Title: Making Butter Our Way
Post by: pitw on November 13, 2008, 10:25:46 PM
Got some cream from the lady who is breeding a couple cow's for me to try and get a Gurnsey milk cow and thought I'd show you how we make butter. 

Start by putting 3.4 litre's cream in churn.

You get 2lbs and 3 oz. of butter that you will never be able to buy in any store.

I don't believe I've ever had any freshly churned butter. That sure looks like it'd be good on a hot biscuit.

I have done that a couple of times and it takes some work.  I am sure that the kids will appreciate it more now that they have had the chance to make their own.

You guys can have the butter. I 'll take the buttermilk.  :eyebrow: 
Just a dash of salt & drink it down!  :yahoo:    Mm mm good!  ;yes;


Guernsey is a good choice for, as we called 'em, a table cow.  Sold that Holstien milk to the city folk.   :eyebrownod:

This is the type I grew up with and if I had a penny for every time I turned that handle I'd buy a tank of gas.  We had three milk cow's most of the time so would make butter 3 time's a week when we were saving up for later.

Boy does that bring back some good memories.  Mom had one like pitw's when I was growing up.  (Wish I knew what ever happened to it) I loved to make butter out on the back porch.  I still remember the taste of that buttermilk.  Dad and I would drink down a glass with a little salt and pepper. Those were the good ole days.   Nothing like the store bought kind today.  I don't think I've had any as good as that in a looooong time.

Thanks for allowing me to reminisce.
