The Colonial Williamsburg Museum has a pig shaped cookie cutter in their collection. It's impossible to pinpoint an exact date on it, with all that's known is that it's from the 1800s...but how could you ever say no to something so cute?! emuseum.history.org/objects/34530/pig-cookie-cutter?ctx=87de06905dab52d795d8c90f26032f0afb8c63d2&idx=23
Happy Holidays to everyone around the globe. Thank you for all of the kindness that you've shown us over this past year. I want to wish you good health and prosperity. I know that not everyone has family or friends that they can turn to during this time of the year. Just know that I've been there and that you aren't alone. There is always sunshine at the end of every storm and a rainbow after the rain. You are beautiful and destiny has great plans for you.
Gingerbread, American Domestic Cookery (1823)
1 & 1/3 cups of flour
1/2 cup of treacle
0.5 cups of butter, melted
3 teaspoons of ginger powder
1 teaspoon of caraway seeds
Mix the flour with ginger and caraway seeds. Add in your treacle and melted butter. Mix well until you've formed a thick batter. Store in a cool place/refrigerate for half an hour before rolling out and cutting. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest for at least 10 minutes once you've removed them from the oven before touching so that they may firm up.
Field Pea Cakes, The Virginia Housewife (1824)
1 cup of black eyed peas (soaked overnight if dry)
2 tablespoons of bacon
2 tablespoons of lard
Salt & pepper to taste
If uncooked, boil the peas until soft. Alternatively you may also use a can of black eyed peas, in which case you do not need to pre-cook them. Strain away as much of the liquid as is possible then mash till it is a paste with salt & pepper. In a skillet, fry up your bacon till done. Remove the bacon and set aside, retaining the drippings in the skillet. In the same skillet, melt the lard till hot. Place a dollop of black eyed peas into the hot lard and press flat with a metal spatula. Tip: cover your spatula in hot oil before pressing and it will not stick. These require at least 5 minutes per side on medium heat before flipping. If you find it impossible to flip them without them falling apart you may add a tablespoon of flour into the batter.
Goose & Apple Pie, Justine's Own
1 pound of Goose meat, cut
1 onion, diced
1 cup of vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
1 tablespoon of fresh thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
2 pie crusts, for top and bottom
In a skillet, melt your butter over medium high meat. Once melted add in the diced onion and goose. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of flour and mix well. After cooking for an additional minute pour in the stock, diced apples, thyme, salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. In a pie plate lay down a crust. Pour the above prepared goose and apple mixture into the pie paste and flatten. Sprinkle an additional tablespoon of flour over it before placing the top crust on. Vent the top crust with a knife by cutting at least one small slit in the center. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
You're so sweet Justine❤️And thoughtful, too😊🥰the holidays can be difficult for some and it’s kind of you to remember them.
Merry Xmas in 1820!
Piggy images are very popular in Germany for New Year's. They are supposed to bring prosperity. Merry Christmas and happy New Year from Berlin, Germany!
can you recreate the cookie cutter for sale?

I feel like Christmas is getting more complicated every year. This is my type of Christmas.
It’s not. I have recipes from when my family came as warrens on the mayflower till 1905 when my great grandfather came on a boar from wales. It’s the family that’s keeps it together. I’m from wisconsin but I have one limb who settled with the mayflower and one who came later form Belgium and then Scottish and then from Germany. Family favorites will be there forever if you chose to raise your family RIght!1
I agree
I think not. I'm not Christian but neoPagan and my community shares a lot of love and light and shared food at this time. I and many of my friends jumped off the commercial Christmas wagon years ago. That part just doesn't express the real meaning. Not physical presents. Emotional and spiritual ones. I have to believe we are far from the only ones. The media jsut gives the usual pap, not what real people experience. Blessed be.
When my boys were little, we made our gifts. And I always made a birthday cake to celebrate Jesus's birthday. Then we had a party.
It was fun and relaxing, a lot of laughter. A simpler time.
I told my 4 yr old that Justine had a new video and she said “ooo, let’s watch!” And she grabbed a blanket and we settled on the couch. Thank you so much for helping to spark a love of history and cooking in my little girl. She told daddy she wants him to build us a little cabin, too!
Aw, that's so sweet!
That seriously means so much! 😢 I still remember when I was a little one sketching images of my dream farm and cabin that I wanted to live in when I grew up. So many day dreams [well, I still day dream]. To think that there is another little girl that is excited about the same thing is making my heart burst!❤
Reminds me of myself as a child when I would snuggle up to read Little House on the Prairie books. They definitely sparked my love for history. ❤️
@@baylorsailor me too and I just started reading them to her! She even likes the LHOTP tv show. She asks for “Laura braids” sometimes and it makes me so happy.
