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.

1. Drain/press as much buttermilk out of the butter as you can. This will help your butter from suffering too quickly.
2. 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!
