Filling the Homestead Pantry with a Big Fall Garden Harvest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Hey Friend, join me in the homestead kitchen as we continue to fill up the pantry with a Fall Garden Harvest. Its time to make one of my favorite soups, Potato Leek! We are making the Best Zucchini Bread and a few loves of Zucchini Cheddar Beer Bread for the Freezer. I can some Hot Sauce for the first time and freeze some brussel sprouts and raspberries. The Freeze Dryer is loaded up twice and we make some stuffed banana pepper and jalapeno poppers for the freezer.
Thanks for watching,
Kelsey

I prepared a huge pan of lasagna in glass pan covered with aluminum. Overnight, while in the fridge with apples next to the pan, the aluminum foil 'melted' into the tomato sauce. I opened the pan before putting into the oven and there were drops of aluminum on top!!!!!! The ripening apples had let off gasses and the acid in the tomato juices reacted with the aluminum foil and I had to throw out a very expensive large pan of supper. Just passing along first hand experience of using aluminum foil with tomato sauce. I think if you put a layer of parchment between the bottom and food or plastic wrap between foil covering and tomato sauce, but I wouldn't try it ever again. I was just lucky I saw the evidence but even a little getting into the food where it touches on the bottom is too much for me. Acid and aluminum just don't mix. I LOVE your videos and watch them as soon as they come out so I don't miss anything. Please, please don't take this as criticism but only as a safety tip. I also love your tip on using the veg peeler to scoop out seeds in peppers - why haven't I ever thought of that!so practical and easy.
Well that’s terrifying! No worries, not viewed as criticism at all! Plus I love a little constructive criticism every now and then 😉 Thank you for sharing, I’m gonna have to figure out an alternative!
Great information! Sorry you had to throw it away, lots of work to make lasagna.
@@seedandsparrowhomesteadparchment and then plastic wrap might work
@@serobinson1 thank you! I'll have to see if I can pop it out of the pan and put down parchment paper!
Thank you for sharing that info, I never would’ve thought of that being an issue. I’m sorry your meal was ruined 😢
Rosemary Gladstar💖 RIP
If you freeze dry the zucchini shredded you can use it in some recipes as bread crumbs crushed up( like meatballs or meatloaf)!
A youtube channel called "More Than Fsrmers" keeps their chickens warmer and lights on a timer so they can get year round eggs.
Just turn your canning grabber turn it upside down and use it for bag holder
I saw a post on FB where people use their canning jar lifter as a bag holder.
I saw a post on fb which shows that you can turn your can holder upside down and it serves the same purpose as a bag holder
Amazing how you do it all. I love your videos, thank you for sharing.😊
My tiny bell peppers look just like yours!
I just saw on IG to use your jar lifter for canning - open it up, place upside down, and the baggie fits/folds over! 🤯🙌🏻
Ziplock bag with a corner cut off might be easier/cleaner to stuff the peppers with.
Don’t buy a bag holder. Tip your jar lifter over. Handles on the table with jaws open. Place the bag on either side of the lifter part and fill away.
Busy lady the zucchinicheese bread looked like something i would make.thanks for the recipe .ill be trying it out
For the poppers, I put my filling in a zip top bag, snip one of the corners and then pipe it into the peppers.
Good idea! Thanks 😊
Would your family enjoy berries cooked into oatmeal? I decrease the water in my oatmeal and add berries then cook and I love it.
I keep a jar of vinegar in the fridge and as my peppers are ready to harvest, I simply deseed and add them to the jar. Once I’m ready to make hot sauce, I use the jar of peppers from my fridge and the vinegar is infused with flavor.
I actually keep Tabasco infused vinegar in the fridge for greens, fish and eggs year round. The only thing I do to make it is throw whole peppers in a bottle of vinegar. Easy peasy.
Brilliant, thank you! ☺️
I have to try that hot sauce. It is now on my to do list lol.
I saw a hack for a DIY ‘bag holder’ using your mason jar lifter/tongs - when they’re in the ‘open’ position you can put a zip lock bag in the middle and fold the open edges over the two handles to keep them open while you fill them!
You can freeze dry your berries they are really good.
I do! I actually have at least 6 gallons freeze dried 😬😂 I’m just out of space everywhere! I figure some jams could be given away this Christmas ☺️
Hi Kelsey,
Just a suggestion. I see you r a real busy lady and instead of standing and chopping, slicing away you should sit on a high stool which is easy on your feet, back and legs.
