Homemade Butter

Last night, to go with our dinner of cheese scones and tomato soup, I finally made homemade butter. I have wanted to try this ever since I started buying local milk and cream from Snowville Creamery. Their website gives directions for making butter, ice cream and cheese.

To make butter, this is what I did:

Let cream warm up a bit to 55-65F
Pour cream into food processor (about half way to top)
Process beyond the whipped cream stage
Butter will separate from the buttermilk
Strain and rinse butter under cool water (save buttermilk for another use)
Press butter with wooden spoon until water runs clear
Ta da, you have butter!
