one jar with a tight fitting screw on lid

a pinch of salt

2 marbles

heavy whipping cream filled about 1/2 way

a child cooped up on a rainy day with lots of energy to shake and shake and shake

= surprisingly delicious and creamy homemade butter.

I just wanted to let you know, the marbles are helpful, but not necessary, and they can potentially break the jar. (big mess.) Also, if you keep shaking and shaking the fat will separate from the water and you can strain it off and have the hard kinda butter to bake with. Very cool blog btw.

Welcome aboard Lee-Anne and Sarah and thank you for the kind words.

Mamaroots - be careful, your butter intake will increase dramatically. I am looking for excuses to have butter now!

Michelle - thank you for the tips! We are rookies at this and I have the feeling we'll try it again. Help is always appreciated!
