You have no idea how I look forward to your videos. ❤️❤️❤️ It’s like visiting with a good friend.
I feel exactly the same. 😊
That teaches you things most times you see her
Same!!
Same here!🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Thank you so, so much. That means a lot to me.
First Becky, now Chelsea! Woohoo!
Yep, it’s that time of year!
Yes! I thought the same thing!
Haha... my 2 favorites too 😀
I fancy Beckys gnocchi with Chelsea's tomato sauce and cheese for supper!!
Yes my 2 favorite!
i just love your channel and enjoy watching you can and garden. I don't know if you already know this but I always buy a large root of ginger, wrap it well and keep it in the freezer. I just grate it frozen and it keeps forever. I cook so much Asian inspired dishes I can't do without! Thanks for sharing all your hard work.
Since it is a rhizome one can plant a piece in the garden and it will propagate. Of course I don’t know if it will survive in the colder regions like I live in. I haven’t tried it because I don’t have a garden.🤔
I always put mine in the freezer as it grates so easily and doesn't go bad before I can use it. I also do the same with galangal which is a much milder taste of ginger and a lovely pink colour mostly.
Such a great tip! Thank you.
Chelsea, you are so amazing! I multi-task, as well, but you are the most efficient person I’ve seen in a long time. Job well done!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
Wow, thank you!
Cilantro used to taste like soap to me. I kept trying it over the years and love it now! It has a lot of benefits and can remove heavy metals from your body.
Hello Chelsea, Apparently you can just put the piece of ginger in a bag in the freezer and grate some as you need it. Good luck with preserving all those tomatoes!
I peel then break root ginger into useable sizes then freeze. I find if I grate it as soon as I take it out of the freezer it is easy to use. Once thawed it is squishy and harder to work with.
You make things look so good!😊
Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I agree with your comments regarding canning practices. There are many practices that have been tried and true for decades in Amish and Mennonite kitchen's that are still frowned upon by FDA regulations. I find that also true for European canning methods as well.
Exactly. I am from Spain.
I’m a city girl who doesn't even cook, but I love your videos. Howdy from Texas!
Thanks for inspiring me to keep on canning lol. I know red tomatoes need to be peeled but I don’t. I wash them well and can them. I also know a processing plant has a different set up than home canners do however, I buy canned tomatoes that have skins on them so there’s that lol. I do have a nice recipe for steak sauce that uses tomatoes so when I get home, I’ll post it for you. It is one of my favourites. It’s not what one would think steak sauce to be, it’s more like a relish and is absolutely delicious on mashed potatoes, pork, chicken and beef etc.
Steak Sauce Recipe
16 cups (4qt basket) ripe tomatoes
6 cucumbers seeded, cut fine (the dicer on your kitchen aid would be awesome for that)
5 small onions chopped
Add a little less than 1/4 cup of course salt. Let stand overnight. Drain well in the morning.
Sauce:
4 2/3 cups white sugar
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp tumeric
A little more than a tablespoon of flour and 2 cups of vinegar
Mix the dry ingredients together, then add vinegar. Stir well (I use a whisk)
Bring to a boil and add vegetables.
Boil 20 minutes. Add to jars while hot.
I water bath can this for 20 minutes. It never had the instructions as it’s a very old recipe. I use to bottle while hot and the lids would seal but now I process it.
Have you heard of chow chow? It consists of cabbage, green tomatoes, onions, and/ or bell peppers, sometimes even zucchini, or other surplus garden veggies. It's a southern staple. Hot or mild, it's delicious! Both my grandmothers used to make chow chow. It was so good. I no longer have their recipes but Google has hundreds.
Love it!
I truly enjoy canning myself. It's great to see your process vs mine and recipes. Incredibly fun, educational and thoughtful. Growing and feeding your family is exciting🥰
To my fellow soap tasters ... try a smoky salsa with no cilantro. Smoked paprika and/or chipotle. It is our fave. Otherwise if you want more traditional salsa, use parsley and either lemon or lime juice (or both)
You are such a hard worker. I could never do what you do. Love watching you and I always learn a lot too. Who says at 65 you can't learn anything new. Lol
Is there somewhere we can print off the green tomato salsa recipe you used? 🙂 That looks good!
I just love your videos! I’m on a cruise right now sitting in my balcony looking at your videos and listening to the ocean. I live in an over 55 neighborhood but grew a bunch of tomatoes just in my back yard beds against house. Crazy good year. I have 25 gallon bags of tomatoes in freezer to deal with when I have time. I’ve already mad a bunch of salsa, bruschetta and eaten tomatoes fresh. Anyone can grow some food for themselves.
