seperating cream and making cultured butter

[Guest guest]

Ann,

I'm so glad you got some milk!

Our milk guy gave me instructions for making cultured

butter. His wife used to make it occasionally. I

haven't tried to make anything with the milk yet

except yogurt (which didn't set up,) but the recipe

sounded interesting. You might want to ask him about

it- this is what I remember.

Pour the milk into a glass jar and after it's sat out

overnight, skim the cream off with a dipper and put it

in another bowl. Continue to leave the cream and milk

out until they're sour and thick. Put 1 part milk to

every two parts cream in your churning device, and mix

until your butter comes. Then you rinse the butter

under cold water and press it against a bowl with a

wooden spoon to get all the water out. You'll end up

with butter and buttermilk.

We should be moving at the end of next week, so

hopefully we can set up a schedule for keeping each

other in milk. )

Love in Christ,

Alison
