I am enjoying small-batch canning so much this spring! Today, I went out into the forest garden and picked a bunch of rhubarb, which I turned into Victorian BBQ Sauce, Stewed Rhubarb d, and Juice Concentrate. I also picked some asparagus and decided to pickle a few pints of that. I hope you enjoy coming along with me.
Thanks for watching!

I think these are my favourite videos - where you harvest then make with your produce 😍

Honestly, they’re my favourites too!

[@jennan3407]

Same!!!

[@janetberry407]

I'm in the UK and I make a fantastic curried rhubarb chutney which is wonderful with cheeses and cooked cold meats, it keeps for years, its a old family recipe if you would like it

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I would LOVE it! Can you email it to me? [e-mail]

Little Mountain Ranch Is The Real Deal.

[@ShellyS2060]

In all my 50 years, I have never seen rhubarb growing. Thank you Chelsea.

[@joannecalcutt6724]

Check out Becky at Acre Homestead. She had it growing right at her back door. Great channel.

I wish l was your neighbor on the ranch down yonder! l've never said yonder in my life. Lol. God bless you all and ☦️ many prayers. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ

[@sherryswanson8810]

For those who have abundance of rhubarb, the juice does require a lot and totally agree…..it is delicious,

[@prairielavender]

Rhubarb juice is lovely, on its own with mulling spices or in a punch with citrus. Last year I made rhubarb leather with my abundance. It is now the favourite way for my family to enjoy rhubarb.

[@jimt6589]

Great day in the kitchen with you thank you for taking us along

[@maryh2547]

Hi Chelsea, you should this rhubarb drink. 2 stalks rhubarb raw, 2 cups chopped juice & zest of 1 lemon, 1 tsp salt. Honey to taste. 1 quart water, add more water to dilute if needed Add to blender, blend for 1-2 min. Pour through sieve. Serve chilled

[@kalinowskipower-cfmotoatvu3243]

THE BBQ SAUCE IS AWESOME!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING

[@AnneQ-bk6wi]

We moved to a new property last year and there was no rhubarb here. I transplanted some last year and this spring too. I should have lots in a few years. We love rhubarb.

[@Lynn_Up_North]

Everything looks so good and a beautiful color.

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

I have rhubarb that need to relocate, they are 4 years old now and just never get very large, and I think it has to do with the shadiness of where they live. Are yours in full sun, Chelsea? The canning looks like it went brilliantly, such pretty jars! :)

[@cathybackus5159]

My mouth is watering watching you pull that rhubarb. One of my favorites is strawberry rhubarb pie or rhubarb jam.

[@christineeckhold6341]

Strawberry rhubarb sauce over vanilla ice cream is a favorite 😋

[@leahsiemens1424]

Everything is so beautiful! One of my favorite things to make with my rhubarb is that Sunshine Rhubarb juice. Last time I used a blood orange for part of the citrus and the color of the juice was incredible!

[@laurapaisley4473]

You mentioned a 6 burner stove, I have a large family, (11 children, 8 grand children). And I just got my big stove, got a propane forno from home Depot. I am also in Canada. I got the 8 burner! Highly recommend it, it changed my cooking life! Two ovens, slide out racks it's amazing! You really should go for it. It is a game changer!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I just checked them out! Definitely getting one the next time I need a stove!

[@Shelzbells]

You are one busy woman. But I know you have to be just to keep up on all that there is to do on a farm. Soon, I am going to be making your Rhubarb/Strawberry pie filling. I cannot wait, and Thank You for sharing all your recipes.

[@amandar7719]

We left last year’s (usually for us EXTREMELY difficult to grow from seed) dill to go to seed to collect for this year’s sowing and for using in pickle mixes. The seed we saved germinated well and we’ve been collecting huge harvests that are now dried and on the shelves. Seed that dropped on the ground have also germinated and providing an abundance we never could have hoped for. By the bye…… everything else has largely been decimated by slugs!!!! 😩🤣 We’ll take what grows and are sooooo grateful. What a year!!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Sluggo Plus, it’s organic.

[@karincope3019]

I put up probably 150 plus jars of pickles every year , we love them . I think pickled beets are my fav as o just love the colour . I have been admiring that funnel , I have a progressive one that has headspace ect on it but can always use another one .

[@scotserve]

Hi Chelsea lovely to see you in the garden which you seem to love so much .Nice for me to catch you early for me. Husband still hasn't had his op yet but every test has been done so any day now. I love pickles too much I'm the only one in family who does. It's all their faces when I start drinking the vinegar I love it. Hope you're all getting on OK certainly looks like it can't wait to see the garden when everything starts popping up. See you in your next post.

[@janeweldon8874]

That rhubarb looks so beautiful! ❤

[@kristinsteele4994]

Victoria sauce is my absolute favorite!!

