Homemade Butter
All you need is a large mason jar for creamy, delicious homemade butter!
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 to 1 cup whole cream preferably non-homogenized, but if that's not available, just be sure it has no fillers like carageenan
- Pinch salt if desired
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped herbs to add at the end if desired.
Instructions
- Pour cream into a clean jar with a tight lid (for 1/2 cup, use a half-pint jar, but for any more cream, use a larger jar)
- Add salt, if using.
- Seal the jar and shake the heck out of it until it stops sloshing (has become whipped cream).
- Keep shaking until it starts sloshing again (buttermilk has come out of the cream).
- Keep shaking a bit more until the butter is one smooth lump at the bottom.
- Pour off buttermilk.
- Add any herbs and stir.
