Receipt for preserving Butter - Churn the milk or cream, while it is
sweet; work out all the buttermilk, use salt that is clean and fine, and
put in no more than if it was for your own immediate use. Should it now
be sent away to sell, let it be done in the cool of the morning, that it
may not be heated. Those who receive it may put it into a strong pickle
for one or
two days. The kegs, into which it is to be pickled, must be flagged, and
water-tight, to contain 20 or 25 lbs of butter. Soak them thoroughly in
strong pickle 24 hours then tare them, strew a little fine salt on the
inside, carefully pack each color and quality of butter by itself. Fill
the keg within one inch of the top, take a thin slice and separate the
wood from the butter around the inside of the keg, head it, make a small
hole in the top, and fill it solid with pickle, in which is a little
salt petre dissolved. In this way, if the kegs are tight and well made,
of thick staves, so as not to stain through, the butter will keep sweet
as a rose for years. |
