    In today's weird little video, I recreate Emma Chamberlain's PBJ from scratch. Full recipe below.
    Bread Recipe:
    250g Strong Bread Flour
    5g Salt
    3.5g Yeast
    175g Lukewarm Water
    2.5ml Olive Oil
    Put flour in a bowl with yeast on one side and salt on the other side. Mix yeast on its side, mix salt on its side, pour in the water and mix it up.
    Tip it onto the worktop and knead for 10 minutes.
    Cover bowl in oil, then add/roll dough. Cover bowl with cling or towel and leave for two hours.
    Knock dough back, fold it under itself and then put it on a grease proofed baking tray. Cover with a towel/proving bag and leave for two hours.
    Preheat (fan) oven to 180. Slash the top of the dough, put a tray of boiling water in the bottom of the oven for steam, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
    Jam Recipe:
    200g Fruit
    135g Jam Sugar
    35ml Water
    5ml Lemon Juice
    Put a plate in the freezer.
    Tip blackcurrants into saucepan with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 mins until fruit has broken down to chunky pulp. Leave to cool slightly. Add sugar and lemon juice and heat gently until sugar is dissolved.
    Boil for 10 minutes, remove from heat and spoon some jam onto the frozen plate. Leave it for two minutes then push with your finger. If it wrinkles, the jam is ready, if not, re-boil for two minutes and try again.
    Once its ready, remove from heat, skim off any froth, cool for 15 minutes and then add to sterilised jars (to sterilise jars, wash with soapy water and then place in oven at 120 (fan) for 15 minutes).
    Peanut Butter Recipe
    200g Roasted Peanuts
    Dash of Oil
    Sprinkle of Sweet Cinnamon
    Sprinkle of Sugar
    Basically just blend it up until it looks unappetizing...

      In the US we have both jam and jelly. The jelly is smooth, made from the juices, and the jam has chunks of the fruit, so better quality and a bit more costly. I'm excited to watch this video!!! I know I will be jealous of that sandwich. 🥰🥰🥰

      I made 10 pints of Bumble Berry jam last summer (Blackberries, Raspberries & Blueberries) and I didn’t add any sugar! The flavor was very bright & deeply purple 😋

      @gutschke 4 місяці тому +1

      @bonniepwtf, I suggest looking for store-bought peanut butter that has just peanuts and maybe a small amount of salt. Also, I prefer chunky peanut butter for a more "rustic" feel. That should get you pretty close to what George is making from scratch.
      A lot of commercial peanut butter has other oils as fillers and a variety of emulsifiers. That results in a more homogeneous product that doesn't separate. But it means you are probably eating a bunch of ingredients you didn't mean to eat that day.

    For the bread: you can make the full amount, slice it up and freeze the slices. Depending on the type of bread you can then either put a slice in the toaster or just let them defrost at room temperature for some time.

    We call it jelly because we strain the seeds and pulp until it’s very clear before making it into a jam like spread. If we don’t strain it we call it jam.

    • @xBINARYGODx
      @xBINARYGODx 4 місяці тому +2

      nah, at least when store bought - jelly is defiantly more Jello like vs jam which spreads like soft butter or thereabouts. Also, usually when seeds and stuff like that being left in get labeled as preserves.

Thanks for letting us into your "Quirky, weird, and venerable side of who you really are, Patchy you are great...keep up the great work! Brian P.S. To make your peanut butter a little more appealing looking (especially if your peanuts are really dry) while blending it, get a small container of peanut oil (you should be able to find it online), and using a small amount of it (it will help with smoothing, but also adds more of a peanut taste, and also use a tiny bit of light (not dark) corn syrup instead of sugar to sweeten your peanut butter a bit...this may "smooth" it's texture, and look, or it may not work for you, but try it.

I've always loved to do art (but I'm not an artist) but constantly beat up myself for the result not turning out the way I had in mind it should look. Your little anecdote about putting things off because we're afraid it won't come out perfect is exactly the problem for me. So now, I should take a lesson from the pottery story and just make new stuff every day instead of trying to work on the same sad piece trying to perfect it! Good work!

    In general, and given your heritage and surroundings, I would very much appreciate every from scratch video of this quality.
    I wouldn‘t expect you to have a hearty breakfast of kedgeree or black pudding every morning, but breakfast for dinner, something with leek, you foraging in the surroundings, taking us to the hunter/butchers/fishmonger‘s, you copying your mum‘s secret Sunday Special or Grannie’s pancake/pie/porridge recipe … guess what, I would excitedly comment on everything.
    From scratch cooking allows me to replicate - something I can not do if some Canadian cooking channel does Mexican fajitas with Costco Green Chili sauce, a pouch of spices and a frozen fish I would not find anywhere in Europe!
    From scratch cooking enables me to adept to simple local alternatives!
    Btw, have we all told you already that your voice over is just as relaxing as those „a-river-gently-running-through-a-sunny-glen“ videos?

      Hey there! Jam and Jelly are the same in the US except that Jelly is strained so it contains no seeds and no large fibers. It is a beautiful clear, sweet topping just as jam is sweet but may contain seeds and fiber from the fruits. The gelling element is pectin cooked with sugar and at temperature. Jello is a brand name for a chilled dessert made with gelatin, sugar, water and flavoring. Jellos with additives of whole fruits and vegetables and spices or cream or cheese are popular at church suppers or community pot lucks. Jelly is a lot harder to make so is much less popular with modern home cooks which is why it isn’t seen so much since the 1950s or so when housewives headed back into the workplace.😊

  • @wholeNwon
    @wholeNwon 4 місяці тому +3

    In the US, fruit spreads may be jelly, jam or preserves depending on the ratio of whole macerated fruit to juice (and I guess some other variables). What you made we would call "preserves" not "jelly".

