Making Homemade Butter

Anybody ever make home made butter?

Any suggestions or is it really as simple as beating the hell out of some heavy whipping cream?

Yep, get a mason jar with a lid and pour in heavy cream or buttermilk, cap off the jar and then start shaking it. You'll be at it for a long time but eventually you'll notice a solid mass beginning to form in the jar. Depending on the amount of butter fat in the cream or butter milk you use you should get about 1/4 to 1/3 solid butter from the total volume of the liquid. Pour off the remaining liquid and then enjoy the fresh butter!

Don't try to make large amounts of butter this way unless you have that kind of time to make it and you're sure it will get used up before it goes rancid.

My kids made it that way in kindergarten, so it should be a snap for an adult.

And SC, where's the "huge grin" smilie?????

I have a butter churn if you want to make more than a smidgen at a time.
Get the kids to shake the cream in Tupperware bowls.

Hmmm... the shaking thing seems labor intensive. Can't I just put it in my stand mixer with a paddle blade?

My forearms are already over developed from being married for 15 years