You inspired me to make green tomato chutney on saturday. Quite common here in nothern England though I haven't made it in years. A real taste of my childhood. Thank you for making me get up and do stuff.
This year I turned all my green tomatoes into lacto-fermented pickles with dill, chili flakes, and pickling spices. Also very good on hotdogs!
You can make:
1/Tomato soup
2/Saksouka
3/You can put hole tomatoes on jars with salt and boiling water so that after you use them as you want easy quick way.
4/Ketchup
5/Chopped tomatoes in jars are so handy.
Chelsea, do get some fresh ginger and freeze it, grate it when still frozen, for recipes. The flavor is not even close to ground ginger--bright, flavorful, wonderful. Different! So much better! Ground is not really a substitute for fresh. Ginger freezes soo well! thanks for the videos.
Hi Chelsea really glad I’ve found your channel recently. I love how down to earth you are which encourages us lesser homesteaders in our journey.
I’m from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 down south . Last year we had an unusual tomato growing season and had to pick a lot off the vine when blushing. But I had tonnes of green ones too. An Italian friend gave me some helpful advise what to do with Green tomatoes. You can ripen them in a brown paper bag under the sink and within 5-7 days they are ripe. I tried it with ours and yes it works. I got so much more yield from our harvest. Only issue that don’t forget to check them and leave them to rot. Lol I thought I’d let you know that helpful tip. Cheers from Oz.
My mom made tomato jam all the time to eat on cream corn, green beans, especially in summer. I love it, one of my favorite foods ever. It was sweet and spicy. She canned all kinds of pickles and relishes, jellies, kraut etc. Pear relish was another favorite sweet and spicy. She also filled the freezer every summer. Daddy always had a good garden and i always helped. Good times.
Canning madness! Another day closer to your pantry tour 💥
Have you ever considered making LMR tea towels?
Fried Green tomatoes are absolutely amazing. It’s a southern recipe. I’m in Louisiana.
A green tomato suggestion... green tomato mincemeat. It's absolutely yummy! A favourite in our family for three generations.
If some of your kids don’t like cilantro it might be worth growing some Peruvian huacatay (also known as Peruvian black mint) and trying that in the salsas for the zesty flavour. It is also great dried for teas to help fight colds and respiratory infections and it is also antispasmodic so good for stomach aches too. You start it like celery, as it needs light to germinate and it can get pretty tall but has an excellent flavour especially in dishes with peppers, chillies and garlic 😊
Pam here….this sounds so interesting!! Wonder where you can get seeds from ?
Where might someone find seeds for it?
I've never heard of that. really interesting as I love seed coriander but hate leaf coriander/ Cilantro. Thank you.
@@KeithandPamBilyeu not sure where you are but try a search for Huacatay, Peruvian black mint seeds and your country & hopefully they will show up for you 😊
@@wrinklesandsprinkles not sure where you are but try a search for Huacatay, Peruvian black mint seeds and your country & hopefully they will show up for you 😊
I remember when cilantro was mostly unheard of. I am 73. I do love it and so
Does my family. My day didn’t go as planned either! I didn’t realize a freeze door was not closed properly. This was my bone broth freezer, they were cold and frosty but partly thawed, so I have spent the day canning bone broth. I make the broth in my Instant Pot cooking for 90 minutes. I had to do two batches. Included some chicken feet too. Love your food processor!!
Sweet Yellow Tomatoes make the best tomato jam. It goes great on grilled cheese sandwiches in winter.
Last year I put cherry tomatoes of different colors with several cloves of garlic in quart and filled the jars with good extra virgin olive oil, covering the tomatoes and stored them in my frig. During the winter we smeared them on toasty sourdough bread and it was delicious. Three quart jars lasted the two of us from Nov-April, and the slight fizz they developed was added flavor.
My grandma used to make green tomato pie. Mom said it tasted like apple pie.
Thank you for your videos 🙂. They add much needed simplicity and calm to my life.
Funny, I hated cilantro when I was younger, but now I love it.
I got the kitchen aid strainer this year and I love it. It removes all the skins and the seeds in very little time.
We keep ginger in the freezer so doesn't go bad before you can use it all. I use a microplaner to get the ginger I need and then pop it back in the freezer.
