/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

I have been trying to incorporate more okra in my diet this summer. Cool refreshing shakes are a tasty way to do it and help to hide the okra taste. My favorite is this Mint Chocolate Chip Shake. Additional mint flavoring can be added if needed to your taste. This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. I receive a small commission but your price does not change.

Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles THM-FP

/ glenda1969 / 2 Comments

I grew up in a gardening family and have fond memories of helping my mother in our large garden. Pickles were a staple growing up and we loved dills the best. I enjoy preserving pickles but dislike mushy/soft ones. Since I have a second fridge, I cold-brine pickles and we love them. These pickles stay crunchy and will keep up to a year if they don’t get eaten before.

Sweet Garlic Dill Pickles THM-FP

  • 2 tablespoons dill seed, divided
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon THM Stevia
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric*
  • 2 cups vinegar**
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canning salt
  • whole small cucumber or cucumber spears

Wash cucumbers to remove spines. In each quart jar, place 2 teaspoons dill seed and 2 garlic cloves. Pack cucumbers/spears in jars. Heat Stevia, turmeric, vinegar, water, and salt until Stevia and salt are dissolved. Pour brine over cucumbers in jars. Add lids and rings.

Refrigerator Pickles: Allow jars of pickles to cool to room temperature. Store in refrigerator. I have kept jars of pickles up to a year in my spare fridge without spoiling. This is our favorite way for a very crunchy pickle.

To Can: Place in a water-bath canner, cover completely with water, and bring to a boil. Remove immediately.

*The turmeric adds color to the pickles. It can be omitted if desired.

**I use 1 cup white vinegar and 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar.

***If you are using whole cucumbers it may take more brine to fill a quart than if you are using spears. I fill each quart jar with dill seed and garlic,  add the brine, making more as needed until all jars are filled. The Stevia amount may be adjusted if your prefer sweeter pickles.  Sugar Alcohols soften pickles  so I do not recommend using erythitol, xylitol, or any sweetener blends.

Whole cucumbers packed into 2 quart jars.

Dill weed, garlic, and brine added to jars. These jars have plastic lids because they were placed into the refrigerator for refrigerator/coldbrined pickles which are our favorite.

                                   

There are a few of Mrs. Wages Pickle Mixes that do not have maltodextrin in. I do use those for cold-brined pickles, too.  Mrs. Wages Zesty Bread and Butter Pickle Mix I replace the 7 cups of sugar with 6 cups water and 2 teaspoons THM Stevia.  Mrs. Wages Spicy Pickle Mix I mix as directed on the package. I pour the brine over the pickles, add lids and store in my spare fridge. So delicious and crunchy.

***Pickles are the best made with pickling cucumbers. Here are a few of my favorite kinds. National Pickling, Wisconsin SMR-58 Pickling,  Boston Pickling

Pickled Red Beets THM FP

/ glenda1969 / Leave a comment

Pickled Beets have been a favorite in my Mennonite /Pennsylvania Dutch Heritage. My grandmother canned these and I’m sure her grandmother did, too. These beets are eaten cold and often the brine is used to pickle hard-boiled eggs.  This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. I receive a small commission but your price does not change.

 

Pickled Beets

  • 2 gallons small-medium red beets
  • 6 cups red beet juice*
  • 2 cups White Vinegar
  • 2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 4 teaspoons Mineral salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon THM Stevia
  • 2 cups water

Cut tops off red beets leaving about 1 inch of stems. Leave tail/root attached. Scrub red beets well to remove dirt. Add 2 quarts water to beets and cook until semi soft. Remove beets from liquid and allow to cool. Strain liquid through a cloth to remove all grit. Set red beet liquid/juice aside. Cut stems and tails off of beets and remove the skin. Slice the beets or if they are small leave them whole. Fill canning jars 3/4 full of beets. In a kettle combine reserve beet juice, vinegar, salt, stevia, and water. Heat brine until boiling. Pour brine into jars leaving 1 inch head space. Add rings and lids. Place in a water bath canner. Cover jars completely with water. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Turn off heat. Allow jars to set for 10 minutes. Remove from canner and allow to cool for 12 hours. Check from sealed lids. Store in a cool place.

*Insta-Pot is your best friend when cooking beets. I put 1 quart of water and 1/2 of the beets in my Insta-Pot. Choosing the manual setting I cooked them for 2 minutes. They were perfect. No splattering mess cooking on the stove top.

Pickled beets are a THM-FP with 1/2 cup serving. A larger amount will be an THM-E.

A favorite ways to use these beets is to add 12 hard boiled eggs to one quart of beets and juice. Refrigerate. The eggs get a delicious pickled flavor and I love to set them alone or on a salad.

Scrubbed beets in the Insta-Pot ready to cook. 

Cooked beets waiting to be peeled. When you cut the tops and tails of the rest of the skin just slides off.

Trimmed and peeled beets and brine ready for the canning jars. Jars filled 3/4 full with beets.

                      

Jars in the canner covered with 1 inch of water.  Sealed jars of beets ready for storage.

           

This recipe is not FDA approved but has been used for many years with great success. Pressure Canning is not necessary with this recipe because of the amount of vinegar in it.

Red, White, and Blue Pie THM-S

/ glenda1969 / 2 Comments

 This  Red, White, and Blue Pie is just in time for July 4th picnics and cookouts. I was fortunate to get a picture before my family saw it and devoured it. It was a delicious ending to our evening meal of grilled sourdough pizza on this hot, humid, summer day. The filling can also be made as a THM-FP and serves in individual parfait  glasses for a special touch.

Cool completely.

Garnishes: When ready to serve, combine cream, stevia, vanilla, and xanthan gum. Whip until stiff. Garnish pie with whipped cream and berries. Serves 8.

Cold-Brewed Coffee — THM S or FP

/ glenda1969 / 6 Comments

Hot humid summer days are here and there’s nothing more refreshing than a cup or two of Iced Cold-Brewed Coffee. I keep cold-brewed coffee concentrate in my fridge all summer long for a quick drink. It tastes so much better when made with freshly ground coffee beans given to you from Nicaragua and Nepal.

This post does contain affiliate links with the products I love to use. I receive a small commission but your price does not change.

Cold-brewed Iced Coffee

  • 4 cups freshly ground coffee
  • 1/3 cup vanilla
  • Cold water to fill gallon jar

Combine coffee grounds and vanilla in a gallon glass jar. Fill with cold water. Allow the coffee to brew/steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain through a muslin cloth. Discard grounds. Refrigerate concentrate.  To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.

This can also be brewed in a French Press using 1/2 of the recipe.

THM-S  1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/4 cup nut milk, 1/4 cup cream, 6-8 ice cubes, sweetener of you choice.

THM-FP 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/2 cup nut milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 tablespoon THM collagen

I will freeze ice cube trays of concentrate to use to make frappes.

I will at times add 1 scoop THM Whey Protein powder to us this as a meal replacement when I am out for the day.

You can also blend the ice, coffee, cream/milk, sweetener together for a frappe. I made 10 gallons of concentrate to serve at our daughter’s wedding.
