Making Delicious Fruit Candy for Future Food Shortage (episode s2.02)

The concern of possible food shortages in the near future should encourage people to at least practice techniques to store food in case of a possible shortage. There are many modern tools and techniques to accomplish this task but mother nature has also given us primitive ways to process and keep food for long term storage. In this video I show a simple technique to process, dry and preserve prickly pear fruit for future use. This same technique can also be used for other fruits such as pineapple, papaya, and others.

As usual, enjoy the ASMR quality of this video along with the beautiful cinematic imagery. Thanks for watching!

This is just the content I love! I like to imagine I'm watching a real caveman who just happened to find a camera and is documenting his daily life. Channels like you and Townsends are honestly my favorite content on this platform, just kind of reminds me of watching an older documentative show in the 70's!

Last night a friend commented that "it's too bad we can't do something with all that prickly pear fruit in the yard" so I decided I'd like to harvest it today and then found your video this morning. I have previously removed the thorns by putting the fruits in a jar and shaking it but I prefer your method, though I don't know what your brush is made from. I have a small hand broom that I'll try and I plan to use a food processor once the fruit's all dried. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and techniques. I'm sure you will enjoy having a taste of summer every time you eat some of your healthy, delicious candy. <3

If you had some dried meat you could mix them with the dried fruit and make pemmican bars 😊

This is the first video i found of this channel. It's so.... Pleasing to watch. At first i thot you'd narrate what you were doing and was disappointed when u didn't but you just doing a task in silence and having pop up notes show up was sooo much better. I loved the editing and the way this is shot as well.

I'd kick up the rocket heater, place the fruits on your rocket heater bench and slow heat/dry them inside. Outside, set up a small fire with greens to smoke the bugs away. You could do meat inside as well.

as someone with an innate fear of wasps, bees; Hornets. I am amazed at how you just grabbed the fruit with them all around. I would have been crying lol

[barsfrommars]

first american person ive seen that appreciates basic things that normal people take granted of.

[TOGthatoneguy]

you are a great guy, showing us all how to do things. i love that you reply to peoples comments so much as well. it really does make people feel included. and we all appreciate that.

[NeroNyte]

I like how we can see how frustrating those glochids must be by how we see you use a different technique to remove them every time lol, that's the truest form of "There's gotta be an easier way to do this."

Last month, I tried prickly pear cactus fruit for the first time. It was really good, but the seeds were the only issue for me. I bought one of the fruits at a grocery store. It was was expensive. Almost $2 for one piece of fruit. That fruit leather looks really good. Too bad you couldn't put a small fire, with smoke, to keep the flies and the wasps away, while the fruit was drying. It's nice that you have an abundance of that prickly pear cactus fruit. God sure provides us with great things. Cheers, Chad! ✌️

Realmente has mostrado una técnica básica y muy útil, admiro tu paciencia y el empeño con que haces todo, es un maravilloso video Chad!

[TheYellowPixel]

Smart to try out different shapes for the candy!

[mokuwii]

it's awesome really, that you take your time to reply to most of your comments, thank you for this amazing video

[SpookiBunny]

i bet you could mix this with flours to make it even more nutritious. it would be interesting to see if that changes it's durability also

[stillme]

Great stuff. I'll try that with my plant. Nice video, peaceful. Be well.

[TsunamicBug]

Thanks, I'll try this myself, it's been quite hot recently.

انصحك تستعمل صوف أو الفرو الغنام أو الماعز وتصنعها بمغزل حتا تصبح خيوط من النسيج وتعمل رداء أو فروه كامله تنفعك ضد البرد تحياتي

[SaraJean]

I wonder if u offered a shallow pot of fresh water if the flying bugs will go to it or ur fruit still? the wasps will but I wonder if it would help or maybe use that setup but put it on ur hot fire stones outside.. like by ur chimney or somewhere I know u know a spot that stays mildly hot after the nighttime that should keep the flying bugs away and dry them faster... yay solutions

[agnesdianaracz]

Another amazing skill of an big bunny who looks like candy. 😆😷
