Thriving in the Dead of Alaska Winter | Canning Moose Chilli, Wild Foraged Jam & A Winter Hunt

This week has dipped into the hard negatives, until we got a beautiful day. While it was cold we took the time to preserve some food and stock the pantry with wild game and foraged berries, a hearty moose chilli and old-fashioned honey sweetened wild blueberry jam. When it warmed up, we finally got outside to do a little bird hunting around the homestead. We cooked our catch over an open fire with some homemade sourdough & jam. In between, we did a little wiring project and got ready for an (unexpected) mishap & trip into the city. Thank You for following along as we build our life on the last frontier! -Dennis, Amy & Lena filmed at our cabin on the fringes of the wilderness HOMESTEAD RECIPES Old Fashioned Honey Blueberry Jam (from Ball Canning) -4.5lbs berries -1.5 C honey -2 tsp lemon cinnamon, or vanilla (optional)4 1.