That potato leek soup looks amazing! It's definitely time for a hearty warm soup.
I’ve always done “jalapeño poppers” halved, cream cheese, half slice bacon. Never considered doing them whole.
Thank you! I rarely comment but enjoy your videos very much. Will do better. ❤ Thank you for sharing. xo
I love your recipe for the leek bacon and potato soup a comforting balance so nice when it's cold out, some great preservation. xxx
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy!
I just love the blue in your kitchen, such a nice color!
I have made fire cider with thawed jalapenos that I had frozen that I cut in half and froze. The fire cider turned out wonderful.
Slice jalapeño’s in half and use a spoon to spread filling in. Gets more coverage and not a big honking popper lol
I do this sometimes but we actually prefer the big pepper 😂
@@seedandsparrowhomestead oh and a drizzle of hot honey after baking! Chefs kiss!
@@lisalandry4879ohhh YUM!
Simple an practical use of your harvest. Kudos to you.
Pemona’s pectin is the best! All I ever use. I try to find recipes that are already made but definitely just create my own or tweak the recipe to use with Pemona’s. There’s a little informational fold out thing that comes with the pectin & tells you basic recipes & what amount of pectin to use per cup of fruit & amount of sweetener (of choice) for creating your own recipes. Hope you give it a try 😊
Awesome! Thank you for the info! I’ll for sure put it to use ☺️
Pomonas is all I’ve ever used. I love it. I’ve heard some people have had issues with it not working, but after hundreds of batches, I never have.
I finally bought bag holders off of Temu cheap!!! I really didn't want to add more plastic but they really help.
I try to always be intentional with my purchases especially because our home is small, but I really think it would save time and frustration!
There have been many, many, cases of identity fraud and bank fraud tried to Temu. Also, forced labor practices are how they have such cheap prices. I’m not trying to lecture you. It’s just information for you to do with as you see fit.
@@Just-Nikkishein is the same.
Use your jar lifter from canning (turned upside down) or beverage pitchers/recycled food storage containers. Anything that will hold the bags open and stable will work, and no extras to buy or store. Also, I fold the tops of the bags over a couple of times, so any mess or drips is inside the bags for easy clean up.
All you created today looks scrumptious! As children were resting, I was prepping for this week's menus. While doing so, I watched this video....a wonderful way to brighten my day! I have never stuffed banana peppers, and have many of them in the garden. I usually pickle them for sandwiches/salads, but oh, the look of the stuffed had me drooling! As always, thank you for sharing!! Blessings.
What a delicious soup!
I freeze dried all 30 gallons of raspberries this year. Saves freezer space and the mylar are easier to store in the totes. I think you meant to say your freeze dryer was cooling down and not warming up? Lol
Going to try fire cider this year.
I freeze dried chipotle’s but unsure of what to do with them? Maybe making adobo sauce, and rehydrating them in the sauce?
I love potato leek soup. My first try was in 1987, in Key West FL!
I freeze dried shredded zucchini- it works great for bread/muffin recipes.
Hey Kelsey have you seen where Harvest Right made where you can change the 4 tray to a 5 tray? Becky at Acre Homestead just did that and I thought you could probably put having more trays to use also! 🥰 Really enjoy your videos!
Great video. I am definitely going to make the leak soup. It looks so yummy. Everything does.
Love watching your videos. I learned so much. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you! 🤍☺️
This looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe. I'm not a soup person personally.. I think it comes from being a nurse for 40 years. But I am trying different recipes now to see what I like and don't like. This seems like a winner to me! Thank you..😊
Thank you! I hope you find some you enjoy 🤍
Just to make sure I'm not missing something, what's the link between soup and nursing? Assuming maybe it's something you packed alot, but just want to double check all your patients weren't there because of soup consumption or something 😂
Thank you for the recipes i love your videos.
Thank you so much! 🤍
I love leaks and shallots. Roasted shallots are the best! I also really love parsnips and I don’t understand why they aren’t a popular choice in the U.S. I’m coming over for dinner, scooch over 😋
YAS! I love love parsnips, roasted and as fries are my favorite! You’d be welcome here anytime ☺️
Hi girl
Weird question what color are your cabinets ..i love them
LOL totally not weird! It’s cloudy sky by Benjamin Moore, looks more gray on their website but translates blue in person!
Love your videos! ❤
Thank you so much!!🤍🤍🤍
Try using a pipe bag to fill your peppers. ❤
Great idea! I have to get one!
