Why have I not tried this before ?? and the field trip in grade six doesn't count ! If I could do it then, why couldn't I do it now. So after watching a quick video clip on how to make your own with a food pro, I decided to try a slightly more manual way . Just using a mason jar and heavy cream. That's it!!
My other thought was, can I save money by doing this ?? Good butter is $4 to 5 a pound here ( I don't like the cheap butter , it has more than cream and salt ) So can I do it ?? Read below and find out.

| Heavy Cream ( 35% ) and a mason jar with a lid is all you need |
 |
| Start by pouring half the cream (250ml ) into the mason jar, secure the lid and start shaking ... pretend your one of those paint can shakers in the hardware store and go to it. This was after ten minutes of shaking , I had some very thick cream ... time to switch methods a little. |
 |
| I used the handle from a spatula to finish the job .. 10 more minutes of stirring. |
At this point , if you wanted to add flavourings .. this would be the time. I wanted to try a plain unsalted batch before I started messing around. Salt, Garlic, Fresh Herbs etc.. the list can go on.
