How to make homemade butter in a jar. You won’t believe how darn easy this is!

What do you think of when you hear someone say “homemade butter”? I’ll tell you what I think of. I think of my grandma, with a bonnet on, churning like hell. I’m sorry but it doesn’t sound pleasant! LOL  That’s why someone offered to share their homemade butter recipe, I laughed it off. Heck, why make butter if I can buy it?! Well, that’s what I thought, until I had a taste of the homemade butter. Honey, let me tell you – I fell in love! Homemade butter & biscuits is BAE! No for real!

So I finally gave in. I was ready to make some homemade butter. I pulled my braid ups, and was ready to pull out my bonnet (yes – I have one, don’t judge me!), until my friend told me that all I needed was cream, salt, a jar, and marbles.

Yup, you heard me right. That’s all you need to make homemade butter. So pretty much you’re making homemade butter in a jar! Interesting right? Well let me share this recipe with y’all!

Ingredients

• 8 oz heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 tsp salt
• mason jar
• 2 marbles

•  Set out the cream for about 30-40 minutes to bring it to room temperature.
• Fill the jar about ½ way with the cream. (if using marbles, add them at this point. It’ll make the process a little quicker). 
• Cover with lid.
• Shake the jar for about 10 minutes, open and look to see that it looks like whipped cream. Put the lid back on tight and continue shaking. 
• After about 5 more minutes, open and see that the buttermilk is starting to separate from the cream. Put the lid back on tight again.
• Shake again for a few minutes until you have soft solid butter with the liquid buttermilk.
• Pour off the buttermilk. Put the butter in a bowl and pour in about a half cup of ice water to rinse the butter.
• Knead the butter for 5-10 seconds until the water is cloudy. Pour out the water and repeat 2 more times.
• Add the salt, then refrigerate.
• Serve & enjoy!
