Fwd: [Passionate Homemaking] New Comment On: Making my own butter!

[Guest guest]

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)

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
