this day, I make a mighty fine pecan gooey bun at least once a year. The recipe I use has maple syrup, giving a nod to my Canadian side. I remember the toboggan had one cracked slat from running into a tree at the bottom of the hill. You mentioned an owl. In my twenty's, while snowmobiling with my best friend many miles into the wooded northern Minnesota wilderness, we stopped at the crest of a long hill and turned our machines off to admire the silent wonder of late night stars illuminating the scene before us. Suddenly, a huge white snowy owl swooped down from behind us and glided without a sound between our machines and on down the 1/2 mile slope ahead of us. It was a truly spiritual moment I have never forgotten, especially as my friend passed away a few years later, and I have missed him dearly. My tears today are not of sadness but of joy for having lived a long life with memories of many moments when this kind of life was the norm, not the exception.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Your comment is beautiful, absolutely beautiful ❄️ Good memories. Happiness. The owl swooping down must have been a breath-catching moment-spiritual indeed. Love your comment very much!

[@Old-Dog-Max]

Thank you. I'm giving a sigh of relief as I have told the story of the owl many times, and the possibility of repeating myself is very real. As kids, we all chided my father endlessly for repeating often told stories of his life during the depression. At my advanced age now, I've lived the adage "never tell a lie" because you won't remember who got what version. I don't know from one day to the next who has already heard some of my life experiences. Pardon me if you catch me repeating myself. At least I come by it honestly. 😁 ​

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I could not be more excited to see your channel growing my friend! It is so obvious the work you put in, the research, the editing, storytelling - it’s all just fabulous and literally should be a PBS documentary🙌🙌🙌

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

That means a ton coming from you! 💗🙌🏻🔥 Thank you for the thoughtful words-I’m having so much fun. I love your comment. This project gave me a reason to open all the boxes of cast iron & candelabras I had stored from my single 20s cabin life. Cheers to a fellow lover of beauty & history!

[@amandaclark7718]

Your kids will remember these days and remember how much fun they had

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Love your comment 💗 I hope the memories are warm ones 🔥

[@JeffRamblin]

She's so cute ! Reminds me of my granddaughter when she was that age . She turned 22 years old yesterday ❤️❤️❤️

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh wow! It’s like you blink and BAM! they grow another year older 😢 Stay small!

[@pamhammond6577]

This is a Birthday she will always remember. ❤

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

💗👧🏻❄️☀️🛷 That sledding mountain her dad built her is memory for the ages

[@simonemoreno4324]

Make some hot cocoa with the kids, too with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles make lots of precious memories with those kids and in that cabin❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Cheers! They are hot cocoa connoisseurs ☕️ We had an amazing day together 💕 Thanks for your sweet comment!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

There is another polar vortex, and it's gotten colder in Alberta. Fresh baked breads, biscuits and rolls are hard to beat. My (late) paternal grandmother made excellent homemade cinnamon buns/rolls, and amazing homemade doughnuts. Those cinnamon rolls and parker house rolls look so good. Seeing this is like time traveling to days gone by on the prairies of North America. Cheers! 👍👍✌️

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Love it! Brrr stay warm up there, neighbor ❄️❄️❄️ We are in for more here

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

Happy birthday young lady.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Cheers! 🎈 🎉 🎂

[@barbedstar6480]

"And don't get distracted!!!" Oh, my! You might have your hands full with that one...she almost had me spitting out my coffee! LOL! Love your videos. Rolls soooo yummy.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Haha she is full of fire! 🔥 Always has been from the minute she was born 😂

[@carolynmoody9460]

Happy birthday babygirl 🎉🎊🎉🎂🎂

[@Sibes3]

Wow. You're perfecting baking on that old cook stove. Drooling with envy here! Your children have no idea how lucky they are to grow up on a ranch surrounded by family. Thank you so much for your weekly video's. Highlight of my week. P.S. I sent you a little something in the mail. Hope it arrives in one piece!

