I remember back in grammar school, maybe 2nd or 3rd grade, the teacher passed a jar of cream around the classroom and we all took turns shaking it. Eventually, there was butter (and buttermilk). Other than that, the only "experience" I've had is when I left the mixer on too long and got whipped "butter" instead of whipped cream - lol.

What I found interesting is that I kNOW I have seen recipes that tell you just to let the cream sit- they said nothing about using cultures....but that's why I wanted to see a recipe becoming a use it's been at least two years since I investigated this topic. I am going to try this in the processor thought: the last time I made it in the strand mixer, it was a wee bit messy?? Poodlepet
Hi from Naples!
The food processor works great for butter.

I teach pre-k and today in school, we made butter! We used heavy cream and put it in a glass jar wrapped in bubble wrap and added two marbles. We shook and shook and the end result was delicious butter! The kids loved it!

I am so looking forward to an afternoon snack of hot tea and a toasted English muffin slathered with butter!! What is the weather doing in Naples? My son is in Tampa and said It's beautiful. It sounds like we will have a beautiful day tomorrow! Poodlepet
We are near Pine Island and it is cloudy and only 59 today.What a storm we had last night! However, I called family in Pa and it is snowing like crazy there so I will not complain about 59 degrees. It is nice weather for having the oven on to make pies for tomorrow.

I hope your butter comes out great! You are braver than I. I've never made butter. I bet homemade butter is entirely different from commercial butter.

My aunt and grandmother used to make butter with milk from their own cows...........but in my case that is a lost talent that I don't have.........

Poodlepet, homemade honey butter sounds delicious! What a treat!
I stumbled across this little butter maker at Sur la Table the other day. I'm debating whether to get it for myself...For $15, you get a butter making jar with the instructions right on it (BTW, it says to set it out for 6-8 hours), plus a built-in seive for straining the buttermilk out, and a ramekin that attaches to the jar--just remove the ramekin, and you have your butter! Granted, you can just make butter in any old jar, but I like it that this one has a strainer and a ramekin attached to it.
