    OMG!! I remember when I was a small child my Irish grandmother showing me one of those wooden paddles and explaining to me how it was used to shape the butter. Back in Maghera, Co. Derry she probably made butter exactly like that woman was doing. I always wondered exactly how those paddles were used. And I see that this video was made at Muckross Farm. In 2005 we visited Muckross farm. How amazing!

    Oh my goodness, this really does remind me of my childhood in Ireland We had one of these butter churns and we would all take turns turning the handle. My mum would then use her wooden pats to Pat the butter in shape. Happy memories Thank you for this lovely lady. ❤

In my younger days, I fantasized living on a farm, keeping the house and the kitchen garden. Seeing the women's work gives me insight into my own "farm wife" roots. All my ancestors were farmers, I enjoy seeing life on the farm.

Throughout our videos we have always tired to give a balanced look at rural life inIreland, showing both the farmers work and the woman role in the farmhouse. We will be uploading these in the coming weeks and months. At the moment our subscribers are predominantly male but we hope to get this ratio closer to 50 50 over time so please do get your female friends to subscribe to our channel lol Thanks again, Chris

    @@lisawaters2585 Yeah, farming is still a large industry in Ireland though the number of people employed in this sector is probably falling each year because of modernisation. Farms here are now much larger than they would have been back in the day just like any other western country I guess. Would be a great topic for a video! Chris

    Well to start you off, butter making does not have to be as difficult or complicated as in this video. She's making a large quantity probably enough to last a family for a week or so and in a traditional way. I make butter by filling a glass jar (pickle or other wide mouth jar) about one third of the way with heavy or sweet cream, putting a lid on it then shaking the heck out of it for about twenty minutes or until you hear/feel chunks bouncing around in the buttermilk. At that point you have butter but you must then finish separating it. Pour off the liquid but save it for making bread or pancakes or other baking projects. Use a fork to squeeze the rest out of the butter repeatedly until you have just butter in the jar. Then you can scoop out the butter and shape it as you like and put it in a container. You don't have to salt the butter to preserve it (unless you don't have a refrigerator) though you can salt the butter to your liking. Personally I don't salt mine as I often use unsalted butter in various recipes. So that's it. The only equipment you need is a jar with a lid, a fork, and something to pour the buttermilk off into. Nothing fancy, you most likely have what you need in your kitchen now. The reason she is washing the butter is any buttermilk left would make it spoil faster since she is keeping it at room temperature. Keeping your butter in a fridge prevents that so you can skip that step if you have a fridge.

    If you are in the U.S. and make your butter from store bought cream you will get butter with a weaker flavor and almost white. Personally I like the more delicate flavor.