Love to see the harvests and saving for winter…. Thanks for all you do 😊
When your face told us how ‘wowie zowie’ the salsa tasted, I wonder what it would be like if you freeze dried some and reconstituted it with a small amount of water….would it taste just as fresh rather than canning it and losing some of the freshness? Curious……We haven’t yet been able to afford a freeze dried of our own and I just can’t wait for the day when I can play around with one! 👍 Love watching you working in the kitchen alongside myself while I process my own harvest. Take care friend! Cheers from Campbell River! Xoxo
Oh in regards to the chickens and squash seeds and pulp. Yes it does help prevent worms. Chickens, and Cows. I didnt know that they loved tomatoes and potatoes though ..
The scenery out your kitchen windows is so beautiful! I love the fall time!
I watch you regilously you are wonderful and a role model for me
Not food related but you mentioned that you heard your canadian accent when you were editing your video. Reminded me of when my sister and I recorded ourselves singing on a cell phone before smart phones and we were awful lol. I read it's because how you hear yourself when you are talking is because of the vibration of the inner inner compared to recording and listening it back.
I love that attachment for your KA food processor🩷
Thanks to you I bought a steam canner and I love it. It saves so much water and time and so much easier than the big water bath canner. And as always I love your videos! You’re my favorite and I look forward so much to your videos!!!
For every 2/3 C raw rice I add 1 tsp of dried red n green peppers. Delicious.
💚 Last year I saw several people making a Green Tomato Curry. I really wanted to try it, but by the time I got the various spices gathered, most of my green tomatoes had ripened and I didn't get to try it. This year we mainly have cherry tomatoes and I doubt there'll be enough to make anything. But that's a green tomato idea for you! Green Tomato Bread..sounds very interesting 🤔 Thanks Chelsea! 💚
The Daring Gourmet has an AMAZING marinara sauce
I am loving the kale and the spinach! I made up a bunch of different meat and vegetable soups in pint jars (it is only me here). When I pop one open, I grab a handful of kale or spinach and toss it into my soup as it is heating up, and yay!! More veggies into my body!!! Thrive Life is the best!!! Thank you, Leisa!!!
Sorry, this was supposed to be for Leisa at Suttons Daze, the video I was watching just before it switched over to yours. I try and watch both yours and hers as they pop up on my phone.
My daughter taste soap too with cilantro. I enjoyed your canning day it's relaxing for me and hard work for you. 😃
Tomato jam is delicious! My favorite recipe is from Marissa at Food in Jars. I put it over chicken thighs in the crockpot, cook all day and then shred and serve over rice. We call it " change your life chicken" because when I figured out I could use tomato jam for this it changed my life!
Hi Chelsea. I found you channel last week and I am inspired and addicted to it!! I need the recipes that go with what your cooking! I have an abundance of green tomatoes and by goodness I’m gonna go for it and can them in many way. The green tomato bread I am sure my husband will love!! Thank you for inspiring me to continue canning this season. It’s so much work but looks great in the pantry!! ❤❤❤
Have you ever made a tomato preserve? My mother inlaw made it all the time. my husband couldn't get enough of it.. 2 1/2 lb (3 cup) prepared tomato
1 box powdered pectin like Sure-Jell
1 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
4 1/2 cup sugar
Use a 6-8 quart sauce pan. Scald, peel and chop tomatoes and simmer 10 minutes. Measure, and you should have 3 cups. Add lemon rind, lemon juice, allspice, cinnamon, cloves and Sure-Jell. Cook over high heat until mixture comes to a hard boil. At once add sugar, bring to a full rolling boil, a boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, skim off foam with metal spoon. Ladle into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch space at top, and process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes or follow Sure-Jell instructions. Store in cool place.
Left over roast beef in sandwiches with tomato jam is delicious.
You should took into making chow chow. It’s a relish made with green tomatoes, peppers, onion, and cabbage. It’s a clean out the garden staple recipe here in the South. And it’s used to add some flavor to a lot of those brown winter foods (mostly on top of soupy beans like pintos or black eyed peas) and also like you would use any relish such as hot dogs, burgers, on barbecue sandwiches, in salads like chicken or egg salad, and I also like it on fish. It’s got more of a zippy green tomato tang than regular relish. Some people add more or less sugar and spice levels vary as well. But it always contains a healthy dose of white vinegar which makes it good for canning.
@16:50 I get why they think it's like soap .... I love fresh Cilantro in my South West cooking !
Recipe -- Green Tomato Chutney. I found this fabulous recipe on the UA-cam channel "Lovely Greens". We did the recipe using our green tomatoes and it was so good. We decided to go to our farmers market and ordered a 1/2 bushel of green tomatoes to make more.
