Homemade Butter
Yield: about 1 cup
   
Ingredients Amounts
Heavy whipping cream, well-chilled 2 cup
Salt 1/8 tsp.
   
Method  
  1. Pour cream into a chilled 2 quart jar. Add a clean, round marble to help with the "churning" or put about an 1/8 cup in chilled baby food jars and leave out the marble. Tightly close the lid.
  2. Shake the jar until butter forms and separates from the buttermilk. Pour into a strainer.
  3. Wash the butter with water, until the water runs clear, removing more buttermilk. Then put butter into a bowl and using a wooden spoon, stir and press the butter against the side of the bowl. This will work out any remaining buttermilk. Pour this off.
  4. Stir in the salt. Chill in refrigerator.
