  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    We have a churn at home it is about three feet tall it is eighteen inches at the top and fourteen at the bottom.
    The sides of it are round and it is about six years old.
    There are no marks on the sides or bottom of the churn.
    The butter is made once a week
    One of the family that churns.
    If a stranger comes in and one churning they have to churn for a while for it is an old saying if they go without churning they will bring the butter
    Between half an hour and an hour it takes to churn.
    The churning is done by hand.
