All Buttered Up

A while back I thought it might be fun for the kids to try making their own butter.

I rarely have glass baby food jars but had saved a couple that I did use recently. We filled them with heavy whipping cream and started shaking away. As we were shaking Ardon stated that it should only take 10 seconds not 10 minutes because that's way too long.

After some sharing of shaking responsibilities we ended up with fresh, sweet butter and butter milk. The kids would have finished a loaf of bread just to eat more of the butter and they actually drank the butter milk!

Someone wandered over to see what all the excitement was about.

Mmm, bread and fresh butter is pretty good stuff!
