We all made some up in a jar one time. Talk about a lot of shaking going on for that. LOL! Oh, yum! :D I haven't tried to make butter in the food processor. We all made some up in a jar one time.

We switched to all butter (except for my dd who is allergic to dairy) a couple of years ago and it just feels more real. Sounds delicious!

I love that you're making your own butter. There's something just so "old fashioned" about it, and maybe that's why I like it, lol.<br /><br />I don't know if you've read my post today but I made my own tortillas and it was actually fun.<br /><br />I think I'll tackle bagles and/or yogurt next and maybe one day I'll do butter too. Still want to try making my own laundry detergent too.<br /><br />All that little money all adds up into big savings! Phoebe, this is just so cool! I love that you're making your own butter.

I did this with the raw milk we get and was very happy with the results. I actually did it in the jar and it only took about 5 minutes. I've done it before with store bought heavy cream and had to shake it forever but with the real stuff it went very fast. If you let the cream warm to room temperature it seems to speed things up and add a little more flavor too. Yum! I'm glad you're enjoying your butter.
