Get your self the book "Nourishing Traditions" and learn more about raw milk and other milk products. Raw milk has good bacteria, so in the old days and actually still now, many people set raw milk out to sour. They drink it, and use it in all kinds of recipes including butter and cheeses. It's pretty interesting to learn about.

I substitute the cream from our creamtop milk into any recipe that calls for milk (oven mac&cheese, bread pudding, pumpkin pie, etc.). I also find if I leave it in the refrigerator for a day or so it turns into creme fraiche :)
Best,

You can make butter in your blender in about 4 minutes by placing it on the whip setting. Just watch closley and you will see the "grains" of butter form and then you will see the buttermilk seperate.
I use my buttermilk in bicuits, cornbread, waffles etc. The butter can be frozen and you can even add fresh herbs to it.
Just be careful because raw milk will not last as long as pasturized milk will.

Oh gosh...in pumpkin pie (in place of canned milk) you can whip it and add sugar to top that pie too, added to gravy it is heavenly, in any recipe in place of half and half or whipping cream it works great. I use it in things like cream sauces for stroganoff and like that...dosn't have the sour cream taste, but thickens and gives it a nice creamy thick taste just the same. It is wonderful in hot drinks and hot cereal wonderful stuff!! Have fun!!
And hey..butter dosn't have to be tricky..just fill a quart canning jar 2/3 full and get to shaking it...after awhile you have butter and the liquid left is buttermilk. (not at all like storebought buttermilk..but works the same in recipes...I add a little salt to the butter and rinse and knead in cold water....easy peasy!!!
