Homemade Butter

“We have made this recipe a Thanksgiving Day tradition in our family since my son was in kindergarten. Open the container and -- voila! -- you have homemade butter. Pour off the buttermilk (or drink it if you like)and place the butter in a serving dish. Great on dinner rolls. The little ones will be proud to have helped prepare the meal.”

I never realized how easy it was to make butter. It took about 1.5 cup of cream to make 1/2 cup of butter. I added a tiny dash of salt and about a tablespoon of honey. Fabulous! I'm going to have to make some bread now to go with this awesome butter!

My grandmother made her butter this way. She had 10 children so there were always plenty of people around to shake the jar. It tastes great and is fun for the kids to make. They always look amazed when the butter starts forming after shaking the jar or container. You can use a Kitchen Aid Mixer but where's the fun in that?

AMAZING! I will be making this from now on instead of buying store bought butter with mysterious ingridients. I added a tablespoon of honey and a dash of salt and it was delicious.

I operate a daycare and for our Thanksgiving Feast I hand out washed out baby food jars, poor in heavy cream, add a marble, close lid tightly, secured with duck tape, and turn on dancing music! After a few songs they have their own personal butter! Very fun!

Bring the cream to room temperature!! I leave my on the counter up to 12 hours, the longer the better in fact...something about the reactions going on will make the butter better and will also make butter WAY quick (like 4 mins of shaking). Add a little salt before shaking. Drain the buttermilk off (use it for pancakes or biscuits), add cold water to the jar and shake.

I love making butter this way and so do my kids. We add a pinch of salt to the cream before shaking it up. :-) It's so fresh tasting!

I did this for some pre-schoolers I was watching during "farm week." They got kick out of it! We put the heavy cream in jars with marbles, which makes it much faster, and sealed it tight. I made sure they had something good to put it on. I had warm barnana bread, just baked, and they each spread their own slice with butter and loved it! However, if you are not doing this with kids a kitchen aid mixer will be much faster. The cream will go from the whipped cream to butter stage in a matter of minutes. ty
