It took NINE minutes for you to start - jeez!

[@judyabernathy80]

Ms Elliott, I enjoyed you taking your time and showing us lots of things. The lead up to a video is very important, and necessary, in my view. So, I think you did a superb job of explaining your content. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@emilybenedetto3607]

I asked my Chicago husband if he knew what giardianiera is and whether he puts it on beef. He scoffed - DO YOU PUT SALSA ON CHIPS??! Apparently, I didn’t know about this sacred part of his life

Hi Shay, so good to see you harvesting. We are at day 58 with no rain and temps 102 to 106 here in Texas. This is a very difficult drought and we lost most of our garden. We are praying for rain and looking forward to our fall/winter garden. Here in Texas we can harvest all the way up to late December. It's so nice to see your kids in the garden with you. We raised our daughter and now grandkids in the garden. This is the same thing we do when we get to the end of the season. Mike is a retired chef and he does pickling and fermenting. Your lil helper did a great job. God Bless, Rochelle

[@latinaartista36]

Your small helper has grown so much this summer. She’s such a big kid now. 🥺

[@rebeccajones9735]

My grandma used to make a "summer pickle" which also used up leftover bits from the end of the garden season. It included some green tomatoes and was not super crunchy. But it was so good! I made it myself a few years ago and shared with friends, who loved it.

[@MrsCrunchy]

This video was really great. It's so cute to see you cooking with your daughter. I love how she just tucks into the food at the end 💗What a lucky kid!

[@lauraraymond388]

That looks so delicious; you’re right when you say we eat with our eyes first. Your little one is an adorable helper!

[@carolynl5362]

Wonderful video on bits and bob pieces from the garden 🪴 and how to put up…jardinière! I don’t have my garden set up yet so I’m going to farm stands next week to gather my garden veggies 🥕! Thank you…you are an excellent teacher with extra little tidbits☀️🪴⛰ oh by the way we live in the mountains of Tennessee

[@freedomjam3670]

We want to “Utilize” everything. Thank you for a great recipe! Well done JuJu!

[@EgoEgeoNovaLocus]

Yum!!! you are such a good momma!

[@genietillery878]

What a wonderful use of those vegetables and vinegar is so good for you. Thank you for the video. I will certainly be doing this.

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

Will be making this with farmers market veg. as we live in a condo. Thank you for this!

[@aidaiam]

In Finland we dry a lot of our meat. It’s not as common anymore (especially in the southern parts) but it has been very common! The meat is dried outside at spring and it’s hanged with a twines!

[@kelliestarkey9808]

I love this one so much! Very useful and looks delicious.

[@sarahjohnson9556]

Heading to Italy in weeks. ❤️

[@kathleenroberts7972]

Your sweet helper has grown so tall! Dare I say growing like a weed. Love your vids.

[@maxe381]

Where did you get those jars!? They are so wonderful ☺️

[@nancyinboise2160]

I didn't hear you say what Brine was made out of? Looks like apple cider vinegar and? I have also seen traditional Gardeneria that is packed in a mixture of olive oil and a little bit of vinegar have you seen that?

[@juliepaulson1880]

Love the video…not the music🤷‍♀️

[@letticason8435]

Yum

[@judyabernathy80]

Ms Elliott, you are very easy to listen to, and an excellent teacher. It was a pleasure watching. Your little girl is so darling and very helpful. Blessings always. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@alwaysinblue]

I never thought of doing this with those annoying little yield crops. Thank you so much. I just dislike earwigs so much that I went to uhaul and bought a box of newsprint packing paper, made tubes with the folded paper, dampened them very lightly and laid them around my harden. The earwigs love to go in the rolls and overnight I can capture them and dispose of them in the morning. I guess I'm a fanatic about them...maybe. LOL

[@judyabernathy80]

No, not a fanatic, just smart!!

[@hvp6218]

It's felt like forever since we've seen a new vid. I clicked so fast.

[@sarahsmith9084]

When your daughter grabs a carrot "to go" ...made me smile so broad. Worth every hour spent in the garden to raise children who appreciate and enjoy fresh produce. I grew up this way - eating whole tomatoes like they were apples while pulling weeds. These days I only have a potted garden but I enjoy summer produce from the farmer's market and my garden frequently. It's fantastic.

