Apple Cider & Maple Glazed Ham Recipe

March 28, 2018 by crystal@wholefedhomestead Leave a Comment

Ham doesn’t need much in my opinion… I mean, it is smoked pork, after all- it’s already delicious by definition. This maple glazed ham with a touch of apple cider is the perfect recipe for your holiday dinner, a special brunch, or even just a weeknight! This maple glazed ham is easy to make, and […]

Smokey BBQ Brussels Sprouts Recipe + How to Cook the Perfect Sprout

February 5, 2018 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 1 Comment

These are really really good brussels sprouts… about as good as you can hope for a brussels sprout to be. They’re crispy, salty, full of flavor, golden brown, and delicious. We love all things Brassica (that’s the cabbage-broccoli-kale-brussels family) in this household, so it’s no surprise we’re a couple of brussels sprouts fans. And if […]

Maple Bourbon Wassail Recipe + How to Wassail an Orchard

January 18, 2018 by crystal@wholefedhomestead Leave a Comment

Wassailing- you did what?! This is something I think is so cool. And something that also makes me feel like a huge dork, if I’m being perfectly honest. At least the Maple Bourbon Wassail recipe turned out AWESOME! There are two parts to this: the act of Wassailing, and the drink Wassail. Wassailing is a […]

Old-Fashioned Honey Taffy Recipe

November 23, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 3 Comments

I love learning new skills in the kitchen, especially ones that are “old-fashioned” … as in, something people really don’t do anymore that used to be part of everyday life, like rendering lard, cooking dried beans, or making homemade candy. (If you love to learn new skills too, make things from scratch, and give homemade […]

{Crustless} Maple Pumpkin Pie

November 13, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 2 Comments

I love pumpkin pie- especially for its simplicity and rustic-ness. While I don’t know the real history of the pumpkin pie, I can only imagine that everyone from the earliest American Indians to the original homesteaders have been baking forms of pumpkin custard for a long time. Pumpkin pie’s roots go deep, and I love […]

Homemade French Onion & Herb Dip Recipe

November 1, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead Leave a Comment

I’m a dip person. I want to dip stuff into other stuff, all the time. And this Homemade French Onion & Herb Dip is one of my favorite dips- so that’s saying a lot! I think I love it so much because it combines two classics- it’s a little bit of a cross between a […]

Plum & Crabapple Fruit Leather Recipe

September 21, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 2 Comments

This has been the year of the fruit leather, and my favorite so far is this plum and crabapple fruit leather… it’s sweet and tart, with a gorgeous color, plus it is very pliable and tender (a great quality for fruit leather, as some can end up as tough as… well, leather). I’m on my third […]

{Easy} Bread and Butter Refrigerator Pickles Recipe

August 29, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 4 Comments

For years I’ve tried making pickles- everything from bread and butter refrigerator pickles to classic dills… and for years I’ve never found a recipe I have fallen in love with, until now. I didn’t realize how much my general lack of pickling skills was weighing on me- I mean, a homesteader should be able to […]

Maple-Sweetened Peanut Butter Balls Recipe

April 13, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead Leave a Comment

Peanut butter covered in chocolate is one of life’s fine pleasures. And when that peanut butter is mixed with the earthy, smokey, sweet flavor of maple sugar, it’s pretty darn incredible. These maple peanut butter chocolate candies are actually modeled after one of my old favorite holiday treats, the glorious Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg (why are […]

Smashed Sweet Potatoes with Garlic Butter

March 6, 2017 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 2 Comments

I’ve always thought sweet potatoes were only okay- I’ve never been crazy about them… even the beautiful glowing purple ones we grow in our own garden. And Karl is simply just offended by sweet potatoes, maintaining that they are indeed “not a potato.” I had to start calling them Yams, just so that he would […]

Summertime captured in fruit leather! It seriously Summertime captured in fruit leather! It seriously tastes like a bright sunny day. It’s the perfect winter treat!
.
This is homegrown raspberry with a hint of apple- I almost always add apple to my fruit leather because it makes for the best texture!

I’m not starting tomato seeds anytime too soon, I’m not starting tomato seeds anytime too soon, but I am thinking about it! Here are some varieties that are on my definitely-will-grow list for this coming season! These are standard must-grows for me, with the exception of the two new varieties I mention. I’ve been honing this list for many many years!
.
🍅Juliet (mini-Roma, excels at everything)
🍅Chocolate Cherry (deep flavor, stunning color)
🍅Valentine (dark, meaty, rich for a cherry)
🍅Sunrise Bumblebee (she’s a looker)
🍅Russian Rose (gorgeous rosy red, delicious)
🍅Big Rainbow (multi-colored, good acidity)
🍅San Marzano (classic paste variety)
🍅Super Sauce (gigantic meaty paste)
🍅Pomodoro Squisito (new, elongated paste)
🍅Tegucigalpa (new, rare, tapered paste)
.
There’s one more variety I’m excited about, it’s a chance seedling that popped up in our garden last year. We have a lot of rotten tomatoes on the ground every Fall, which means we have a lot of volunteer tomato plants every Summer. Most are tilled under, but this one survived hiding amongst the potatoes. It produced really cool tomatoes like I’ve never seen before!! I saved the seed and will plant them and see what we get!
.
We’re fortunate to have some amazing greenhouses in the area, so I always pick up a handful of unique tomato plants-whatever catches my eye- from them every year too.
.
We plant close to 30 tomato plants every year- they’re one of my very favorite things to grow! (Can you tell?!) 😜

Feels like sunshine getting this gorgeous glowing Feels like sunshine getting this gorgeous glowing citrus delivered every month! What an amazing way to brighten the dull winter here!
.
In partnership with @uscitrus, who ships the most delicious, juiciest, fresh citrus! That gorgeous smoky pink-orange one is a “Super Red” Grapefruit. It was spectacular- check out my stories today to see the inside, plus see the other citrus that came in my box this month!
.
This citrus is grown on small farms in Texas, picked when it’s perfectly ripe, and shipped directly to you for a very reasonable price.
.
I’m eating a grapefruit, orange, or tangerine nearly every day, and I’m making copious amounts of sparkling water with lemon and lime juice... what a wonderful way to get my daily vitamin C. I LOVE IT!