@@baylorsailor I love those books!
it’s good to see people preserving history and raising awareness of our cultures. even though im an Australian-born asian, im happy to see this.
❤❤❤
I'm an American-born Asian. I want to see Americans preserve and propagate our American culture. We need more of this.
@exotic: That's a very nice comment and perspective you have.
I think your thoughtful mindset will take you far in life!

@@RightCenterBack321first nationalization act from 1790 states only white europeans of good immoral character allowed to migrate to America. So America was built and founded by white Europeans for white Europeans not saying you don’t deserve to be here you do! It’s good to see someone else who believes that we should keep our heritage and our birth right secured
@@manofmayhem4988 It's true. It wouldn't be the same country if it wasn't. Every immigrant came here because it was better than the place they left.
I love hearing the crackling fireplace, and watching you cook . I can imagine the warmth from the fire, and the smells of the food. Merry Christmas XOX ❤️
Right!
My Christmas wish is that I hope that people will remember our history as both of you do 💖💖
Everything is so unusual but looks so delicious 😋. I bet Ron likes it all🤩
I enjoy unusual ☺
Black eyed peas are a staple food in the south
Absolutely spectacular looking feast! 😊
Merry Christmas, everybody! 😃🎄🎆✨
What's funny is my coworker is a Ukrainian man shown me how Santa Clause is depicted in his hometown. It's actually like the older way he was depicted as a religious saint (like in this video) and nothing like the Amercian tradition in the red suit. It honestly has not changed too much but some American symbolism has come in as with commercialism but not as much as here. I made him Ukrainian mulled wine for Christmas, as he does miss home. I'm not Christian myself by I still enjoy seeing people happy during the holiday as the lights and songs bring joy when people need it the most.
You don’t have to be Christian to celebrate Christmas! I know plenty of atheists who celebrate it because it makes them happy, they see it as a holiday of gift giving, music, company, and good food.
All Christians want everyone to celebrate Christmas! Doesn’t matter what you believe! All we want is people to stop belittling and ridiculing us for what we believe! Especially people like here in America that benefit so much from Christianity. Almost everything we have is because of it.
It looked like a great Christmas feast! Thank you for the history lesson!
Hello, I wish you a Merry Christmas
I like how "a cold place" at this time of year simply means outside.
Ahhh outside, the extra winter fridge
It good to see people preserving past
Whenever I’m overwhelmed with something in life I come to your channel and relax, zone out, and watch you make these dishes. Thank you! Have a wonderful holiday season and may good health and wealth find you in the New Year! ♥️
Same thing I do when I have a headache or I am feeling down or depressed or just need to feel better I watch her videos I like this one specifically because of the Chickens I love that sound
I do too. The sound of the fire and the outside noises are calming.
❤
Tip from my great, great-grandmother, found on one of her receipt cards: "In cold weather, warm your crock of treacle, honey, or molasses near the fire just as you would your butter, then pour it into the same bowl on top of the butter to get all of your molasses with less mess."🥰 But I loved watching you drizzle it.
Can we all agree that that hat will be the next fashion trend this winter? I’m gonna try to help get it going, that’s for sure.
Someone has to break the ice and be the first person to go out with it! That person can be me.
@@EarlyAmerican Lol. Thank you.
Yessss I love the hat❤
My grandmother was making 'pea sausage' up until her inability to stand and cook and ultimate passing in the past few years. Essentially her 'pea sausage' was the leftover black-eyed peas, or field peas from the meal before or even the day before. She would mash up the peas just as you did and fry them just the same. I'm not entirely sure if she seasoned them or just cooked them in lard, but if you didn't know, it tasted just like a mildly seasoned sausage. Cheers!
Happy Christmas everyone! God bless!!! 🙏🏻🎄🎅🏻
LOVE, Love, love this one!! We are making our gingerbread dough tomorrow. I made ginger bread cake last week. It was the recipe used to make cake for the late Queen Elizabeth. Treacle was one of the ingredients. I had never heard of it before. I was excited to see you using it. I had no idea it was used in the early Americas, but I guess it makes sense! I also loved that the sweets and apples were hung on the tree and eaten on Christmas Day. I remember when I was a child, I always wondered why people used artificial apples to decorate trees. Now I know! The history at the end was near and dear to my Christmas-Around-the-World heart! Merry Christmas to you both! I so appreciate all y'all do! 💜
Check out the Two Fat ladies episode on cakes, they make a to die for gingerbread...loved Jennifer and Clarissa so much I bought AL their books, cookbooks, biographies, history etc...
