  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    Our churn has round sides. It is 10 years old. There is a mark on the side. Butter is made once a week in winter and twice a week in summer. My Mother and my sister do the churning. The strangers do not help to churn if they come in. it takes about an hour to churn. The churning is done by hand. The dash is moved upwards and downwards. Water is poured in.
