Great video! We have a Thanksgiving tradition at our house that involves making butter. We use the jar method and right before dinner we all sit around the table. We say grace, then we each take the jar, in turn, as it is passed to us. As we shake the jar, we talk about one of the things in our life that we are truly thankful about. After we explain why, we pass the jar to the next person and they shake it as they talk about one of the things they are thankful for. This only stops when the butter is finished. The taste of the fresh butter during the meal is a strong reminder of just how blessed we truly are. Although this tradition is only about 10 years old, it has quickly become one of my favorites. Blessings to you and yours from Texas, Leon
Made my first batch of yogurt Tuesday, turned out great. Gonna save a couple quarts to make cream cheese, my wife makes this incredible cream cheese crust for her chicken pot pie. Usually makes a small batch just for me to have out of the oven. Your videos are great, I am enjoying and learning new techniques. When I make the butter I think I'm going to use my Mother's butter molds from when we had milk cows when I was growing up, of course I have her churns also. I'll quit rambling. Have a good day.
@@GmaBobbey 1 stick butter room temperature, 8 ounces cream cheese softened, 2 cups flour. Mix well. Make a ball. Flour a baking sheet or cutting board. Roll out to desired thickness, cut in strips, place on top of Chicken Pot Pie.
If you want the butter to keep even longer, and also would like to keep it out of the fridge at room temperature for spreading, you can take the butter after the butter milk is poured off... take ice water and put your butter in there, and squeeze and beat the butter, allowing the remaining buttermilk to run off into the water. The butter, because of the ice water, will remain solid and not mix in at all. The more changes you do like that and the clearer the water, the longer the butter will last. You can get quite a long shelf life out of well-rinsed butter, and it keeps for a very long time on the counter top this way. I find this step usually doubles the shelf life and hurts none of the flavor.
We routinely keep butter on the counter for daily use but generally not more than a quarter pound at a time. The freezer is the best place to store butter long term - it keeps pretty much forever, certainly longer than it takes for us to use it. For cooking, I turn butter into ghee, which also keeps a very long time on the counter or in the pantry. Ghee in a freezer would probably still be good into the next millennium. I'm going to try this method of butter making. Of course, finding decent heavy cream is becoming harder too. Did you know that Land of Lakes HWC contains skim milk?!? Really?!?!
@@skywarrior00... it took me a whole day and 5 different stores to get the cream I got, and THEN it was still subpar to what I am after. Don't get me wrong, it is a REALLY great cream - nothing added, no hormones for the cows and low-temp pasteurized, but still not organic. The cows are roam the pastures free a lot and so they graze a lot. A wholesome and good dairy farm. So, until I can get ahold of organic and grass fed and finished product, this will do just fine. Also, I am making cultured butter, AKA - European butter. I just started the culture today for it and will be making butter and ghee in about 2 days! 😋😁
Great video. It brings back a lot of memories of being back in Northern Wisconsin where I grew up on a dairy farm. We milked around 250 head give or take, and my sister's job was to skim cream off the top of the milk in the bulk tank and make butter. She got pretty creative and made garlic and chive butter, sweet cinnamon butter for toast, and on and on. I miss those days. I remember the first time I had store bought milk, I was around 13 or 14 I guess, and I thought it looked just like white water by the way it poured into a glass. It was so thin, and the taste was so bland and weak. It really is criminal what they do to food these days. People these days have no clue how good REAL food is, and that's such a shame. Oh well, keep up the great work.
You got a new subscriber!!! I have watched 13 butter videos and you are the only one to explain the process and give even more info!! Thank you so much! I am currently going through all your videos and loving each one!
