Making My Own Butter!!!

As Thanksgiving approaches tomorrow I decided to try something new.  I decided to make my own butter for my turkey this year.  I know you are thinking what I did when this thought came into my head, WHY?  Why would I do this when Organic butter is in every store?  Well, quite honestly because I wanted to see if I could.  I also wanted to see what the flavor difference would be.

I bought extra Organic heavy whipping cream, set up my mixer and got ready for butter.  I put the mixer on high and after about 3 minutes it was whipped topping.  I kept going until the mixture started to separate.  I couldn't believe it!  It really happened.  The liquid and solids really separated.

I strained the solids and put them into cheese cloth and squeezed the rest of the liquid out.  TADA, butter!

After showing them, actually dancing them, across the house to show my husband, he called me Laura Engals.  I think he actually said, "Little House on the Prairie Called....."

It came out delicious!  I even went a step farther to get some thyme and sage from the garden and add them in to it so that I can rub down my turkey tomorrow with it.

This was one of the easiest things to make.  I will be making my own butter from here on.
 
Till Next Blog.....

Happy Thanksgiving!!
