Snow Be Gone! | Celebrating the END of Winter

Hooray for the end of winter! With spring's arrival and the thaw beginning, it's definitely time to plug in the freezer for the upcoming summer months. We tackle the well over due chore of cleaning it out amongst other seasonal tasks. After Eric plows the snow away from the future garden space, we take a moment to embrace this time of year with fresh berry filled donuts.
~ Donut Dough ~
2 tbs coconut oil
2 tbs unsalted butter
1 tbs lard
1 cup whole milk
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
2 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup cane sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
*1/2 cup sweet starter (optional)
~ Filling ~
1 cup lingonberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup spruce tip syrup
1 tbs cornstarch
1. Melt oil, butter and lard in a small sauce pot. Remove from heat, transfer to a small bowl, add milk and active dry yeast.
2. Add eggs to mixture and whisk.
3. In a medium bowl mix flour, sugar and salt.
4. Add starter to liquid mix prior to adding into flour mixture, mix dough.
5. Knead until dough is well incorporated and smooth texture (will be slightly sticky), allow to rest in a cool area for one hour.
6. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface until 1/4 thick and cut with a biscuit cutter. Allow to rest for an additional 30 minutes at room temp.
7. Add berries and syrup to a sauce pot and simmer for 10 minutes, mix in cornstarch and keep on heat for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat. When cool transfer berry mix to a piping bag.
8. In a deep pot heat oil of choice for frying, carefully fry donuts for 2 minutes on each side.
9. Drain donuts, dip in cinnamon and sugar mixture, stuff with filling while still warm.
10. Enjoy :)

Hallo from Moscow!! I'm a man Sergey. I am 64. I like your life ever so much!! You are so friendly and lovely!! As example for everyone. I improve my English by you and everything I know about Alaska. Thank you so much! Be happy and have amount of success!!

[@davemi00]

Hello from Michigan!

[@claervue7098]

A mound of doughnuts, sticky fingers and laughter. Doesn't get any better.

[@hankgraver6934]

Yes, laughter slows down the relentless progression of time!

[@elabuterin7150]

Ariel my mom used to render her own lard and she would use the cracklings in her biscuit dough. I’m 62 and still can’t forget those amazing biscuits. My mom was raised on a farm and boy did she know how to cook! ❤ watching you guys as it reminds me of a simpler life. Hard but so much more rewarding.

[@Rocco25.6]

Good for you !! WE CAN NOT FORGET AND LEARN FROM THEM ❤

[@hollyslaughter5505]

Kind of the same thing. My grandma made crackling cornbread and served it with collards and her own special beans from her garden. They were kind of a large spotted pinto bean.

[@dinahquillen9380]

I see Bandit helping with the freezer clean out - he knows the important jobs.😅

[@sarahrichards3123]

He was like..."no really mom, I want some of that moose!"

Just got back from babysitting my "wild" grandchildren. I couldnt even talk to my husband - my social bucket is full. Ive come upstairs and wonder of wonders my fave youtubers have posted a new video. The first 2 minutes are enough to decompress - and breathe......and relax..... thank you ❤❤❤

[@Cthomas5678]

I do that too!! Hubby goes racing every Friday evening and night and that’s when I can relax and watch❤

[@jessicahocquigny9542]

I did an overnighter with my 2 granddaughters. Boy oh boy I feel you on the "WILD" statement.... They are 19 months apart and the 2 year old is tiny but has a big attitude LOL I am ready for a nana nap and it's only 11.30am I did the daycare drop off and it's other grandparents up tonight. I too was happy to see a video to watch while having a cuppa. 🌸🐨🌸

I thought so too amazing ❤

[@whitneylake2107]

You guys are natural cinematographers. I really enjoy your channel ... and especially your recipes ! Thank you

[@thedivide3688]

I don’t know about natural. They have honed the skill over the years. It took a lot of hard work. Did you not watch their earlier material? It’s beautiful because they put the time into mastering it.

[@FoodandOtherPassions]

Agree! And the music is beautiful and relaxing too.

[@leannm5937]

I loved the ending ☺!! It's the best when you can crack each other up.

[@tangobravo8889]

The greatest thing about this channel, every time I watch this wonderful young couple it makes me smile. And thats a good thing, especially nowadays.

[@melissasprinkel1670]

Love the little guy that got the hanging meat on the field cameras ! All the critters were adorable thank you for that! Hugs to Bandit he’s my favorite ❤

[@oldpossum57]

What species was that? Looked to be the size of a stoat/ermine, or a fisher.

[@hombredeacero3131]

Spectacular opening sequence of the area around your home got a kick out of seeing the little bird in the snow and how chubby the one was on the feeder. Can’t wait to see your garden get going. Awesome job on the seedlings that you’ll use for your garden. By the way that desert looked absolutely amazing

[@tammymurphy2707]

You two are such a fantastic couple and I love watching you do everything from cooking to building together. Keep up the good work!💖

[@corabankston2244]

Im 70 and have made homemade donuts as a little girl and younger woman . Mom was always making jam/ jelly to fill our home made. 60-66 had extra biscuits for afternoon school treats. Had extra pie crust strips with cinnamon and sugar. Mom passed in 1997 and still have her wonderful cook book or index recipe box. My great neice whose 52 has a cedar recipe box from mom and her aprion and oven mitts. Areial thanks for the memories of our cooking memories blessing

[@hankgraver6934]

All those items are priceless.

