  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    Churning is not carried on as much as long ago because there are a lot of creameries around the country nowadays.
    First, the churn is brought out, and put in the middle of the floor. Then the pot of hot water is put into the churn to clean it. When it is cleaned well a pot of cold water is put into it to rinse it. The the churn staff and the board are washed and cleaned. The the cream is put into the churn, the staff and the board are put on the top of the churn. About a half an hour it takes to make the churn. When it is made, it is taken out gathered and washed three times.