[@paulyoung5327]

Beautifully narrated and videoed, I could almost smell the cinnamon, I personally thank you and your family for sharing these memory evoking times at your cabin. ❤❤❤ God bless

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing in our family traditions! 💗🔥 We had a good couple days of sunshine & warmth this week. Tried to soak it up to the fullest. God bless from Montana. Appreciate & love your comment

Citron is a large, lumpy, thick rind, lemon like fruit. Not as tart as a lemon, and the rind was usually candied to keep from spoiling until used in recipes. Lemon is a good substitute nowadays.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Fascinating, I’ve never encountered citron in any modern cookbook! Really interesting 🤔 Have you ever cooked with it?

[@kathleeneslinger6978]

Your show reminds me of when i was around 7-10 years old and my dad was a cowboy working on a ranch in Oregon. Days i still remember. Brad n kalifornia. Age 69

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh wow what a way to grow up! Still cowboys then (and some still around now 😉) Love your comment! Cheers from a snowy, windy Montana

[@timothychandler1725]

I want to know what my grandparents or dad did in the winter 🤔, when they were kids. My uncle told me his favorite thing to do was skiing ⛷️ with homemade. They took an old wooden barrel apart with leather straps that fit their boots 👢. They went to the snow ❄️ cover hills at the ranch. My brother had a tubuggon until someone stolen it at the ranch. I had a runner slide as a kid. It worked best on iced 🧊 pack snow ❄️. Love ❤️ seeing 👀 you guys having fun.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh wow homemade skis?! That is ingenuity at its best. I’m sure rolling hills of snow were too tempting to miss trying out anything you could! The homemade sledding hill was so fun-thanks to the bulldozer-that kids went up & down it for hours! Heaven. Love your comment 🔥

[@maria13corvette]

Happy Birthday beautiful little girl 🎈 . As alwas great video😊

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Cheers 💗💗💗 She’s so excited to be 6!

[@carolynhoover9444]

I loved this video. While it wasn't quite cinnamon rolls, I thought the rolls and the celebration rolls are fabulous ❤

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Cheers! 🔥☕️ They were fun to make. Can’t believe how little sugar & cinnamon the original recipe called for… but I modernized it a bit. Kids appreciated that I think 😉

[@merrymaya]

Our family has always made a Swedish bread very similar to your recipe but it had cardamom in it. Lightly sweet but delicious! I raised my kids on Montana property that looked just like yours! Those were absolutely the best years of our life!!!❤ Hope your daughter has an awesome birthday & a year filled with adventures!✨💖✨

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Adorable, wonderful comment 💗 Thank you! She sure had a great birthday weekend. 6 going on 16 🤦🏻‍♀️ I really want to try them with cardamom! I add it to my shortbread as my “signature” flavor. It’s a great taste of history!

[@marvinalbers3353]

Happy Birthday 🎂 Maggie 🍭

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Cheers! How’s your cabin?!

[@dianehall5345]

I love it Jesse. " And don't get distracted! " 😅 I seem to remember buying yeast cakes. Not sure if its still around. You definitely have more snow than New Hampshire! Our 'Matilda" is blazing away this lunch time, but not baking. Pecans go so well in sweet rolls. Good job. You have mastered this wood stove :-) ..... I think you will all sleep well tonight '-)

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

It was such a good day 😌🔥 Happy, tired kids (& parents). Couldn’t ask for better. Thanks for your wonderful comment. I can just picture your stove roaring; perfect lunchtime spot!

[@kellybryson7754]

Happy birthday to Maggie

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Cheers! 💗🎂🎉

[@nmelkhunter1]

That was awesome. I ate a three egg omelette with O’Brien potatoes, Canadian bacon, and cheese inside for breakfast over two hours ago and I bet I could easily eat one of those rolls. In fact, I know I could! Of course a cup of steaming black coffee would be called for too. Your kids are awesome and happy birthday to your daughter.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Those rolls were pretty darn good-kids and I cleaned them up by the end of the day 😂 And of course Robbie got his share too 😉

Such a beautiful channel that brings me back to some very special memories like sitting next to a wood cook stove on a cold winter morning, coco in hand, smelling and anticipating the wonderful breakfast being prepared. Just absolutely love how you present the information and storytelling of those days gone by. Keep it up, God bless you and your family.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

I used a wire screen attached to branches and hung above the stove. Using ancient clothes pins to dry our gloves, sox, and put pants over chairs behind the stove.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Love the ingenuity! 🔥❄️ That is definitely what it would take to really dry clothes. I should do the same

[@elainefuller3879]

My mouth is watering, how delicious it looks, really admire you!!

