  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    The churn which I have is two feet high. It is round in shape. We have it about twenty years. There are no marks or signs on this churn. We make butter three times a week both in Summer and Winter. My mother always does the churning. It generally takes about 3/4 of an hour. We always do our churning by hand because it is an end over end churn. There is a little glass in the lid of the churn, and when the glass is clear the butter is made. There are no local sayings, or proverbs connected with churning.
