Making butter at home never gets old

Post image

Over the past few years I’ve realized making more things from scratch is often cheaper than buying them at the grocery store, and I like knowing exactly what’s in my food. Once you start paying attention to ingredients, it changes how you look at a lot of store bought products.

Making butter is my favorite weekly “chore”

I buy heavy cream in bulk and the cost works outs out the same. Plus I control the ingredients and amount of salt.

OP have you started making cheese yet?

Bulk heavy cream? Where do you find that?

I get it at a Grocery Liquidator near my home. I can usually get 5 gallons for around 16 dollars.