I made butter in my KitchenAid this evening and splattered the milk all over me, even with the guard on. and was in a hurry and tossed the buttermilk in the sink, no biscuits tomorrow, I also have a food processer, but going to do it your way, because I want to see all the different thing's that you can do. I may even make buttercream frosting...thank's for the great video Nicky
Great video! You brought back a lot of good memory of my childhood when I used to help, as a young boy (Yes, I am a man who spent his life in the kitchen), my mother prepare dishes, pastry, bread and so on. I remember being only 6 years old when I started going into the kitchen and watch my mother prepare food and such. I started peeling small items like carrots, potatoes, then moved on to making fresh made buttermilk (from raw milk), tasting food and give my mother my opinion after she would ask me what I think is missing (salt, black pepper, and so on). Then moved into peeling, dicing, slicing vegetable, cutting a large piece of lamb meat into desired sizes. Then moved into actually helping my mother cook dishes like Couscous (Algerian style), Shorba, and so on. I remember her making 3 different items from a gallon of Raw Milk and they are: - Butter - Buttermilk (from the milk) - Hmmm sooooo goooood - The something we call 'Smen'. It is a type of solid ghee that is spicy and prepared over 8 weeks. That is what we add to the Couscous after being steamed (twice) and well incorporated. So out of 1 product, Raw Milk, we end up with 3 different products we can use in the kitchen. Do I still cook? Of course I do and with love. Thanks again for the great video! Peace y'all
I can hardly wait to show this to my wife! She likes getting raw milk, etc. from a nearby farm and once she hears about all the benefits of making your own butter she will be very into it! I never knew where buttermilk came from, but we like to use it to make fluffy pancakes. When she finds this out there will be no turning back. LoL! I think she will really enjoy your informative, instructional video. Thanks again! :)
I watched your video last night and just happened to have a half a container of heavy cream I needed to use. So, I made butter and it turned out perfect! Never realized It was so easy. My husband said what are you doing with your food processor and when I told him he gave me that, yeah sure, whatever look! He was impressed! I did rinse my butter very well and kept it in ice water while messing with it! Thanks
Wow, great video Miranda. I'm surely going to try this. I am quite lactose intolerant, but I've read that real butter (from the store) has very little lactose in it. I imagine that getting more cream out of the butter would make for even less lactose. Store bought butter doesn't seem to affect me too much, but this should be even better. Thanks again for the great video.
Wow been watching your videos for the past five hours, what an education, didn't have to go to college or pay tuition, what a great bargain, thanks a lot. You are an excellent teacher!
Out of six "how to make butter" vids this is by far the best. I especially liked the chatter about costs, mixing options, saving the buttermilk, buttercream icing, etc.... Thanks for the great vid. ... The next step would be turning the butter into long-lasting gee. There's a good vid on that too.
When I was little I used to make homemade butter with one of my aunts and she had the butter molds. She had a mason jar that had a paddle and it had a little crank that you would turn to make the pedals go around. Thank you for bring back so many wonderful memories. Keep it up
Great video!! I just noticed it is over 4 years old but since it is new to me I thought I'd send you a thank you for the very clear demonstration of this technique. I've subscribed and will no doubt enjoy your other videos as well.
I really enjoyed you video. I love how you explain the different stages. I had no idea that you could do buttercream icing and I really didn't realize that its that simple to get buttermilk. Thank you for sharing!!
I started watching one video today in how to make yogurt and kept watching video after video. Love the simplicity that you explain things. So young and knowledgeable, and pretty as well. God bless your talent and willingness to teach others. I subscribed and I am looking forward to more videos. I am older and so happy to learn from a young lady.
Lol, I've made butter several times by shaking it in a mason jar. Don't know why it never occurred to me to use a hand mixer instead! I could have saved myself so much work! The jar-shaking method is EXHAUSTING. Smart girl!
I was trying to teach my kids to make butter from raw cream and I put it in a jelly jar for each of them. My youngest was five and told his twelve and thirteen year old sisters," I'm just putting mine in the blender." 😂
When my kids were small we had a nice little farm of 9 acres...... I had friends who owned dairies and we got whole milk from the..... We made our own butter, butter milk and farmer's cheese...... We made the butter just by sloshing it in a gallon glass jug...... Worked very well for that....... I really enjoy watching your videos....... You seem to be a hard working girl who loves every minute of it...... I miss those days......
That's it ! I'm hooked. Gonna start making my own butter now. I live in the country up here in N. Carolina and don't want to be running to stores so far away for things. Your videos are awesome and thanks for sharing. Laissez les bons temps rouler.
I’m 6 years late to your lesson in butter making. Hope you are well. I love these homemade do-it-yourself cooking tips. Been making my own bread for a while and I will add fresh butter to that. Thank you!
