"Just like the olden days, right Mom?"

Tonight we made homemade bread, roasted rosemary chicken, veggies, stuffing and homemade butter. The homemade butter was the highlight of the night. We started with heavy whipping cream, a borrowed jar from the neighbors, and two marbles. Drop the marbles in the jar, pour the cream and start shaking. The marbles will make noise until your cream thickens. Don't stop shaking. Keep shaking till you hear them again...

Seriously. SHAKE LIKE CRAZY!! It takes about 15 minutes...

Pour out the excess liquid. Don't forget to remove the marbles...and enjoy!!

Two Ward thumbs up! Looks like we will making butter again soon. Unfortunately, I have a feeling I'll be the one shaking. Matthew HATED that job, but he loved the taste! He even asked me, "This feels just like the olden days, doesn't it Mom?" As if I knew what it was like to churn my own butter! Silly kid!
