The Rat and the Toad
Our game camera caught a toad and a kangaroo rat prancing around together one night...
Nuwe Blare Homestead is a homestead in the Arizona desert. We (try to) grow our own food with our desert garden, we raise chickens and ducks for eggs, and we build the things we need. Homesteading in the harsh Arizona climate is not easy, but we are learning how to use the resources we have at hand to accomplish our goals. We're a South African-American family, so we occasionally share recipes for South African dishes.

Fence Post Digging Hack
Переглядів 9712 роки тому
Living in Arizona means that any time you have to dig a hole, you know you're in for a world of pain. Thankfully we figured out a hack that helps dig through all the tough layers of rock and clay: a pressure washer! Stick the nozzle down into the hole, and dig the hole out further with high-pressure water. Then put the auger back in to pull out all the mud, and leave you with a hole that was mu...

    Just a thought if you're putting the konfyt into the refrigerator is it necessary to boil them again with the lid on. I'm sure it is if they are going to be stored on a shelf but not if you're refrigerating them. Also i think they have to boil for 10 minutes to be safe if you're 1000 ft or less above sea level. Please correct me if I'm wrong

    • @NuweBlareHomestead
      @NuweBlareHomestead 6 місяців тому

      You don't need to can/boil them if you're putting them in the fridge. Depending on how long it takes you to go through them, it may be an idea to store some on the shelf, and some in the fridge. We put ours on the shelf for storage, so we need to can/boil them properly. As for canning, it depends on what you height above sea level is. We have a few canning books, and they have charts in them for how long to boil things depending on elevation. I think I just used the same charts for the konfyt as fruit preserves or jam.

    When we live in Tucson, I had to dig a bunch of 4' x 4' holes for trees, I was young and tough and banged them out with a shovel, pick, and digging bar! Some of the layers were so hard, I would throw the digging bar like a spear into the hole and only chip out a small piece the size of nickel! Sure was a good way to work up a set of blisters...a couple of times I tried to put water in the hole and wait a day, but the boss said it was too dangerous and would not allow that. Wish we would have known about this trick! I saw landscaping companies digging tree holes with a Bobcat or even using jackhammers!

    Thanks for sharing. Instead of cinnamon I use crushed ginger and, before soaking in the bicarb solution, I use a fork to prick holes into the centre of each piece of rind. A bit of a tedious job but it leaves each piece with a crisp centre surrounded by gooey juiciness with a crisp outer shell. Yum!! 💗

    Here is a bit of advice, I'm not trying to be a douchebag here. First, Clean your Pot itself. And yes, the Outside too. Having pride in your potjoe starts with what the pot looks like. From the inside out. Secondly, You never use frozen vegetables in potjiekos. Never...ever. It cheapens the Culture of Potjiekos. Frozen vegetables and frozen food in general have a watered-down taste to them. Almost artificial. Lastly, never use your bare hands in a cast iron pot. One day you will burn your fingers. Pun intended. Also, it leaves a bad taste, no pun intended to the viewer or the people having to eat the food. Or maybe it is just me. It all adds to being clean when working with food.