Hello
Justine you always make everything look so easy!!! Even the hard stuff…You are a pro. What a dreamy meal, thanks for sharing.
What a feast!!! Justine, I have the same hat in navy blue. Love it!
Justine, I'm always impressed! Even with hearth cooking, you time everything right and don't forget a thing. You make it look so easy! Do you ever feel worn out after the food is dished up and the dishes, utensils and pots and pans are all cleaned? I do - and I have all the modern conveniences.
I've had wild goose once. This was in early January 1968 when I was 13. I came home from hours of skating in frigid weather, and as soon as I opened the door, I smelt sage, Bell's seasoning, onions, like Christmas all over again. Dad told me a hunter friend of his surprised him with an already plucked and cleaned Canadian goose. He and mom stuffed and roasted it. The skin was crisp and the meat tender. It was very rich and fatty, but so good!
BTW - I'm in the middle of reading a favorite childhood book, "Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates" by Mary Mapes Dodge. There's a fun description of a celebration of St. Nicholas Day at a wealthy family's house. St. Nick (someone dressed as him, obviously) would arrive in his bishop's robes and miter and know each kid's name and know exactly what he or she did during the past year. He'd encourage all the good kids to keep being good, and he would solemnly and gently lecture the naughty ones. And of course, he'd leave presents.
Merry Christmas to you and your families and fans! 🎄🥰💕❤️👍👍 Those recipes look yummy.
I absolutely love the decorations in ir home for Christmas 🎄 love love love ya'll....I learn so much from ur research 💕
Thank you for the history on this beautiful holiday and season. As always you two do an excellent job of presenting it.
Thank you for all you do. I really appreciate the recipes and the history. I never knew any of that…..how wonderful! You are both very respectful of our history! Thank you!
With all that’s going on in the world,this makes me feel better!! Food looks delicious!! May God bless you all,and Merry Christmas 🎄✝️
A Very Merry Christmas to you and Ron. I have so enjoyed watching both of your channels over this past year. So glad I found you both.
Hello, I wish you a Merry Christmas
The meal looks delicious. Very hearty. Thank you Justine for the recipe.
The story of Santa Claus.
Have you guys ever made your own Christmas ornaments such as plain dough with crushed hard candies clear hard candies And then bake him and then they become like almost stained glass ornaments? They are fairly easy to make so long as you make just a plain unsweetened dough for the framework and you just need a parchment paper and a baking sheet To cook clothes on and while you're cooking them You want a chop chopped up or crushed up hard candies clear hard candies into the openings and you can color coordinate them as you wish you get some beautiful effects by even mixing colors and flavors and you can make extraordinary stained glass window ornaments i've actually seen reproductions done of various church windows and cathedral windows from Europe and the United States done like this. I'm not saying you have to get that elaborate but you could make some like Christmas trees and wreaths and other such stuff we used to do this when we were kids with my parents. I just thought it would definitely be. appropriate Because my grandmother used to tell us that she made them with her grandparents when she was a little kid and she was only about 656 years old back in 1895 so if her grandparents were making them when they were kids they're definitely. appropriate.
I made those ornaments with my great-grandmother and she still had them from her kids!! They really hold up forever✨🎄
Thank you for the Christmas cheer. Merry Christmas to you and Ron...may all your moments be merry! God bless you both! ❤
Oh Justine! A gourmet feast! My mouth is watering! Thank you so much for the receipt tutorial! Merry Christmas!
I always enjoy her smile when she's cooking and because when I see her smile it makes my heart feel good she enjoys what she does and I'm happy for her God bless and Merry Christmas to her and her family
That goose pie looks very delicious, Justine! Merry Christmas to you all!
I have never thought of mashing black eyed peas and frying them!! Best CZcams channel!!!! Just awesome!!❤❤❤
Merry Christmas to you both! Thank you for so many wonderful videos this past year! Well wishes for a happy healthy new year! 🎄
i love the sound of old fashion cooking .merry xmas to all
A lovely Christmas feast! Have a joyful Christmas!🎄
Once again, amazingggggly beautiful. Every detail is priceless and thoughtfully thought out. Thanks for bringing us along and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hello
A very welcomed reminder of how Christmas started, and why we celebrate it. It has puzzled me for a very long time why we have holidays if no one understand the origins of them, now I know for sure!
Those pig and heart cookies were absolutely precious. Another great video as always.
Those tin cookie cutters remind me of the good ol days when I was a kid. My maternal grandmother had several different shaped tin cookie cutters in her household. She loved making sugar, peanut butter, and gingerbread cookies during Christmastime. Made from scratch, not store bought!