[@crazycatlady61]

Everything is looking so green and lush

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Thanks

[@kikomartin-pr]

Now I know what that plant is. When I was a kid, we didn’t know and neither did the neighbors and it was on their property. 😂

[@shirley7137]

I am planning to pick some to dehydrate then grind into a powder for soap making. Makes a pretty pink soap bar the natural way.

[@Sylvie_M]

Great ideas for rhubarb. Thanks Chelsea. I will be trying the BBQ sauce for sure.

[@christinegroll1019]

That bbq sauce is amazing! I don’t like bbq sauce from the store at all but I tried it anyway to use up some rhubarb. So good! This time I have to freeze it but next time I’ll have my canning supplies ready. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

[@karendooks6244]

All looks delicious. As a child I would be given a stick of rhubarb, which had been peeled and a saucer of sugar to dip it in. It was lovely and crunchy

[@kittyrichards9915]

We did the same. I don't ever remember mom making pie, jam or sauce with it.

[@DiannaGrable-fm8jd]

I love Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, but I have never had it with Apples.

[@1944chevytruck]

Rubarb looks awesome!

[@SHADOW-xw6lq]

Hope all is well

[@inspiredclips8245]

Thank you for another variety filled video visit and education!

[@carolync4862]

I absolutely love rhubarb and your son's rhubarb streusel muffins look delicious. Is the recipe available?

[@SJC49]

Love watching you walk down from the house with everyone grazing behind you but understand the need to be kept away from your glorious garden! Beautiful day!😍🇨🇦

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed the video 😊

[@susanyoung2930]

I have heard that pulling rhubarb encourages more growth too.

[@jenmag0313]

Thanks for sharing all the wonderful ways that you can use and can your rhubarb. Everything looked so delicious! Very exciting that you are already adding to the pantry.

[@katiebowen2194]

Chelsea hi i love your videos, tell me what kind of canner you have I’ve never seen that type before. Thanks

[@kalinowskipower-cfmotoatvu3243]

Genius! I never thought about putting comfrey or rhubarb at the base of the fruit trees!

[@zinnialoveci6634]

❤❤❤

[@carolranigler6912]

We love rhubarb too! The bbq sauce and juice look amazingly yummy! Will try those recipes for sure! Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@denissesheartyhomestead]

love watching the harvest. thank you for sharing how to use it as well. enjoy your content so much.

[@kellyhawes9293]

You can also take the rhubarb leaves and lay them flat I sheets to use as garden bed weed cover. Just keep piling them on, natural row cover!

[@LisaPebble]

Chelsea, another very good reason to pull rhubarb versus cutting it is that it stimulates the plant to continue to grow and send out more leaves.

[@jeannetaylor2217]

Your beautiful Rhubarb appears to be Strawberry Rhubarb. It’s the very best 💕🙏🙏

It’s tart.

[@danamama6766]

Oh that all looks so delicious. I never even thought of pickling asparagus.......and it is the season!! Almost over so I will get on it. hugs

[@Sharon-bo2se]

Absolutely adore rhubarb. Your canning looks delish as always.

Fantastic ways to use rhubarb; thanks for sharing! Mine is still ripening here in Alberta. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@retiredcajunlady8835]

Thank you for the updates and recipes! I miss visiting with your animals...babies and parents! Question: can rhubarb be freeze dried? You seem to have a lot of it so I am curious. Thank you another great video.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Yes!

[@user-de6em7rg5f]

Everything looks so delicious, I have never heard of Rhubarb BBQ sauce sounds yummy, love you channel so much

[@sgrvtl7183]

Thank you for this lovely video! I love rhubarb and rarely get it these days. My mom had a big plant outside our kitchen door and made lots of it, when I was a young child. Many decades ago now~! Your canning brought beautiful results to the eye, and I am quite certain will taste delicious in all the recipes you use💚💗

[@dhansonranch]

Love my rhubarb. I usually leave mine for a bit, then pick, chop and freeze so I can make the stuff in the fall and winter. I need to try the BBQ sauce and the juice. Rhubarb relish is so good as well - always have to have it on hand. It all looked really good!

[@sherriekemper1828]

The rhubarb is beautiful. My plants are new so I probably won't get a harvest this year but your pie filling is on my list for next year. Thank you!

[@BarbaraKohler-c8u]

Yummy Yummy in the Tummy!!

[@deno.520]

💓💓

[@donnamcfarren3961]

Nice work! Im pretty sure your rhubarb is the "Canadian Red" variety. I grow it too. It has very large stalks, vivid red color, and a sweet-tart flavor.

[@robbiedickison2005]

I would like to watch you plant your garden!

[@sandi7262]

Rhubarb should be pulled the way you are doing it. If you cut it rhubarb won't send up as many shoots. Or at least that is what my mother told me many moons ago.

