Homemade Butter

One word...delightful. Oh man. Homemade butter is just simply devine. And so crazy easy to make it isn't even funny. All you need is heavy cream. Really. Ok, and an airtight container. Oh....and little people. I definitely use my little people to make butter cause they get a huge kick out of it. *laughing*!! :)

Seriously, these are things they will remember! :) Pour a box of heavy cream in your airtight container. Close the lid well! And shake. And I mean really shake for about 20 minutes. First, you'll get a whipped cream...keep shaking...butter!

Add honey for honey butter or garlic for garlic butter. You can also add some kosher salt for salted butter (although to be honest I find the homemade butter is just SO delicious without the added salt, and I am a lover of salt).

I would suggest making different kinds. Wrap it up really well in freezer paper put in a clean airtight container and freeze for up to 8 months!

Adding herbs like, rosemary, basil or thyme makes for a really pretty (and tasteful) butter! :)