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

My Italian family has eaten this forever, but I've never thought of making it. I may try it with red wine vinegar. My aunt loved it and always bought it from the store. We have lost so much information for saving and making traditional foods, thanks for reminding me of this.

[@servantofjesuschristthekin5291]

Hey❤️ I may not know you personally however I care about you deeply because I know how much you mean to Jesus Christ The King of ALL CREATION . I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so much, he died for our sins so that whoever believes in him wouldn’t have to perish in hell but instead have eternal life in heaven. You need to understand that HEAVEN and HELL are 1000% REAL they aren’t imaginary , and hell is a horrible place I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. God doesn’t want you to end up there he wants you in heaven and so he is giving you a chance to accept the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ and be saved. Day by Day the world is falling apart because we are literally living in the last days of Earth there is no doubt or debate about it, Jesus Christ is coming faster then you think to bring judgement to the world and to destroy it. This really is URGENT, it’s NOT A JOKE ,Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, you can be alive one minute and gone the next, please take this opportunity to be on the side of Mercy confess your sins and wicked ways to Jesus , sincerely REPENT/turn away from them, ask for his forgiveness, and be baptized at a real bible believing church- ask him to enter your heart and to be your Lord and Savior before it is too late , truly believe in him and he WILL do it because it is his promise. It’s important that you seek the righteous and Holy path of the Most high God so that you may inherit eternal life and be spared of Hell fire. You can begin a new life in Christ and have a genuine relationship with him, please repent. Jesus changed my life and he will change yours too🥰, He is coming NOW! not SOON- when you least expect it!, therefore repent and make sure you are prepared. May the Lord be with you eternally💕🙏🏾

[@amyhurley5670]

Great video! I especially love your JuJu helping. I have a jar of Giardiniera in my fridge. I am new in the past couple of years to fermentation. It is wonderful. The old ways are coming back...They almost died out....I'm sad my nono passed before I could learn all the old ways... Glad you put what you do up on media it is a blessing. thanks!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

P.s. yes Italian beef in a bucket! Beef brisket in crock pot no need to prebrown. A jar of giardinaria drained, a jar of pepperoncini peppers with all the liquid in jar. An envelope of good seasons Italian dry dressing. Cook all day .then shred and serve on a hard roll with drippings etc.

[@ramonawhisenant2045]

So good to see your child being taught good life experiences.

[@Just-Nikki]

Giardiniera and lupini beans are quintessential Chicago snacks. My husbands best friend asks me to make them every summer. The purple cauliflower really is quite beautiful in there isn’t it. Your little helper is so adorable.

[@joannahill1567]

Love this! Sorry if I missed this but did you say where it should store? Do I keep it in the fridge or on the countertop or what? How long will it last for? And no need to worry about an inch of headspace?

[@sweetpeasandyarrowaranchdi8327]

In the very beginning she said something about water bath canning.

[@kkaz12]

These are fridge pickles, so they store in the fridge (for months). You could also water bath can if you want to store it at room temp (for years)

[@loriy7532]

Wonderful video ,as always.. Lovely to see your daughter helping out and learning a little something in the kitchen world. The recipe that you put together today was a great one , every body with a garden can make this easy recipe .... Thank you for having us.

[@fourseasonsnorth]

Awesome! This sounds like a quick pickle melody. We do this with beans specifically, but to mix up a bunch of veggies and pour the brine over is a great idea.

[@imeldadiaz4164]

So refreshing to see young children eat homemade fresh veggies/food. Juju is adorable.

[@kamichristensen2180]

I LOVE pickled Giardiniera until I tasted fermented Giardiniera. Which has a depth of flavor and a medicinal value that is tremendous.

[@dawnthomsenminenga2290]

We prefer the fermented version also.

[@ingridkarm8922]

fermented in just salt and water?

[@jesidillon4593]

Do you have a recipe?

[@Lizziesoflo]

Hey Shay, did you know earwigs are great gardener’s friends? They eat ton of aphids for us😁 I really enjoy watching your vlog!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Could not have been better timing. I’m trying todo a daily video for the every bit counts challenge. Not sure if you heard of it. But I have some many bits of things snd I love fermenting! This is kid on the list!