[@brendamaas4293]

Love rhubarb juice, it is so tasty. I used to make it years ago.😊

[@lisanorris6518]

I love the jars that have the juice.

[@RAM-eb2te]

Yummy. Love rhubarb anything. Made stewed rhubarb today. ❤😊

[@ryanbuck5524]

Great video as always! I would love to see/hear more about your irrigation system in place.

[@stevegordon5243]

I've never heard of rhubarb juice but it looks and sounds delicious!

[@chrisfarleylover]

Rhubarb is the best! We'll have to try these recipes out. Thank you!

[@teriharman566]

They all looked delicious. I definitely will be making the bbq sauce and pie filling. Thank you for sharing

[@jacquelinerWQ]

Love the ForJars funnels! Just ordered ForJars precut bags for my vacuum sealer… cannot wait to try! 😊❤

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Rhubarb is not something I care for, but your canning projects all looked very pretty!

[@bcworth444]

I have a bunch of 3-stalk rhubarb plants (which have been in situ for a good 5 years). It is exasperating. I keep picking the 3rd stalks. This year I'm trying not to pick any stalks and hope they'll grow into big clumps like yours. Thanks for the great ideas, Chelsea!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Compost! They are heavy feeders and need lots of compost and water when they’re getting established.

[@lindagraff4842]

I just picked rhubarb, and am going to make this tomorrow. I want to try that rhubarb juice too.

[@vickihill4777]

I really enjoy fermented asparagus

[@dianehill6612]

I thought you said you were making strawberry rhubarb pie filling? Didn’t see any strawberries

[@sunshinegardener1189]

Thank you for a lovely video!

[@lmullens75]

Yay!!! I’m a rhubarb novice. I’ve grown it from seeds in Oklahoma 4 years in a row, but it always fades away in the heat. Any advice for when to harvest now that I’ve got them shaded and plan to try keeping them alive… 🤪 I know you’re probably not supposed to harvest from the first year, and mine aren’t turning red. Is that because of the shade cloth maybe? Open to ideas.

[@n3rdygrl]

I really want to try making that pie filling! I've been having a hard time finding rhubarb at the store, though.

[@suzannemartin1202]

Good information re rhubarb! I should grow that, I’m missing out!

[@robertaallen4785]

You mentioned stewed rhubarb on ice cream. You are missing out if you've never eaten it in pancakes

[@SJC49]

Can you feed the rhubarb leaves to any of the animals?😍🇨🇦

[@katrienvh4289]

Hi Chelsea, didn't you once mention that you get sore joints etc? Rhubarb triggers that. It contains oxalic acid. The older rhubarb gets, the more is in it. Oxalic acid can form oxalate crystals and cause pain, stiffness and inflammation in muscles and joints. It can also aggravate the gut lining making it difficult to recover from a 'leaky gut'

[@sallyethridge1393]

I grew up eating rhubarb sauce.

[@cathydavis9259]

How did you tie the cheesecloth with rhubarb sauce up onto the cupboard knobs? So clever. PS when is Dan going to start working on his teenage hot rod car? Chevrolet impala?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Just tie them in the colander and hang them up by the knot. 1970 Lemans - he’s collecting part but says it’s his retirement project.

[@fireflyrocks1]

Comfrey is the last plant I want all over my property. It re=seeds like crazy and is difficult to control. It takes over the entire garden. I don't even throw it on the compost pile to avoid the invasion of the plant. I know it has its benefit but the massive amount of work it creates does not justify its life in my garden.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

There is a variety that doesn’t reseed.

[@thewhitehorsefarm]

How old is that rhubarb bush? It’s huge! Maybe you should chop the leaves, and compost in place. Oh never mind. You said 3 years, and you did compost the leaves in place.

[@shermdog6969]

My rhubarb never gets thicker than a pencil. And always puts of flower stalks as soon as it starts to grow.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Do you live in a hot climate?

[@monikajarsch7766]

Remove the flowerstalks as soon as possible. Than the normal growth of leaves will continue. The early flowering is provoked by unusually hot days at the beginning of springtime.

[@evafelvinczi4797]

My mama used rhubarb when she made gems!

[@victoriaschell2225]

Where did you get the blue pot with the handles in the corners? ive never seen one like that before.

[@atomicbd100]

How do you keep your pickled veggies crisp? Mine get too soft!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I have some tricks I’ll share in an upcoming video.

[@genrottluff1084]

I'm on a quest for red stemmed rhubarb.

[@leannekenyoung]

Chelsea I don’t see any links for the rhubarb recipes that you made?

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Hey are from the Ball Complete book of Home Preserving and Weck Small Batch

[@leannekenyoung]

@@LittleMountainRanch oh that is a different Ball book then the one I have. Maybe I can find a similar recipe online somewhere.