We just had black-eyed peas today for dinner, so it was fun to see them apart of your Christmas feast 😊
Beautiful! Tysm for the history because its good to stay humble to our roots especially now💕🎄❄️ Merry Christmas to you all!
Sending folks my best thoughts and wishes that you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! Bless you both and thank for sharing these historical munchies with us. Indeed it is living history and i tip my hat to you for keeping it alive!
The winter forest there is beautiful! And I envy you those fresh eggs! It all looks delicious! Thank you!
Happy Holidays everyone!🤶🏻🧑🏻🎄🇺🇸🎄
The history lesson at the end was a delightful bonus! Great video all around. Happy Christmas!
Ah, the goose, yum. I did a whole goose one year that was stuffed with mashed potato... no butter or milk in it, let it cool and added diced onion and a diced tart apple to the mash and tied the legs. It was the best Christmas ever. My daughter was young and to this day remembers that as "the best stuffing ever":) Old Irish tradition.
Great episode as always, everything looked delicious! Thanks to Alfred for the history lesson!
Whenever I’m overwhelmed with something in life I come to your channel and relax, zone out, and watch you make these dishes. Thank you! Have a wonderful holiday season and may good health and wealth find you in the New Year! ️
I think those pea cakes look delicious. I need to give it a go
The fried bean cakes reminded me of the latkes (potato pancakes) we make for Chanukah. 🕎 Thank you for a year of wonderful programs. 💖 Merry Christmas to you and your family. 🎅 ❄⛄
Hello, I wish you a Merry Christmas
Justine, you are wonderful, the way you whip up those pies! Absolutely impressive! Your feasts look so delicious. Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas, to you and Ron.🎄⛄🎄
I love that house. All the great food thats made there, just makes it all the more enjoyable. Really draws me in.
Love all your videos!!!! And the narrative history on Santa today was awesome!! Quick question - 200 years ago - how was treacle made? (Was it something that could be purchased easily and within people's means? or did most folks make their own black strapped molasses (treacle)? Thanks so much for your great content!
It was much cheaper than white sugar.
Sugar cane doesn't grow in much of the country, so most people wouldn't be growing it to make their own. Molasses and sugar was shipped in from the Caribbean and sold in mercantile
Hello
What a feast! I must try the bean cakes! Merry Christmas Ron and Justine, I hope you have a good year's end and all the best to you in 2024 ❤
Looks delicious as usual!
Hello, I wish you a Merry Christmas
My father who recently passed away would have loved this ❤I wish he could have seen it….
Everything was awesome, Justine! The cabin is cozy and beautiful and the meal looks good. Thank you for the fun and going to the Chew and Chat. Be blessed and a very Merry Christmas! 🎄⭐🎄
Everything looks amazing, thank you for taking us through another interesting, historical meal. God bless and have a very merry Christmas.
I love these. I wish you would do a tutorial on how to cook on open fire. I would love to learn how to do that!
Your videos are so soothing, calming and interesting! I subscribed to your channel back when you only had around 100k subs. I've so very much enjoyed your videos and congratulations on the success of your channel. Thank you for your format of just showing how the food is prepared and cooked without all the narration. I love that you put just enough pertinent information on the screen to let us know just the things we need to know. I also like your chit chat on the other channel of yours where you eat the food you've prepared but here on the Early American It is so nice just to watch in silence and hear the crackling of the fire and the crowing of the rooster from time to time.
Solo hizo falta un poco de manteca de cerdo, un pedazo de queso fresco, una salsita recién hecha y unas tortillas de harina para esos frijoles refritos 😍 hahaha. ¡Saludos desde México! 🇲🇽❤️
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Justine and Ron !!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! So interesting to see the things people used to eat and how they had to cook them.
You look so festive and so does your cabin. Merry christmas
Oh how I like to hear the crackling from the fireplace!! 🙂
Outstanding. Appreciate your efforts for us.
Justine and Ron you look so cute in your matching hats! I'm so happy you like them. Merry Christmas to you both!
Just when I thought you couldn't be any more fabulous!! Merry Christmas Justine and Ron! ❤❤❤
Merry Christmas Kerri❤
Hello, I wish you a Merry Christmas
Um Grande abraço pra vcs do Brasil🇧🇷
🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿 .
A good meal today ! Very good meal back then.
Aww! I loved the history of Christmas and Santa at the end. I was looking for some holiday vibes this morning to get me into the holiday mood and you guys delivered as always. Watching the tasting video over on the other channel next! Merry Christmas and happiest of new years ❤
So enjoy these lovely cooking films. I love the different pots and pans and how they are used on the open fire. Hi from West Wales.
