Homemade Goat's Milk Butter

If you can believe it, I have never tried making butter with our goat's milk.  Yesterday I finally made some.

It was so stinkin' easy, I can't believe I haven't made it before.

Our next oldest daughter had been skimming the cream, and we had a pint of it.  I simply poured it into my blender.

I blended for about 4-5 minutes, let it rest and rise to the top. 

Drained off any buttermilk.   I did not have much.

Barn kitty, Timmy, enjoyed it (that is a pint jar).

I rinsed the butter a few times with ice water, drained it off.  I then put it in a bowl and folded it until there was no water coming out of it.  I then stirred in salt.

Melt in our mouth butter.  Mmmm!

It was my high point in the day.  Every day I try to plan something to look forward to every day (little or big).  The anticipation keeps me fired up in positive energy.  What's next?  A new cheese with goat's milk maybe.  So far, I've made ricotta and cream cheese.
