How to Make Homemade Butter
Learn how to make butter, using just cold, heavy cream. It's done with no heavy equipment at all, just good old-fashioned arm power. It's the original elbow grease!
cold heavy whipping cream
⅔
cup
1 1-cup canning jar with lid and ring
 Pour cream into the jar and screw on the lid. Shake the 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.
  Pour the contents of the jar into a fine-mesh strainer and strain out the buttermilk, leaving the solid butter. Remove the lump of butter and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until needed.
