It's true. There's a modern way to make
butter that is easy on the arms and tastes
just as good as butter in the old days on
the farm.
This modern-day tried and true 'how to
make butter at home' recipe comes from a
GoodByeCityLife reader who has been
making butter in her country home for
years!

The Basics of Making Butter
The best cream for making butter at home
is one with a high fat content. The cream
from Jersey cows or Nubian goats works
well, but in fact any cream will do!

Separate: First you'll want to separate
your cream from the milk. I just use a
ladle to spoon off the cream (it floats on
top) from the milk. You could go out and
purchase a new cream separator, but they
are rather expensive and don't save you
that much time or money in the long run.

vary depending on the cream and the
power of your blender.
Stir: Continue to stir the mixture every 30
seconds or so until the butter mixture has
reached the consistency you're after. If
you want a hard butter, like the kind you
buy in the grocery store, the mixture at
this stage will appear a tad thin, but once
it's chilled it should keep the shape of any
container you place it in.

But first...Strain: Pour the mixture
through a strainer. One of those really fine
wire mesh strainers is fine. The liquid
coming out the bottom is buttermilk,
which can be saved or discarded. The solid
part left in the strainer will be your butter.
Buttermilk is a delicacy to many. I've seen
many people add salt to buttermilk and
enjoy it. It's not to my tastes so I use it in
my baking (bread, muffins, etc.).
Finally: Your next and final step is to
rinse the butter very well, squeezing out
any excess moisture. Removing excess
moisture elongates the shelf life of the
butter you made. Pour the butter into a
mold, (any container lined with plastic
wrap will do).
Final Pointers on Making Butter
Wrap the butter up and freeze it
until you need it.
Once solidified, homemade butter
can be removed from the mold.
Some people prefer salted butter this should be done after the first
stage of whipping the butter in the
blender.
I realize this is not as "homestead" as the
original method to making butter, but it is
quick and easy.
I couldn't imagine churning by hand!
