My mom is from Mississippi so she makes her greens with smoked meat. She will boil smoked ham hock, smoked turkey legs/wings, or smoked pork neckbones in water and pepper. Once the meat starts to get a little tender drop your greens in with a diced onion. Season with seasoning salt or regular salt (if needed), onion powder, a little garlic powder. Once greens are almost done add a can or fresh bunch of spinach & cook until done, remove bones from the meat and enjoy!
substitute bacon grease for butter!!!!
When we lived in Germany, our friend had a huge, bush like plant. We asked my landlord what it was. It was celery. Her landlady would cut off what celery staljs she needed and left the rest of the plant. If froze back every year but would come back bigg the next spring.
Yeah, eat the babies!!!!
You can water bath can your green tomatoes to have fried/baked green tomatoes later or make chow chow. It's wonderful with beans!
One of my favorite winter soups is ham, cabbage and potato soup. It's just ham hocks or a meaty ham bone cooked with cabbage potatoes and onion, seasoned generously with salt and pepper. You could easily sub collard greens for the cabbage. Just add a tiny amount of sugar or honey (a teaspoon or two) if needed to offset any bitterness.
what do you do with all the stuff you chop off and don’t appear to use? do you feed it to animals?
Beautiful garden, How do you keep the cabbage moths/worms under control
Hey Chelsea….you got lots of smoke there today? It’s been socked in here for a few days now. Anyways I think Rachel at 1870 s did a video a year or two ago about canning collard greens. I will see if I an find it for you. Great video. Thanks 🌷🇨🇦
Iam a new subscriber from the UK, May I ask, how long did you put your dilly beans and dill pickles in your Water Bath, I understand that you steam canned some, but I thought you said you would talk us through the process of putting them in your water canner.
Love, ❤️, your videos, Thank you x
Your abundance from your garden makes my Heart Sing! I love, love, love watching you prepare for canning/freezing. So happy to hear the peppers are starting to grow/produce!!
Amazing garden I love that
Your sheep were so curious!💜
The Music is very nice while you were picking tomatoes
Really enjoy watching you working so efficiently. I've never canned but I do make dilled pickles in the summer time. I just set the jars out on the sun and in about 2 days they are done here in Florida. I love freeze dried fruits. As for canning, I have always felt that 1/2 of the nutrition gets lost in the cooking process.
When I was a kid, my southern grandma used to make collard greens with ham hocks. Delicious.
Alabama here! Sauté onion and chopped bacon in a large pan. Deglaze with your favorite vinegar and a splash of broth. Add your greens and simmer for about 15-20 minutes lid on. Serve this along with cornbread (not sweet) and some pinto beans for a meal on New Year’s Day! This will bring you luck for the year!😘.
Love this. Respect
Hermosa huerta!! te felicito!! Bendiciones!!
I have never attempted celery before , do you direct sow or start indoors ,
We make bubble and squeak with collared greens 🙂
I keep on waiting for you to get surprised by a mouse or a snake! How many snakes are there in your area?
Make a ravioli with the collards or make a fried wanton stuffed with collard greens with a Alfredo and spicy sausage sauce-yum!
I can my celery and it turns out wonderful. I have people who will not eat celery but enjoy the canned ones.
The southern way is to take a smoked meat usually to call it Hawks which is the lower part of the leg and it smoked real well and put them up with the Hawks in there but the men and then boil them until they're tender and really done like you would have spinach then you can eat them like that a lot of the southern people use red pepper flakes in them and things like that as well to give him a real good taste it always with a smoked hock
living in the South and having a son who worked in a restaurant that serves the best in town…secret ingredient, to cook them in sweet tea instead of just plain water. Sweet tea is just black tea and sugar. that’s it. Chop fine and into the tea. Add some minced garlic too.
Steam canner on camp chef: maybe try a restrictor plate, or cast iron pan flipped over the flame and canner on top. The cast iron will conduct the heat but the flame will be diffused. I just used my camp chef for the first time because the power was out. All the pans I'll use on it are heavy bottom so I probably won't use it again, but it does work.
I cook collard greens with chopped onion sautéed in olive oil, add crushed garlic and a ham hock. Add some water and sautee till tender. So yummy!!❤
Wow!
Greens are good with bacon greese, a little sugar and vinegar. Equal amounts. Maybe 1 to 3 TBS per pot
Hello, Chelsea,why dont you change supper into a fresh mixed tomato salad with some ognon and basil ir canned tuna ir even homenade mozzarela?
Just sugestión s
Have you looked into the 5 tray upgrade to your freezer dryer?
I am struggling in zone 3b to grow brassicas that don’t get devoured by cabbage worms. You grow such beautiful cabbages, cauli and even Brussels sprouts. Can you tell us what you do to get such a huge harvest? Is it an insecticide, netting, or both? What kind of insecticide?
Your collard greens are beautiful. I like tossing frozen collard greens into quiches. And my grandmother used to make them cooked in red beans, so good.
I laughed so hard at the sheep photo bombing you. So cute!!
That is a TON of celery!! How do you like to use your freeze dried celery?
Yes the garden is a place of joy😊, I completely agree, that it's my happy place.
You can now upgrade your Freeze Dryer to 5 trays.
You could used a database like farmers do to understand growth rates and what is best when. You could probably make a show about it. Ask a professional to find out how.
I definitely think that you let the courgette grow too big so it stopped production ❤
That was the most bueatiful celery! I use alot of celery. One year before Thanksgiving, a Dollar store had celery 3 for 1.00. I bought 12 bunches and ran it through by food processor and them froze it. Haven't seen anything like that since! Darn.
😃
What is your favorite way of cooking the collard greens? I cook them in water low and slow with a lil apple cider vinegar some red pepper flakes some pigs feet or smoked turkey leg with a onion once it’s all cooked together for a few hours if made with pigs feet eat as is ( if yiu don’t eat pigs feet take them out) if you make it with smoked turkey legs eat as is take the meat off the bones to eat with the greens both ways delicious 😋
What a beautiful harvest! My grandmother & great aunt had huge gardens every year along with fruit trees. The best food I've ever eaten. As a child you don't appreciate all the work that goes into all the jams, sauces, beans, etc. I wish I'd paid more attention as a child ❤. Many summer days when visiting we'd all be sitting on the porch shelling beans & peas. Great memories
Do you reuse your ziplock bags?
❤❤❤🎉
i would have kept the stems of the collard greens and chopped them small, freeze and then add to soups.
Is the taste differ from out side to high tower?
Collard Greens I cook my collard in broth Olive oil onion garlic. But the country way is smoked pork or smoked turkey tail cooked down tender First. Then add your Greens a little vinegar red pepper flakes. Cooked down until soft. ❤
I’m watching several of your episodes while I’m canning beets. We only live on .10 acre corner lot but…. We have 10 raised beds. No root cellar but grateful & thankful for a basement. Thank you so much for your videos and keeping me company while I’m putting up my harvest. – North Eastern Pennsylvania
