Kevin thanks for being the modern day home economics class. Your videos are priceless and everlasting. Thanks for being our life teacher and coach 😊
Life teacher? Life coach? That's a bit strong, don't you think?
@@tombroughton6757 Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks for respecting mines. Good Day to you
Sure miss my mom's freezer jam...nothing like it! She used the yellow box too😊❤
@@tombroughton6757 depends on perspective
"Like folding a business letter." Well, Kevin, your aim is obviously the over 50 crowd. 😘
No. All ages love Kevin😊
All ages may love Kevin but only those aged 50.or older know what a business letter is.
@@lesliecas2695some of us in our early 30s learned how to format, write, and fold a business letter in school although we have rarely if ever used that knowledge as adults 😆
@@RJ-wj4el Lighten Up Calm Down😄
‘While clutching your pearls’ 😂 that was a good belly laugh! Thank you❤
And a heck of a lot of sugar😂. I’ve never made jam that way before seeing this, nice to learn another way.
😂
By the way, I use the recipe, but started using the liquid pectin for 100% success. This Jam has the most perfect flavor and consistency.
What does that mean ?
@@AnneMeijlaers “clutching “ one’s pearls is like saying affronted about something unsubtle or even considered inelegant, a consternation against something that goes out of the usual norms.
I cackled, too, about that. 🤦🤣 Happy pride everyone! 😁👍👍
When I GET ANXIETY I WATCH your videos to calm myself love your beautiful home something I used to dream of. Thanks for all your recipes and tips. I actually dust my walls now lol
Kevin, I lived in Atlanta for many years all my relatives are from there but I spent 27 in Florida. You will enjoy my grandma’s recipe.
1 cup of full fat butter milk
1/3 cup of mayonnaise
2 cups Gold Medal Self-Rise flour
Blend mayonnaise in buttermilk throughly. Pour into flour. It will be a very think wet batter. Put 1 cup of the self rise flour in a 2 “ deep brownie pan then dump the dough in there and flow over letting the flour coat the batter, and fold about 6-8 times until you can mash it to 1 1/2” thick. Then cut out your biscuits and bake them in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes until light golden brown brushing them liberally with melted butter. (You will never know there is Mayo in the recipe. For a more tangy biscuit, Dukes Mayo is marvelous.
YOU’RE WELCOME!
I will have to try your grandma's recipe!
My mom also used mayonnaise when she made dinner rolls
I love making homemade biscuits! When my daughter was small, she always loved eating the butter and the flour even before the biscuits were cooked. But the very last biscuit, I didn’t cut it with the biscuit cutter, was formed by hand into the “ugly biscuit“ and my daughter always loved to eat the “ugly biscuit“ as it always had some extra crispy points on it. And it was a special biscuit 😉 Thanks for the wonderful memory! 😊
Wonderful story!
@@kevinleejacobs1364 hope you’re staying safe where you are in New York. I am in Southern New Hampshire. Thankfully we only got a little bit of rain and thunder. Can’t wait for the next video!
Whilst clutching your pearls - thank you from a long line of women who wear pearls and for many that it is tradition to wear their pearls when flyfishing. Namaste.
Good morning Kevin. We love you!
My mother puts the strawberries in a pan ( more than a kilo) with a few tablespoons of sugar (very little) and boils the fruit whole and let's it boil slowly until she likes the consistency (pieces of strawberries and not totally pureed). Nothing g else. She boils the jars and fills it and closes it tightly. She does the same with apricots and peaches😊
I'm thrilled your channel has done so well, Kevin! You bring an elegant, gentle spirit to your videos, and it's lovely to see a gentleman sharing his passion for beautiful flowers, home styling and good, old-fashioned comfort cooking! Best wishes from Sarah xo (Victoria, Australia)
And best wishes from sydney ❤️💚💜💙❤️
Good morning! Always so delighted to see your new content! Thank you so much for sharing! 💯👍
In Germany, there is sugar especially for jams with 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, i.e. one part sugar, 3 parts fruit. The sugar contains gelatine. Less sugar, less sweet and fewer calories!
This would be appreciated if you could share a recipe for jams i.e. one part sugar, 3 parts fruit. Thank you!
