My neice makes butter in a mason jar just by shaking it, She adds a little salt when its done.

Got a cup! Tastes great plain! I'm sure even better if it were flavored!

My 2ond grade teacher had us pass and shake a mason jar full of cream until it turned into butter one day at school...I'd love to have access to raw milk so i could have fresh butter too. So jealous. And to all of you who have milking cows...I'm greeen with envy, and very very very jealous.

I want to make butter but the part that kind of made me not try was the drying part. Where did you get your milk?

I just use a food processor when making it with store bought. You might try cultured butter, too. I've not done that but you add culture from buttermilk, kefir may work, too. Leave on the counter a day, then make into butter. More complex flavor. I think some of the good European butters are cultured.
