Well, it sounds like you just made sour ...Hi Laura. Well, it sounds like you just made sour cream You can use it like you would for sour cream or you can turn it into butter. The butter will be sour, but that is how they used to do it in the old days, and of course it is better for you if it is soured. I like it, but my kids have a hard time eating butter made from soured cream. It would work great in certain recipes, though, like for mashed potatoes and such. Hope that helps!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JackieCheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-17877575988078717512012-04-11T12:54:20.217-07:002012-04-11T12:54:20.217-07:00Hey jackie - I love your post, and I was wondering...Hey jackie - I love your post, and I was wondering if you could help me? I separated some cream from my raw milk and put it in a jar in the fridge... and have procrastinated doing anything with it for two weeks! Now, said cream has turned SUPER thick! Maybe it is just part of it, but I dipped my finger in and felt like I was touching a thin-sour cream, not liquid. Is it still good? Any ideas on what to do with it? You can e-mail me at laura.of.music@gmail.com. :) Thank you for your help!!!Laura Bickmorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-144024980269922702010-09-10T08:30:15.042-07:002010-09-10T08:30:15.042-07:00Mrs. Yoder,

I keep looking at these molds that Lehman's has but they aren't big enough for me. 2 gallons of milk usually give enough cream for 1# of butter and I like to make it into bricks. <br /><br />BTW, thought I'd share a little tidbit that cuts down on butter washing time: after you drain off the buttermilk, put the butter in the blender with icy cold water (maybe a chunk or two of ice and some room temp water, or just cold water) and blend for about 30 seconds. Drain, add more water, repeat. Do this about 2-4 times and your butter is cleaner than anything else you can do to it and lasts forever since the buttermilk is all out. This method takes about 2 minutes versus 10-20 minutes of working if not longer. I sort of feel like I'm cheating, but then I see the results and I don't feel so bad!<br /><br />All the best,<br />Mrs. YoderMrs Yoderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491993628181529534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-39479679286852022812010-03-05T11:10:01.862-08:002010-03-05T11:10:01.862-08:00I would love to try this with goat milk!I would love to try this with goat milk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-44485221315715564522010-02-27T18:56:39.699-08:002010-02-27T18:56:39.699-08:00I would love to try this.

That seems very easy! We would love to make our own butter!<br /><br />The only thing here in Ireland, is that the Irish government have made it illegal for any farmer to supply the 'public' with raw milk. They state that its for health and safety reasons; but it is only for financial gain for the Department of Agriculture! Some specialist 'state approved' raw milk cheese companies can use it but thats all! Its so unreasonable not let the public have the choice; and all our milk (even my organic brand) is pasturised and homogenised so there is no cream to skim off! *sigh* Lol!<br /><br />However I appreciate you sharing your homemaking help and tips Jackie!

We always just took the cream off a gallon of Jersey cow's milk into a quart jar and shook it slowly while listening to the radio on Saturday night. And then we had fresh butter for our waffles on Sunday morning. We didn't use butter for much else, but we had desserts only on Sunday too.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571791171336069727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-42627403807371485272010-02-25T15:19:37.737-08:002010-02-25T15:19:37.737-08:00I grew up on a small mixed farm and we had a few d...I grew up on a small mixed farm and we had a few dairy cow.

I really appreciate it when local dairy farmers keep the price avordable to more people will want to buy raw milk. Currently, I'm paying $3 a gallon for milk. Luckily, there are some people on our drop that want skim milk, so I trade them milk for their cream. Everybody is happy that way. I also trade cheese for milk, which saves me a lot of money. I sure hope you can find a better deal on raw milk!Cheesemakin' Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654726238107266586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55554914262786074.post-65318037266310399452010-02-25T09:26:20.869-08:002010-02-25T09:26:20.869-08:00Very cool!

Once things get better financially, I'm going to try to get back to the raw milk and hopefully get some raw cream too, although it's very expensive. About $70 for a half gallon! :) I agree with you though. So much better for you. When I make the butter (speaking in faith here), I'll be sure and post about it and link to you. :)<br />Have a wonderful rest of the day!!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12819089896296871441noreply@blogger.com
