Making Butter At Home (Fun activity for all ages!)

Whipping Cream
Mason Jar (any size will work, smaller jars mean less butter)
Salt (optional)

Fill jar 1/2 to 3/4 full with cream. Place lid on tightly. Shake for ten to thirty minutes, or until you hear solids shaking around and can see through the glass that the solids have separated from liquid. Pour into colander to separate liquid from butter. Place butter in a ramekin or bowl and stir in salt, if desired. Refrigerate until hardened. Enjoy!

I am going to try making this later this week. I will post pictures, even if it fails.

It's been a long time.

Well, I hate to admit it, but I think I have a severe case of ADD. Or as I like to call it... Adult Driven to Distraction. I wanted to start this blog to post about my family, gardening, cooking, and everyday what~nots. With my daughter and I both having had major surgery last year, and other medical complications, you can tell that my blog fell by the wayside.

Needless to say, I am back in the saddle, and ready to go. I have not sat idly over the last year. My gardens are growing and quite fruitful. I am preparing to make a peach moscato jam with help of Linsey sending me the recipe. And I am going to make a long to~do list of projects that I want to complete over the summer.

The first on that list is to post a recipe for homemade butter.

Watch for it.
