Yummy and so easy - I'll be dragging out my food processor to give that a whirl!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm going to try this...thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThat's IT?! Wow! I'm gonna try this! Thanks for posting. Happy housewife sent me over here. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteI liked you on Facebook! Maybe you'll return the favor? Also, I've got a$75 giveaway! Come see will ya?
Thank you so much!!! I just bought a cheesecloth because my husband wanted to make almond milk. (which is also very easy) I am going to be trying this for sure.
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! How do you measure it?
ReplyDeleteUm, are you sure that's a pound of butter? I make my butter all the time from the cream skimmed from raw cow's milk. I do anywhere from 2-4 cups of cream at a time in my blender and usually only end up with about 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups of butter. A pound of butter that you buy at the store contains 2 cups, so I just go by that instead of weighing it. I just never imagined it would be cost effective to make homemade butter from cream you had to buy at the store with the meager yield I get!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I always 'rinse' my butter in fresh water (squish the butter around in the water), to help remove some additional buttermilk. The buttermilk goes rancid rather quickly at room temp., which will ruin your butter. So the more you remove, the longer your fresh butter will taste great!
Tabby, could it be maybe you're getting some milk in there too? I always found it tricky to get just the cream, and end up getting some milk in there too.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how long homemade butter will last in the refrigerator? I know the store bought kind has a long shelf life.
ReplyDeleteHere from Happy Housewife. :)
I would recommend that you don't keep it beyond the expiration date of the cream that you used to make the butter. Also, you will know when the butter is bad; it will smell like Parmesan cheese and taste funny. But the expiration date or shelf life of the original cream is a good target to go by.
ReplyDeleteDiana, I weigh my butter on a scale.
ReplyDeleteMy kids and I made small amount of butter at an education farm last year. It was so fun. This is great to see in a but larger scale. I will definitely try this out.
ReplyDeleteCan you use kosher salt instead of sea salt?
ReplyDeleteYes you can :)
