Home-made Butter
Deer Aunt Daisy, A Link in the Daisy Chain inquired whether butter can be preserved in jars with salt on top. This is the way I preserved a great deal of butter last year, and it was most satisfactory. I had a large earthenware jar (also a crockery one, but the earthenware was better), and packed the butter in it very tightly, pressing it down. I made a strong brine and covered the top of the butter with about one inch of this, then tied butter-paper over the top to keep out the dust. The one thing to be careful of is to see that there is always a little water covering the top, because it evaporates. It is also quite all right to put in butter a little at a time this way-pour-ing off the brine and packing the new butter on top, then recovering with the brine. Trusting this will help your correspondent: --. Yours mene Nan. of Otaki. o5 Baye Seto
