SUMMARY:Tis a Far Butter Thing...Butter Churning!
DESCRIPTION:Ages 8 and Up  \n\n\n\nButter is something you probably eat every day. You might spread it on your toast or melt it over your popcorn\, but did you know that you can make it with just one ingredient and some elbow grease? If you’ve never tasted fresh homemade butter\, this is your chance. You may never go back to the supermarket for it again!    \n\n\n\nLearn how to churn butter by hand and make sweet or salted butter to take home. Discover some of the history of butter and how 18th Century Americans created different flavors to use in both sweet and savory recipes. They even used salted butter as a form of payment.  Learn about early American recipes\, like colonial Fairy Butter and why some early Americans believed in ‘bewitched’ butter and what they did about it! All materials supplied by the Museum.   \n\n\n\nLearn how to churn butter by hand and make sweet or salted butter to take home.
