I recently told my mum all about 'Nyssa', her response was "who is Nyssa?". I said "she's my friend up in Queensland, she teaches me so much", my mum thought it was lovely. She doesn't have any understanding of youtube and also has dementia, so I didn't want to confuse her too much. But thanks so much Nyssa for you efforts with teaching and entertaining us, and keeping cheer up in what can sometimes be a heavy world. Bless you Tina
Naww! A lot of why I started youtube was for the potential community, the ability to bounce ideas of others and share things I enjoy without having to leave the house, I'm really glad that people have enjoyed and found use in what I am capable of sharing in my limited capacity! :D
I'm addicted to the channel. I absolutely love seeing what you are up to Nyssa with the food prep in your house. It's interesting to get a glimpse of how other people run their kitchens. I also love gardening, harvests, and preserving. You show such love and care in preparing all these from scratch meals for your family. I can see the love in the long hard days of work. I'm tired watching you cook :) and I KNOW you have many other mama duties as well. Hats off to you super mom. Blessings, -Kate
naww, ThankyoU! :D I'm so looking forward to garden season this year and sharing it all and using my sharing to help me to keep motivated to do even better!!
Good Evening Dear Nyssa!🌷 Oh how I loved watching the sweet little ones working the apples! Sonnet💗 is a lovely little girl, and soooo very helpful and amazingly capable with helping you. I loved watching her "slinky" the apples! I too, have one of those apple peelers, and I do know how challenging it can be to get that core off the end of the rod! Watching little Kavik "help her" with his "taste tasting" was a delight as well. 😊 Your children are lovely, and beautiful! Thank you for giving us a sweet little glance of them today, it was a delightful treat, I must say! Love and hugs, dear Nyssa!💗🌷😊 Carol
The apple pie filling still looked delicious! So did the bread! It's a great thing to see kids helping in kitchen, teaches them about the process of making food. God Bless!
It still tastes great and the kids still ate it! Just not pie filling, it no longer has pieces of apple in it hehe, it is almost like a butter! I love it when they want to help, even if it makes things take twice as long hehe
Watching your daughter help reminds me of my childhood. My mother used to tease and say they would weigh me when we left the berry patches so she knew what she owed. Eat one, put one in the basket. I love your page. Found you from a news article. Much love from an American in the Caribbean.
Heh, she definitely takes advantage of being a helper! When my mum was visiting once we were gathering veggies from the garden and I gave her the bush beans to hold, we got inside and I asked her for them and she just grinned at me! She’d eaten them all before we even got in the house lol! Welcome! :)
Your channel is such an inspiration - it’s lovely to see an Australian family living this way - most of the people on here are in the US. Have you thought about getting a steam juicer to help process those left over apple cores? That could then give you ‘free’ juice to add back into your Apple Pie filing recipes, and also cut down on your need for processed sugar in the recipe to make it cheaper. Plus I’m sure the kids would love a splash in some soda stream water in summer!
I have a steam juicer! I am very much looking forward to giving it a good workout with the new apples. Sometimes with the smaller batches I get a bit sidetracked while doing other things and struggle to juggle it, it requires so much supervision in my kitchen with the tubes and jars and kids! :). I will definitely be making plenty with the new lot though :). Thank you! :)
I love Sonnet's role as chief slinky operator, which involves regular quality control testing. I had a good day too. Granddaughter is 4 on Monday. We went into her favourite shop - Bunnings, and bought purple fruiting vegetables because purple is her favourite colour. We had KFC for lunch in the car while whale watching. We saw 2.
That sounds awesome, Sonnets favourite colour is purple as well, we always make sure to plant purple zinnias and I got chillis this year that go from yellow to purple to red before you pick them, she found that super exciting! :D. Purple carrots too! Paying in chunks of apple seems a pretty good deal to me! :D heh
Sonnet is a hard working girl, doing all those apples, making sure they're covered by water and happy to have Karvik helping her. The apple sauce looks delicious, put a plain cake mix on top of a jar and make a delicious pudding, freeze some yoghurt to make ice cream to have with it. Yummy 😋.
I was really surprised that she persevered for so long doing it for me! :D. So many uses for these apples, I will definitely have to look for a plain cake to put over the top! great idea, I don't have any bought cake mixes but I'm sure I could mix something up!
Great to see the children in the kitchen helping mum.The apple filling looked very nice.My word that bread is making my mouth water. Very nice video.Best wishes to everyone from🖐🇨🇦
The helpers always get the benefit of also getting to be taste testers! Your children are adorable. I wish I had your energy. Love seeing your videos. 👋 From Wisconsin!
Did the kids eat more apples than they cored? 😂 so good to see them munching away on fruit! I did the apple pie filling recently too, so yum! The bread looks so nice too!