I’ve never had a leek but that potato leek soup looked delicious! I think I might try my hand at growing leeks next year. My absolute favorite way to use zucchini is in chili. It sounds really strange but I’m telling you it’s the best chili ever! The recipe I follow is from Laura Fuentes and it’s called Paleo Chili. Those jalapeño poppers looked so good! I don’t eat pork so I’d probably sub with turkey or beef bacon. Great video! Thanks for sharing :)
They are seriously so yummy and that chili sounds delish, I’ll be trying it out! Thank you for watching 🤍🤍🤍
I have been binge-watching your videos over the last couple of days. I LOVE them! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and welcoming me into your home through your videos. Quick question: I am thinking of potentially getting a freeze dryer (one day). Could you share some recipes in the future where you use these goods in your everyday cooking and how you like it? I really like your pantry meal videos. So helpful! Thanks again for sharing!
Azure standard has maple sugar. Have you tried that? We are planning to try that soon.
I have not but I’d like too! I don’t have a drop close enough though and haven’t found it at a good price elsewhere ☹️
What about freeze drying the raspberries
I have about 6 gallons of freeze dried too! I’m running out of room all over 😂
Can you actually get the kids to drink the fire cider? I made stuffed banana peppers using ground beef that I browned, seasoning, cream cheese, and shredded cheese. I par boiled the peppers, stuffed them, and wrapped them in Crescent rolls then baked them.
Jessica from three rivers uses permonas ? Sp pectin book .
It’s always so restful watching your channel, even though you working so hard. Great job at all your projects, the soup looks delish. Oh been meaning to ask you, how do you like your mockmill grinder? Been thinking of getting one. Thanks 🌷🇨🇦
Tried maple syrup in the lemonade. Do not recommend. Did honey for the ice tea too. It might grow on me. I've been going for unsweet tea out of the house. Life is hard. Lol
Great ideas Kelsey. I have some peppers that are destined for hot sauce for my husband. I’ll give the quick and easy recipe a try. I don’t recall if you said what the heat level was like for the sauce. I don’t eat hot sauce but my husband likes it hot! I don’t recall where I saw this idea but have you ever sliced zucchini really thin and sprinkled the slices with vinegar and a little salt then freeze dried them. Apparently they’re delicious.
The soup looks amazing and definitely a good choice when you want something to make you feel warm and cozy! As always, thank you for the video!
Well, I may not be the best judge when it comes to heat cause I’m a wuss 😂 I personally think it’s pretty hot, but my plans are really just a little mixed into Buffalo chicken dip and maybe wings. The heat level will really depend on which pepper you use. I have thought about doing the zucchini chips! I think I’m the only one who will eat them though and I’m currently full carnivore for the foreseeable future. Thank you for watching friend! Enjoy your day 🤍
@@seedandsparrowhomestead 😂 well I’m a wuss too! It’s also very hard on my gut but my husband believes the hotter the better 🥴
I may use an assortment of peppers to be able to include some HOT options.
Bless you. 🤗
I just found your page. I would love to get more into this kind of work in the kitchen, and with gardening. What tool would you suggest should be the first thing to invest in? I know each type of task would use something specific, but maybe there's one that you suggest first that's all-around helpful?
Love this video! Can we have the stuffed pepper filling recipe? Thanks!
Absolutely!! Somehow I missed that! I’ll get it up now ☺️
Its in the description now!
I’ve been meaning to ask, were you able to clean off the drip stains from your freeze dryer? I watched that video recently and I saw a lot of suggestions & wondering if any worked. Comment section is always so full of great knowledge & very helpful info.
When I make Popper's I use a pastry bag to fill them but I was wondering if when making the stuffed banana peppers do you think that I would be able to use a pastry bag to fill those as well?

Question on the freeze dryer - if you combine different strong smelling things, does it affect other not so strong smelling items? Say you freeze dry onions and then put something else along with the onions, does the onion smell permeate it all?
I personally have not noticed that happening. I try to combine loads with like things but that doesn’t always happen. I had an entire load of garlic and was worried it would stink up the whole freeze dryer and you couldn’t even tell there was garlic in there!
@@seedandsparrowhomestead good to know, thanks!
Why don't you show your animals?
I have shown our layer hens, they are in quite a few videos. We aren't raising the pig; our friends are so that's why you don't see him! I haven't shown any of our meat bird process because I just wasn't sure there was enough interest in it!
I appreciate that you do not have a video heavy with animal content, gardening and cooking can be done small scale. City or country.
