In this week's Friday episode, Patrick and Stuart continue a visit with Terry and Ash from ‪@chateaudelalacelle‬ when they discover an old toile de Jouy wallpaper that was hidden in an unopened door in the north wing of the chateau that used to house the original chateau kitchen and scullery. They also take a day off from renovations in order to harvest the white peaches from the chateau gardens and process them for preserves to make their own Peach Bellini Jam. Patrick and Stuart also recently joined Terry and Ash for a visit to Château de Lalande to visit with Stephanie and Philip ‪@TheChateauDiaries‬ .

Former small organic farm girl here- I know EXACTLY what you are going through with the harvest. I was always happy to take off for band/ orchestra camp in August! 😆My mother routinely put up 250-300 quart jars via canning. We had a freezer just for freezing produce, extra holiday meat buys. Often since she taught primary school she did a couple small batches of jam, usually black raspberry and strawberry to give out to staff. We didn’t have AC in MI either when we ran the harvest through the kitchen. She had four big windows and fans going, but it was still 42C/102F in there at least. The first two air conditioned spaces we had were kitchen dining, parents bed room because my father worked in 100-115F in downtown Detroit every summer. Mother washed and froze fruit to make jam for holiday gifts, blanched and froze tomatoes, green beans, peas, potatoes. My all time favorite jam is black raspberry. All this food would generally last until just before spring started. Love your copper pots!

Loved your personal story. Thank you! Black raspberry is one of my favourites as well! 💕

Patrick, this is an easy way to delineate the categories for fruit concoctions for canning: chunky = preserves puree = jam juice = jelly citrus rinds = marmalade Follow this method and you won't need to think twice about what to label your finished products. Anyway it's the taste that counts. I'm a huge fan of Cointreau. Add it to whipped cream for desserts such as cream puffs.

Harvest time is pure madness (in my case, it's pears). If you freeze extra chopped fruit, it can be made into jam & preserves during Winter months, when there are fewer demands on your time and a warm kitchen is welcome. Your recipe sounds divine, Thank you for sharing!

Hi Patrick and Stuart, Two thumbs up for Fraka, and to those preserves! I could almost smell the aromas. I did preserves in the past, so I know in the end, it costs so much and is time-consuming. We grew up on preserves in the past more than now. The best gift someone could give me is a jar of their own chutney or jam. That Toile discovery is awesome. I hope you recreate it and use it somewhere. I am a little biased because I would change the man and woman to two men. Just saying! LOL. It was great seeing you all at Lalande. I just love how my KZfaq vloggers stay in contact, like one great community. 👍 ❤

@rt3box6tx74 11 ай бұрын

Obscure fact I think I saw on America's Test Kitchen: Storing apples frozen before thawing and using them in cooking helps break down cellulose, making reduction faster. Not sure if that's the case for other fruits. Most committed home canners pick up jars at charity shops, estate sales, garage sales etc. The negative aspect is they usually require labor = time to get them sparkling clean and sterile. The toile paper you found is very nice. I prefer hunt scenes to the more feminine picnic and courtship themes. Thanks for making time to put out videos of your escapades. Very entertaining.

Good morning Patrick & Stuart, jam making is an art, why, so much love and dedication goes into the complete process. I bought strawberries recently, we 'cleaned' them, sliced them in half, I looked at them and into the freezer they went. I will make the jam very early one morning, I find that the best time to cook as not many people are in the kitchen. So much work, but so worth it. The paper was a fabulous find!! I am not too keen on toile, yet this pattern is exceptionally interesting with the hunting dogs and them disturbing the geese at the water's edge. That is a pattern I would use, especially in fabric. It is so wonderful when one of a kind items are found during renovation projects. Going back to the jam making, I usually pour brandy or whiskey on top of the fruit before sealing, that helps preserving never thought of adding some to the fruit before bottling. I think some brandy in peaches and pears would be great tasting. So nice when I can learn something new each day. I agree, people do not realise the work of making chutneys and jams, I give to those whom I know would appreciate it, because store bought stuff really has very little flavour. Anything home made is fabulous, flavours must be savoured and enjoyed. This episode was interesting, homely and educational. So, I will see you in the next one. Kind regards, Elize.