[@kairifan12]

I know as a homesteading family it is such a busy time of year, but I've missed videos from you! Glad to see the Elliott homestead is back

[@Mabbi54]

Very excited to hear what you’ve learned after the trip to Italy. Buon viaggio!

[@smlorrin]

You should use the word 'utilize' where you naturally feel inclined to use it.

[@latte1020]

Juju NEEDS to be in more of your videos! She’s stinking adorable and had me laughing!!! This was so cute! And I love those pickled veggies as well they’re great on so much even over lettuce that drizzle with olive oil yum!!!

[@lu-gz9rp]

Love seeing little Juliette with you in the kitchen. Hopefully one day my life will turn out like that as well

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Ms. Elliot. Lovely videos as always. Thanks for sharing. - I usually make my Giardiniera with a careful blend of cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, celery, and chile peppers, from my garden - marinated gently in olive oil. Don't forget that any tomato sauce tastes better with just a little sugar added.

[@ash6811]

Funny that two KZbin videos I watched today mentioned piment d’esplette: yours here and then a vlog from chateau diaries from two years ago. I think I’m being called to try this seasoning

[@silviamaslarova5995]

It was really lovely and refreshing to see other member of your family joining in the video! Maybe in the future, u can make videos more interactive with your family, of course if they want to:) it would be so nice. Thank u for the great content! I love your channel.

[@rrichards1210]

I had never heard of giardiniera before but it is similar to how I make coleslaw, pouring a hot vinegar mix over shredded cabbage. I have also done the same to small jars of sliced red onion which I love to add to salad sandwiches. No one in our family likes raw onion, but the hot vinegar brine slightly cooks the cabbage and onion and takes the sharpness out of the onion while maintaining the taste and a good texture. I will definitely be trying a jar of mixed veges when I harvest my garden.

[@joanneganon7157]

Nice job helping Mum Today JuJu. So pretty 😍. JO JO IN VT 😆💕

[@kayemcmullen]

I really enjoy all the content your family shares. I was watching another favourite channel “Kylie Flavell”. An Australian woman

[@kayemcmullen]

……living her best life in Italy. Today she was making her first batch of canned pasta sauce. I think you may be kindred spirits as you both bring such calm and joy to the simple things. Really wanted to thank you for making the Saturday mornings (when you usually drop in Australia.) of my old-age so charming.🇦🇺🦘

[@kayemcmullen]

…….living her best life in Italy. Today she was trying canning for the first time. Although you are an expert, I believe you may be kindred spirits. Tasks are undertaken with calm, assurance and love for both the process and the recipients . Thank you for making my Saturday mornings (when you drop in Australia) so delightful. Blessings! 🇦🇺🦘

[@kayemcmullen]

Sorry for the stutter, as I said I’m very old and sometimes I feel like ‘dang this modern technology’ but I spent a life time in computer sciences so there really is no excuse.

[@angelacollins1343]

Thank you Stuart! Too many people say “utilize” when use is the better choice.

[@shopcookeatwi]

Gosh time has passed so fast--I started watching you when your youngest boy was just a baby. For a minute I thought your youngest girl was your oldest daughter. Such beautiful children--you and your husband are blessed. I enjoyed the video as always. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@alwaysinblue]

I couldn't find an oak tree anywhere in town. And I don't know what is going on, but no one seems to be growing grapes, so no grape leaves, but what I do have is fig leaves. So, I took some of the small, freshest ones I could find, blanched them and used them in my jars. Did you know fig leaves are edible?

[@tammyyoung5279]

This looks fantastic! I love pickles. Would you consider adding green beans to it? Also, have you ever made (or heard of) Piccalilli? I think you would enjoy that.

[@karenwesthead7357]

I live in a suburb of Chicago and we use giardiniera on beef sanwiches and cook pot roasts in the crock pot with an entire jar of it. My family uses it on hot dogs and hamburgers too.

[@ragnhildwadahl6171]

I tried to pickle purple cauliflower and chioggia polka berta a few years back, but they lost all their color and looked very unappetizing in the jar, is there a way to avoid this discoloring? I guess that jardineri is the same as the british called pickalilly pickles that they use on their sandwiches?

