SC - butter?

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

hi all from Anne-Marie

re: making butter...

I have found that its important to do it long enough...it will make a big
lump, not just a heavy slurry. If you try and wash it too early it will
disappear down the drain :(. washing it in COLD water helps some.

also, its important to realize (we all know this already, right?) that's
the jar method isnt how medieval people did it, right? We see lots of
medieval illos of people (almost always women) churning butter. You can buy
a medieval looking or modern style churn yourself from Lehmans, though with
the Y2K thang, I understand they're more than a little backordered on
everything.

hope this helps!
