Interesting. Since I don't have access to raw milk, I won't be trying that
soon. There are directions with my FP on how to use milk and butter to make
a substitute for cream. By varying the amount of unsalted butter added to
the fixed amount of milk, you supposedly can make light, medium, and heavy
cream. I haven't tried it so I don't know how well it works.
