How does one keep butter from going rancid without
refrigeration? : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Preparation
Forum : One Thread  If I have access to cream (to make butter)
or actual do I keep it fresh without refrigeration? Is keeping
it submerged in water and out of sunlight sufficient? How long
will it last this way? What is the preferred method? Will salted
or unsalted last longer?  Thanks for your tips.  -- Ynott (,
October 31, 1999   When I was a child, I lived with my grandma,
out in the boonies. We had no refrigeration. She had a water
pump in the house, and always kept a pailful of water under it.
She used to keep her homemade butter in a quart jar,leaving it
submerged in the pailful of cold water. I would guess it would
keep a long time, that way. I think she even made an occasional
batch of gelatin, and kept it in a quart jar, under the cold
water.  -- Jo Ann (, October 31, 1999.  IN 1975 I worked at site