  • @xBINARYGODx
    @xBINARYGODx 4 місяці тому +2

    Not sure about that.
    Over here in the US - jelly is somewhat Jello like (like half-way there), and jam is stuff that spreads like soft butter. That said, I think a lot of the time over here people just say jelly for all of it, for whatever reason - I guess because it's called "people butter and jelly" even if you never actually use jelly.

  • @user-ft9tf5tw6l
    @user-ft9tf5tw6l 4 місяці тому +2

    Actually if you make preserves here in America there is a difference, fruit jelly has the seeds and possibly the fruit skin taken out (as grape, blackberry etc jelly) and jam has the seeds and maybe the skin depending on the fruit still in it. What we call "Jello" is a national brand name of a fruit flavored gelatin. I think the original PB & J sandwich referred to grape jelly (ugh!) which I would replace with raspberry jam.

    It's this randomness that makes me come back to your channel. It's like a breath of fresh air amongst so many youtubers that are stuck in their brand. Plus you just mamange to creat ethis cozy and comfy atmosphere. Keep up the good job :D

    You freeze the berries spread out on a baking tray then put them in a container so they don’t stick together. Looks absolutely delicious.

    Hello George, I just wanted to take a moment and say that I love your videos. They always feel like a warm hug because of how comforting and cozy they are. Thank you for your unique content that always puts a smile on my face. The whole vibe or aesthetic you’ve got going on in your videos and your lifestyle in general is something I hope to achieve myself when I become more stable in my adult life. I’m only 21 but I’m slowly but surely trying my best to find my way, starting by learning to cook with my grandmother. I realized that the earlier I start with such simple yet important things, the more comfortable I’ll be able to feel later on. I still wish I learned earlier but life stuff happened, but better late than never (and still as early as it is quite necessary). Much love to you and that sandwich looks incredible!! I might have to give it a try some day ❤️❤️

    Hi George, I’ve been watching since you bought the tiny house and I don’t normally comment, but every time I watch a video of yours ,I mean to! It’s hard to articulate what I want to say, but basically I really think you have an element of genius. The combination of the topics you discuss , with the video clips etc, is so very creative and skilful. I know you’ve talked about being anxious before, so I just wanted to say that I hope you’re confident about your work because you really should be! Also lovely to hear a fellow Scottish accent in the UA-cam world 😊

    That looks delicious. Here in the US we would actually call that jam. When a spread is made by cooking down whole fruit we call it jam and we make jelly out of the juice of fruit with pectin added for thickener. Jelly has no seeds or texture like jam does. In my last house I had lots of fruit growing and I made jams and jellies out of tart cherries, apples, raspberries, grapes, blackberries, strawberries and gooseberries. We had to move and I miss that fruit.

    Buying some chicks, building a coop. There's a guy in the Italian alps who built a nice one...
    Putting in a garden for the carrots, onions, and garlic.
    It'll be UA-cam heaven! :-)

      Mr. Doolaard! He's posting the first video this year next Sunday, after his holiday break.
      Of course, he's down to 2 chickens now, due to illness and predation.
      One of whom has PTSD from a dog attack so...
      You might want to forgo the chicken pot pie and stick to berry. 🙂@@Patchy

      Quite in the beginning Martijn hiked to visit his neighbour Johannes, an Austrian monk, dispensed by his prior to live as an hermit!
      He has surprised me with coming up on my You Tube feed and I knew exactly who he was!!!
      He has released a series of videos taking us through a year on his mountain, very intelligent, relaxing and philosophic!
      I enjoy suggesting Donjojohannes’ channel to you!

    Patchy, To do an installation with your LED cabinet light strip that won't blind you try putting the light strip on the bottom side of the cabinet toward the front edge of the cabinet. With The LED's shining down on the counter top, then hide the LED's by mounting a small piece of white molding on the front of the cabinet underside. I think you would be much happier with indirect lighting as no one like staring into the Sun.

    I think you will be quite successful after hearing the approach you are taking with your channel and your life in general.
    I have an example of something that I slowly became quite good at. For twenty years I had my own business and I was asked to do speaking engagements and training/motivational talks. I was quite nervous at first, but I did get a coach to do a bit of training once or twice. I also set small goals each time to improve myself. I was just happy to get through some of the talks in front of hundreds of people. I stood behind the lectern, like a preacher. But I felt like a talking head. The next time I had a large audience I decided I would stand beside the lectern and glance at my notes beside me if needed.
    My next step was to have a table set in the middle of the stage. No lectern. I walked back and forth across the stage, slowly, glancing at the notes on the table as needed. I finally arrived at the day when I was speaking in front of thousands of people and I felt just the smallest flutter in my stomach. Stretching your comfort zone is a great way to learn new things and have more fun in life!
    PS The company I worked with finally got teleprompters, ha ha... but by then I didn't really need them!

    I loved this video! As a child, butter was pretty much my ONLY food group! Growing up in “New Scotland” (🇨🇦) jello is jello, jam has the pulp and seeds in it, and jelly is a clear version with the seeds and pulp strained out of it. Jelly has all the flavour without the seeds to get caught between your teeth. Win win!
