  1. Dash Churns

    Share Share Post
    We have no dash churn at home but my Antie has one. It is about three feet high and it is wide at the bottom and narrow in the middle and widens with a thing which the people call a crib. The churn is divided into two parts one of the parts is the crib. When the people would be going to churn they would put the milk in it. They do not skim the milk but put in milk and cream together in it. Then they would put in the dash and hande and put on the lid, which goes down to the narrow part of the churn.
