Homemade Butter

Nothing can replace the taste of real, fresh butter.

You will need a Vitamix blender or equally powerful blender.

Ingredients: 

• 2 cups / 480 ml heavy whipping cream
• 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, optional 
• Add dry herbs, garlic, or honey for your favorite flavor

Instructions:

1. Place cream into the blender and secure lid. 
2. Select the lowest speed, turn machine on and quickly increase speed to the highest. 
3. Blend until mixture is thick. When you hear a change in the sound of the machine, turn it off. 
4. Scrape down the sides of the container with a spatula to bring ingredients into the center of the container. 
5. Reset machine to medium speed. Turn on and blend for about 5 seconds. Stop and scrape sides again. 
6. Repeat this process several times until you see the mixture start to flow more easily and liquid appears. 
7. Blend for a few seconds more until solid butter starts to set up in center of the container on top of the blades.
8. Place the butter in a fine strainer to drain.
9. Transfer the butter to a bowl and add salt to tase. Work butter with a spatula to remove as much liquid as possible.
10. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
