Have you ever made butter?

Have you ever made butter at home? Why would I do that you ask? LOL Because if you've never tasted homemade butter, you should. That's all there is to it. It's nothing like the kind you buy at the market, really. It's so rich and creamy and wonderful...yes. It's so easy you won't believe your tastebuds.

All you need is Heavy Whipping Cream, salt and a couple of baby food jars.

Pour the cream into clean, dry, baby food jars (or other small jars with a tight lids).
Screw the lids on tightly and shake shake shake your jar. Within about 5 minutes of constant shaking you will notice the cream getting thick and a liquid forming around the ball of butter.



That liquid is actually buttermilk. Pour it off (and save for another use if you like, or discard) and screw the lids on tightly again. Continue shaking for about 5 to 10 minutes longer. You'll know it's butter when it looks like butter!
Add salt to taste and spread on some fresh, homemade bread....
