Making Butter
Posted by: amazinggraze <amazinggraze@...>
from our cow, but I have seen some places that sell pastuerized,
NON-homogonized milk which would work). Fill your jar half full. Start
shaking. It will grow and become like whipped cream and then almost fill
the jar. Keep shaking. Then it will settle way down again.... KEEP
shaking. Then you will hear liquid swishing around. You should see yellow
butter in white buttermilk. Drain off the buttermilk (this is sweet and
good, not like the cultured type you buy in the store). Then press the
butter with the back of a wooden spoon, folding it over and over, instead of
just pushing down. This expels more buttermilk. Drain that off. Then when
you can't get anymore to come out, rinse in cold water. Then press it again
to get all the water out. Salt if desired mixing it in. It is ready to
eat. Don't leave it out like you can store bought butter. It goes sour
faster.
