Seed Collecting, Tools, Techniques & Tips

Basics tools needed to make the job of seed collection more efficient. Stainers of various sizes, bowls and platters are must have items. Make sure your seeds are dry before storing. Esp. the moist veggies. You don't want to think you have good seed stock only to find out later there is mold on them. Cucumber & tomato must be fermented in a glass jar w/ a small amount of water. Shake twice a day for 3-4 days. Put in strainer & rinse clean. Dry on paper plate in mild temp and dim light. Once you are sure they are dry, label the envelope with type & date. I make special notes if something out of the ordinary happened during the growing or collection phase. Happy Growing!

Dice Onion Step 2: In your frying pan, put approx 2tbsp olive oil in and coat the oil in the garlic powder (about 3tsp) Step 3: Add onions to olive oil, and sautee for about 5-6 mins - I added a little less than half a cup of water into the mixture so it wouldn't be sticky. I also add in about 1 tbsp of I can't believe it's not Butter. (Remember: Oil for cooking, butter for flavor!) Add in your tomatoes, and let simmer for approx 1-2 mins. Remove from heat. Step 4: In larger pot, have your water (and salt) ready for noodles. Start the boiling process. Step 5: Once you see your water has *almost* started to boil, it is time to start the alfredo sauce.

Making Mozzarella Cheese (and Transglutamacurd...?) - Part 1

WATCH IN HD! ***IMPORTANT NOTE: Some sections of this video are sped up due to time restrictions. They are sped up between 150 - 200%.*** In the following video you will see us making American-Style Mozzarella Cheese. American-Style means that it is the version of mozzarella most of us consider to be "pizza cheese," although it is much fresher and tastier! In addition to making a normal pot of mozzarella cheese we are going to do a transglutaminase experiment with cheese and the Activa YG for dairy applications. We are running side-by-side the exact same setup for making mozzarella cheese, although the red pot will also contain some transglutaminase. Based on my research I found that transglutaminase supposedly increases the yield of cheese being made. Note in the cheese recipe below I make notes, especially at the end, about the addition of the transglutaminase. Please disregard that if you are just making mozzarella cheese. Recipe: Homemade American-Style Mozzarella Cheese *NOTE: See addition to this recipe at the end. For research purposes this whole recipe will be doubled and ran side-by-side and therefore each thing on this list is needed in duplicate.* Ingredients: 1 gallon whole milk (raw preferred, but store bought okay -- see note on calcium chloride) 1 ½ teaspoons citric acid, dissolved in ¼ cup cool filtered water ½ teaspoon calcium chloride (if milk is store bought), dissolved in ¼ cup cool filtered water ½ tablet Junket Rennet tablet suspended in ¼ cup cool ...

The Machine

Each year near late August, we jar our own tomato sauce. We purchase around 10-18 bushels (depending on prior year's usage) for the produce market. The family gets together and we cook the tomatoes, then juice them, jar them, boil the jars to vacuum seal and store away. It's a traditional Italian chore each year. The process can be very labor intensive if you have to do the juicing by hand. My grandfather got tired of the manual crank machine. About 30 years ago, he converted our machine to an electric automatic machine by attaching an old washing machine motor to it. The "Machine" is a great example of how necessity is the mother of invention. Check out the "Machine" in running form.
