Real Fix

Credit: SWNS / GubbaTV TV  Meet the woman who lives outside 24/7 and eats ROADKILL so animals don't "die in vain".  Manders Barnett, 32, has been living in a tent for the last four years and has always felt her "heart and soul belongs to nature".  She left her job as a wildlife technician behind when she met a man living a nomadic lifestyle and felt a pull to join him.   They travelled 500 miles from Idaho to Oregon, in the US, living off-grid together – but she has since separated from her friend and is living alone.

00:00 Everybody's happy, including the chickies and myself.

00:03 I absolutely love this applesauce.

00:04 That time of the year to make some

00:07 homemade canned cranberry juice.

00:09 First thing I'm gonna do is wash them

00:11 to get them ready for canning.

00:13 I will be using wide mouth pint jars.

00:16 I am simmering the lids here for sterilization.

00:18 I'm also gonna simmer my cranberries in water.

00:21 I just feel like this makes the juice taste better,

00:22 but this isn't a necessary step.

00:25 You don't have to do this,

00:26 but I'm gonna use 3/4 cup cranberries per pint jar.

00:31 So I'm just gonna fill up the jar like that

00:33 and then add an 1/8 cup of sugar

00:35 and then fill up the water to a 1/2 inch head space

00:39 and then use a rag with white vinegar to clean the rim

00:43 so it doesn't impede the seal with the lid.

00:46 Put the lids on, put the jars in the canner, get it boiling,

00:50 and then I'm gonna put the lid on

00:51 and can these for 25 minutes.

00:55 After they're done, I'm gonna take them out

00:56 and let them sit on the counter for 24 hours.

00:58 Then after four to six weeks,

01:00 when they're this dark and beautiful color,

01:01 they are able to enjoy.

01:02 Come and make some homemade applesauce with me.

01:05 So I had all these farm apples just hanging out

01:08 and I was like, why not make some applesauce?

01:10 Yum.

01:11 I used ground allspice, cinnamon, and clove

01:14 to spice up my applesauce.

01:15 The first thing I did was wash my apples,

01:18 but then I was like, I'm peeling my apples,

01:20 so why the heck do I need to wash them?

01:22 So I think that was the only apple batch that I washed.

01:25 You can also use bruised apples like this.

01:27 I did because these bruised apples,

01:29 even though they're damaged, they're perfect to me.

01:31 And then you chop up the apples like I did here

01:35 and you're gonna put all of your apples into a pot

01:38 and then take that pot, put it on the oven,

01:40 put some water in there to keep your apples from scorching.

01:43 And then for about 20 minutes,

01:44 you cook the apples till they're soft.

01:46 And then you take a masher and you mash them up

01:49 to the consistency you like.

01:50 And I don't know about you, I like chunky applesauce.

01:53 I added all of my spices right here.

01:55 I almost lost the lid to the cloves.

01:57 That would have been so bad.

01:59 But clove, so stinking yummy.

02:01 I love clove, 100% would recommend

02:03 adding it to your applesauce.

02:05 And then here's me posing with it.

02:05 It was so yummy.

02:06 The best part is all these apple peels

02:08 get to go to my chickies.

02:11 They are so spoiled.

02:12 I put some other greens on there.

02:13 Like, I don't really eat greens, so they get my greens.

02:16 Here comes the chickies.

02:17 I think everybody's happy, including the chickies and myself.

02:21 And I absolutely love this applesauce.

02:23 Okay, bye.

02:24 (upbeat music)

02:26 (upbeat music)

02:29 (upbeat music)

02:32 you
