Today we got raw milk at a farm down the road. You can read about that here. Raw Milk Is So Good !
We ladled the cream off the top of the milk into a glass jar.
Harley McFarley our cat, smelled the milk right away and he decided he was going to help. he was already smacking his lips.
After getting Harley down from the counter, we took the jar with the cream, fastened the lid and began to shake it. We made sure the cream stood out for awhile till the temperature got to 66-68 degrees. Paul shook it first for 5 minutes and said nothing was happening. I looked inside and there was whipped cream. Mmmmm is was delicious! I shook it 10 minutes more and at 6 minutes I could hear and feel a lump in the jar. How exciting !
I had no cheese cloth so I used a paper towel and lined a plastic container with it. I pour in the butter and liquids then strained it. I then gently squeezed the excess liquid out of the butter. It was a pretty yellow color.
I took it in to show Paul and his expression was priceless.
He was so thrilled to see the butter. He asked for a roll with butter on it.

Thank you for visiting Little Utah Farm.
Until next time,
I will share this little story. I loved "show and tell" in first and second grade back in 1959-60. My mom taught me how to make butter and I was able to make butter for my class. Mom packed up some Saltines also so we kids could all taste the butter when it was done. She taught me to make a heart cake too. Here is that story How To Make A Heart Cake.

I really am jealous now, but in a good way..lol...I grew up with raw milk, and despite what the FDA has most people believe, none of us ever got sick...I remember being send down to the farmer with two milk cans...the old fashion aluminum ones, and usually returned with less than full cans...had to sip some of so it wouldn't spill, you know, never mind that both cans had tight fitting lids...the milk was still warm from the cow, a rich taste hard to describe, to me...absolutely delicious...
ReplyDeleteMaria, Your story is pricelessthe way you told it here. I can only imagine those aluminum milk cans and the taste of fresh warm milk. Wow ! you come on over to Cedar and you can get some.
DeleteYou are one step ahead of me. I'm not giving up though. I will have to have my own cow to do this. Raw milk is not available within the area here.
ReplyDeleteI am happy for your dreams, Kristina, and I see you with a cow and milking it and drinking that naural raw fresh milk. Woo Hoo !
DeleteI am pleased to here the passion that still exists for natural living. I enjoy reading about your dreams and your experiences.
ReplyDeletePretty neat, hope to see you some day ..... living a couple miles from you.... I think.....
