When I was in the third grade, a friend who owned a dairy gave Mom a pound of homemade butter. I remember putting it on my toast, and "gak" what was that? I didn't like it then. But now, my kitchen is never without it. Not sure I will go the effort to make my own, but thanks for the tips! My mom, ever the frugal one, always bought margarine, but called it “butter”.

She put it in her old wooden churn and had one of the boys start the process. She still did it when I was young so I remember that round irregular lump that made the homemade bisquits taste so yummy.

It is kind of like a fun chemistry experiment in my own kitchen. I have never made butter but I have made my own fresh cheese from milk and lemon juice.