It sure looks like they taste tested every apple they cored! lol! I can never get my bread to bounce up as much as I'd like, but it tastes darn good regardless! :D
I jumped at them, I just cannot afford the fancy ones, but they were on sale and then a further 25% off at Harris Scarfe I think, they are good quality too, lovely and sturdy, be great for stews! :D
I am always amazed that people don’t k ow what a sonnet is, because if someone questions the spelling I say ‘like a Shakespearean Sonnet, the poem’ and I still get blank looks sometimes.
@@marybeazley7741 It did, and I have to learn not to make comparison to people who focus only on their bread baking to get it perfect! I have far to much else going on :D
Sonnet was a great help there. This looks pretty much how my teeny, tiny🤣 apple preserving day went . Apples were constantly eaten , chickpea cookie dough dip was required and eventually we got some done. Lol. I ended up using a jar of apple/pear/mandarin juice id done last year and a jar of that runny apple peel syrup and cut the sugar in half. It tastes yummy. Thank you for sharing lovely 🤩
I love how simple this recipe and method is. I have been looking for a recipe and way to do it wothout the thickening gel, but have had no luck. It seems everyone uses it. When i make my pies fresh i use flour not cornstrach and they taste delicious. This would be my first time perserving the apple pie filling and im having such a hard time finding a simple old fashioned way i like
I really like the ability to use the apples in any way I want when I do them like this too! Like a crumble can have that extra moisture it doesn't even need to be thickened, a pie obviously can do with a little bit of thickening, but I have used it as toppings over Dutch Baby pancakes too, and with ice cream/custard, or in like cinnamon scroll type things, and because I didn't add anything when I canned it, it is useful in all those ways :D. and it doesn't take much effort to thicken it if I want to do that as well
I loved how you filled the apple coring and peeling. Sonnet by the end had a system going, she is on her way, perfect Sous Chef. Schucks about the bicarb mishap. Well you will figure out the perfect dish. Would it taste good in the puff pastry? Really enjoyed the editing and music. The kids really pitched in today
The apple has no texture to it, after the bicarb softening it and then the pressure canning, its all just pulp, super tasty pulp, but pulp none the less lol, I may use it as jam in a cake, or to sweeten our homemade yoghurt, maybe as a crumble/crisp but it won't be suitable for in pastry I don't think lol.
When you started pressure canning did you have a favourite book as a guideline? Pressure canning seems less scary now I’ve seen you do it so many times and I’m going to ask Santa for a pressure canner for Xmas.
I probably followed some youtubers the first time I did it to be honest! But I do like a couple of books that have some all in one recipes in them! amzn.to/3Sa556S amzn.to/3D1t9ED both of these are good! I tend to buy kindle editions because physical books are hard to keep here!
I'm catching up with all the previous videos and loving them. Can I ask why you rarely use dairy, is it dietry choices or due to allergies? Do you find making soap bars save you money ? I use shop shop bought soap and shampoo for environmental reasons. Take care. Xx
My kiddos and husband (other than Kavik) were all quite intensely allergic/intolerant to dairy as babies, some grew out of it somewhat, some didn't, some still react badly, so we find it easier just to not use it (other than my occasional sneaky lol). It just becomes the new normal and we get around it, I am grateful though that they all tolerate fermented dairy like yoghurt and milk kefir so long as they don't go overboard! The allergist suggested triallling it a while back and it went really well so now we have integrated it :D I don't know that it saves me money as such, the aldi goats milk soap that I can buy is pretty inexpensive and the organic shampoo and conditioner from coles is also fairly inexpensive, Sonnet and Darryl both have issues with SLS, they both get really bad eczema and roll on health issues (mouth ulcers if it is in toothpaste for eg) so we have to buy specific soaps to cater for that, so its kind of a way to control ingredients, but I also like to play with add ins, like the molasses oat ones have this lovely feel and smell to them! :D
Honestly, UA-cam and Facebook taught me a lot! then it was mostly trial and error within the equipment I had using approved recipes and going from there!
I answered the wrong comment there lol! Yes, will be fine for crumble/crisp, but the apple has absolutely no texture now, it is all just mush, totally edible, but definitley not pie filling!
My Fowlers Vacola I get from marketplace/gumtree generally! Ball Mason I don't buy much anymore, theyre too expensive and too hard to get. Lug lid jars are sold by a myriad of places but PackmyProducts isn't badly priced and their shipping is reasonable, or a Plasdene if you have one nearby!
@@OurSmallFootprint thankyou for the fast reply, where did u get your pressure cooker from too? Do u use the rack in the bottom of the pot that they are recommending to sit the jars on?
@@saleenahaffenden8292 I got my presto from ozfarmers and my buffalo I managed to find on marketplace! it was a very lucky score.

