- Hello, you all, and welcome to Sanna's kitchen 💚
It's time for the first harvest from our own yard. Although this first year is just about finding out what grows here and what doesn't I did get a lot of rhubarb which was already growing here. I made some delicious juice and jam out of it.

I create photographs, videos, and music, inspired by this Nordic nature and its magic.
Welcome to my world 💛

Thank God for your beautiful country
Ha,ha, those are good bloopers at the end.
Yes, some words are just impossible for Finnish to pronounce 😂
I live in Minnesota in the Midwest region of the US. Rhubarb thrives here and today I will make this juice with the plant in my yard. Typically we make jam and sweets such ad Rhubarb Cake, Rhubarb Crumble, Rhubarb Crisp, and my favorite, Rhubarb Cream Bars. I hope you enjoy today.
Sarna : Normally over here in Scotland we never cut the rhubarb with a knife but instead just pull it out stem by stem and then into the kitchen, where you spend hours cutting it up, before washing it thoroughly in cold water and placing it in the largest saucepan you have. Add Sugar or Honey so it looses it acidity. Bring to the boil, remove all the white topping as that is waste and keep it on a medium simmer for about 40 minutes depending on size of the pan, then switching the heat off, leave it to cool naturally. Then make into lots for a luscious sweet to be eaten with savouries of your type. Some make rhubabrd jam and others make paint stripper - minus the sugar. Some even make it into wine!!
That sounds very similar to what I did. Exciting to hear that you grow rhubarb there, too ☺️🌱

Hej Sanna ☺
Just want to say that your video is just really cozy and wonderful.
I can’t get over that you have this amazing view from your house! 🤗
Thank you 🥰 I know, the view is great. One of the reasons why we wanted to move here 😍
@@sannavaara I so much understand why you moved! 🥰
Так, це перший вітамінний продукт у сезоні. В Україні він називається узвар. В кінці приготування ми додаємо ваніль. Смачного!
Hello Sanna! I love your videos! Just one quick observation or piece of advice: it is healthier for the rhubarb plant if you pull the stalks out from the base of the plant rather than cut them. The cut surface leaves an opening for diseases to potentially get into the core of the plant. It's easy to pull the stalks out from the base. Just grab the stalk close to the base and pull slightly outward and upward with some force. And to comment on another comment below - the leaves are poisonous but as long as you don't ingest them, you'll be fine. I know people who chew on raw rhubarb stalks plain or dipped in sugar as a treat but I have never tried it. It is very tart so I can't imagine it would be very tasty.
Cheers from Southern Scandinavia! We love rhubarb too and have been expanding our rhubarb bed every year. We also made the majority of the harvest into juice and have been experimenting with making rhubarb wine.
In dutch we call it rabarber. Sound almost the same.
By the way, i love your video's
Thank you for sharing.
Love your videos, wish I could visit you beautiful land. You live the life I would have loved to live.
You are just the sweetest person 🤩 Love from Germany
Perfect harvest. Hope you enjoy. Looks yummy.
I’ve already eaten half of this batch 🙈 Luckily there’s more harvest coming up ☺️
Right now we're burning up in Greece. We got 45 degrees today. I bet you have an awesome weather up there. Good night.
Ugh, that is horrible 😫 Our summer is quite cool and doesn’t get too hot.
❤❤❤
How fantastic that you have such a large harvest of Rhubarb.
And also all the flowers in your garden are so beautiful. 😍 Have a lot of fun with your garden.
I know, it came as a surprise to me, too that it was so huge 😁 Thank you 🥰🌱
Hello, Sanna and everyone. After struggling to get my first batch of rhubarb juice properly filtered, I made my second batch with the stalks cut in 5-inch-long pieces. It might not be authentic, but it works. And, less effort cutting
Now I can't wait to get my rhubarb out of my garden and make juice out of it! Thank you for your video ❤️
Aah, it’s so delicious 😋
how did your garden with the other veggies do? rubbarb did good, must be old strong plants.
Rhubarb juice sounds delicious 😊
wow so dreamy ❤❤❤❤❤
my mother used to make a yummy fruit compote with rhubarb and strawberries, but i have never had just the juice for a drink. sounds like the prefect summer cooler...no matter how you pronounce it!
Strawberries and rhubarb do taste good together but I like plain rhubarb, too ☺️ The juice is perfect drink for hot summer days.
❤❤ Good morning to you my friend ❤❤

OK, so I have one big Rhubarb plant in my garden and I am always scared to make anything of it and I will just leave it to die in the autumn. I am scared that we can get poisoned if I don't do it correctly. Not sure when to harvest it or how to prepare it, so I will just leave it. Never had a Rhubarb in the garden until this summer. 🤪🤪
I understand these things can be quite tricky sometimes ☺I've only heard that you shouldn't eat rhubarb raw. When you make juice or jam or pie, it's always cooked first. There are plenty of good recipes for instance how to make jam and they are very easy to follow. Just go for it, you'll be fine and in the worst-case scenario your rhubarb will end up in the trash instead of letting it die in the garden 😁
@@sannavaara haha, easy to say. I just read that the leaves are toxic to humans and if you eat a leave you can actually die and i have a little 3yo kid , so I am worried that she can get poisoned and that I wont cut the leaves properly or something... I might try it... will keep you posted 🤪🐍
@@ResonatingSweden, oh, that's a bit different then with small children 😬But let me know how it works, I'm sure you can do it safely enough even for children ☺
Please ask a neighbor or friend who uses rhubarb to demonstrate the process for you. It’s sad you are missing an opportunity to create and enjoy foods with your rhubarb.
Very good video. What is the music at the start called? I really like it
Thank you 🥰❤️ It’s from Epidemic Sounds from a musician I really like. Sandra Marteleur - Drömmaren.

What about mushrooms? -)
We do have mushrooms and collect them, too ☺
@@sannavaara Heh -) That's interesting. For some reason we (here in Russia) think that finns don't eat mushrooms )) While here it is a nationwide "hobby" so to say. I myself spend every 3 months (jul-oct) doing that. Forests are crowded with people during this time. We have a house near Vuoksi river, not too far from Finland border. I hope one day these lands will return to Finland, there's a lot of people who d like to live in your country rather than this one ;-/
