Firm Butter
Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard you speak about keeping butter firm and fresh. Well, I have done this for 30 years. Get a big box and put about 6 inches of sand in the bottom, then stand on this a tin just to come to the top of the box. Fill in all sides: with sand, and soak it with water once a week. Put your butter into the tin, shut the lid down, then cover with a sack well soaked in water. I have mine under the tank stand, where it gets all the afternoon sun, but the butter is always
firm and fresh.