Your enthusiasm makes me want to try some of your recipes. Love the channel. X
Minestrone base soup... choped , tomatoe, celeri, oinion, carrott, zuccini. in a big stock pot . whitout spices only salt. pressure canned 40 miin; when you serv.. add to beef broth with fennel seeds and beans and noodle
Yeah, you’re trying the Green Tomato Bread. I have many loaves in the freezer with all sorts of add ins. Diced apples and pecans are one of our favorites.
I made and canned rotel tomatoes for the first time this year and it tastes just like the store bought...only better. We eat a lot if rotel cheese dip so that was a very useful thing for me to can😃
same. I love it!
Thanks for the reminder that I have a bunch of tomatoes to bring in. And the ideas for the green ones that the deer knocked off. 🙄
I think you should peel green tomatoes because of the higher amount of solanin in the peel of unripe tomatoes. Since solanine is heat-resistant, it is not destroyed when canning green tomatoes.
Green tomato jelly
Tomato jam is my favorite. My Mom use to make it every year! Her grandmother (who was born in Germany in 1850) told her that the foam that formed on the top of tomatoes as you were simmering them had to be skimmed off because it was poisonous. Maybe the possibility of botulism on the skins had something to do with assuming the foam was poisonous.
Cilantro sidenote: my husband hates it and I love it...it has everything to do with genes😉
Lots of goodies! I hope you rest a bit as well! Blessings 💕🤗💕
When I had lots of green tomatoes a couple years ago I canned them and also made green tomatoes mincemeat - super delicious 😀
Here’s the recipe from the Sure Jell box! ( my only suggestion is cut WAY back on the cloves. )
SPICED TOMATO JAM
Ingredients
3 cups prepared tomatoes (prepare about 2 1/4 pounds tomatoes)
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 3/4 ounces dry pectin (sure jell)
Steps:
To Prepare Tomatoes - Wash firm ripe tomatoes. Scald, peel, and chop tomatoes. Place chopped tomatoes in saucepan and heat slowly to simmering, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning. Cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Measure 3 cups of the cooked tomatoes into a large saucepan. Add lemon rind, allspice, cinnamon and cloves.
To Make Jam - Sterilize canning jars. Add lemon juice to the prepared tomatoes in the saucepan. Measure sugar and set aside. Stir powdered pectin into prepared tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. At once, stir in sugar. Stir and bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Then boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat. Skim off foam. Pour hot jam into hot jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; adjust two-piece metal canning lids. Process in a Boiling Water Canner for 5 minutes (10 if your elevation is 1,001 - 6,000 feet and 15 for over 6000).
Tomato Jam! We love it here in the South! Wonderful with grilled cheese and BLT sandwiches! 🥰
Oh that sounds wonderful
The tomato jam I've ever had was sweet but watching Chelsea adding spices it sounds yummy!
I have a friend who has the same problem with cilantro. I substitute parsley in its stead. Love the videos. I am also in zone 3 and hearing about your garden and canning helps me with mine and gives me ideas.
Had wondered lately about why cilantro tastes soapy to me. Makes sense as certain genes have similar effects to asparagus.
I find dead green tomatos ripen. I put them in boxes and try to always keep a couple of ripening ones in with the very greenest ones and they give off a gas which gradually ripens them. They just take some extra time.
I like this video because you share great tip for garden and food
Like your white appliances 😊
Chelsea, if you watch PastaGrannies (yes, it's a treasure of a channel/highly recommend) processing tomato passata the grannies don't seem to be worried about bacteria. That being said, their cooking environments and materials appear spotlessly clean. 🍅 I bet the green tomato bread would be delicious with cream cheese.
We love Pasta Grannies!
Wow Chelsea those relishes looks so young I could imagine them on pumpkin bread would be yum or olive bread
Came straight from Becky's video when I saw you uploaded!
My goodness what a wonderful prolific abundance of tomatoes!! Lovely lovely. Have fun!
I made 60 quarts of curry sauce with my tomatoes this year!
Good Morning Chelsea, I wanted to have you send me some of your Green Tomatoes! Shucks! In the South, the area of Georgia, The Carolinas, Virginia, etc., it is an awesome treat. You can slice them up about 1/4inch slices. Dip them on cornmeal then a Pancake type batter of your choice and fry in a skillet till slightly softened. I like to put Garlic and onion powder in with the Cornmeal along with some Salt & Pepper. It only takes about 5-7 minutes to make a batch of the treats. You can also deep fry if you’d like. Top them after draining on paper towels then add some sour cream. Trust me, this is so good! Works great as a side dish. The cornmeal make it nice and crispy!
