Mason Jar butter and Pioneer Day

I am the Primary Chorister in our ward and on Sunday I did a Pioneer themed Singing Time. I dressed up as a Pioneer and had the Primary search for covered wagons and shake butter. It was the first time I had made butter in a mason jar and it was a lot of fun. They got to taste it on a slice of homemade bread.

Mason Jar butter
Quart size jar
1 pint of Heavy Whipping Cream

Poor Cream in jar secure lid and Shake! It took 15 -20 mins. When you see that the butter has formed, drain the butter milk, press the butter gently to get rid of all the milk. That's it! Enjoy your fresh butter!


















My family always goes to the Days of 47 Float Preview. It is where they bring in all the floats in the Expo Center and you get to walk around up close and see all the amazing work that goes onto making the floats. My Kids favorite this year was the T-Rex float.

I am truly grateful for the amazing strength and faith of the Pioneers. I cry every time I read a journal or hear a story of the heartache that so many went through. Yet, they still pushed on had had amazing faith. I want to weather my trials in my life with the same amount of faith the Pioneers had.
