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. ❤
Thanks Lisa, please do let us know what type of videos you favour and we will try and upload what our subscribers like, cheers for the comment once again
@@VideosofIrishFarmingLife: thanx again for the video, as well as the comment. I enjoy them all so much. But I like to see these traditional "women's" jobs being done, too. 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.
@@lisawaters2585 Great to get your feedback Lisa. 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
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!
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.
The audio isn’t great. Maybe if you use a rib buds or head phone when you do your video the volume (left and right speakers will both work. I’m only getting sound out of the left head phone when I listen. It’s kind of annoying when you can hear everything well Enough. You can get a pair at Walmart for our he 20 bucks
Eyebrows went looking for me lost hairline while I choked on me humbug... What an amazing way to see the world fella... Can't get the vision from me eyes tho'... lmao.
How sad now that I think on it, all that ancient wisdom lost to technology and gaining time for whatever it is young people do with spare time... Using boiled carrot juice to give a better looking colour to the butter.

@@VideosofIrishFarmingLife :just curious, is farming still a way of life in Ireland, now? PS: I'll do my best to interest my friends!

Very nice video, reminded me of back home how our elders used to make it. Ways are different but results are same. Than you for sharing
I so enjoyed watching this lovely video. Thank you very much, especially for showing how you salt the butter at the end of the process.
Great work I know did at my farm
Lovely 😛
Love her dresser

My God... World had changed. Nice clip tho.. Im eating Irish butter, and i decided to get to know how it's made heheh.

Why an I mesmerised by a lady making butter?
Done just the same here in the US years ago.
Where can I buy one of those churners and utensils
Ya can use the buttermilk in the soda bread making
p.s use icey cold water
How did they clean that contraption afterward ?
Water and let it dry out
Saint Brigid holy work
I don't want to get things from the store anymore lol I want to make butter and have a little cottage etc so bad

nunya biznez thank you for this! I’m definitely making butter from my cows milk!
@Bedrocker Don I learned this in kindergarten 1965. By the way, if you've never had fresh home made butter, you are in for a treat.
where can we buy the vessel from?It looks nice.
Ebay
Great stuff, but fix the audio. Some of dont hear well using just the right channel.
much more nutritious done the old way
Nice to see how my ancestors made butter in Ireland before they came to America in the 1700's. I did end up marring a girl from Co. Meath.

Why did they use boiled carrot juice to colour the butter. I didn't get why it was off coloured.

I’m a bit excited to milk a cow and make butter at a b&b I’m staying at. It feels a bit pervy...🙊
How was it 🤣
🎉
with the price of it now I can't afford it so I'll be doing this.
always use cooled boiled water my flower you probley are my cuddly dairy maid
How did we go from this to everybody being vegan
Because Vegans think vegan butter made in a factory with many different things is better lol. I work with a vegan… talk about being hypocritical.
That’s a lot of salt 🤔

Sad that these things have died in Ireland now.

I wish that was my bollocks she was smacking.