My first thought was that brown paper is remeniscent of the paper they used to use to wrap butcher's deliveries in, but then the corner flopped over and my jaw hit the desk. It looks like a wood block print. Very rare. And the fact that the company still exists; I am salivating. I am sure I've seen something similar as certains and cushion covers, but unfortunately I can't remember where, other than a large house in Boulogne. (I was as small. Please forgive. :D). Bless Frauke. When she comes up for air.

You could make some peach sauce or chutney, both equally moreish, with some of your surplus peaches, and why not just stew and freeze several containers so that you can make peach crumble or shortcake or whatever in the winter? So yummy with lovely hot custard! I'm about to make another batch of Lemon Honey, it disappears rapidly in my house! Big hugs and doggy pats xxx

Honestly Patrick! What are you like🤣. With all the jams and chutneys, you must be so discombobulated 😩😩it must be standing over all that suger rush😝. You have to taste. 😝. Looks delicious eitherway 💕

If you bring the fruit to a rolling simmer with half a dozen glass marbles in the pot they fall to the bottom and roll around stopping the Jam from sticking.

Oh my all that cutting up of peaches! When you started cutting them the sink looked so full, but then little by little you emptied it. Isn't that a satisfying feeling? I've never made peach jam, but I make strawberry jam every year. And when I start the amount of fruit looks overwhelming, but then it all gets processed and tastes soooo delicious all through the winter. There is a toile de jouy museum outside of Paris which I've read about, but never visited. I wonder if they would have the pattern of your newly found wallpaper sample in the archives. I look forward to hearing more about the results of your research. And a big shout out to Franka for all that work in 90 degree heat!!!😓🥰

Love watching you make jams, relishes,etc Patrick I remember my grandmother doing all this her pantry was full of preserves. Fantastic find in the Toile de Jouy wallpaper it’s a lovely piece of history

That toile wallpaper is stunning. Hopefully it can be framed and or finding the company that can recreate it. I was drooling at the peach Bellini jam, so jealous of your harvest. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

Now, my grandmother, a descendant of Alsatians, is rolling in her grave as the peaches were not peeled first before removing pit or stone. She then would very sneakily make a separate jam from the peelings for the kids. We hated it! Blech! who wants peach fuzz on their toungue!

@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 11 ай бұрын

🤣😂🤣. I know what you mean. I used to, till I found out that the peel looses the fuzz when cooked properly. Can’t taste it when it’s puréed. ❤❤❤. I’d have spent 8 hours with peeling. I feel blessed. Hugs.

That toile is stunning! Hunt scenes are a favorite of mine. What a find! I can’t wait to see what you do with it. You both have SO much to offer. You could have classes on making preserves, gardening, historic preservation/ restoration, the history of copper pans, their makers and the care of the pans….and much more. I would love to attend any and all.

Sounds like you need to find a wholesale company for jars. You could also sorce old jars from brocantes and buy new lids, because the jars are easy to sanitize. It's so fun to create a little business on the side of what you are already doing. The wallpaper awesome of course! Having some to hang once again in the chateau would be the perfect touch to your decor for any room. Big hugs have a great weekend.

Patrick, Thanks for speaking slower. I completely understand you today. Loved the jam session. Are you considering selling all your jams at a brocant? They also make wonderful gifts. Yes we have 36* here in Florida a good part of the year but thank God for AC. The year we had a bad hurricane and had no electricity for two weeks was hell. Took a lot of cold showers. That wallpaper is beautiful and so fits the chateau. Saw you yesterday on Stephanie’s channel. Your vlogs are getting better and better. Maybe Amazon has inexpensive jam jars. The chutney sounds scrumptious.

It's interesting to note that major elements of this toile are used in varied patterns of wallpaper and fabrics. A Google lens search of a screen shot pulled up a similar toile fabric pattern by P.Kauffman and Schumacher.

@JourneytotheChateau 11 ай бұрын

Yes, I did find similar variations of this online, but they lacked the detail and were simplified or scenes removed. This is definitely an older and more detailed version of the pattern.

Love seeing the treasure that you found with the wallpaper and I'm sure you will find a way for it to be preserved and to do a room. That'll be just as beautiful. And the peach crop. I certainly do wish I was closer because I would certainly be buying up a lot of your stock. God bless you y'all. Keep up the great work. Love you both❤ and will continue to follow. Much love