I started using Pomona instead of regular pectin. It requires way less sugar and produces delicious jams!
Kevin, I absolutely adore you! You are the most elegant man, yet so very down to earth. Your food is so fabulous, yet not at all pretentious. So glad my sister discovered your videos and mentioned them to me. Thank you for being you!
That’s one think I also like about @KevinLeeJacobs - he is not pretentious! Keeping a lovely home is a lot of work, and he shows us the work behind keeping a lovely home.
How different today's flower arrangement, not of your usually close-clustered comfortable crowd of blossoms; but rather, a loose & airy pinning of petaled stalks that cleanly separates off each flower -even of those identical- from the other, highlighting [ their ] pure individuality. / Happy days of hours & always best of health. // D.C
Everything about your channel, especially you, makes us feel good. No wonder you have 114,000 friends!❤
kevin your flower arrangements are always so lovely! thank you for sharing this recipe with us looks heavenly 🫶🏽
Gotta find my pearls!
Kevin you made me laugh when you said “While clutching your pearls “ when you were adding the four cups of sugar. I do find organic strawberries at my local supermarket. Thank you. You always make my day. My mom made delicious biscuits; it brought me good memories.
We have a small farmers market where we get fresh strawberries during the season. Unfortunately the season is just about over. Don’t know why, but your videos make me very emotional. Thank you.
Emotional in a good way, I hope!
@@kevinleejacobs1364 There’s something very touching about it all; the music, your house, being an animal lover, your gardens. It’s lovely.
This actually feels like I’m invited to your tea party. Thank you for sharing this precious moment with us!
Hi Kevin i am a new subscriber and very happy to have discovered your fabulous channel,i have alot of catching up and looking forward to doing so,you have a extremely calming voice and have such a beautiful personality, lots of love from Ireland ❤
Welcome friend
Welcome! You will enjoy it here 😊
Welcome to you.
Welcome, I’m rather new too and have nearly finished watching all Kevin’s videos. Absolutely adore this Channel.
@@stacylamb5607 Thank you❤️
We’re in southern British Columbia and strawberries are in season now. We have the sweetest, reddest berries this time of year.
I can’t be bothered with the flavourless, white-centred grocery store ones.
Thanks for another great video. ❤😊
I clutched my pearls looking at all that sugar . lol . I can get local strawberries at the farm . At a previous job I had . A pt had a small farm and I bought eggs and whatever she had fresh from her and her husband . Her strawberries were so delicious and were fragrant like the ones you have . I also have a local farm market that has them too .
That flower arrangement is fabulous and the food too.
Love your informative videos. You have a beautiful home.
Dear Kevin,your videos are a nightcap for me in India .....lovely flower arrangement....you are not only self effacing but a really aesthetic person....
Yes, it is strawberry season here, and I will surely make the jam....thank you so much.
By the way, you are wearing my favorite shirt😊
I'm so glad I wore my pearls today so that I could clutch them dramatically when you added the sugar! 😄 Thank you for another fun video!
Dear Kevin, I love your gorgeous videos! Thank you so much!❤❤❤
I so enjoy your videos! I could watch you all day…but then I wouldn’t get my gardening, cooking, cleaning done. So I allow an hour of my Kevin each early morning. What a wonderful way to start my day! Thank you so much for all you do for me!
what a wonderful morning treat ! hope you're doing well kevin and thanks for sharing !!
I have always mashed mine with a potato masher as I don't particularly like to wash the food processor equipment. I don't use a dishwasher.
Your arrangements always look unique & better than professional as they reflect your personality as you choose them, & that makes the flowers even more special when you share them with us. Biscuits & jam looked delicious!
Thank you for inviting us into your home. You make me feel special as you set the table and "we" ready for tea. The blue and white theme is relaxing. We can almost smell and taste the biscuits. Camera person does an excellent job.
Very relaxing video - Thanks
I’m going to try out your recipes with my kids. I’m still trying to find the perfect biscuit recipe.
Thanks for mentioning there is a no-less sugar pectin! I love jam but would rather have less sugar! I love those screw on jar lids too.
