Yeah, that's right, I said Homemade Butter!  Impressed yet?  Well, don't be too impressed, it was really really easy!  And oh my goodness is it tasty!!  So rich and creamy!!

What you'll need:

heavy cream, room temperature 

yup, one ingredient! 

But if you would like to make salted butter, you can add a big pinch of salt.

What you'll do:

Pour cream into a airtight container with plenty of room.  I used a ziploc twist lid container. 

Next, shake it baby! (once this is over there will be no reason to hit the gym!)

First it will turn into whipped cream:

 Then it will turn grainy, then little balls of butter will form into a larger ball and a thin liquid will pull away:

Once you've got a solid and a liquid in the container.  By the way, it takes about 20 minutes of shaking!  Strain it through cheese cloth or a metal mesh strainer:

 After straining, I stored in a tupperware in the fridge.  

This is a great activity to do with your kids!  They will have a blast shaking!  

Enjoy!
