  1. (continued from previous page)
    In Summer cold water is poured into the churn to help the process and in Winter hot water is used.
    The butter is taken out by hand.
    Then it is put into a wooden dish and spring water is poured on it. It is salted then and rinsed with cold water. Then all the water is taken out of the butter. Then it is ready for use.