Hello from Berlin, Germany. Lovely flowers and marmelade. Thanks Kevin and many greetings, Monika
Tu a mis beaucoup de surcre...dans les fraises jacob..vous aurez pus mètre de tasses.. suffisant.de laisser.les fruits.neutres..avec son fructose naturel... merci..pour❤
Sometimes CZcams gets it right ! I’ve never been so happy with a CZcams suggestion than I am with yours ! You’re a delight and I so look forward to your videos. I am watching all the old ones when I can as well.
I love making strawberry freezer jam every season! And the biscuits look wonderful! Thanks so much! 😊
Your music brings me so much peace and joy
Hi Kevin, I don’t drive anymore so I thoroughly enjoy your drives to Tierra Farms and the other stores. You live in a very pretty part of the country.
Honestly Kevin, I could watch you all day long!! Love this new episode! I really enjoy going back and watching all your previous episodes.
Love your show Kevin, love making any kind of jam or jelly here, from dandelion to strawberry they are all good! Nice to see your "clutch your pearls" moment, so many people panic over the amount of sugar used in jam making but they never seem to realize your not eating a cup of jam with each serving, actual portion size the sugar is quite low!
I'd like to see your take on making bannock or fry bread when your serving your jam, a traditional first nations "bread" that has an incredible flavor and elevates the flavor of jams and jellies too!
Morning Kevin
Never made jam. I may try it. It looks so easy. Have a nice day.
A Sunday 🚗 drive through the beautiful countryside...return home with 💐 flowers and then make biscuits with jam. A perfect sunday...thank you Kevin😊
Sundays at Kevin's house. Having my coffee while visiting. Beautiful produce at the farm store, and fun to see Harry the greeter dog at work. I love the bouquet you created. Maybe you can use the Veronica flower in a Forth of July bouquet, kind of looks like a firework. Lovely summer bouquet. The strawberry jam looks delicious with the creme fraiche and biscuits. Orange spice tea seems like the perfect accompanying beverage. Kevin, I reached for my pearls, but forgot to put them on yet today. I have made apple jam before, with sliver chunks of apple in it. But I processed it in hot water. Fun, but a project. I will have to try making strawberry freezer jam. It's definitely strawberry season right now around here. The fresh summer strawberries taste wonderful! Blueberries start in early to mid July. I have a friend who grows blueberries and will probably go and spend part of a day picking blueberries. Actually a relaxing activity, but I end up munching on blueberries while picking them. Anyway, thank you for the video. Enjoy your Sunday and see you next time.♥️💐🌸💮🍓🍰🫖🫐🌼🐕
Kevin, I found you a couple of months ago and have been enjoying all your videos. I am now going through all your old videos and found the one with cabbage and eggs. I made it and love it. It will be a new recipe for me to be making quite often. Thanks again for all the videos. I love all the farm stores you go to. I live in the Midwest and I don't have anything like those around me I wish I did. Made a few more of your recipes.
I enjoy watching your videos, you are very good at arranging flowers, i also like the music in the background ❤
It's been so long since I made jam with sugar, I'd forgotten how much sugar goes into it. I use Pamona pectin. Since I don't use sugar, the jam isn't as loose as those with added sugar. For a bit of sweetness, I add a bit of monkfruit sweetener. Mine isn't as sweet as regular jam, but very tasty and much healthier. I eat mine for breakfast daily, so I need a jam that's less of a treat food.
It´s good afternoom from me , 17.10h here. Will be watching later but wanted to say that i realy love your video's. Always something to learn. Have a nice sunday all.
Always enjoy my Plant City Fl fresh Strawberry's. Big, giant, juicy and red. This jam recipe is one that I am looking so forward to using. My plan is to make at least 36 half pint jars. This jam is also going to be excellent to use on banana splits, or to mix with plain yogurt as a fruit dip, also as a dressing for spinach salad. YUM. Love you Kevin, keep those streams a coming. I'd be lost without them.
Saludos desde Santa Fe, Argentina 🇦🇷
I' ve enjoyed spending tía with you, Kevin.
Delicious biscuits 🍓🍁
Thank you for making my life more rich because of your videos - 9pm Gander Newfoundland Canada
Nothing looks as lovely as fresh flowers in a home. Your berries look so nice I can almost smell them too. Nothing tastes as good as homemade jam, whether it be on biscuits, toast, sandwiches or ice cream.