You are a fantastic teacher and very specific on what you are teaching! The butter is something I have wanted to know about for a long time. We will do the straw bale gardening in march 2015 and how wonderful to find out how before we did it. Thankyou so much for your time and God bless you. Kate in Montana
You do the best job of explaining what you are doing in each video. I saw a couple of videos that they rinsed the butter with water, you seem to get the butter clear of all the whey without the water rinse. I have a stand mixer, but just for the heck of it, I think I will experiment with my immersion stick and see what happens (it makes good mayo, may work on butter!) tks
your way is a lot easier than it was when I was young. We got our milk in a 1 gallon wide mouth jar, let it set over night. Skim the cream off next morning, put it in the glass churn and cranked it til my arms felt like they were going to fall off and kept cranking til it became butter. nice video
Excellent! I plan on making this. Thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks. Your husband is a lucky man. You are rare jewel. I hope more young people watch and learn from your videos. I only could hope and wish my 4 sons would find wives like you.
Just found your channel yesterday. Your videos are so helpful. You are bringing back so many memories of making food from scratch like my grandmother's did it back in the day. I was a little kid so I didn't really pay attention to what they were trying to teach me. Thank you for the memories and filling in the holes where my mind wondered off years ago. I am a new subscriber and I am looking forward to more videos.😊
Miranda, that was a great video.. I made the butter yesterday just like you showed.. It turned out really good.. I got probably 3/4 pound of butter and about 1/2 quart of buttermilk.. Thank you for all the awesome video's... Gary
Today I made first batch of butter and it came out great! Added a little too much salt to my liking, but it still turned out good. My family all had positive feedback, and overall it turned out well for it being my first time trying it.
I really enjoyed your video. Not long and drawn out, well instructed and great editing. Ive seen videos that took almost an hour to make butter, it seemed, using a Food Processor! Plus unprepared, lost equipment and talking to household members in the background. Smh, what a disaster. Thk u for being an attentive instructor.
I made mine tonight with my Kitchenaid stand mixer, so after a hour or well more I found the lowest setting far too low. So I think it was setting three, fast without splatter setting. Looks and feels like butter. Will try in morning when I'm not full from dinner. Thanks for this!
Wow!! I am really impressed and GLAD I came across this video!! For some reason I always thought it was more expensive to make jitter from scratch-maybe I need to look for a better deal in whipping cream, because last time I bought it at my local store here in Chicago it was pretty pricey. But I love the idea of the two for one-the butter and then the buttermilk-my kids adore buttermilk pancakes, and this would save me the expense of buying separate buttermilk. Great video-thanks again!
thank you soooooooo much. I always got confused at the buttercream stage, and always thought I had not paid enough attention and mixed it too much and mixed the butter back in
Me, and my two little ones did this one time, it turned to butter for sure, but we didn't like the taste, and at that time I did not add salt. It was also very hard after sitting in the refrigerator, hard to the point it was practically impossible to spread. I learned from this video to leave a little more milk in it to make it a tad bit softer, and we will try this again! Either way this is a good video thanks for sharing your knowledge!~~John
Girl I love this. I add alot more butter just for the salt. Good job. I have been looking at heavy whipping cream for years, knowing I wanted it for something. I just did not know what. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing...I have seen it done using a blender..but I prefer you method...I hope to make my own this weekend. And thank you for all of you informative videos...they bring me back to the early fifties way of life...when life was more simple. Thank you
Wow! that's awesome. I wouldn't have thought that it was economical if you bought the cream. I'm definitely going to try this myself. Wife will be so impressed.
Thank you for the video. I learned to do this a few weeks back...but, your video was much more detailed & informative on how to do it & what to look for than the video I first saw....
Just made home made butter for the first time with your voice in my ear taking me through it one step at a time! Thanks so much for this, it is so good and so damn cheap!!! The buttermilk is an added bonus and I'll be making some buttermilk biscuits after I've cleaned up a bit (tiny kitchen) so crossing my fingers and toes. Greetings from Sweden
Okay, so I was inspired to make this because of your step-by-step instruction (and your knockout beauty) and though I could almost conceive and take a baby to term during the process, I was amazed that one minute it was whipping cream, the next butter... with buttermilk! Just tasted it and it is more satisfying than store bought, but maybe Kerry Gold is a smidge better, but then they've had 200 years to perfect it, and I just had 45 minutes. In any case, I appreciate your videos and you are a fantastic instructor!
