Year 9 Butter Making Project

Year 9 Food Technology are currently focusing on Healthy food through the area of nutrition and consumption. Many of the recipes we are preparing this term, use ingredients made by the students themselves.

Previously Year 9 created preserved foods which were tasted and used in class for a variety of recipes. Such preserves as Kimchi, pickled cucumbers, preserved honey cumquats, a multitude of jams, dried fruits and vegetables were produced. Recently the class made yoghurt which they used in a peach and yoghurt slice in class.

The class made butter and buttermilk. Both of these ingredients will be used in the buttermilk carrot muffins with orange butter icing during the next practical lesson.
