How to Make Homemade Butter

Ingredients

• 0.7 cup heavy whipping cream cold
• 1 cup canning jar with lid and ring

Equipment

• sieve

Directions

1. 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.
2. Pour contents of the jar into a fine mesh strainer and strain out the buttermilk, leaving the solid butter.
3. Remove the lump of butter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until needed.
