WOW! I was a little skeptical about this recipe because I thought that "heavy whipping cream" only made "heavy whipping cream." I learn a lot from this web site about cooking! :) I didn't have cheesecloth, so I used a strainer with a paper towel and pushed the excess milk out with a cup. Kind of a messy way to do it but it worked and now I have homemade butter in my kitchen! Thaks so much for the recipe!!

i cant believe how easy this was. i left out the salt, processed for 10 mins, drained in a cheesecloth lined colander w/ a bowl underneath to catch the buttermilk. i let it sit for 5 mins just to make sure i got as much buttermilk drained as possible. saved the buttermilk in a tightly sealed tupperware then rinsed the butter w/ cold water and let it sit for another 5 min. i did open the food processor to see what was going on halfway through but i dont recommend it because it spit some out at me and made a bit of a mess. am planning to use the buttermilk w/ some yogurt to marinade chix in overnight for oven fried chix.

I made this recipe using my stand mixer. I had so much fun watch the cream in its different stages. To make my butter more yellow, I heated 2 grated baby carrots in about 1/2 cup of milk. I heated and stirred till the milk turned bright yellow-orange. Then I strained out the carrots pcs and added the milk to the cream just before mixing. It took about 10-15 min for the butter to come. I pressed and rinsed it well. The butter is absolutely delicious and you can't taste the carrots and it has no artificial coloring to make it a nice yellow color.

I Love the taste of homemade butter. Thanks so very much for this recipe. I also found that if I put soured cream in the blender about 3/4 the way full I can make sour cream for baked potatoes. Thanks again

Now this was neat as can be.... I gathered the 6 of our 9 kids and told them we were doing a "experiment" with buttermilk. They loved watching it form to butter. We then added garlic and salt and made garlic bread.

So easy to make and the most delicious butter I have ever tasted. Saved me from having to throw out heavy cream left over from ice cream. Thank you!

I used local organic grass fed heavy cream and it was awesome!!! I even used the buttermilk to make pancakes! Deeeelish! It only took about 6 or 7 minutes in my food processor. Well worth it! Very easy!

I am so impressed with this. It was so easy! While I imagine that I will still buy most of my butter from the grocery store, I will be doing this again.

I tried this recipe and it looked just like the picture. Blended it in the food processor but wasn't sure when it was ready since this was my first time(took about 6 minutes). I turned the machine off and on and at the same time drained any liquids. When the cream is wet it sits on the bottom of the processor blending, but when it's done it becomes stiff like butter and gets plastered to the sides of the processor, that's when you know it's done. With the container of butter and your spatula, keep pressing the white liquid (which is the buttermilk)out of the butter, it does take about 5 min to do this. I did a taste test with our favorite high-end store bought butter, couldn't tell the difference. I added a little salt, and since it is so light in color I added a drop of yellow foodcoloring. Delicious!

SUPER SUPER easy and fast! My kids loved adding the heavy cream and a pinch of salt to the food processor and then watching it turn from a liquid to a solid in about 9 minutes. Once solid, I drained the excess liquid and used a piece of cheese cloth to squeeze out any remaining liquid from the "butter ball". What a wonderful recipe...a recipe you can use in so many other recipes...and it's a super fresh ingredient!

Wow, pretty darn amazing to watch the transformation! This was my first attempt at making butter and I was kind of surprised that it actually worked! Once done, I rinsed the butter several times and used cheese cloth to strain out the buttermilk. I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixter with the whisk attachment. Also decided to add herbs and spices which I think will be wonderful on Italian bread. Thanks so much Brian!!

I decided to try this, but I knew, I just knew that it wasn't going to work. Boy, was I wrong!!! It took exactly ten minutes for the cream to turn into butter. Who would have thought homemade butter was this easy? All I did was squeeze it out in my hand over the sink, and then I plopped it in a little crock. Can't give this one less than five stars, and would give more if I could! Thanks!
