The recent
announcement that the FDA plans to ban trans fats got me to thinking. Is this a good time to follow in my Grandpa' s footsteps and get into the Jersey Cow business? Jersey's are known for the high butter fat content of their milk. With Trans fats to be phased out, butter is a logical substitute. One of the things I have done to soften my butter and reduce the saturated fat is to mix it with canola oil. Just soften a stick of butter in a bowl and add a half cup of oil. I suppose any mild edible oil would do. Whip it with an electric mixer for about a minute and pour into a plastic container. It makes a very tasty spread. You can also buy this margarine substitute in the store if you don't want to make it yourself . Ironic talking about butter as a margarine substitute isn't it.
