Recipe Summary How To Make Homemade Butter

We're going to do our own handmade butter, using just cold, heavy cream. It's done with no heavy equipment at all, just good old-fashioned arm power. It's the original elbow grease!

Ingredients | Homemade Butter For Kids

⅔ cup cold heavy whipping cream

1 1-cup canning jar with lid and ring

Directions

Pour cream into the jar and screw on the lid. Shake jar until butter forms a soft lump, 15 to 20 minutes. Continue to shake until buttermilk separates out of the lump and the jar contains a solid lump of butter and liquid buttermilk.

Pour contents of the jar into a fine mesh strainer and strain out the buttermilk, leaving the solid butter. Remove the lump of butter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until needed.

You can do this in a food processor much faster, but I wanted to go old-school.
