 Hi, this is Chichou. Welcome to my channel. What I thought we'd do in this video is have breakfast together. Now if you recall in a bunch of previous videos that I put together, I showed you guys how I end up making crab apple butter. And I had a couple people ask me how I eat crab apple butter. So I figured this was a pretty good opportunity for breakfast and I do eat crab apple butter fair bit for breakfast and I do snack on it throughout the day every now and then. Well, fairly often actually. So I figured I'd show you the three basically main ways that I do eat crab apple butter. So just in case if you come across it, if you plan on making some crab apple butter, you'll have an appreciation of what you can do with it and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of other things that you can do with it. I know some people comment that you can cook with it. I think with roast, it went well if I recall correctly. Some people posted comments. But let me show you the main ways that I end up eating crab apple butter. And if you recall the videos that we made, the crab apples that I made, the first batch of crab apple butter with, they were red, right? And we ended up making these guys sort of a nice reddish tint to them, right? Now one thing that happened later on the summer was when I went to a music festival and we put up like three videos, two or three videos on Sufi Worling when I went to the festival. If you watch those videos, you know what I'm talking about. When we went to the small town where this festival was at, we actually came across two other large crab apple trees and they were like full of crab apples. So what we ended up doing was picking a whole bunch of crab apples almost twice as much as what I had for the red batch that we made, what I showed you. And I actually sort of went about sort of making another video of cleaning these new batch of crab apples that I bought. It was basically, not bought, that I picked. It was basically a video that I was making for the politics. Some people asked me what my take was on politics and the elections and stuff like this. So I figured we'd clean crab apples and talk about politics. But that take, that was my first take on the politics video and I went off on too many runs. So I ended up putting up, you know, doing another take and a third take basically is the one that I loaded up on my channel and that's the one you see when there is no crab apples being cleaned, right? So the second batch of crab apples I made, they're more yellow oranges. Let me show you what these both look like, right? This was from the one you saw with the crab apples making crab apple butters red and this is the orange one. And I think consensus is that we like the orange one better. I'm not sure why, this one, the red one is really good but it's fairly strong. So let me show you, you know, because I'm going to use both of these crab apples because I love the color. So this is a fresh batch, fresh jar that I just cracked open because since we had a lot more of this one, we've been eating this one a lot. This one, the red one, we sort of went ballistic at the beginning or supplies dwindled a fair bit, right? So one way that I eat crab apples and once you crack them open, I keep them in the fridge but one way I eat crab apples is if I have a craving for something, just something tart, something sweet, just working at home and just need something, some kind of flavor, I just go to the fridge and basically take a jar either this one or the orange one that we have and I just usually take a spoonful and I just incredibly tart this one, incredibly tart. Okay, very delicious. So that's one way I eat crab apples and you never, never double dip, right? So let's put this spoon on the side and here's the batch that we're almost finished of the orange one and this one, definitely have a spoonful as well, right? Same deal but less tart. It's got more of a sweetness to it and what we did for this batch when I made it, when we made it, I added a little bit of cinnamon. I broke it up into two different batches so this one is the one with cinnamon in it and this one is the one without the cinnamon in it and the red one didn't have any cinnamon either I don't think we put any cinnamon in it. So we have sort of three different flavors of crab apple. So that's one way I eat crab apples during the day I just come over to the fridge and pick up a spoon and just eat a little spoonful it's extremely delicious and it gives you a fair bit of energy. It's got the sugar and whatnot. Now another way that we eat crab apples is on toast. Okay, use this one. And I'd like, you know, let me show you this, I sort of prepped this. This is sourdough, okay? Sourdough bread and I put feta cheese on it and this is sort of a seedy bread and it's got tons of seeds in it and above it and this is sort of old fort cheese. So what I end up doing usually, if I'm having toast, sometimes I do eat it by itself just toast and crab apples but basically take a spoonful or a little bit more maybe. Oops, I should show you