I believe this has been the best , most informative video I have ever seen on youtube.....TY For ur time on this....I have always wanted to know how to do this. Im sucribing!!
I watched your video here, and have made two batches of butter so far. We love it so much more that store bought, and thank you for the extremely clear video on this. you are one of the best tutorial people on youtube..... :-)
im not sure where you got all of your horse sense, but im glad that you have it! i like your channel! i watched your husband, or brother show us how to tan hides, and i am in the process of tanning a 5-foot long otter. i hope that it turns out ok, it was hit by a car and i did not want to let it go to waste. please keep up the good work guys!
I made some using the jar method. Thanks for the inspiration, it's great stuff! Mine is very light tasting, nothing like store bought. No chemical after-taste like store tub margarine stuff. Just had some scrambled eggs, so delicious. Much more satisfying to eat delicious food than jamming in calories in order to feel satisfied.
Thanks you so much Survival HT for sharing the most important recipes that I have learned from you making homemade cheese, yogurt, butter and more. You're so wonderful! God Bless!
We used to make butter with school-aged Children on the environmental education/farm center. Cream shake in a jar everyone took a turn and voila! Butter kids were amazed! We ate it on homemade Johnny Cakes (fried corn cakes)
i think your video is great, really helps to see all the steps :) Where i live in Ontario butter is cheaper here at $3, and the whipping cream is $5-6 for the regular but it contains chemicals in it, i dont know if yours does but I now only buy organic whipping cream at $6 for 500ml so $12 for the size you have so I know it would not be cost effective unless i get a cow and have raw milk which is way better for us, so that is what I will be looking to do next, with 5 kids our family of 7 goes through lots of milk and butter here LOL
that is a great video on making butter,the best ive seen so far,thank you.i try and watch all your videos,all are very good,we live in south west Alabama.well take care and keep them coming.
Thanks! I've never seen butter made before. I think the process might go a little faster if you used a nutmilk bag for when you need to press out the liquid from the butter. Also a slotted spoon would help with the pouring/straining out the buttermilk from the butter. [ A nutmilk bag would also help with your Mozzarella making.]
I really enjoy your videos. You explain things very well without all the other fluff. I never knew about extracting the milk so I actually learned something and plan on making my own. Thank you!
I'm new to your channel. and have to compliment you. you are a very smart young woman for your age. I'm from the city not the country but move to the country out of the city and you've told me so much things that I've wanted to learn. thanks so much
I am loving your videos and I am buying extra milk and heavy cream and trying all of your recipes, this weekend. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Thanks alot for sharing and your explanation of each step is easy to understand and will make the butter which i looking forward to do so. I do enjoy watching your video. Will go to your site when i am ready for the butter
Ok, first of all you must have arms like POPEYE, because my arms are killing me!!! I slung it all over my kitchen, somehow I will have to keep it neater. :) My wife and I have been watching your videos and decided to make the butter today. WOW, OMG, everyone in the family loves it!!! Can't wait to see how our straw bale gardens turns out. Keep those great videos coming, your teaching an old dog some new tricks.
Been making some stuff myself now to save money but for it to be more healthy too. Made my own laundry soap and shampoo. Ive been intrigued with the homemade butter. I so want to do this and with the sea salt and maybe just a touch of fresh carrot juice for added color. I like leaving just a little of that cream in there.. Thank you so much.
I have watched this video twice now and will make some for mom later today. I will let you know what she says about it as it is now turning to baking time for the holidays.
Young lady, that really works great I was kind of doubtful at first,but I tried it and after a while I had butter, and I am also less enthused about the jar method, but in my case I say that"s because "I'm a little lazy" Thanks for the demonstration.
Great video. Thank you! I have 1/2 gallon of yogurt going and I'm making butter now by the same method you show here. Funny tho, first time I strained it I got 2 cups of buttermilk and it never separated any more after that. Looks like we even used the same brand of heavy whipping cream.
