Tomato Jam
This is my secret weapon for winter breakfasts. It’s like a grown-up version of ketchup that is equally welcomed by all on top of crispy hashbrowns or alongside eggs. It has a beautiful greasy-spoon/diner vibe about it’s flavor that I simply adore - and I’m sure you will too. The recipe can easily be halved or even quartered to fit your needs.
10 pounds tomatoes
1 ½ pounds onion
2 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon ground clove
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1 cup apple cider vinegar
4 cups honey
1. Process the tomatoes and onion in a food processor or blender until they’ve been chopped up very fine. Add them to a large stockpot. You may need to do this in batches.
2. To the stockpot, add in the cumin, clove, chili flakes, vinegar, and honey. Bring the mixture to a low-simmer, stirring as needed to combine.
3. Allow the mixture to simmer, uncovered, for about 2 hours (or until it’s overall volume has been reduced by ⅓). If you’d like an even thicker jam, you can allow it to simmer for longer - this will also concentrate the flavors further.
4. Carefully ladle the hot mixture into jam jars and put on a new, clean lid and band. Flip the jars of jam over on your counter and allow them to sit, undisturbed, for a day before flipping them over, removing the bands, and storing the jars away in your pantry. Alternatively, the hot jars of jam can be processed in a water canner for 20 minutes and allowed to seal accordingly.

Re: the squash, i have the same issue with my family. This thanksgiving i had a ton of left over baked squash because no one was into it. I love it and didnt want to waste it so i converted a banana bread recipe and used the squash instead. I also added leftover cranberry sauce and some maple syrup. Put about 6 loaves in the freezer. It was AMAZING and all the loaves were gone within in a month. A new family breakfast favorite. Batter worked well as pancakes too! Another new family favorite:) Basically u can use squash anywhere you would use apple sauce, sweet potatoes, pumpkin or banana. There is also a huge difference in taste and texture between varieties. We dislike spaghetti squash, usually ate acorn, but it doesnt have much flavor, comparatively. Last 2 years we have discovered butternut and delicata and will never go back. What was left of that t-day squash was turned into a ginger vanilla pie on almond shortbread crust ...a delicious alternative to pumpkin pie, which we dont like. Problem solved!

Hey there! A little tip on using up squash for those who don't like it. (Also applies to sweet potatoes or other root veggies). Roast them up and mash them into taco meat or beans with taco seasoning. The heat and strong flavors can mask the flavor of the squash but it also benefits from the sweetness. Load into a tortilla and top with fresh lettuce, cheese and salsa. Also works in enchiladas.

@meh5069 2 жыл бұрын

Does it taste sweet even with the other spices?

@rebeccaturner8340 2 жыл бұрын

@@meh5069 It does a bit, but not overwhelmingly so. Kind of like when you stick corn in chili? That would be my closest approximation. There is sweetness but it's also salty and spicy. I don't like sweet entrees normally, but I do like this. Sweet potato also works in this application and I normally can't eat those at all.

Cube and roast the butternut squash with brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans. Use it as pie filling, in cookies, brownies, quick breads, and muffins like you would pumpkin, grate it and then freeze it in small portions and use it with sage and sausage in frittatas. Use the grated squash to make hash (bacon, ham, sausage), sprinkled in soups, mash it with potatoes, etc… endless possibilities and most of them contain prominent flavors that disguise the squash flavor.

