His Mercy Is New... - Churning butter!

Churning butter!

We had an exciting day today! We got to make butter with Jacob and Mattie! We all got to take turns shaking the cream in a jar...and eventually we had real butter! We were all very fascinated with this and so excited to see it turn into butter! After putting our butter in the fridge for a little while...we had some on our yummy toast for lunch! What a perfect pioneer lesson!

Looking at a real churn!

Necessary ingredients

Taking turns SHAKING!

It's working!

Tasting the buttermilk that formed.

We put our butter into little duckie molds!

And then we ate lunch with yummy cinnamon raisin bread that Aunt Lissa made and our yummy butter! Mmmmmm! I think we ate a whole loaf between us!

How funny - we made homemade (churned) butter today too! We are studing the Colonial Period and have a History Fair tomorrow! mY KIDS LOVED SHAKING THE JARS AND soon they were shakng right with it by jumping up and down.
Every homeschooler should do this- it's simple and really neat! Tomorrow we are making molasses gingerbread!

Oh too cute Candace! Putting it into the duck molds was such a great idea! We did the butter and bread a few weeks ago and it was so much fun! Heather (www.heatherpreckel.com)
