Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Make your own Butter Put 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream and 1t. salt in a jar. Cap tightly and shake well until most of the liquid becomes solid. Pour off remaining liquid; squeeze the butter lightly to remove additional liquid. Spread and eat!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I no longer use dairy, but my son and I used to do this all the time while he was growing up. We would fill the jar, and place in it a (washed) " old fashioned " (all wooden, no metal parts) clothes pin. (salt is optional.) The agitation from the wooden pin would churn it. It takes *much* longer without the pin, as one time we forgot it! But I imagine filling the jar only half way would give room for the liquid to beat against the jar itself....but of course, you would end up with less butter! My guess is these days, one would have to find those pins in a craft store, rather than where other clothes pins are sold...I have seen folks make " Rudolph's " out of them at Christmas time in recent years, adding small puffs for the nose and such. Oh, and it always turned out solid when we did it, no liquid was left to pour off. I would just pour it right out of the jar into a container to put in the fridge. Well, what was left of it after we attacked it! lol. On 9/19/06, wwjd <jtwigg wrote: > > Make your own Butter > > Put 1/2 pint heavy whipping cream and 1t. salt in a jar.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yes, we made it on a fieldtrip to Pioneer Days with our Homeschool Group. It sure was good.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 That is interesting. I would have never thought about doing it that way. - Thia ....

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Yes, this does indeed work. My cousin used to do this back when he worked at a dairy farm. Once he forgot to add salt though and he didn't like that much... but unsalted butter is good for baking. ~ PT ~ If you focus on results, you will never change.
