Butter me up

We've been milking cows  for 18 years.

Cream. Certified Organic Raw cream.
 But I didn't start making butter until 6 months ago.


Spinning around in a food processor for several minutes
until...
 I thought it was hard.
That it might require effort


It gets thick, really really...
Imagine my surprise


THICK. Stop the food processor. Scoop some whipped cream into a bowl
and add some sweetener. Now go take it into a dark corner
and eat it slowly and uninterrupted.
My shock and Awe



Press that "on" button again and wait..wait...for the
 When I realized all it took

For the fat, the BUTTER, to separate from the liquid, now the
buttermilk.
Was time


Squeeze out the buttermilk and swish the balls of butter
around in icy cold water. Do it again. Yes again
Pat dry. Add a little salt to taste
Cook with it
Saute with it
Bake with it
Eat it with your fingers (if you are 3)
Spread it all over your toast
 All good things take time and are worth WAITING for.
