"He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate."
Genesis 18:8
A Christmas gift from my husband this past Christmas was a butter churn, it was one of my request:)
My family has a great love for "real butter". Here is how I do it:
1. I buy heavy cream, organic, when available, one pint.
2. Pour it into the churn.
3. Crank the handle....(it is best to have help, a.k.a. children or grand children), 15 min. more or less,
can seem like a long time of cranking a handle.
4. Drain off the buttermilk and place the butter in a bowl of ice water, drain and do it again. The butter is soft, now is the time to add salt if desired.
As you know I like gardening, making jams, jellies, canning and making Kombucha...see my older posts for more details.
