💝Confession: I've Been Making Butter In Mason JarI’ve kept this secret for a few weeks. I can’t stop making small batches of butter. Cinnamon sugar, salted, unsalted, strawberry, and honey butter. Each ball of butter more delicious than the last.Start with some room temperature heavy cream. I like to use local cream when possible. In Vermont we would buy it in the prettiest and chubbiest glass bottles.
shaking a mason jar like there’s no tomorrow.
The cream thickens fairly quickly.
Boom. Whipped cream.
Oh, I’ve also been making whipped cream this way. *Insert shameful looking emoticon* You can judge me but I’ve lost five pounds this month so I’m not doing too shabby.
Maybe eating large amounts of homemade whipped cream and butter IS good for me.
Shake it like a Polaroid picture ladies. Shake until you feel completely ridiculous. Open the lid. Your cream is whipping. Whipping good (let’s see how many cheesy song references I can make).
This is not a pretty picture but I wanted you to see what the mixture looks like when the butter forms.
Separate the butter from the buttermilk. Save your buttermilk for future use. I saved mine in a jar for pancakes. It kept for a little over a week.
Carefully rinse the milk solids from your butter ball under cold water until there is no milky reside left.
Mix in some salt. Or not. Or mix in some cinnamon and brown sugar. Maybe some vanilla beans? Or some garlic and dill for a steak butter? The possibilities are endless.
