Butter!

On my 30 for 30 list I have to make my own butter....and here is how it turned out!

Step 1: Organic whipping cream and a jar (with room for the liquid to expand)

Step 2: Tighten the lid and shake, shake, shake! You can also put this in a stand mixer and let it do the work for you, but what fun would that be?? It does take a bit of time shaking it on your own but you get a great arm workout!

Step 3: You will think it's not working but it is! After about 15ish minutes I noticed liquid begin to separate and a thick, yellow substance started to form in the middle. Once you see the butter, keep shaking until you are sure the butter is done forming. There will still be white liquid in the jar, around your butter.

Step 4: Strain the liquid from the butter - and save both!

Step 5: Homeade butter and buttermilk - YUM!
