Today I made Homemade Butter

When I was out and about yesterday I saw one of these (picture from 'net)



I was in Dunelm and they have half a dozen on the reduced shelves. Originally £9.99 some were reduced to £4.99, another couple were reduced to £2.50 and then another couple were priced £2.49

So, I bought a £2.49 one

It promised homemade butter in 3 minutes of shaking

But, actually, it worked!! Nifty little gadget and a bicep exercise to boot

Amazon are selling them at £10.99 and when I went to google for a picture, it seems the average price is is around the £15 mark! I would never have bought it at £9.99 to be really fair, but for £2.49 it was worth a punt. No way would I buy it for £15!!

So, if you wish to make some homemade butter in as little as 3 minutes ... go check out your Dunelm reduced counter!

 

@"M You know you have to get two - you don't want, ahem, one side more exercised than the other

I didn't know you had Costco stores there!

 

Ooh!

*off to google*

 

Do you add just full fat milk in the jar?

 

Double cream.

 

When I was in Junior School we all had to donate the top of our milk for a "butter" project. The teacher collected it all and put it into jars. Then the jars were passed around each pupil who had to give the jar 30 shakes before passing it on The highlight for me was being chosen to go to the shop (without a safety net!) and buy the bread. Then we all had a slice of bread and butter as a reward for all that shaking. Yup, definitely things were simpler then too