I have never made freezer jam. I usually make the cooked type, but the freezer type definitely looks easier. I have a recipe that I got from a Kraft Foods magazine they used to put out yrs ago for Strawberry Banana Jam. It is my absolute favorite. We have a couple of pick your own Strawberry places around here. That's generally where I get my strawberries for jam.
У вас очень красивая музыкальная комната. И прекрасный чайный сервиз.
I've also seen recipes for Southern biscuits made with cream cheese. A tempting idea.
Lovely choice of flowers Kevin ❤
You came from heaven with all those delightful biscuits and frangrant orange tea!!!!!!!! 😀😀😀Missing the kittens today!!! 😺😺😺
I love the way you scurry down the front steps 😃
Everything looks so good! When I make strawberry jam, I add in some Prosecco. It’s a family favorite that adds a little something special! 😊
The countryside in your area is so beautiful. You may want to try making biscuits with heavy whipping cream. When I am in a hurry for biscuits, I use only two ingredients-White Lily self-rising flour and heavy whipping cream-I just pour the heavy whipping cream into the flour a little bit at a time until I get the right consistency; then, proceed as with any other biscuit recipe. These biscuits turn out perfect every time!!! I usually use two cups of flour and about a cup of heavy whipping cream-this is a very easy amount to work with.
Sorry, can't read all the comments. I believe the white flower is bishop's weed and the other is variegated euonymus...but can't tell on the screen. I enjoy your channel - you come across as talented yet humble and sincere.
Your flower arrangements are always beautiful! Your table setting is very inviting and welcoming. Would love to have afternoon tea with you... 💙🌿💙
4 cups of sugar did make me clutch my pearls! I will make it anyways, because we all know that the low sugar will taste exactly that!
Hi Kevin, I live in Oregon. We have Hood strawberries here. They are tiny, sweet & expensive. The grocery stores here do not carry them. Our grocery stores only carry the giant beautiful yet flavorless California strawberries. I don't use pectin to make strawberry jam. I cook equal parts strawberries & sugar with a splash of lemon juice. I'm allergic to fresh fruits and vegetables but can eat them cooked or canned. That's why I cook my strawberries. You gave me a good idea though. Next time I make jam I will put them through the blender first. That way I won't have to mash them. Thank You, and as usual, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep them coming, Hope you have a wonderful summer. Chin Chin
❤❤❤
Kevin, we have two strawberry farms near us. One is run by the Tuttle family and it is in my hometown. The other is Rudd's Farm and it is in Greensboro, NC. They both have absolutely delicious strawberries, and we look forward every spring to strawberry season. I use the same jam recipe as you with the regular pectin and suger.
Hey to you from Browns Summit, NC!! Rudd's is great!

Watching from a cold sydney 🇦🇺❤️💚💜
The variegated greenery is a shrub called euonymus. There are several types. Euonymus lends itself very well for infilling floral .arrangements. in my garden I cut ifninto topiary. It makes nices shapes and is evergreen, so great for winter interest
I have wanted to make jam. Now I will try this tomorrow Absolutely love afternoon tea . Always had clotted cream in England.Harry is cute , would love to have him greet me and the floral arrangement is lovely. Fun to see Avery checking on Dad. Locally most strawberries are shipped from other states. We have a couple of farms that offer strawberries, not organic. I usually purchase at Sprouts.
I make the jam that stores on a shelf, I wouldn't have the freezer space or I would try this recipe! It looks great! Looks like a lot less trouble this way!
I grow some strawberries, however, I went to my local farm to buy a big enough amount to make jam. I can mine but use the same sure-jell yellow box too. I also had homemade biscuits with strawberry jam earlier today. I think your flower arrangements always look very pretty. Your videos are so calming.
Reminds me I need to make my freezer strawberry-rhubarb jam. I never use pectin anymore. It's expensive and doesn't always work, so I just cook it longer. 🥰
Flowers are lovely. My brother owned a flower shop for 30 some years and when we delivered a a soft flowers we always put a tsp of bleach in the water then and after every change this helped prevent slimy leaves and stocks also kept the water clear. Thx for all your great videos 🇨🇦
Wonderful. I love biscuits. Thank you for taking us on a drive again. You live in such a beautiful area. We do get excellent strawberries at our local farmers market. The ones at our grocery store aren't great. Multiple varieties are sold in farmers markets here in Oregon. My favorite is the Mary's Peak variety. We have beautiful cherries and peaches too. Thank you for another calming bit of serenity in this crazy world.
