Homemade Butter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 jar with a tight fitting screw on lid. I used a plastic see through jar with lid
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Pour cream in jar and tighten lid.
  • Shake, shake, shake and shake some more.
  • This took a long time. Probably 20 minutes or more!
  • First the cream will get thick, thicker, thicker!
  • Then you will see it pull away from the sides of the jar.
  • Keep shaking.
  • Next the butter will form and you will have some liquid around it.
  • This is buttermilk. Pour it off and place butter in a bowl.
  • Pour 1 cup cold water over butter to rinse it and pour off water.
  • Mold butter and add 1/2 tsp salt or more to your desirable taste.
  • Spread on warm bread.
  • Keeps 2 weeks in fridge!
