Horseyrider Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Through a lovely piece of serendipity I'm going to have access to raw milk and cream again, and I miss the beautiful fresh churned sweet butter I used to make back in the days when we had dairy cows. Does anyone know approximately what the yield is from a quart or a gallon of cream? I need to tell my friend how much to hold back for me. And ohhh, slap me silly; she also has milk fed pork. *swoon* My car will be loaded to the roof on Tuesday. I'm coming home with half a pig, three gallons of milk and a quart of cream. That was my order before I realized I forgot I could make butter again! Link to comment

Hi, it has been so long since I have churned butter, but, if you have a churn, and fill it about 1/2 full, I would think you would get at least a pound of butter from that. You also will get Buttermilk. Be sure to save it and use it in cake, pancakes or something. Link to comment
Horseyrider Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'm not using a churn this time. I gave it to the people who bought my cow. I'm using my KitchenAid mixer, and I'm very pleased with how well it works. I can happily report that the yield of beautiful bright yellow summer pasture butter from a half gallon of cream was 38 ounces, or a little more than nine sticks. Oh, and I've always been a poop about saving the buttermilk. I start rinsing and rinsing and just let it go down the drain. Isn't that awful? Link to comment