Yay for Spring! Every season has its own beauty, but Spring is the most eagerly anticipated.

[@kimkay4100]

I love that the music at the beginning, had a background of ocean waves while we were looking at the beautiful forest and mountains

[@dianedoherty5999]

Love seeing you guys actually use your old Pyrex bowls, rather than keeping them for display! I use mine all the time too.

[@icybar]

Stuffed doughnuts! Right, you’ve got me, right there! Oh my goodness, the beauty of it all, your videos are wondrous. And you are such fun together too. It’s great to see you enjoying yourselves, as much as we enjoy watching. (How many did you eat? We want to know!)

Wonderful filming, trail cams, spring cleanups & delicious looking donuts! Thanks for sharing tidbits of your lives! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@loveak907]

My cat loves your trail cam videos with the critters. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@dawnpelz8570]

I would line up in your driveway to get a taste of those things. There's no day I'm going to fry donuts while rendering my own lard, but you two never cease to amaze me with what you come up with. I wish I knew what you knew when I left the big city at 27. You are both wise beyond your years, as they say. Love your channel.

[@brandybellmann7513]

So excited for all the projects to come. The garden is off to a good start. I just love watching you two interact and all the awesomeness you to make happen.💚

[@mrfofff]

after a long 15-hour day. a fresh cup of coffee and 33:05 of peace and enjoyment. Thank you. )

[@phantomframe]

Springtime is definitely my favorite time for you guys. It’s just amazing to see things come alive there! Chickens going outside, the snow melting…it’s great.

[@bernadettesingh6148]

I think this is the best video of Simple Living Alaska! Intro drone shots of early morning sunrise, snow melting off the trees and nature waking up from hibernation. Aptly named - Spring Breakup! So pleased you found the cameras, Arielle. The wildlife in winter around your property is amazing. Just loved it. And you sitting and watching your critters (like a mother hen) ❤️. Nice finish with those delicious looking doughnuts. LOL Eric is definitely changing his lines - from “this is the best thing I’ve ever tasted” to “I highly recommend it”. 🇦🇺 fan.

[@marinaparker4774]

You two are one of three homesteader channels I watch on a regular basis. This video was epic and appealing to all my senses! Keep living your best life!

[@Tomhohenadel]

Yahoo, waiting for the gardening, solar and heating the wood shop. All the best gang

[@ChristineLefabvre]

My husband and I love your channel. Started watching it earlier this year. Then We decided to watch the older ones first. Our little puppy loves watching Bandit and Bo. Sorry to hear about Bo’s passing. We are up to the episodes where you put new siding on your original Alaska home. Great videography through out each episode. I have a high school friend who lives in Wasilla now. She loves it.

[@SamSung-ww3rp]

Your knowledge of things and how they grow is brilliant love!

Fall & Spring are the best seasons in my opinion!!! A time to harvest & a time to begin again!!! 👍👍👍

I can't wait until your high tunnel is finished and you are planting your crops! Summer is short in Alaska, but it is absolutely beautiful!

Oh the little squirrels at the end, so adorable. Yep I'd eat them donuts all day long for breaky, lunch and dinner. 🌸🐨🌸

I’ve been following your vlogs for a long time here in Coventry, England and absolutely love watching your lifestyle. The remote cabins you use, ice/salmon fishing, moose hunting/butchering and preserving, blueberry/mushroom and Bruce tip canning just fascinates me. Now watching you eat those fruity doughnuts.........Mmmmmmm. Alaskan life is sooo different from here in the UK, you both work so together, please keep those cameras rolling. 🦌🦈🐝🐔🦮🐈‍⬛ xx

I really loved the colors in the tops of the trees during melt up (almost golden). Thank you for always updating us on all the jobs it takes to keep your homestead going. Love lingonberries…and those donuts looked delicious! Thanks for sharing this video.😊

[@hankgraver6934]

Lingonberries have deeper richer (more earthy?) flavor than other similar berries.

You really need to put a cookbook together. Your kitchen skills are second only to your building skills. Bon apetit!

[@luckyrobinshomestead]

Those birds at 1:16 are just beautiful. I am too short for my arms to reach the bottom of our giant chest freezer, so I am never the one who has to clean it out, thank goodness. We do line the bottom with overlapping trash bags, though. Cuts way down on any mess. Those doughnuts looked amazing.

I love how honest you are about your cooking mistakes. My sister has always felt very overwhelmed by cooking, but by doing a food subscription service she's been trying recipes and building her courage. She likes watching channels like yours where people don't make a big deal out of mistakes. I keep telling her, "It's just food. It's not the Mona Lisa." And sometimes those mistakes can be repurposed into something else that is still pretty yummy!

[@thomasfenlon2363]

what you dont want to do with refrigerated equipment is turn it on its side. the oil in the compressor can contain microbits of contamination. the oil travel with the gas on highpressure side and bring microbits with it . result is stopped up cap tube feed line to evapcoil. no fix. keep them upright always.

[@susanhamilton1707]

Very technical, but, Yeah, I have heard the samefor my adult life(I am 62), basically 40 years

[@charminghollowforge1109]

I ruined a upright freezer this way

[@nancyrea3863]

True. I am surprised it’s cooling.

[@adamjoachim-b2k]

The most important thing is to let it sit upright and still for at least 24 hrs after tipping it before you plug it in. This let's the oil drain back, and it should work just fine.
