Making Butter

Ingredients

• Buy heavy cream. Put it in a jar and shake for a very very long
• time. It will eventually become butter. (Alternately, you can
• use a food processor to speed up the process.) After you have
• little lumps and flakes of butter, you must "wash" it. Drain the
• liquid (save it for making cream based soups!) And mold the butter
• into a lump. Under cold running water, knead it gently for 5
• minutes (I fold, press flat, fold, press flat, etc). Add salt, if
• desired (I don't), knead it in to distribute it evenly. Mold, then
• refrigerate.
