Welcome to Locally Raised! My name is Marta. I'm a former professor striking out on a new adventure: homesteading on an acre. I've just moved across the country to live in my childhood home and change the way I source my family's food. Join me on my journey! I'll share the process of starting from scratch, growing and raising food in our own back yard and sourcing from local farmers.
Making Pie Crust & Quiche (while cultivating peace)
This morning I'm taking time to slow down, gather eggs, and prepare for hosting a brunch. I'll share how to make a pie crust by hand (it's flaky and delicious!) and we'll use the crust to make quiche.

Baby Chicks: Magic Water, Preparing the Brooder, Introducing the Chicks
I love making homemade crust but have the most awful time with the sides 'crawling' back down when blind baking. I use dried beans as a pie weight but it still happens. The dough will actually shrink down until it touches the beans and can't go further. Any suggestions?
Wait ya left Texas? Where did y’all end up @? Oh and does it snow there and how much . I miss the snow as I live in San Antonio, Spurs country .
I love San Antonio! It's my favorite Texas city. We were in Austin area, and now we're in Central Pennsylvania.
I have the same book as you do, I just got it a week ago. Good to know these things. I would have questioned it too, as you did. The salt should pull the liquid out of the onions a good bit, but I will no doubt feel inclined to add a tad of butter, just to make me feel good.
Thanks, that makes sense: liquid maybe isn’t necessary for carmelizing, but maybe it helps things go a little faster. I’m curious why this recipe was changed. Oh well. Happy canning!
Just found your channel, great content. You said you use a food mill when you make applesauce. I used to for many years. Now I use an immersion blender, it’s quicker and so much easier. Have a blessed day!
I hadn’t thought to try an immersion blender. Thanks! Welcome to my channel 😊
Love those jar lids. Where can you find those?
Thanks! I love them, too. You can find them here: amzn.to/486ECRk
@Locally_Raised thank you.. New yo canning single meals. Will you be doing videos how to prepare from jar to table?
King Soopers have Pumpkin Pie pumpkins on sale for.99cents! I picked up 3.
That’s a great find!!
Hi Marta, Pam Cantrell Data Logger testing sold me on the Nesco too! I purchased mine last year, and thus far have only pressure canned my garden veggies. Now that I am more familiar with how the Nesco works, it's time to branch out!. I've been wanting to do some pinto beans, but was a tad bit apprehensive until I watched your video. Very nicely done, thank you so much, God's blessing to you!
I’m so glad! I was overwhelmed by the idea of pressure canning until I got the Nesco canner, and now I just love being able to have things on my shelf like beans and meals in a jar. It makes me happy to see other people using it, too. Happy canning 😊
I make a turtle cheesecake every year for Christmas. My first springform pan came from a thrift store too! and I used it for over 20yrs until it got a bit rusty and the hinge wasn't as tight. I wonder if the manicotti recipe would've been easier using the jumbo shells?
I've not heard of jumbo shells. Yes, for sure! I'm all about simplifying and saving time when I can.
Mmmmmmm the cheese cake I could get behind. I would like the other things also but my husband just can’t try new things. I made a spaghetti sauce with butternut squash and he complained for days 😢. I loved it but yeah not a staple for the list. This week I canned Apple Cranberry pie filling. We’ll have that at thanksgiving this year.
I think the cheesecake is my favorite pumpkin recipe right now. I've actually never canned a pie filling. I often freeze my pie crusts, so a pie would come together so fast if the filling was already prepared, too. Have a great week!
The pie filling sounds delicious. Do you mind sharing which recipe you used?
🍊YUM! 🍊
I can attest that the pumpkin manicotti was delicious!
The kneady homesteader has a French onion soup that’s awesome, please check out her channel, her , her husband and two children were in a head on wreck, Her Husband didn’t make it… she is super sweet, I have watched them for a long time and she has been thru many surgery’s , she been on a horrible journey, but her recipes are awesome.. you will like her
You can grind the dried mushrooms to a powder and make and can meatballs with onions and beef broth or tomato sauce, it’s great and nobody knows , lol
Ooh! I love that because my kids definitely don’t share my mushroom love. I think I’ll try to sneak them into some meatballs.
I have made French onions soup many times, you do not have to put any liquid with your onions , they produce juice as they sweat., I do not use any alcohol ever, that’s only a French thing , but you do you, I love your channel
Thanks!
