I live right outside of Wasilla and this popped up on my youtube channel! I didn't know the farmers market was still going on! Might have to swing by this week!
That’s wonderful! Thank you for hanging out.
@@modernhomesteadalaska Yeah! I love local youtube! Especially Alaskan!
Well, hope to see your mom again soon! When I soak and dehydrate different varieties of grains at the same time I use a dry erase marker on the jars and the sides of my dehydrator trays to keep them straight. I learned the hard way that “I’ll remember” is a lie I like to tell myself. 😂 Maybe you could use a post it note on the front of your dehydrator door.
Yes!!! I was wondering should I label or post it or how in the world great idea!!! It’s happening now!
I made up some homemade rice mixes like,rice a roni, did some dry muffin mixes , gravy mixes, brownie mixes, Swiss Mocha Coffee Mix. It just saves a little time having them already made up and in my pantry. It also saves money because I'm not having to buy all of these things at the store. The more we can make ourselves the less we have to buy.
Exactly gray job! That’s such a great way to do things
Your Momma has been a great blessing and gave blessings that food haul was awesome
Thank you it was amazing I’m still working on it!
@@modernhomesteadalaska it takes a lot of time and a little moving stuff around to fit us, first time might not work. I like how moms hooked up the attachment , we learn better from seeing it done
I absolutely love love love your shelves in the kitchen! 🌹
Thank you a local guy mills them the two long ones came off the same tree.
@@modernhomesteadalaska there sure are some talented craftsman in Alaska
I would have thought that beautiful round ball that was absolutely gorgeous
Oh it was an honest debate. If it’s there next Wednesday it might happen.
Learned alot of stuff, new kind of zucchini, about vacuum sealing ect😊
Thank you, I had no idea that I should soak my grains, going to look into that. HA I love funnel cakes that looked delicious. Today, I am getting prepped for a busy canning weekend, got 100lbs of tomatoes to work with so chili, sauces and salsa weekend. Tell your Mom we are going to miss seeing her and safe travels.
Wow 100lbs that is amazing!! I recently bought some tomatoes at a little stand at a house. Best tomatoes I ever had. No clue what kind they are as the stand is just you pick and put the money in a jar.
Wow!!! I need 100 pounds of tomatoes! You have got some work ahead of you! Keep up the amazing preparation!
Amazing!!!
I don’t have a food saver or vacuum sealer yet but I keep dried apricots and mango and other dried fruit just in jars with lids. I normally go thru them within a year and never had a issue with them drying out. Great video…cheers 🇨🇦🌷
Perfect thank you I do the exact same.
Hi from Missouri! That cutting board was absolutely gorgeous. A thing of beauty.
Hello Janet
Hello Missouri! The state I grew up in! I agree. Quite the crafts man.
Hello William.
The new board would make a terrific charcuterie server. I put up 5 pints of beef for BBQ sandwiches later, a tray of seasoned, roasted tomatoes for the freezer to eat later on sourdough discard flat bread layered with cream cheese. So yummy. Then I made a big pot of tomato, beef, rice for stuffing green peppers. I'm freezing the left overs for my lunches later and the remaining filling will be frozen for taco later. It was a good day! Tomorrow I will can the mushrooms I just finished prepping. They are so easy to can and so useful.
Wow that’s a long day! Way to go! I agree on the board I want todo some super beautiful dinners. That’s a great way to use it!
Hi from Marion, Arkansas!! Just subscribed to your channel. Love it!
Hello Arkansa! We spent a great deal of time in your state growing up.
I’m so glad you & your mother had such a great time together! I hope she can come back soon- I’ve enjoyed your vlogs working together!! I pray she has a safe travel home. Blessings! 💜
Hello Marilyn
Thank you that’s beautiful! I honestly appreciate the kindness.
I had reindeer sausage in Denali while I was on a Land/sea cruise. It was yummy!
Oh yeah that’s amazing
Glad your mom figured out the vacuum sealer however, point of caution. Once sealed you should not store with the ring on. Lids have been known to pop and you would have no idea because the ring will be holding it place. Learned the hard way -lost some but not a lot of storage because of it.
Thank you for letting me know much appreciated.
OK...did your Mom like the reindeer sausage? Just curious! What a great help and wealth of knowledge your Mom is! I know you are so happy she was able to help you in your quests for storage! Now I know where you got your FIERCE from...lol! Hugs and blessings!
Thank you beautiful friend. She loved it! It’s a unique flavor.
That's what I was wondering too. Glad she loved it!
I have three boxes of tomatoes coming and cutting up the 15 chickens I butchered the day before. Thank for inspiring me
Wow that is crazy amount. Way to go Sarah you are a hard working woman.