[@thegrowinggardener]

Tried making this today, but I’m trying to find the part that mentions if it needs to sit for any amount of time and if so, how long. Also, does it need refrigerated? Many other websites use oil as well and say they are best served at room temp. Thanks!

[@beccam507]

This was so helpful, and adorable at the same time! I so enjoyed watching you cook with your daughter! I think Juju is about the same age as my third child, first girl, who's 6. Maybe we will try this recipe together also!

[@naturejelisabeth]

I am sad about the drowning earwig😥I guess drowning must be horrible & they are beneficial organisms as well; they eat plant lice and apple codling moth larvas :) best wishes

[@susanscountrylivin9353]

I love the purple cauliflower, I plant mine in the fall/winter garden. I will definitively make this recipe.

[@sandyguerrero804]

Where can I find that music? I love it! 🎶😁🎶😁🎶

[@crownandcountryside]

I am returning to this video to see how you make giardiniera. Can you can it in oil, or do you have to refrigerate it?

[@Vittorina689]

In Argentina we said it "jardinera. It´s a salad with all kind of vegetables.

[@suzannemowry3470]

Can you please give a link for the pepper from Spain you mentioned?

[@roxananunez4238]

Your little girl is so precious 🌷

I'm inspired to make a batch just for me, because it looks so good. I'm the only one who will eat it, here in my home. I just love it- straight from the jar, sandwich or salad add in.

Recommend people do their research into these knives. They are not actually a Japanese knife company.

[@Dee0736]

They are a large Chinese company that markets as Japanese, using average steel. A decent knife, but not a true Japanese chef knife.

[@kamikoto7311]

Thank you for leaving a comment regarding Kamikoto! All Kamikoto Knives are made from steel from Japan (currently sourced mainly from the Ibaraki prefecture located Northeast of Tokyo). The knives featured in this video are handcrafted from that same Japanese steel, turned into knives by skilled craftsmen in Yangjiang, China - a town with over 1,000 years of knife and sword-making heritage, as explained on our website. We also very much encourage everyone to do their research and to purchase a knife that suits their individual needs. There are plenty of great companies out there making knives in various styles. We offer no-questions-asked, 60 day returns & refunds to anyone who isn’t fully satisfied with their purchase, as well as a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing issues.

[@catskratch2]

Liked the family vibe of this video, but every time Juju went to grab some cauliflower while you were chopping my anxiety peaked. Obviously nothing happened but chopping while someone is reaching nearby just isn't good knife skills/practices. Stay safe!

[@peterwhite9261]

Looks delicious.

[@mnmminite]

Oh my goodness, I'm growing purple cauliflower next year!! I'm sure you've mentioned it, but any specific place you'd recommend for seeds?

[@evereletkline8732]

I say utilized 7x out of 10.. Its th feel of it that seemz wholesome to Me, in comparison th th vibe of something being used. I also have shifted My keiki & I toward "Have, Give & Recieve" over 'take/want/need. A place of abundance rather than lack. "Will You like to have some?" For instance, instead "Do You want some?" And replacing 'take' in certain moments w thingz like 'give turnz, have turnz.. get a picture.. have az long az You must (over, take Your time) etc etc... I find th empowerment of alignment with word to be a new key factor to liberated Beingz on Earth - recognizing the Free Will of All with simple shifts like "will You...for Me?" Instead of "Do You wana... for Me?" (Of course I remind to ask 'will' instead of 'can' becauze asking of will aknowledgez that it iz a Personz choice to or not to do anything - hence setting OnezSelf up to be prepared for a 'No.') The 5 yr old iz keen to it. Some dayz, all it requirez iz a simple reminder to go from "I'm HUNGRY!" ((with an emotionally attached expectation of soneOne Else to jump up & feed Them)) - I draw a question mark in the air & He corrects HimSelf - "Will You get Me something to eat?" Its the little thingz Abracadabra : I create az I speak 'In the beginning waz the Word, & the word waz God... ... & He spoke (it) into Being'... Herez to Lucid Embodiment, platonic ecstacy & liberating engagements for All.