You can always make a tomato soup, with a chicken soup base. That's something my family usually makes (though the Polish style chicken soup, Rosół). And when we make the tomato soup we have it with rice, usually. But for long-term storing, I wouldn't recommend adding the rice in unless you want a rice stew rather than a soup, lol.
Be sure the KitchenAid states that it includes DICING KIT. Pretty sure it only comes with the big momma 13 cup. And I love my Dicing Kit!
We can’t seem to get the big versions here in the UK, but I got the food processor attachment for my kitchen aid stand mixer and that does have the dicing blades and I could not be happier! It’s incredible & I highly recommend it especially if you have a lot of produce to chop and preserve! Amazing ☺️
@@sarahtrew9331I totally forgot that attachment. Glad you were able to get it.
I've said this before...but thank you once again for being so faithful posting videos.☺️
Thank you so much!
It’s funny I love cilantro, my brother said it tastes like soap and refused to eat it growing up. My mother and I can’t eat fresh ginger because it tastes like soap to us, yet my brother eats it on everything. Genes are an interesting thing.
I have been making sloppy joes sauce the past few years with all the abundance of tomatoes. I really like the canning granny’s recipe. There are two of those ladies with the same name so hopefully you will find the correct one!
One of my neighbors had bushels of green tomatoes and she stored them on racks in her basement/cellar and when she wanted to ripen them she put them in paper bags or wrapped in newspaper, tasted just like they came off the vine…she did this until almost February. Not sure if this would work for you…
What about slicing up some of the green tomatoes, vacuum seal them and put them in the freezer…just in case you want to make some fried green tomatoes ! It’s a southern thing…😂
Your videos are wonderful! I'm amazed at what you accomplish! Your family is so blessed! We canned a tomato onion conserve last year, like a tomato jam, I assume. It was better in late winter than at first. I guess it needed time to enhance the flavor. If you'd like the recipe i would be happy to send it. The best part was the caramelized onions mixed with the sun gold cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Mmmmm! 😊 God bless you!
Thanks for all the information you share...I really appreciate your videos!
We enjoy cilantro, but when you do make some thing with fresh cilantro, and someone does not like it, we substitute fresh parsley. Not exactly to staysame but it will do.
Do you all find on watching these videos that when Chelsea says she needs cinnamon for instance, I'm going it's over in that cupboard. I'm sure I could cook quite easily in Chelsea's and Becky's kitchens as I know where all the stuff is.😂
Canned diced tomatoes is great.
@Chelsea did you know that you can change your freeze dryer to a five tray one now, Beccy did hers the other day.
I made green tomato sweet and dill relish this year. A re pie for the bread would be great. Also I have tons of little summer squash, which is like zucchini, but would love some recipes on how tongues them.
Freeze dried tomatoes ❤
Great tip about the prep work. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that when you did your kitchen overhaul I thought a nice decoration for your shelf would be your new favourite measuring cup. Since you use it so frequently it will never get greasy and when you’re not using it, it will look beautiful there! ❤👍
I used to dislike cilantro and thought it tastes like soap too. But, it's in so many dishes that I love that I just kept trying it, adding it into things and exposing myself to it. Over time I have grown to love it it and I miss it in fresh salsa if its not there. Same thing happened to my wife. One day she said..why do we like this now? 🤷♀️ I said, maybe we grew up? 😂 As they get older their taste may change. But, it's ok not to like it. Lol
Cilantro tasted like soap to me my entire life, even through my first 2 pregnancies. Now, after my 3rd, it doesn't anymore and I love it.
Ive never heard of tomatoe jam .... everything you make is delicious ...❤❤❤❤😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
If you have any green tomatoes leftover, I can send you my Dad's favorite recipe for green tomato pie. I'd be happy to share it with you. :) Your green tomato jam reminds me of the red pepper jelly that we love. We use it on cracker, spread with a little bit of cream cheese, topped with the jelly. SO good!!! Thank you for all of your videos-love learning from you!
Hi, I noticed one or more kitties saunter past your sliding glass door in this video after you mentioned your strong onions set outside. There are many things that are very toxic to cats, and that includes onions, garlic, and most bulb plants such as lilies, irises, etc. Love your videos!
Made the salsa Verde last year!! So good!!! I mix it with cream cheese and make chicken enchiladas with it!!! Big hit with my husband!!
Oh my goodness I love you and your videos!! I look forward to them! Thank you so much. ❤️
