A friend collects the fire weed leaves,leaves them to wilt for 6 to 12 hours, packs them in a quart jar,adds water,drains it , then leaves it in the sun for 3 days, takes them out chops them and dries them....it tastes just like black tea but with a hint of floral.

My Swedish grandmother used a 'blue berry rake'. it was a troll with long teeth on it. Yes, it would get lots of leaves, but we would wait until the blue berries were ripe enough so that they didn't stick to the stems. Stems were the hardest thing to remove. Then, she would 'float' the blue berries in fresh water. The leaves and unripe berries would float to the top when stirred and easily scooped out.

So this is my 6th video ever since KZitem passed your video over my timeline and I watched the first video which was the harvesting of your potatoes and I was hooked. There is something about your videos that keep me on your channel. You seem to have a lot of jars, like 200 or more. I was happy to hear you plan to cut back on sugar as sugar is so taboo in 2019..Use honey. Do more videos of Alaska life, the type of soil you have, show us you going shopping when you go to pick up jars or hunting or fertilizers etc etc. Show us what makes life so simple . Life in Alaska seems interesting especially when I am from sunny Jamaica. Very nice channel. Happy I found you. blessings

Be prepared. You might just think you died and gone to heaven if you ever have homemade elderberry pie! My brother lives in Ohio and went to their Amish store, saw the pies we had as kids and asked how many. The young girl thought he said "How much?" and gave him a price. He laughed and said "No, how many do you have? She looked and he bought all she had which was 6 of them. He put the rest in the freezer.

I understand. But you don't have to make as much, or as many varieties, as these two kids make. Mason jars come innflats of twelve. Don't you have one special seasonal fruit or veggie or jam you love? And if you don't want to get into all that equipment, you can use dehydration. A good dehydrator doesn't cost that much and you,can add more trays. Fruits, mushrooms, veggies. Wasabi sesame oil greens like kale. Or fruit leather. Dried herbs and flowers. Jerky if you eat meat (I don't). You can even preserve tofu. Just "food for thought." :)

Both in the U.P and up there where you guys are, venomous snakes are not an issue. Still, when I am at the U.P. property I find myself walking through thick brushy areas very carefully until I remember there are none of those venomous critters there...old habits die hard......and when I watched you harvesting (borage and fireweed?)
