Well, today I decided to try my hand at making butter. I used
this tutorial to show me how. I had
alot of fun and it was
sooooo cool to see the process happen.
I used 64 fluid
ozs of heavy whipping cream.

Here's the cream coming to room temperature
Thankfully I have an automatic whisk that I was able to use to make the butter.

Here it is becoming more stiff

Here it is turning to butter and
separating from the buttermilk.

I got about 1 quart of buttermilk from it. Which homemade buttermilk tastes pretty darn good.

Here it is while I'm still trying to get all the buttermilk out.

Here I am rinsing the butter with water to
completely clean out the buttermilk. I probably rinsed and stirred it 15-20 times. I wanted to make sure it was really clean :D

Here I'm trying to get all of the water out. (this was the part I hated the most)

Here it is all finished. The butter in my
tupperware is in my refrigerator waiting to be used. And the two wrapped up are in my freezer.

It tastes really good!!!

Cool!
IM sooo doing this!!! great JOb!
do i have to have THAT much whipping cream? I only got 2 small things at the commissary cause thats all they had.
no, you can have as little or as much as you want. i got this much because i wanted alot of butter. also the amount of butter will be less than the amount of whipping cream you have.
