Hi there. Hope you are having a glorious day on this beautiful and rainy Saturday. As for me, I love the rainy days. Ok now on to this Saturday post for my blog.
I have a treasure of my heart that was passed down to me from a woman with the most loving heart and soul. She gave love and care to everyone she came in contact with for her entire life. She touched so many in this world and taught me how to love others also.
Anyway, the treasure that she handed down to me, is an old glass butter-churn with wooden paddles in the jar. She was my Mother-in-law and this had been passed down to her through her mom and her mom’s mom. You know, way down the line to me. I treasure this with my life!
All the generations of women in the family made butter in this churn. As I was in the family when my kids were small and all my nieces and nephews (aka all the kids). We had every one of them make butter in this churn. Now they are all grown. But this craft was passed through the generations as I adore doing.
She is a Daze and probably only worth $50.00 but she has a million dollars in memories to me.
The recipe: Heavy whipping cream.
Clean the jar.
Spin the paddle for quite a while until you have a big lump of butter appear. When finished then your pour it through a sieve(strainer) that is lined with cheese-cloth to get the buttermilk out of it. Make biscuits with this buttermilk!
Next, you continue to keep rinsing the butter in the sieve with (cold) water only, until the water runs clear. If you don’t do this washing then your butter will not keep it will go sour.
Wrap in syran wrap or put in covered bowl and keep in fridge.
