Ingredients
- 8 oz heavy whipping cream

- mason jar
- 2 marbles
Instructions
- 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!