this, I guess. Take a spoonful and I sort of spread this on top of the one with feta. Feta and crab apples. Wow, so, so good. Fantastic, right? Now when I eat it with the cheddar, I don't put the cheddar on first because with the feta you can spread it so it's fairly solid on there. With the cheddar, I usually put the crab apples first, right? Should we do the red one? Let's do the red one. Actually, I haven't had the red one for a while now because I've been going ballistic with the orange one and you can see the color difference there. Looks beautiful. Let's use a different knife, cleaner knife, right? So sort of spread that around. By itself, it's amazing and butter, butter, right? So just by itself, fantastic. And the spread is amazing. They put a little bit of a local bakery and in the seedy one, they put a little bit of peppers in there, I think because it makes it a little bit of spicy. And with the cheese, I just laid the cheese on top and I'll finish these toasts up later. I'll show you the next thing that I usually would. So good with the cheddar. With the old cheddar, wow. Fantastic with it. Why don't we finish off this toast? We'll finish the feta one later. Delicious, delicious. Lemon water? Very good. That's a good start, right? Now, let me show you one way that I eat the crab apples a fair bit, which is basically in cereal, okay? So I got my cereal bowl here. I have a pretty big bowl of cereal sometimes. And what I'm going to do is I'm sort of going ballistic with the cereal. I usually don't mix all of these things that I'm about to show you, but why not, right? So let me show you the cereals that I usually eat with. And these are, I like these because they're sort of crunch crunch and they're, you know, like good cereals. It's like a little guy. So there's two different little worldly things here. There's these ones. They're harder. Then there's these ones that are softer. They use different flour in there, I guess, or grains, I guess. I'm not going to bother pronouncing the names. Okay, so that's one batch of. And then I do mix in these ones, too. These ones are rice ones. They're like crumbly. Look at these ones. The little guys. Okay. And these are the flaky cereals that I sometimes use. So there's four different types of cereals going in here. So we're going ballistic with it, right? And what I end up doing is I eat the cereals with yogurt. Okay, so I pour yogurt on top and I use hemp milk. So I'm going to throw in some spoonfuls of yogurt in this. Mix it up. Throw in hemp. Don't eat it all. I sort of mix it around. If you recall, we're sort of sitting in autumn right now. So there's certain fruits that have come out. And if you recall, we put out a couple of videos on autumn olives. So there's a couple of trees locally that we went and picked autumn olives. And these autumn olives last a while if you put them in the fridge. And there's dates here. Okay, chopped up dates. So I do mix in fruits with my cereal. So autumn olive and dates. Let's get all the dates in there. So good. It's like power food. And we got apples and pear. Okay, chopped up. So throw that in there. I do like bananas too in my cereal. And I got hemp seeds. Get a little protein in there. Fair bit of protein actually. So throw in the hemp seeds. So mix this up. End up doing is taking crab apples. Now I'm going to use, I haven't had it with the red one for a long time. So I'm going to use, I'm going to mix them both. Why not? You know, I take a spoonful like this. Put it on the side. Sometimes more. I should put a little bit more. Let's put some of the orange one in there too. Yeah, this is the one. This is the orange one, right? And I don't mix those all around. What I do, I sort of treat it like ramen style, right? Have the stuff mixed here and there's certain things with the ramen, the bamboo shoots, or the seaweed or whatnot, right? If you like those as separate flavors. I sort of, what I do is sort of take a little bit of the crab apples and mix it in with the fruits and the yogurt and off we go, right? So this is one of the main ways. I eat this a few times a week and I definitely take spoonfuls of crab apple on a daily basis basically. And with toast and cheese and stuff every now and then. Not fairly often I guess. Even the snacks during the afternoon, okay? So to answer your questions, this is the way I eat crab apples three of the ways I eat crab apples. And one other thing we did with crab apple this year was we found a recipe online to make crab apple preserve like what you eat with hot food with just like pickles or sauerkraut and stuff, just a side dish and it's amazing. And maybe next year we'll end up going picking crab apples again because we're definitely going to hit up. So we've got three trees right now. We're definitely going to be hitting up these crab apple trees to make a new batch next year. So maybe we'll share that recipe with you because the preserve is absolutely amazing as well. So that's about it. I guess we just sit down and have breakfast, have cereal, right? Enjoy the day. Let's start today.
