Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 In the first reply if you have kids they could sit on the floor and roll the jar to each other to mix it. It seems to me there's something like that to roll on the floor to make ice cream.

Hello Everyone, I've made butter (from raw cream) in my Vitamix on several occasions. My first attempt was a bust because there was too much skim milk mixed in with the cream. I started siphoning the skim milk out with a thin plastic tube, but that method was messy. I had posted on this blog and now get email notices of all replies and thought that this one might be of interest to someone… (see below my signature for the forwarded message) Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))>< Begin forwarded message: From: Passionate Homemaking <lindsay@...> Subject: [Passionate Homemaking] New Comment On: Making my own butter!

There is a new comment on the post "Making my own butter!". http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/01/making-my-own-butter.htmlAuthor: Lynn KrogsengComment:Amy, If your containers are plastic (as ours from Dungeness Valley Creamery are), then you might like this method:Very carefully hold the bottle without shaking or blending the cream and milk. Hold the bottle over a wide bowl. Puncture bottom of jug with an ice pick or other pointy instrument. Carefully open the cap and remove it. This will allow the milk to start draining from the bottom. If you are careful not to disturb the contents, the flow will naturally slow as it reaches the cream line. As the milk is drained out, replace the cap and tighten. Then, turn the bottle upside down and open the container over a second bowl to receive the cream.You're ready to make your butter! Personally, I've been satisfied to use a wide mouth mason jar and manually shake the cream while I watch TV or read (or search the internet for soured raw milk uses).See all comments on this post here:http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/2008/01/making-my-own-butter.html#commentsTo manage your subscriptions or to block all notifications from this site, click the link below:http://www.passionatehomemaking.com/?wp-subscription-manager=1 & email=lsavage%40cfl.rr.com & key=9dff7513da67e144a9cdcc901b1aab3a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I use a turkey. Aster to separate cream from my raw milk. It's easy to see when the actual milk starts to come to the surface, so you know when to stop siphoning the cream. > > Hello Everyone, > > I've made butter (from raw cream) in my Vitamix on several occasions.
