Answer 2

How to Easily Make Butter in a Sealed Container

Want to make butter easily? Hours of research and many trials show this is the cheapest and easiest way to make fresh butter without a churn.

Things You'll Need
* Regular (not heavy) whipping cream - 1 pint
* approximately 1 tsp. of salt
* medium-sized sealable plastic container (such as Tupperware), or a Mason Jar with a lid
* cup
* paper towel/cheese cloth
* refrigerator

1. Gather your ingredients
2. Pour the cream into your container and seal the lid. Make sure that there is as little air inside as possible.
3. Start shaking at a steady pace - about one shake per second.
4. When the cream thickens to a paste, add a pinch of salt.
5. Keep shaking, but do not open the container. This is a crucial time for the butter fats.
6. When a liquid is formed, you should keep shaking steadily, about 100 more times.
7. Place paper towel/cheese cloth over cup, and make a well.
8. Slowly pour the liquid into the paper towel, and let the liquid drain into the cup below.
9. Remove the butter from the cheese cloth or paper towel.
10. Gently knead the butter, while running under very cold water to wash the butter, work the butter with your hand or utensil until all the milk is washed out and any liquid is clear,any milk left in will spoil the butter.
11. Add salt to taste.
12. Let cool and set overnight.
13. Enjoy on crackers, toast, etc.

Tips
* It is very important to shake at a steady pace. Changes in speed will ruin your butter.

Warnings
* Do not open after adding salt unless you want sour buttermilk.

recipe to make Easy Homemade Butter

You will need whipping cream and a glass jar with a lid.


The more cream you use, the larger
the jar should be. Use a small jar if you are just using 1/4 cup cream.
Place the cream in the jar. Cover with the lid.

Now, Shake, shake shake and shake!
Keep shaking till the cream turns into butter. You may request other family members to help you shake, cause
this may take a while!

----------0r try this

Materials:
1 quart-size glass jar with a screw-top lid
2 cups of whipping cream
mixing bowl
4-5 ice cubes (leave in freezer until ready to use)
1/4 teaspoon salt
butter dish

Procedure:
1. Wash the jar and lid thoroughly with a little dish soap and hot water. Dry completely.
2. Take cream from refrigerator (leave it in its sealed container). Place cream and jar in a warm place such as next to the stove or in the sun. Let stand for two hours.
3. Put warm cram in the jar and tighten on the lid. Hold the jar with one end in each hand. Shake up and down non-stop for 15 to 20 minutes. Now is the time to try those rhymes! Also, try taking turns with a friend.
4. As the butter begins to form from the cream it will separate or "gather" and stick together in a solid mass. If, after 20 minutes, butter has not begun to gather, add a few teaspoons of hot water, replace the lid and mix again.
5. Once the butter ball stops getting any larger, open the jar and pour the buttermilk into a glass. Try drinking it. Buttermilk was considered a real treat on the frontier!
6. Wash your hands with soap and hot water.
7. Put the butter in the mixing bowl and add the ice cubes. Work the melt water into the butter just until it feels cold. Discard the remaining ice cubes and water.
8. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the surface of the butter and then mix it into the butter until it completely disappears.
9. Shape the butter into any pattern you like - a square, star, circle, flower, animal or any think you like. Pioneers often had carved butter molds the they pressed their new butter into. When they came out of the mold, the butter had a beautiful pattern in it.
10. Place it on the butter dish and store it in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Answer 4

Get a pint of heavy cream as cold as possible. Chill your mixer blades and a metal bowl. Pour the chilled cream into the bowl and whip on high. Add a pinch of salt if you must. Just keep going after the whipped cream stage and you will get butter. Just pour off the liquid that's left. If you want to have fun with some kids put the cold cream in a heavy glass jar with a wooden bead and let them shake. It takes a while but it works.

Answer 5

Use a blender:
Butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup ice water
Pour the cream into the blender container and cover.
Blend on the lowest speed until the cream begins to thicken around the blades.
While continuing to blend, pour the ice water through the opening in the lid.
Raise the speed to the 4th lowest speed and blend until butter forms, about 2 minutes longer.
Transfer the butter into a strainer to drain.
Then pack it into a butter mold or form into squares and chill.

Answer 6

Bring the cream to room temperature and beat it with a hand mixer or with an electric mixer on lowest speed until the butter forms.
