I do the same thing. No waste and it's there when you need it.

Absolutely. I sometimes go to a pretty close local dairy, they have the "real" buttermilk made from churning butter, yes I get fresh churned butter as well. I freeze the buttermilk in pint jars. It does get thinner for some reason but works great for baking or marinating chicken. I don't even know the fat content of this stuff but it is wonderful, rich, buttery and just the right tang. Nothing at all like the cultured buttermilk in the grocery stores. I also freeze the butter as I buy it in 2 pound rolls, cut up, wrap, and bag. It works great too.

I want to visit where you live, Murphy224. My dad used talk about the buttermilk he grew up with. I bet it's what you are talking about. It's funny the things that spark a memory. Thanks for the smile.

What a great name for a creamery. It reminds me of those California cow commercials where the earthquakes massage their feet. Thanks, I'll remember that if ever I get up that way from Pensacola.

ABSOLUTELY - in ice cube trays. Do the same with Coconut milk, coffee, tea, squeezed lemon juice if I have them. I like cold coffee latte's in the warmer months and having frozen coffee cubes (same with tea cubes) keeps the drink from being diluted by too much melting regular ice cubes. I also freeze any homemade stocks I make too. In Muffin tins or baggies. If using baggies I get as much air out as possible then lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze flat. They can then stand up in a bin in the freezer for better use of the space. I do this with all kinds of stuff I freeze.