[@gerryhartung736]

As a child about as old as your SIX year old, my family still lived near Elgin, Illinois in late 1940s. One sled for five kids, couldn't wait for snow so we could zoom down the hill next to our family home. A slope about 20 or 25 long,I thought was steep. Well long story long....visited in 2019. That biting slope was like the door threshold of Uncle Dans Cabin out 20 or so feet! Ancient little guy snow suit, idiot mittens, two pairs of socks, roses red cheeks of the little children......Finally very cold, Mom would call us inside house my father built, warm and cozy, peeling frost off bottom of windows, warmer by coal fired furnace in basement, or solar heat looking out window, (like drinking tea looking out window). Big old warm air furnace in basement, we would play down there in the winter. Had an old canning factory in our little town that was converted to a LINCOLN LOG TOY FACTO. In the summer we picked up (seconds,broken on the ends) from the "burn) pile, take them home. Played with them downstairs, kept warm, had many happy hours.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh what wonderful memories!! 🔥 Finding Lincoln Log seconds from the burn pile, cozy hours by the warm stove. And sledding! It’s funny to a kid what seems huge & important, then looking back as a grownup. Thank you for sharing those stories. I hope my 6 year old 😉 has good memories like those. I think she will remember 🙏

[@sheliamaynus9869]

Happy birthday wow 5 Years old When I was 5 we had moved to a new house in a town called sea cliff long island new York and I was waiting for the arrival of my new little brother and sister they were twins 1952

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh wow that was a birthday present 💝 That sounds like a beautiful place by the ocean! I’ve never been to New York. Sending you cheer from a soon-to-be subzero montana. We had a few perfect days this week that the kids & I took full advantage of being outdoors ☀️

[@gerryhartung736]

Making corn bread in cast iron mold would be a treat, melted butter, oh la la! Found an 1890s carpenters chest, time to stock with antique tools. Have you looked for a pie safe? Maybe I could draw up a plan.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Great corn bread idea! I’m going to make it 🙌🏻🔥 If you draw up a plan I would love to see it! I’ll shoot you my email. Happy to send you a mailing address. 😊 [e-mail] Always love your comments!

[@teripittman]

It's tricky to take a dog sledding on a tobaggan! We put my golden up front, she got scared and kicked off it, throwing me, my husband and the other dog off. Lots of fun though.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh my goodness! I can only imagine the wildness of that day 😂 The Bernese, “Hap”, thought he had to rescue Grammy when she was sledding down the hill. Chaos ensued. That old Sears toboggan on the ranch gave us great fun. I even rode it standing up as we went down the sledding hill 🤪 Great day!

