Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cream 1 pint
  • Salt to Taste

Instructions

  • Pour the cream into your Vitamix (or blender).
  • Select Variable 1 on the Vitamix and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then High. If you are using a traditional blender, start low and then go high.
  • Blend until the mixture is thick and you hear a change in the sound of the blender.
  • Stop the blender and scrapes down the sides with a spatula to bring the cream into the center.
  • Reset the Vitamix to Variable 5 (medium on a regular blender).
  • Turn the blender on and blend for about 5 seconds, stop and scrape sides down again.
  • Keep repeating this process several times until you see a fluid start to appear. You will know when the butter is forming.
  • Blend for a few more seconds until solid butter sets up in center of container.
  • Place butter in a fine mesh strainer to drain. Work butter with a spatula or your hands to remove as much liquid as you can.
  • Remove butter to a bowl and add salt to taste.
