Hi Friend .. I remember in 6th grade we made butter .. our teacher seperated us into groups, he gave us fresh cream and a coffee can. Each of us in our group had to shake the can for quite some time - we traded off until we had thick butter .. I do not remember how long it took but it seemed like forever :) Was pretty good!!! Fun post .. it would be fun to make butter with the girls but I am afraid they would get tired of shaking and leave me to do it .. LOL!!! Love you Friend .. SUNSHINE247