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

A suggestion for you to use your woodworking skills. Make a drying rack, that hangs above the stove. Usually 3 sided, with the wall being the fourth side. But there are plenty of creative ideas. Knowing your woodworking skills, make it fancy furniture-like. Hang it high enough; that nothing gets in the way. So, you might also need to make a step-stool to go along with it. _(Kids should love that.)_ Advantage of such a drying rack; is that heat rises. _(It can be used for more than just clothing. It's good for drying herbs and such.)_ Ps. We nowadays use, and are use to, *_far more_* sugar and spices; than almost anyone in history. So, the amount of sugar and cinnamon; in the original recipe, doesn't surprise me. They may have thought your change to the recipe; as too sweet and too spicy. Interesting Historical Note: There is a cinnamon roll recipe, that _"originated"_ in Lewistown, and spread throughout all of Montana, Wyoming, and other areas. It was spread by the various cowboy cooks, but also a group of women from Lewiston, who married and moved elsewhere, where they then worked in school cafeterias, local restaurants _(like the various Owl and Wagon Wheel cafes)_ and especially at Four Bees... and a famous winter/seasonal menu at Four Bees; was their chili & that big fluffy, sourdough/white bread cinnamon roll. Heck, that was a mainstay at most any local Montana cafe, come hunting season. _(And as far as I know, the originator of the recipe was a Lucy Johansson or her father, a chuckwagon cook, who had homesteaded in Lewistown. So maybe, just maybe, that's where the name of your Swedish Roll comes from.)_ Last places you could get those cinnamon rolls and chili; were at Johnson's Corner Truckstop in NE Colorado, and Cashway Cafe in Broadus. Dixie's in East Missoula _"might have"_ still use/used the recipe, because the chef cook at Tabor's, which became Dixie's, moved to Broadus and opened the Cashway.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

You read my mind. I just was in at our small town antique store, maybe an hour ago, asking if she had anything like that. Nope. Guess I should whip out the spokeshave and drawknife-build one myself. 😁 Fun project

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Might try to suspend something between the roof rafters directly over the stove 🤔 hmmm Any ideas?

[@teripittman]

I have a floor version, made by the Amish, that I got on Amazon.

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue Yes, my idea was suspending from the rafters. That's how it's usually done.

[@JeffRamblin]

@Montana_Ranch_Rescue I don't know but for whatever reason while watching your latest video that song popped into my head . I come from a large family , there were seven of us not counting mom and dad . In the summertime my siblings and I along with our friends from our small town would walk about a mile out of town to a really tall Hill covered in grass . Of course by July the grass was kind of tall . We would bring big pieces of cardboard with us curl them up in the front and write them down that Hill . The grass was as slick as ice or snow and we would get going really fast ! One of many fond memories of my you youth ! Your videos are the best !! 💯

[@sherrypaproski9564]

I think the citron would be orange rind

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

I wondered the same! Sounds like citron could have been orange or lemon, but was actually its own fruit 🤔 Definitely a food from history!

[@melissafields3376]

If you are referring to "citron" it's like a lemon; in flavor and looks. Which back then would have been a luxury. I apologize if I misunderstood what you were saying; my hearing isn't great and the close captions not much help(not your fault okay).

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Oh heard right! Thank you-yes, citron 🍋 Why do they call it that and not lemon? You are totally right that it must be what they mean. It appears in a lot of recipes in the Fanny farmer cookbook

[@melissafields3376]

@Montana_Ranch_Rescue Citron is the older, more natural lemon. The name was Latin. Funny fact: name lemon is older than Citroën(citron) 1400's. But when the citrus hybrid into what we recognize today as "lemon " people began referring IT as lemon! I'm just guessing that it had a bit to do with marketing a "new product ". Lol

[@teripittman]

It's what they use in fruitcakes too

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

Citron _(Citrusmedica)_ is a large, fragrant citrus fruit with a thick rind that is often used for its zest. It is one of the original citrus fruits and is believed to be the ancestor of all other citrus varieties. In your cookbook, Citron is a powdered form of a zest, not always, but usually made from the Citrusmedica. _(Cheaper were made of lemon, lime, orange, or a mix of all three.)_ I can remember it coming/being in fancy small tins. But then, so did peppercorns, cinnamon, and most all spices. Once empty, you'd take your tin to the store, and get it filled up again.

[@Montana_Ranch_Rescue]

Fascinating! …I have never encountered it in any modern cookbook. But it appears repeatedly in these late 1800s/early 1900s recipes 🤔 Total unknown for me. I knew you would have insights into it. Cheers, friend 🔥

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue You can find it still as _"Citron Zest powder."_ Just if you can find it from the actual Citron fruit is another story. Citron zest powder vs lime or lemon is that while they all three have that citrus thang, Citron is also reminiscent of coconut.

No cardamom?