Those wood boards and bowls were beautiful! :)
Oh my goodness. Girl I only paid $60 for the board snd I didn’t ask for a discount! What in the world! How you walk away from a deal like that I don’t know!
Great video!
Goodness thank you so much.
You are so blessed yourself Mom is so helpful. God bless you all Watching from northern central West Virginia
Hello again! Thank you for always being so kind!
Great video 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
very cool you're soaking your grains... Weston A. Price Foundation is a wealth of information on traditional foods! yay you!!! it's been so nice seeing your Mom in your videos - we're all gonna miss her - time flew by! ❤ (ETA: I harvested a few things from my garden today and am fermenting salsa for the first time! also made more ice cream LOL)
Oh my goodness I’m about to start I pulled tomatoes today to do salsa Too! Thank you so much very kind!
You can use a break bleeder to take the air out of those jars in a pinch.
Yes I do remember that. Thank you fir sharing.
Love the beautiful cutting board
Thanks so much 😊!
I had the same issue with the jar lid and hose not working with my food saver. That is why I ended up with the brake bleeder. Maybe I need to fiddle with it again. 🤪
lol I seriously would have taken it back!!! But my mom worked through it.
Sometimes you have to just treat yourself! LOL
Exactly! We work hard and earned it!
@@modernhomesteadalaska Exactly sis, we have to cherish all of it!
Dehydrate the pears until they are dry, rehydrate in warm water, or powder the pears.
Great idea. Thank you.
If there's moisture do NOT vacuum seal it. The moisture allows botulism when all of the air is taken out. Love that your mom knows her stuff about food preserving.
Yes thank you! Great information. We all learn from each other!
Thanks Jessica and I would Re-Dehydrate your fruit that you brought from the farmers market and then I think it would be safe for you to do what you wanna do 9-12-2022😊., I have been doing New Things a Bread Machine-Dehydrator a Insta pot a crockpot a air fryer things I’ve never done before I’m trying to get better and do better. I have a Heavy Cutting board with 4 legs that Suction to the Counter sometimes if my Rhematoid Arthritis is doing good I can pick it up., I am from Southern NJ live in a Senior Complex it’s Only 50 Apartments in here., Thanks For the love & Sending some your way😘😘
Thank you.
You can always use a brake pump Ck out Rain Country Heidi tells you how to use and it saves you money
Yes we were just saying that yesterday! I totally forgot about that! And I too love @Rain Country!
Find out if the Artisan who made your cutting board will sell to the lower 48 states. Bye Mom!
I think he would here is his co tact information. John Glenn with John’s Woodcrafts 907-354-4441
Thank you! I was thinking that as well.
@@modernhomesteadalaska Thank you!!!!
Jalapeno salt! That sounds amazing. Hope you share :) always wished I was crafty.
Oh it’s yummy! And spicy!
Hi! I'm moving to wasilla on September 16th and I'm so happy watching your videos right now! Your home build looks like ours so maybe we will cross paths in the future
You just never know but if you do see me say hello! Let me be the first to say WELCOME!!!
Hi, i'am a new subscriber. I like love your kitchen! I'am from the State of Maine.
Thank you so much! Hello in Maine.
Hello from Maine! Just found you on You tube. We canned green beans today. I say we, my husband helped me, I broke my arm a few weeks ago and just in time for canning season. 😝 But we will get through this. The garden is abundant and I’m thankful.
Way to go! I say me on my garden but my husband reminds me he watered it for a month while I was gone. lol
You can use a manual brake bleeder to use on your jars to get the oxygen out of thr jars. You may have to use both hands to hang on to the hose to the jar while you hand pump the brake bleeder. You can use it as a back up if you food saver doesn't work right on your jars.
That’s a great idea I should get one!
I will miss your mom too! So happy for you that she had the time and ability to visit! I applaud you that your garden did so well. The first couple of years are always a struggle, but you will persevere! Do let us know how your round zucchini cooks up and tastes! Until tomorrow! ❤️Momma G
Oh yeah I’m excited! Thank you so much! See you soon,
Is that the vacuum sealer from Costco? I went through two of them using the cups for removing oxygen and the nosel kept snapping off in the hole of the machine. I ended up ordering another food savor model FM 2100 not had a problem since, it came with it's own cups and hoses too. The old cups and hoses didn't fit this new machine. I have to use a seperate lid with the small cup to seal not sure why but it works. I hope your machine from Costco works for you. Dried fruit is not the same as dehydrated fruit, I would dehydrate or freeze dry the dried fruit for longer storage. I made crockpot candy for my grand children ( 5, 11, 11, 17, 21, 22) and pulled my hair out with my freeze drier is not working😐not productive as I like to be. Was very nice of you to share your time with your mom and the different adventures you both went on. Come back Jessica's mom and visit again like Xmas🤗for sure summer become a snow bird.