Truly enjoyable. Merry Christmas and Season's Blessings to all.
My goodness you are a wiz at cooking on an open fire, respect, and all the food you cooked looks delicious
Merrie Christmas! Lovely food and neat history lesson! :)
Thank You! Have a Merry Christmas and a Bright New Year!
Tbat goose pie looked delicious! I enjoyed this Christmas video, especially the history on St. Nicholas. Also, as a traditional Catholic, I enjoyed the midnight Mass history. Many Catholic churches still have midnight Masses today. A very Merry Christmas to you both! ❤
Merry Christmas hope too see more in the new year
Merry Christmas to Justine and Ron! I hope the food nourishes as much as it nourished us watching you prepare these meals.
I am 76 years old and I enjoy want you guys do so much. It is so educational but also a joy to see what you do. God Bless!
I LOVE your explanation of the history of Santa Claus at the end! Thank you for being accurate and interesting! (I did not know there was an English queen before Victoria that had a Christmas tree). Thank you for this!
I have never heard of fried black eyed pea cakes. I would not have thought they would stick together without egg or something. Will have to try sometime. That goose pie looked delicious. Thank you as always for your interesting and relaxing videos. Happy Advent and a Merry Christmas to you both!
I will admit I do not watch this channel a lot but every now and then I think of it and watch another video. This time it happened to be on Christmas and got to watch another family have a special feast. Merry Christmas everyone!
Awesome job you have come along way in your skills.
I still eat these recipes today with a few changes of seasonings.
Thank you for the wonderful historical explanation of St. Nick /Santa ! Merry Merry and Happy Happy to you!
I love the surrounding noises..clicking of the pots, fire crackling, water pouring slowly.
I just ❤ the cabin it's so cozy and decorated just perfect.☃️
Loved the video and the story of St. Nick! Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2024!!🎄🎅
New sub here -
This is simply amazing!
So lovely to see history preserved.
You must be a historian buff to know exactly what to incorporate to make this incredible creative masterpiece work.
I've always felt drawn to that era and 50's era for some reason. I was raised in a family with a deep passion for history and creativity. My late Father was the history buff, he was so brilliant and interesting. My brother use to be involved with Civil War renactments. My Father would had been fascinated with your work.
The cabin is so charming, cozy, calming and wholesome. It provides a essence of safety, assurance, and a strong sense nostalgia watching you. Measuring that world inside of that cabin to the world of today inside homes brought tears to my eyes. I know during that era they had their own set of hardships, struggles, heartaches, tragedies, and problems but not most everything and society of humanity was tainted like today.
Thank you for capturing the 1800's so brilliantly and sharing it with us all. We get to experience a sense of it. It's definitely a educational learning curve for me. I just love watching you prepare the meals, to watch what was used and how it was used, it's so interesting. Blessings to you and yours 💛🙌🦋
Your channel is so comforting, I love that you just have the background noise, my favourite is the fire crackling and the sizzle of cooking in the pan 😊
I'm loving the sounds of it all, just the whole scene it's lovely and homely. And I can smell that delicious cooking from across the pond 🇬🇧
I love your cooking videos I come to watch them when I have a headache or am feeling down I specifically love the sounds of the chickens the most I live in a rural area in Florida and we have some chickens I love hearing them I don't care what time it is I just love their sound it's soothing also love the sound of crows thank you for making these videos very soothing and comforting
I would absolutely love to spend time in the golden days. I love history and had grand parents that were born in late 1800so this is a big part of my young life. I would love to find one of the dough bowls that is usable I always had a big bread bowl. Through reasons that I need to forget I lost all my good baking stuff. Love your trough. You guys are awesome. Hugs and happy Holidays
Hi! This was so beautiful to watch. I believe it is very important for us to know why we are celebrating what we celebrate and not just do it without any more explanation. Thank you for showing us how people cooked for Christmas long ago and also a bit of history behind it all. 🙂
Wouldn’t be an Early American post without Justine spilling! 😂 Wishing the merriest of Christmases and a happy, healthy new year to you both.
Love the dedication to the times with clothes and settings. The food looks amazing and the use of cast iron is so refreshing! Please keep up the good work!❤
I love that outdoor oven it’s really nice. I just loved your Christmas Special it was so much fun. Thank you Justine and Ron.❤
im re-doing my whole life 1800s themed, and i think it started with your videos haha
I love watching you cook. Merry Christmas to you guys! ❤️
Merry Christmas to Justine and Ron! May your new year be blessed with love, family, and your new home! 🎄🎁✝️
