Well I hope it didn't taste like store bought. My grandfather had a
bad heart and died of a heart attack at 52. He was on a salt free
diet for years before he died. My granny made a salt free batch for
him. We had the salted and even as a very young kid it was better
than store bought. It's too bad you didn't like it. I was just
talking to my mom and mentioned this. She never had commercial butter
until she got married in the 50's.
