[TastingHistory]

Do you prefer Jelly, Jam, or Preserves?

[collin]

"Boil some sugar and cherries"
"I dunno Nostradamus, seems pretty basic"
"Sorry that my recipe is so hard for you"

[Lauren.E.O]

Nostradamus being a beauty guru is info I never knew I needed

[SchizoGenius]

*Nostrdamus talking to a friend* "Man, I can't wait until Max Miller talks about my cookbook."
*Friend* "Who's' Max Miller?"
*Nostradamus* "You'll see" ;)

[nomadicmonkey]

It feels so oddly soothing to see Nostradamus of all people being hilariously petty dissing haters who badmouthed his awesome jelly recipe.

[Mic_Stargazer]

The fact he specifically mentions "clean hands" is what blows my mind the most

[TheLoyalOfficer]

Yeah, Nostradamus was Catholic and to be called a prophet meant being called a false prophet. He was being true to his faith and also steering clear of the Inquisition or witch trials. Smart move.

[z-beeblebrox]

Man, Nostradamus played ALL the quack doctor hits. Kicked out of medical school, anti-aging products, teeth whitening, hair products, lozenges, recipe books, public feuding with skeptics... AND vague predictions of the future! The last one's basically just bonus points

[Lauren.E.O]

I bet the cherry jelly would be good over the parmesan ice cream

[bananasenpai]

"Don't wear a white shirt, because it will stain it and you will be very sad."
I'm sorry for your white shirt, Max, hope the jelly made up for it 😢

[TaciturnusIneffabilis]

in eastern europe the cherries grow literally everywhere, so we have tons of this jelly here, to the point of making liquor out of them. although we pit the cherries straight away and leave them in the jam. this jelly, especially the variation with the whole cherries inside beside being eaten with toast is used in pies and even on vanilla ice-cream. it works really well

[Ironhandjohn]

“Snacks haughtily”… Your captioner has a lot of fun.

[rvoloshchukify]

Funnily enough, we make this exact jelly in Ukraine to this day because we have lots of sour cherry trees. We also do the same with raspberries and it is DIVINE

[MrChillerNo]

Experiments have shown, that rose petals used as he described, produce penicillin mold. which he made into pastilles.
It is quite possible that this was the first use of penicillin, whithout him knowing why or how it worked.
It would explain why with mild cases it worked actually fine. Since antibiotics are what is used to treat the plaque (a bacterial infection) today.

[charlesmcmasters]

I highly recommend taking the time to pull the seeds out while doing the first step (squishysquishy) Then, after squeezing out the liquid, you can use the pulp to make a tray of Cherry Bar cookies. No waste, and a tasty byproduct!

[ugh_dad]

I want to poke my head into the dimension where 90's US culture was obsessed with Nostradamus' catty cosmetology and cooking instead of his prophecies!

[bimscutney]

My dads aunt used to make homemade preserves and home made bread. Butter and homemade jelly on the still warm bread? Heaven.

[HerLadyship]

Ah, school being shut down by plague. How very relatable.

[TheWhiteDragon]

I have an idea behind "manure candy." When manure being turned into compost, it gets hot. Like, really hot: approximately 170ish degrees. I think the idea is that the candy mixture is meant to be in a sealed container and slowly cook for 9 days. I think black garlic was originally discovered this way, when garlic was accidentally left in a hot compost pile until it turned into that sweet savory paste.

[PersonalityMalfunction]

I had a very sudden, intense memory of my parents making cherry wine in the 70's when you squeezed the cherries into the sugar! It was so vivid I could smell the cherry fragrance. I don't think I've thought of this for 40 years - thank you, Max! What an unexpected pleasure.
