Ever make butter?

Thanksgiving is a great time to cook with butter but the butter snobs out there expect expensive European stuff. That's nuts! Butter is easy to make. Just whip cream too long and it will become butter. When the butter forms just beat it a bit longer and pour off the buttermilk. Then squeeze the butter chunks together and knead it in the same bowl with cold water rinses till the water is clear. Drain and knead out the remaining water. Add salt if you want. If you want the prefermented cream they Yammer about just put some buttermilk in the container of cream the day before. A quart of cream will make quite a bit of butter.

I was born on a farm, that’s all we had back then. We had two butter churns. We had a Jersey cow so had a lot of cream to make butter and whipped cream, etc. with.
