How to make butter the easy way
Oct 11, 2022
On the Homestead we go through about two sticks of butter or half a pound of butter per week (at least).
Thankfully we have a jersey milk cow who is sharing her cream with us. If you don’t have a family milk cow simply use heavy whipping cream for this recipe.
You only need two ingredients for this butter:
- 4 Cups Cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
This recipe will make 1/2 cup sticks of butter.
There are a couple tips we want to share for keeping your butter fresh longer.
- Drain/press as much buttermilk out of the butter as you can. This will help your butter from suffering too quickly.
- After making your butter put it in the freezer until you know you’re going to use it. Butter will last up to a year in the freezer!
We would love to know what you think about this recipe or if you have any tips for your butter making please share!