It is that sealer. That’s good to know. I love crockpot candy! I hope she returns soon.
Your cutting board is so beautiful...I wouldn't want to use it!! Don't y ou just LOVE the food saver? I do.....and I am teaching one of my daughters how to use it. Not sure about the pears..... YOur pantry is so beautiful.......and, the zucchini (round) looked funny...How did it taste? Hugs, Bev in Maine
Oh so yummy just like normal zucchini
For ~ $15 there is a jar sealer that works independently from a seal a meal... it's rechargeable and works great 👍
Thank you I’ll check it out
I had to do the very same thing for my jar vacuum hose and attachment. 🙄 I’m curious to see how sprouting your grains works out. I’ve been thinking about doing that too. I know you are sad to see your mom go home. Hope she’s able to come back very soon! I’m off to pick up my Azure order. Looking forward to the next video.
I sprout grains for my parakeets. It is easy after you get the hang of it. :)
Yeah Azure! I’m sure whatever it is you have some work todo when you get home! Thank you fir being around and the kind words.
I;m checking on my orders of Alaska Reincane Vodka/ Madagascar vanilla beans, bottles for the making of my vanilla extract, Special recipes i will be making for peach BBQ sauce, with Hennessey , a lot of Planning - special smoked cheeses from Cheese Brothers in Wisconsin
Oh my that seriously sounds amazing! Keep me posted on how it all turns out!
@@modernhomesteadalaska of course! They say Reincane is made from filtered 3 times alaskan water and sugar cane
Hello! We are in Alaska as well with a farm with livestock:)
Oh that’s wonderful! Keep in touch you just never know!
@@modernhomesteadalaska always good to make neighbors:)
Do you condition your dehydrated goods before vacuum sealing? It is recommended that you put in jar with lid then wait a week and watch for condensation on your jar. If no condensation then vacuum seal jar
I had no idea about this! Thank you I’m doing the research now!
Hello from Littlefield AZ☺
Hello
@@modernhomesteadalaska Good morning, I hope your day's are filled with as much inspiration as you hope for all of us. 🌹
So you motivated my to try fermented pickles. I did slices instead of whole. How long did you go on yours before you knew there were done? Love the channel! Have learned so much about food preservation with this challenge you have been doing!
Oh wow I’m so happy to have helped in any way. The time is depended on a ton of things. I look forward the liquid to turn cloudy and a few days later starts to turn clear again. When it starts to clear it’s done. But you can go longer for stronger flavor.
About 5 days.
Hey there I would love to know what kind of dehydrator that is?
Ah! Your mother explained why you got that chamber sealer 👍🏻 So ignore my question under one of your earlier video's
To be honest they are both new and I might end up liking one over the other but I’ll keep you posted.
that wood looks like Brazilian redwood. not sure what other woods are in cutting board and didn't hear you say. you did say he told you, but i missed it somehow.
I forgot what all he said. I can ask Wednesday. Thank you fir hanging out.
oh, thats okay... no worries on the kind of wood. i have a friend who use to live in homer. i started watching a channel with a lady and her dog living off grid. ill have to look up the name. its new this year and her journey has been fun to watch.
alone in remote alaska is the channel
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 oh that’s wonderful. It’s an exciting place to make things happen.
have soaked grains, dehydrated, and ground for flour.. In video you added vinegar to the solution for soaking. I have always soaked and rinsed using only water. Is there an advantage to adding the vinegar?
Vinegar is supposed to break due the coating that upsets the gut.
I can tell you this though really not supposed to be on weed at all but I wonder if I were to have done this and eat something then get a blood test what that result would be. Cuz I have an autoimmune disease called lupus it's SLE and I can be honest with you I wish I never had it but I am blessed to be able to still do what I can do but anyhow I wonder what the results would be
I’m sorry you have such a struggle. I’m so happy you are still able todo what you can.
Running a dehydrator for eight hours must use a lot of electricity!
Sure but not as much as our freeze dryer.
And how do you guys afford to live in Alaska like that the reason why I'm asking is because I would like to do that as well
Well Alaska is full of folks from all walks and financial backgrounds. It’s a state where if you want to make it you can and will.
no super new but Lil bit new lol I live in laughlin nv.
That’s ok thank you for watching!
I am sad that your mom is going home so soon 😢.
Me too!!! Tears all around!
Oh my you young people worry so much about what you put into your bodies I am 82 very healthy for my age and we didn't follow organic or anything they push now. My mom is 99 still living and my dad passed at 94. There is lots of money in pushing all these things. My cousin milks over 100 cows and found if he claimed an organic dairy he made twice as much profit.
Sounds like you hit the healthy gene pool! I’m happy you are doing so well and still have your mom what a great blessing that is.
