Two days ago, I decided to try my hand at making home-made butter. I had bought some cream at the grocery store about a week ago just for this venture. The other day, I figured it was the best time to try this out.
Youtube videos make it look really easy to make. In actuality, it was a little hard to do at first. But once I got the hang of it. It seemed simple enough.
I did the shaking in a bottle type of churning. Another video showed that it's a lot faster if you use a beater. I think I'll do the beater churning. Then I'll opt for the shaking churning when there is a blackout.
What I liked about this experiment. I made more butter than I needed at a lesser cost. It's a lot creamier and white, than I expected. Mine doesn't have all the oils added to it, like the commercial butter that are sold in stores. Also, I did not add salt to my butter. It taste good, just the way it is.
Cool new homesteading skill...
