Munchers Make Home-made Butter

Gus takes his turn shaking while Isaiah looks on patiently.  It took about ten minutes of constantly shaking heavy whipping cream to make it.  One batch was salted and the other was not.  Salted butter tend to contain more water, so when the recipe asks for unsalted butter, it means unsalted butter!



Both salted and unsalted butter look the same, but they taste differently.  Munchers could identify which butter was which.


While turning dairy milk into butter, we samples the coconut we bought at Bravo earlier in the week to see what a vegetable milk tastes like.  We compared the fresh coconut milk with store bought coconut milk, and Munchers liked the fresh better.  Hannah explained to us how she saw a coconut opened once while on vacation, but since I didn't have a machete, I had to drive a nail in the spots at the end of the coconut and then let the milk drain out into a glass.  Next I covered the coconut with a towel and hammered the coconut open so we could try the meat too.