My cousin made up a butternut squash recipe, and it’s amazing! Cube a squash into about 1-1.5 inch pieces and put them in a casserole dish or something like it. Add a bunch of butter (he never measures anything), cayenne powder, chili powder, chopped walnuts, and brown sugar. Mix it all up and bake it til the squash has a nice texture. This is as close to a recipe as I’ve gotten from him, but it’s so good! I call it Jason’s sweet and spicy squash. I eat it with dinner, then sometimes with ice cream afterwards. Edit: I don’t know if he peels the squash, or just cuts off the outside 🤷🏻‍♀️

butternut squash pancakes, fritters, soup, curries, and mac and cheese is how i like to have them! I also like to use it for my pumpkin pie. Squash is just so nutrient-dense and last so long that it is a must to grow for me since it grows so well where I live. I usually gift to friends and neighbors during harvest season and rarely do folks feel like it's a burden since it stores long and saves them a heavy grocery trip! I also like to toss diced butternut squash in a warm kale salad in the winter with some cranberries. We grow enough to get us through February. After that we like to have sweet potatoes, honey nut squash, acorn squash from our winter farmers market. We've learned to eat more seasonally and to preserve summer treats when we get bored to mix it up.

Very inspiring video ! Living in a tiny appartement in Paris area, I'm not able to cultivate a lot of food in my tiny balcony, but I do my best to enhance my skills regarding gardening and preserving year after year. And your cottage garden is a true motivation for me. I'm in love with butternut squash, but my husband don't like it. So I used butternutt purée in two recepies where he can barely recognise it : -butternut risotto with white wine and "infusion" of parmesan crust + parmesan -butternut linguine with oat cream, roasted garlic and fried sage + parmesan I planted zucchini last year, and harvest almost nothing due to my poor sun exposition (east), but my goal was not to harvest the fruits. In fact, I planted zucchini for the delicious but expensive flowers. I made a ton of zucchini flower beignet during Spring and Summer So I plan to do the same this year.

Two years ago I got almost 40 butternut squash off of a single pot a bought at Tractor Supply! They stored well, and I had them for over a year. A few went out to the chickens.

I also use cumin on them with harissa for a bit of a kick in a Moroccan Lamb Stew. Add in a few preserved salted lemon pieces, couscous with charred peppers and zucchini, throw in a mint & yoghurt dip with flat breads,,,, and that's nearly an authentic dish.

As a professional mom, (foster parent) I have been an expert at training children to like certain foods. I recommend u continue a less abundant amount of the squash and just sautee it up or make an occassional dish where it is the star. With no expectations, put it on their plate. They say u have to put a less liked food on a plate about 100 times before a child will turn to it (learn to like it). It's a lot of work and I certainly would understand if you are like "no way" but the gift of giving a child a broad taste for food, because they become an adult with a broad palate, is invaluable.

I simply sautee cubes of squash with salt, pepper, some paprika and cayenne (or just salt and peppper) in a bit of olive oil until the edges are nice and crispy. Then I either toss it in a salad or in what I call a cooked salad. Like a stir fried greens dish with onions and garlic. The flavor of the squash becomes so appetizing.

Have you tried the Nadapeño from baker creek? Flavor without the heat! I really like how you walked us through how you evaluate what to grow with how you used it. Looking forward to seeing the 2022 garden!

Make sweet potato casserole and add some of the butternut squash, delicious!

Baker Creed Seeds has a nonapeno which is a jalapeño without heat. A really yummy way to use jalapeños is to make pepper jelly.

Garlic scape salt......drooool alert! And couldn't agree more about "more pickles always". Thanks for a really valuable peek into your planning processes and a look back to what you previously planted and what you're changing for this year!

My kids hated squash and so I would cut it in half, make slits in it and put in butter, and honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and bake it.You can also bake them with a little maple syrup and butter. Maybe the sweetness will inspire them to eat it.

Squash recipe! Looks like you’ll have quite a few. I do a breakfast hash with bacon pieces, sage, broth and oil/butter. Just cube the butternut and cook like potatoes, getting a little browning on them. Other ingredients to your liking. ❤️

Butternut squash can be baked and pureed then mix a bit in with Mac n cheese. Or I peel, chunk. And roast with potatoes and other veggies.

Try baking with squash. My mom makes butternut squash rolls that are delicious. Ive seen people make squash pie. I'm assuming you could create or find recipes for a squash bread (like zucchini or banana bread), pancakes/waffles, cake, etc.
