Cooking & Canning

Welcome to my channel. Energize your morning with this all natural protein drink. Mix a tsp of honey with some warm water to dissolve, add cinnamon to taste up to ½ tsp or more if you’re brave, ½ a squeezed lemon & 1 Tbsp of olive oil; When you shop for your oil, try to find a nice light tasting all-olive oil olive oil – don't use anything but pure olive oil. Blend or mix and drink. I get that in my belly before my daily stretches and exercises.

Welcome to my 2nd cooking video. This is my French Toast recipe with fried bannanas and applesauce. Egg mix includes vanilla extract, cardamom, clove, nutmeg & cinnamon with water or milk/cream. Great for a meal or for desert.

Nothing beats homemade bread, esp with all the crap they put in the store bought stuff. This is easy bread. Mix, let it sit 16 to 24 hours, bake for 1/2 hr & done. No kneading, just flour, yeast, water and salt. You'll need a greased bowl & a Dutch Oven pot. Pre-heat the pot at 450 Fahrenheit for 1/2 hr, bake the bread for 20 min with the lid on & 10 min with it off...ish. All depends on your oven & pot & you'll figure out what works best as you make it regularly. Enjoy!

Welcome to my channel. BBQ Corn on the Cob is simple. I soak it, but if it’s freshly picked, there should be enough moisture to cook the cob without soaking it. ‘sup to you. BBQ for 15 to 25 min depending on your Barbee. Bring it down to the last few leaves on the cob near the end if you like a little charred corn. Take all the leaves off to quickly burn off those pesky strings when its done. Or leave it wrapped up to stay warm longer or to keep to eat that sweet corn cold off the cob as a snack.

I was just going to make supper and I figured, let’s try this periscope thing on X. The only thing I don’t like is the picture quality is low and I can’t record on my phone at the same time as broadcasting. Anyway, just the ongoing Far-Left BS destroying Canada as I cook.

In these times of soaring food prices and the near impossible price for meat, you can still make a decent meal with any meat on a bone. I've even used pork neck bones. This will work on the poorest, toughest cuts to break them down in a simmer, making them flavourful with herbs and spices of your choice.

Welcome. This is literally my second breakfast that I eat after drinking my 1st Breakfast. Boiled eggs don’t have to be bland. This is how I have them. Make sure what you consume is compatible with anything else you’re putting in your body. Optimal Benefits: This version includes turmeric, which contains curcumin, a strong anti-inflammatory with antioxidant properties. Inflammation is to be avoided, Esp for cardiovascular health. Curcumin can help relax blood vessels for healthy blood. The compounds curcumin and peperine’s bioavailability effectiveness are enhanced when mixed. And of course, the boiled water never goes to waste during the growing season. Please join me in the garden.

Welcome. The first Bird Shit Berry Bush batch of 2025 has been completed. By 22 Jun last year I had already made 2 batches of jam; seemingly a testament to this season’s cool start, which would also explain the slow start on my other garden vegetables as well. Here’s the skinny: Ingredients: Berries & 1 Tbsp-ish of lemon juice per lb. Soak the berries no more than 15 minutes to wash the fruit with limited agitation – you just want the grit to fall to the bottom and the bugs and leaves to float to the top. Secret Ingredient – Pectin: Jam needs pectin to set. Berries, like these which seem to be like wild blackberries, have more pectin in them prior to ripening. These berries ripen so fast during the day I have to pick them every 12 hrs, so I get a healthy medium of mostly ripened vs actually ripened, which makes for great natural pectin levels; levels which are then activated by using lemon juice near the end of the jam processing. You can make your own pectin by cooking down apples or just including them in your jam/compote/butter spread you intend to can. When we get our hands on apples in the fall we’ll make another batch of pectin for the following year’s canning like we did last year. Sugar: The more sugar you use, the longer it will preserve, but how much sugar do you really want to consume. I will at times use maple syrup, I’ve used honey and sugar. Recipes often call for a near 1::1. I use less. The trick is to toss your berries in the sweet stuff and let it macerate for at least 15 minutes or overnight; this will extract the fruit’s juices and soften the texture, which is needed for some of these smaller tough & very seedy berries. Jars: Clean, inspect, heat in oven at 250 to 275F (more than that is not recommended for jar integrity) for 10 minutes. Lids & Rings: Prep the lids in warm mildly soapy water for a quick rinse and install on the jar post filling. Don’t use rusty rings, throw them out. Finger tight upon canning; remove after 24 hrs, dry, inspect and reuse if serviceable. Tools: Pot with a thick bottom to hold the heat, stir spoon/paddle, canning funnel, ladle, paper towel & vinegar for the jar’s rim job, magnetic lid holder, oven gloves and the MUST HAVE – a Caning Jar Lifter. It takes 20 minutes to make and can the jam for processing, less time if you’re cooking with gas. Coordinate the jars, the lids, the jam processing and be safe! The jam is hot and the splatter will burn your skin. The jars are super hot and will retain their heat so take head how soon from heating to 250-275F to when you put the jam in. You don’t want to hear the jam sizzling as it is poured into the jars, just delay a few moments until that doesn’t happen during the pour. It takes more time to prep than it does to process for canning, unless you’re fermenting. But if you do it on a regular basis, you may find yourself in comfort knowing that you can deal with a sudden gift of a large amount of fruit and preserve it for extended use and benefit to your body’s every day need for fuel.
