(& not use it for other recipes!)<br />maybe you could gather the cream for a few days (or even a week - see if it holds okay in the fridge?) & see how much you get?<br />You can make as little butter as you wish..<br /><br />Mum just put the cream into a pot & used the mixer & whipped it until it 'separated' - then put it on a strain to separate from 'milky water' (or just in a small pot) & rinsed it with tap water, & then mixed it with a spoon or fork, to make a better consistency & wash away any impurities. <br /><br />There are a lot of videos on YouTube too, I will try to find some that inspired me!<br /><br />Rae, the butter here is wrapped into aluminum foil+plastics! haven't found any cheap brands with less packaging yet!<br />(also, even waxed paper is put into mixed waste here!)<br /><br />Thank you both VERY MUCH for your kind words of support & inspiration!! :)<br />I do feel like I haven't 'done anything' - yet we've done quite a few things that we haven't done yet!<br />Maybe I need to blog about it all! :)Laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832545657562957725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236788721118809859.post-39505740285072730452009-04-23T13:32:00.000-07:002009-04-23T13:32:00.000-07:00Yummy - butter, I'm coming over for tea!

Ironically it is the cheap 'value' brands that offer this rather than the expensive ones that come in shiny laminated foil.<br /><br />I can't believe the amazing progress you have made with zero waste week. Well done you. I'm so proud of you :)rae-annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166852642128654920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236788721118809859.post-3562261958033628442009-04-23T11:11:00.000-07:002009-04-23T11:11:00.000-07:00Wow!

We consume almost a liter of fresh milk every two days... is it a too small quantity? Would you post a recipe, please? <br /><br />I was searching zero waste butter here but it's impossible. The butter wrapped in tin foil has a very thin layer of paper wich is impossible to separate and the paper wraps have instead a thin plastic layer... :(<br /><br />And I'm very happy to see you busy with your local newspaper! It's the sign that awareness is growing there! you must be proud! <br /><br />As regards the other tips I can't help you, sorry! You are very investigative and nothing passes out of your sight! Let us know if you'll find the answers on the way! <br /><br />And don't feel down if the world seems to run against you! Everything has its time! ;)dandaworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539992452778511972noreply@blogger.com
