Making Butter

We have been enjoying making, and eating, homemade butter from farm fresh, grass fed cream.  Usually when I make it I get a nice lump of butter and some buttermilk, but this week the cream was so rich and thick (I had to spoon it out of the jar!) that basically everything turned into butter with hardly any buttermilk left. 




I decided to freeze this batch for winter time- delicious, healthful, summer butter in the dead of winter.   Butter from healthy, pastured cows is full of nutrients- read all about them here.  And it tastes great!

  1. We used to always make our own butter. Now we go through so much it just isn't time or cost efficient. We still whip up a batch for special meals. The kids love to roll it in a jar on the floor. The cream we get is so wonderful there is scarcely ever buttermilk left. If we get some KK loves to drink it and everyone loves pancakes made with fresh buttermilk.

    Glad to see you about. Hope all are well in your world.

  2. I make it in the stand mixer and it whips up really quick! The buttermilk makes great mashed potatoes too :o)