Oh yummmmm
Loved your video and you have many helpful tips to offer others. I bet your kitchen smelled great. I do have one suggestion and that is to put water in the bowl to wash the basil leaves and then strain it in the colander. You might get cleaner basil that way.
Good call; thanks!
Can you add veggies to the beef meal.
These recipes have been tested for safety. I wouldn’t add veggies. Sorry.
How many servings per jar
It depends on what you consider a serving and how you eat it (served over rice, pasta, etc.). Each jar is a quart, so you could consider it four servings of each person eats a cup.
Hi Marta! We have top bar hives here in Devonshire, England. Maybe you'll end up making bee buddies on here until you can find ones locally. All the best on your bee keeping journey! 😊
I love how this video has brought me in contact with beekeepers from all over the world! Hello from the US. Thanks for watching as best wishes 😊
Wow! Thanks for the tip, I don't need to pre sterilize❤❤❤
Glad I could save you some time!
Hi!! I would love to see a video on your canned cranberry juice!! I am going to buy a nesco electric canner because of your potato canning video, and seeing your jars of cranberry juice is making me so so so excited!!!
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re getting the Nesco canner; I hope it serves you really well 😊. I can definitely do a video on cranberry juice-it won’t be long before the stores are stocked with cranberries again. The juice is water bath canned, so it doesn’t have to be canned in the Nesco, but it can be canned in it if you stick to pints.
You need to invest in a vacuum sealer for your frozen foods
Yes, I know that would be better for preserving all the flavor/texture of the food. I’m buying a little bit of gear at a time, but maybe I’ll get one next year.
Hello Marta, my name is Lori. New subscriber here. Don't mind if I live vicariously through you. 😀😀 Congratulations on your new found journey. It'll be exciting to see all that you do. Much love from Vero Beach, Florida!!
Hi, Lori! I’m glad you found me. Thanks for reaching out and introducing yourself. Wishing you all the in Florida 😀
Looks like you are doing very well with all of your canning, looks like you will be all stocked up soon!
Thanks! I’m planning to add a few more things, but hopefully this will see us through some dinners over the winter.
I love your pantry shelves! Mine is much smaller. It’s mostly for me because my hubby just isn’t accepting of canned goods. If I use it in a casserole he doesn’t know it’s there so that’s ok. But he won’t eat any of my jelly or jam. I made grape jelly just for him but he only eats the store brand. 😢 this year I am just having fun with it. I made honeyed yellow tomato butter. I mix it with my yogurt. I also made some tomato soup with heirloom red, yellow and orange. He’ll be eating that 😏. I’m making tomatillo salsa next. Thanks Marta!
I’ve known a few others whose husbands were wary of canned goods. I laughed when I read that you sometimes sneak them into casseroles 😆 I’ve never heard of tomato butter. That sounds great! Best of luck with your tomatillo salsa!
Your shelves of canned goods looks so pretty! Becky from Acre Homestead uses containers in her deep freezer with strap type handles making moving and lifting the containers out easy. I don’t have that style freezer but just saw her organizing her freezer.
Thank you! I’ll definitely check out that video. She’s so thorough; I don’t doubt she has a good system for keeping things organized.
Wow great progress! You did a lot!👍
Thank you! 😊
Why don't you harvest on a nice day? I'm also harvesting. I invite you to visit my small garden on a beautiful day
Thanks! I do my garden projects/filming each week on a day when my mom can take my kids for a couple hours, so sometimes I just make things happen despite the weather.
You are doing the raw pack method and it’s my understanding that jars should be kept at room temperature and the broth shouldn’t be heated either. Am I wrong?
Good question. I’ve seen raw pack recipes that call for room temperature liquid, but for this recipe, Ball specifies heated jars and hot broth.
Raw packing does not require all ingredients to be at cool temperature. Raw packing merely refers to the main ingredient not being cooked or blanched in advance. You will generally have less product and more liquid in your jar after canning is completed.
I have been keeping bees now for 5 years. Started with 3 langstroth hives. Went thru the 2 year learning curve. Now raise my own new colonies to replace loses. Three years ago I built a Kenya hive during the winter. Bees love it. It took 2 years before bees completely filled it with comb but now it produces new colonies every year. My long hives seem to winter better than Lagstroth hives. Since then I have built 3 long hives that use langstroth deeps. 35 frames each. All produce well and yes they are so much easier to work with. Eventually I will replace all my hives with long hives.
