How to Make Your Own Butter

butterI don't care what anyone says I use butter all the time over any of those over processed "spreads" and substitutes. Have you seen how they are actually made? Just terrible. I haven't attempted to make my own butter but it sounds easy enough, if this recipe in the latest issue of Grow Your Own magazine is anything to go by.

  • Leave Double Cream to warm to room temperature
  • Pour into a clean jar until one third full. Tightly screw on lid and shake jar up and down until butter starts to form
  • keep shaking - up to 30 minutes they recommend (that's going to hurt!) until there is a lump of butter in the liquid (buttermilk)
  • Drain buttermilk into a cup and fill jar with cold water. Swirl butter around and carefully pour water away. Repeat until water is clear
  • Put butter on a board and press down on to it to force out and remaining buttermilk. Any left inside will make the butter go sour.
  • Wrap and refrigerate.