I use strawberries in several jams and don’t use pectin. In strawberry rhubarb jam I simmer it for 30 minutes or so before putting it in jars for the water bath canner. Texture is not totally firm but is fine for toast. Other strawberry jams I make have natural pectin from either blueberries, cranberries or apples and the sugar amount is about half that of the fruit. Your videos are wonderful. The word ethereal comes to mind. Thank you for all your work to bring us moments of grace and serenity.
I haven't had a flavorful strawberry in years!!! Your jam looks delicious!
Greetings from South Africa.
**Clutching my pearls!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 ALL THAT SUGAR!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im in love with the Berry Farm store! everything look so fresh... and the flowers!!! I grow up having a 5 o'clock tea with scones at my grandma's house. Thank you! you did bring me beautiful memories.
White lace-cap hydrangea I think.The biscuits and jam look so inviting . Thanks for the recipes.
I think you do a great job at arranging the flowers. actually very good. decorating with flowers gives me great joy. Good job!!
I always wanted to make homemade jelly! Thank you so much for the recipe! I will also try the biscuits. Looks fabulous!
Your jam looks wonderful Kevin. I can't wait to try it. The biscuits look so golden and delicious. You always make the table so elegant and inviting. I look forward to your next video.
I do believe that I will try your jam recipe and find perfect strawberries like you used. Thank you for including the car ride with the beautiful countryside drive.
Your biscuits turned out perfectly Kevin. I also make freezer jam but the product I use does not require adding the pectin separately and it only calls for 1 1/2 cups of sugar to 4 cups of prepared berries. It is delicious! I also do freezer peach jam when in season. Lovely episode as always. Thank you.🙏❤️🍓🍓
Kevin, some of the greens you bought, are plants that will easily grow in your garden. (the green white, yellow) ) sorry for my english, i am danish. take good care
Great job thanks for all your lovely amazing amazing and classy videos you put out it’s what the world needs now
I keep my pearls close to my heart.
I have never had an American biscuit. I need to bake some asap! Thank you for the video!
The square cake stand is just stunning! Royal Albert Moonlight Rose pattern tea set? It just elevates the treat. Thank you for sharing your lovely table.
I’m sitting here watching your video and I swear I can smell strawberries! 🍓🍓🍓
I am finally writing you. You and all you do inspire me greatly. I have been watching and always forget to subscribe (now I did). I am a native Nréw York City girl living in Frankfurt, Germany. I know Upstate NY well. When I watch you drive here and there, I can literally recall the wonderful smells of Upstate New York. New York will always be in my heart. Watching you brings back such wonderful memories. You are such an inspiration to me for the way in which you live. Respect. I have tried many of your recipes and use many of your ideas. I watched an older podcast and I saw that you had a beagle. I baby sit or beagle sit for a beagle who is the love of my like. Avery (name correctly spelled ?), is also a cutie. Thank you so very much for sharing you life with us and please continue to do so.
I really enjoyed watching you make the jam and biscuits! I live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania! Our strawberries are less sweet this year than usual because of the unusually warm and dry weather! They are always a treat, regardless! Take care my friend! ❤️
Oh Kevin I am so envious of your local markets. What a great idea using coconut oil in biscuits. Since I have some I will try this. I haven't made freezer jam in 40 years and yes our grocery berries taste like cardboard. I love all of your videos. Stay well and I look forward to your next post.
You remind me of Mr. Rogers in your manner of presentation. Believe me, that’s a compliment.
Thank you, for yet another inspiring video. Love the garden and layout. Beautiful area to live in.
I made 24 jars today and used Club House low sugar freezer jam jelly,,,,, it is very good, i used 4 cups of strawberries to 1 cup of sugar... we love less sugar jams, but i learned something new today tho... mash the strawberries in the food processor ! I had 2 flats of strawberries from our local farm.....took me 5 hrs , it was a rainy day , perfect for jamming 😊
