[Sca-cooks] Re: Making butter

[Devra at aol.com]

You can also use a pint or quart glass jar with a good tight lid (mayo?) to make butter.  This is a good project for younglings with excess energy.  Put the cream into the jar, fasten the lid tightly, and shake.  And shake.  And shake.  Pass it to the next kid.  Shake...  Eventually the crumbs of coagulated fat come together in a sloppy mess, which you then wash and knead and squeeze under cold running water to remove as much buttermilk as possible.  Salt if you like, then chill.

 If your butter wept, maybe you didn't wash quite all the buttermilk out.
