Ingredients

  • 35 % m.f. cream also known as heavy cream or whipping cream
  • jar with a lid

Instructions

  • Fill your jar half-way with cream.
  • Pop the lid on, and start shaking.
  • When the sloshing sounds stop, remove the lid, and check for whipped cream!
  • Pop the lid back on, and continue to shake until the mixture separates into buttermilk and butter.
  • Remove lump of butter (save the buttermilk for baking).
  • Rinse butter under cold water, kneading any buttermilk out of the butter.
  • Stir in a dash of salt if you wish.
  • Your butter won't keep for long because there are no preservatives. If you're not eating all of it the first day, store in the fridge for another day or two.
  • Store in the fridge if keeping for more than one day.