Thank you for sharing this with us, could you as well, teach us how to make the Buttermilk from the milk we have set aside from the butter. Again, Thank you for sharing and given us detail, I made my butter, it is Amazing! I am tickled that it turned out just like you said, and I am going to make more and freeze. God Bless you and yours.
Great video, thanks. I made some butter a few times last year just to see how it was done. Definitely tastes better than any of the mass produced butter found in the stores. I even experimented a little and made some garlic / cayenne butter. That was really quite good, but could have used a bit more cayenne; not quite spicy enough.
I have thee biggest crush on you..I don't even want to know how to make butter yet here I am watching how to make it lol..I love your hot sauce,pepper vinegar,wild edibles videos..Please keep the videos coming. You should try to get your husband to do more videos on homestead ingenuity..Keep up the good work, awaiting more videos..
Great video! We have a Thanksgiving tradition at our house that involves making butter. We use the jar method and right before dinner we all sit around the table. We say grace, then we each take the jar, in turn, as it is passed to us. As we shake the jar, we talk about one of the things in our life that we are truly thankful about.

Love it! That's a great tradition. What great memories that must make. Thanks for sharing :)
That is a VERY good tradition you and your family have!

An awesome tradition
That's really beautiful!

I love how u explain each stage of whipping the cream till it becomes butter. first person I saw explain this way. thanks

your way is a lot easier than it was when I was young. We got our milk in a 1 gallon wide mouth jar, let it set over night. Skim the cream off next morning, put it in the glass churn and cranked it til my arms felt like they were going to fall off and kept cranking til it became butter. nice video
Excellent! I plan on making this. Thank you for teaching an old dog new tricks. Your husband is a lucky man. You are rare jewel. I hope more young people watch and learn from your videos. I only could hope and wish my 4 sons would find wives like you.
Awe thanks :)
Just found your channel yesterday. Your videos are so helpful. You are bringing back so many memories of making food from scratch like my grandmother's did it back in the day. I was a little kid so I didn't really pay attention to what they were trying to teach me. Thank you for the memories and filling in the holes where my mind wondered off years ago. I am a new subscriber and I am looking forward to more videos.😊
another great video. Thank you!! We love your info and we've tried many of the methods and recipes you've posted please continue!!
My mother use to make butter like this and it really is the best way to have butter. Store bought doesn't even compare.
Miranda, that was a great video.. I made the butter yesterday just like you showed.. It turned out really good.. I got probably 3/4 pound of butter and about 1/2 quart of buttermilk.. Thank you for all the awesome video's... Gary
Today I made first batch of butter and it came out great! Added a little too much salt to my liking, but it still turned out good. My family all had positive feedback, and overall it turned out well for it being my first time trying it.
I really enjoyed your video. Not long and drawn out, well instructed and great editing. Ive seen videos that took almost an hour to make butter, it seemed, using a Food Processor! Plus unprepared, lost equipment and talking to household members in the background. Smh, what a disaster. Thk u for being an attentive instructor.
I made mine tonight with my Kitchenaid stand mixer, so after a hour or well more I found the lowest setting far too low. So I think it was setting three, fast without splatter setting.
Looks and feels like butter. Will try in morning when I'm not full from dinner.
Thanks for this!
Great presentation! I shall try your recipe.
good video. thanks for sharing
Wow!! I am really impressed and GLAD I came across this video!! For some reason I always thought it was more expensive to make jitter from scratch-maybe I need to look for a better deal in whipping cream, because last time I bought it at my local store here in Chicago it was pretty pricey. But I love the idea of the two for one-the butter and then the buttermilk-my kids adore buttermilk pancakes, and this would save me the expense of buying separate buttermilk. Great video-thanks again!
thank you soooooooo much. I always got confused at the buttercream stage, and always thought I had not paid enough attention and mixed it too much and mixed the butter back in
Me, and my two little ones did this one time, it turned to butter for sure, but we didn't like the taste, and at that time I did not add salt. It was also very hard after sitting in the refrigerator, hard to the point it was practically impossible to spread. I learned from this video to leave a little more milk in it to make it a tad bit softer, and we will try this again! Either way this is a good video thanks for sharing your knowledge!~~John
Girl I love this. I add alot more butter just for the salt. Good job. I have been looking at heavy whipping cream for years, knowing I wanted it for something. I just did not know what. God bless you.