That's great! Since making this video, I've heard from a lot of people who love their horizontal Langstroth hives. I would definitely like to give that a try at some point. It's reassuring to hear that your horizontal hives do well over the winter. My first colony didn't make it through this past winter, but I've got a new colony and I'm hoping this is my year. All the best.
@@Locally_Raised Treat for mites this month and give them a sugar board for the winter. They should do fine.
@@Rennyteam359 Thanks!
You can make pumpkin raviolis using the wanton wrappers made of rice so they r gluten free. They r very tender, I made a sage and butter sauce for them years ago. Very yummy. I make pumpkin cookies every fall, my family loves them.
Ooh, I hadn’t thought of pumpkin ravioli (or of using rice paper to make it gf). Nice!
@@Locally_Raised and pumpkin gnocchi!
New subscriber here from Australia. Can you use beef broth instead of wine?
Yup! Swapping broth for wine if a safe option in this recipe. Happy canning 😊
Man those broccoli crowns are just beautiful. All the veg are so nice. One thing about the pumpkin. I don’t think there’s a safe recipe for purée. The only canning recipe I’ve seen is for chunks. But check your recipes for sure. I want o do some tomato salsa and hot sauce too. The hot sauce is for my daughter. Plus I have a lot of tomatillos. Still looking for ideas for that. I think I can make a salsa with them. See you next week! 😊
Thanks! My mom just told me the same thing about pumpkin purée: you’re right. I might freeze purée, because I’d really like to have some for pumpkin bread and pie. I’m jealous you’ve got tomatillos; mine didn’t do well at all. I pulled them out and I’ll just try again next year. Have a great week 😊
Rainy fall days are the best! Good video!
Yes they are! Thanks!
👍
Freeze your basil in ice cube trays.
That's a awesome easy recipe. Very informative. Thank you.😊
My pleasure 😊
How long will it last in the fridge
If you're asking about the pesto, it will last for two weeks in the fridge, but it will start to lose some color and flavor after a few days.
Can you not harvest basil after it seeds?
Yes, it just slows down its growth a lot if it seeds, so I try to harvest regularly to encourage it to keep growing.
@@Locally_Raised thanks, I liked the video.
@@scottworley1479 No problem, thanks for watching :)
Here is something I do and it really helps with the debubbling. If you put a little of your liquid in the bottom of the jar it will start filling in the air bubbles on its own.
I’ve never heard that. That makes sense. Thank you!
@@Locally_Raised You're welcome.
Do you make sauerkraut? It has very many probiotics and is soooo good.
Thanks! I made some a few weeks ago from a previous cabbage harvest. Well probably be ready for another round by the time those little cabbages have grown 😊
I would lose the potatoes in the meals in a jar if they are too full. You can always can potatoes separately and add when reheating.
I actually just canned some potatoes a few weeks ago, so that would work perfectly. Good call!
Thank you for youre video. And great tips. Im new to pressure canning, and really appreciate youre detailed video. And love the chop list idea :).
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy pressure canning. For me, it was so nice to venture beyond things like jellies and applesauce (though I love those, too) and be able to put sustenance on the pantry shelf.
Hi Marta, happy Fall! I’m about ready to go out to water my neglected garden. I’ve been sick with Covid, of all things, all week. Haven’t been out since Monday. So far this year I’ve canned elderberry pear jam. I’m hoping that I’ll still get a good jalapeño harvest and some tomatoes for sauce. It’s really cooled down here in Nebraska. The high will be 68f. I have broccoli and cabbages and cauliflower planted. So far the cabbages have tiny little heads. I think the weather has really affected gardening here. Nothing else is heading up. My kohlrabi was great last year but this year, nothing. 😢 Only a few cucumbers as well. Your garden is really nice! All the pumpkins and beans so nice. Thanks for the tour you made my day 😊
Happy fall to you, too! Sorry to hear that you’re sick. It sounds like fall arrived in Nebraska a little earlier than it did here in PA. We’ve just started to cool off this week, and I’m ready for it. Fall is my favorite for sure. Have a great week 😊
I like your recipes and will definitely try your method. Thank you
My pleasure 😊 Happy canning!
fellow PA girl here!
Hi, neighbor!
What a great idea to put the amounts for one jar in the notes! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome ☺️
How long are the jars filled with beef good for? What is the shelf life of them?
They have a “best by” date of 18 months. After that point, canned goods tend to start losing some color/flavor/texture. But they’re still safe to eat as long as they remain sealed (which could last for years).
Excellent video
Thank you 😊
