That was a blast from the past, i remember doing this in primary school,taking the cream off the free milk we were given and putting it a sterile jam jar with a peg and shaking it stupid...is it economical then do you think to still make your own butter??

tina - it's economical if you buy your cream from the reduced counter
More than that though, you *know* whats in it

They were talking about all those nasty trans-fatty thingies on the BBC Food Program at lunchtime, have a look on their web site, it tell you how to make butter in a food processor. Haven't made my own yet but have been buying value butter for a long time, don't fancy all those nasties in low fat spreads. Still looking for reduced cream!0