Thank you for sharing...I have seen it done using a blender..but I prefer you method...I hope to make my own this weekend. And thank you for all of you informative videos...they bring me back to the early fifties way of life...when life was more simple.
Thank you
I did this and the results are fantastic. Thanks...
Wow! that's awesome. I wouldn't have thought that it was economical if you bought the cream. I'm definitely going to try this myself. Wife will be so impressed.
Maranda I made my first butter and it is delicious, Thank You for sharing your wealth of knowledge to us, and the butter milk is great too! Blessings!
You make really good videos. I think you are probably helping a lot of people.
I am enjoying watching your videos..... You have beautiful children and they are blessed with good parents
I'm very impressed with this young lady. very smart
Thank you for the video. I learned to do this a few weeks back...but, your video was much more detailed & informative on how to do it & what to look for than the video I first saw....
I always learn so much from your videos.
Just made home made butter for the first time with your voice in my ear taking me through it one step at a time! Thanks so much for this, it is so good and so damn cheap!!! The buttermilk is an added bonus and I'll be making some buttermilk biscuits after I've cleaned up a bit (tiny kitchen) so crossing my fingers and toes. Greetings from Sweden
You are an amazing teacher! I learn so much from you! Thank you for sharing so much wonderful knowledge-God bless you and your family!
Okay, so I was inspired to make this because of your step-by-step instruction (and your knockout beauty) and though I could almost conceive and take a baby to term during the process, I was amazed that one minute it was whipping cream, the next butter... with buttermilk! Just tasted it and it is more satisfying than store bought, but maybe Kerry Gold is a smidge better, but then they've had 200 years to perfect it, and I just had 45 minutes. In any case, I appreciate your videos and you are a fantastic instructor!
Finally had a chance to make this. It’s great tasting and just takes a little patience. Well worth the effort, thanks! Subscribed
I believe this has been the best , most informative video I have ever seen on youtube.....TY For ur time on this....I have always wanted to know how to do this. Im sucribing!!
Awesome, going to make some this week.
Thank you and God bless you and family
Good job great presentation. And I liked the host as well.
Thanks for another interesting video.
I watched your video here, and have made two batches of butter so far. We love it so much more that store bought, and thank you for the extremely clear video on this. you are one of the best tutorial people on youtube..... :-)
Learn something new every day!
the best innovation and advice, Family tested, Grandmother approved
Thanks young lady I'll be buying my whipping cream tomorrow and make this.
im not sure where you got all of your horse sense, but im glad that you have it! i like your channel! i watched your husband, or brother show us how to tan hides, and i am in the process of tanning a 5-foot long otter. i hope that it turns out ok, it was hit by a car and i did not want to let it go to waste. please keep up the good work guys!
Got to agree with Ronnie Armstrong a lot better than TV. Thanks Miranda love your videos.
I made some using the jar method. Thanks for the inspiration, it's great stuff! Mine is very light tasting, nothing like store bought. No chemical after-taste like store tub margarine stuff. Just had some scrambled eggs, so delicious. Much more satisfying to eat delicious food than jamming in calories in order to feel satisfied.
Been waiting to use up our store bought butter...finally happened, so now I can make my own...thanks for sharing!
Thanks you so much Survival HT for sharing the most important recipes that I have learned from you making homemade cheese, yogurt, butter and more. You're so wonderful! God Bless!
We used to make butter with school-aged
Children on the environmental education/farm center. Cream shake in a jar everyone took a turn and voila! Butter kids were amazed! We ate it on homemade Johnny Cakes (fried corn cakes)
i think your video is great, really helps to see all the steps :) Where i live in Ontario butter is cheaper here at $3, and the whipping cream is $5-6 for the regular but it contains chemicals in it, i dont know if yours does but I now only buy organic whipping cream at $6 for 500ml so $12 for the size you have so I know it would not be cost effective unless i get a cow and have raw milk which is way better for us, so that is what I will be looking to do next, with 5 kids our family of 7 goes through lots of milk and butter here LOL
that is a great video on making butter,the best ive seen so far,thank you.i try and watch all your videos,all are very good,we live in south west Alabama.well take care and keep them coming.
