We made butter-from the archives

Chas · February 18, 2010 ·

A post from my old blog…
One day last week I remembered that I had bought some heavy cream over the holidays for Moma’s Favorite Cookie, which I am GOING to post the recipe for! REALLY! ๐Ÿ™‚  Well, I thought with this much cream, it would be a good time to show the children how to make butter… well the easy way to make butter.
We pulled out the ole food processor.
Poured in all that cream and turned it on…
There were a few different stages that I told them we would see…
First of all we saw it just as a liquid, as it is as cream.
We would start seeing the cream slowly becoming thicker, until we had it at the whipped cream stage.
They all tried it at this point and sneered… sadly they thought it would taste like cool whip.  Pitiful, huh? I told them at the enormous amounts of ‘stuff’ added to cool whip and this was so much better, and that we could add a little sweetner if we wanted whipped cream, but we want butter!
Keep it moving, keep it moving…
FINALLY!
BUTTER! ๐Ÿ™‚ HURRAH!
Please forgive the skunk stripes down my child’s hair… our New Years Party got a bit crazy! ๐Ÿ™‚ haha
Mmm… this butter is good, Mom!
We even took the buttermilk and put it in a jar to use later and washed the curds with ice water to help get all the milk off so the butter would last longer.
Now a solid. How crazy are we? Doing school when we are supposed to be on holiday? haha… so is the life of a homeschooler.
I hope you have a great day friends.
My Cup Runneth Over…