Hi I just found your channel and I am looking forward to watching your previous videos. I don't normally comment, but I also make some of my own dog food. I saw you put onions and garlic in your broth and as far as I know these are poisonous to dogs. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm telling you what to do, it is not the case. I am really enjoying your channel, so down to earth. I just thought to give you heads up. Please check, my info could be wrong or just over the top. Keep up the good work you are so inspiring.
Nyssa has addressed this point previously. Whilst onions and garlic are often stated to be poisonous for dogs, that’s only in quite large quantity - not the levels used in making stock in the way that she does - so there’s not actually an issue in her using what she does in making her dog food.
Hi! Welcome :). We try to pull the big chunks of onion out, but at the same time the toxicity levels of onion and garlic on dogs is quite high :) 100-150g of onion per kg of body weight and 30-35g of garlic per kg of body weight. We find garlic in lower amounts helps their coats and with flea control too :). The food is spread between 4 large 20 odd kg dogs so they are getting minimal per serve :)
I recently told my mum all about 'Nyssa', her response was "who is Nyssa?". I said "she's my friend up in Queensland, she teaches me so much", my mum thought it was lovely. She doesn't have any understanding of youtube and also has dementia, so I didn't want to confuse her too much. But thanks so much Nyssa for you efforts with teaching and entertaining us, and keeping cheer up in what can sometimes be a heavy world.
Bless you

They taste tested a bit of each apple I reckon as they were slinky'ing them lol! Fair payment for a job well done :D

It's great when she chooses to help!

I love watching it back when I'm editing, so I try and make sure to include it for those who might like to watch as well :D

I always feel lucky when they choose to help and I don’t have to bribe them heh.
Nothing beats homemade bread!
Sonnet is such a great helper - and your video, as always is very inspiring
I love when they choose to help :D
The way she very casually licked the spiralizer at the beginning to get a taste 😂 so much like our daughter!
Hehe if they're willing to help, I just gotta deal with their quirks of 'help' :D
The helpers always get the benefit of also getting to be taste testers! Your children are adorable. I wish I had your energy. Love seeing your videos. 👋 From Wisconsin!
I agree, the sampling of each apple is fair payment for their assistance ! :D
That was awesome. Thanks very much. Your life is fascinating.
Thankyou, It's just every day for us! :D
You are blessed to have such good help.
Yes I am!
Enjoyed watching your kids working in the kitchen. The canned apples looks delicious
I'm glad they still want to help for the moment! They taste divine, just not quite the right consistency heh.
I can hardly wait for your vlogs to come up.

It will be so great used as a chunky dessert sauce!