I'm going to try this method, looks very easy.
Thanks! I've never seen butter made before. I think the process might go a little faster if you used a nutmilk bag for when you need to press out the liquid from the butter. Also a slotted spoon would help with the pouring/straining out the buttermilk from the butter. [ A nutmilk bag would also help with your Mozzarella making.]
I really enjoy your videos. You explain things very well without all the other fluff. I never knew about extracting the milk so I actually learned something and plan on making my own. Thank you!
I'm new to your channel. and have to compliment you. you are a very smart young woman for your age. I'm from the city not the country but move to the country out of the city and you've told me so much things that I've wanted to learn. thanks so much
This was awesome! I just made mine and I am super impressed with your method!!!
WOW, who knew you could make butter at home and so easily. Ill be trying this for sure. Thanks
Thanks for sharing this info. Will have to try this, as it seems quite easy to do. Thanks again.
Your gifted teacher. 👍🏻
I am loving your videos and I am buying extra milk and heavy cream and trying all of your recipes, this weekend. Thanks so much for all your hard work.
Thanks for this video! We just made our first batch of butter. Can't wait to have it with our biscuits tomorrow morning!!
John Rosalia was it good??
I would love to taste your cooking. It looks so good.
Thanks alot for sharing and your explanation of each step is easy to understand and will make the butter which i looking forward to do so. I do enjoy watching your video. Will go to your site when i am ready for the butter
Ok, first of all you must have arms like POPEYE, because my arms are killing me!!! I slung it all over my kitchen, somehow I will have to keep it neater. :) My wife and I have been watching your videos and decided to make the butter today. WOW, OMG, everyone in the family loves it!!! Can't wait to see how our straw bale gardens turns out. Keep those great videos coming, your teaching an old dog some new tricks.
Been making some stuff myself now to save money but for it to be more healthy too. Made my own laundry soap and shampoo. Ive been intrigued with the homemade butter. I so want to do this and with the sea salt and maybe just a touch of fresh carrot juice for added color. I like leaving just a little of that cream in there..
Thank you so much.
I have watched this video twice now and will make some for mom later today. I will let you know what she says about it as it is now turning to baking time for the holidays.
I have just gotten around to try making your homemade butter, it turned out great, thanks for the vid.
This is great. Could watch you do this all day long
Young lady, that really works great I was kind of doubtful at first,but I tried it and after a while I had butter, and I am also less enthused about the jar method, but in my case I say that"s because "I'm a little lazy" Thanks for the demonstration.
Very nice. I wish you had given a timeline but well done. Do you wash your butter in ice water? Thank you
Great video. Thank you! I have 1/2 gallon of yogurt going and I'm making butter now by the same method you show here. Funny tho, first time I strained it I got 2 cups of buttermilk and it never separated any more after that. Looks like we even used the same brand of heavy whipping cream.
Thank you for sharing this with us, could you as well, teach us how to make the Buttermilk from the milk we have set aside from the butter. Again, Thank you for sharing and given us detail, I made my butter, it is Amazing! I am tickled that it turned out just like you said, and I am going to make more and freeze. God Bless you and yours.
I was totally mesmerized by this video. This was so much fun. I'm definitely trying this this weekend and definitely subbing.
Great video! Will try this weekend.
Great video, thanks. I made some butter a few times last year just to see how it was done. Definitely tastes better than any of the mass produced butter found in the stores. I even experimented a little and made some garlic / cayenne butter. That was really quite good, but could have used a bit more cayenne; not quite spicy enough.
Wow... that's so cool! Thanks for taking the time to record & post this! :)
Have you canned any of the home made butter to give it a much longer shelf life?
Subscribed and love your demonstrations! Cheers!
I have thee biggest crush on you..I don't even want to know how to make butter yet here I am watching how to make it lol..I love your hot sauce,pepper vinegar,wild edibles videos..Please keep the videos coming. You should try to get your husband to do more videos on homestead ingenuity..Keep up the good work, awaiting more videos..
