I have a stoneware butter tray and cover I bought in England. Do you suppose that would work in keeping out fridge odors?
I’ll try your recipe when I can get some cream at the store (I hate shopping so I’m going to have to force myself to go).

[...] Oh em gee… homemade butter with bonus buttermilk. That sounds wonderful. I just don’t know how quickly we could use it. Of course, if it is [...]

I was just telling everyone in my family about this “butter” we made in elementary school – there’s nothing like it! Cannot wait to try this at home. Thank you for the recipe!

My grandmother makes all her butter homemade, and it makes such a difference! Your recipe sounds pretty simple, and I’m not allowed to have hers until she dies.. that’s so not fair!

Thanks so much for the recipe! One question–for how long do you beat the butter with the first round of cold water? I had what looked like perfect butter, I added the water, and in a few seconds it had all gone to mush, and I ended up with whipped butter. Still good, but not exactly what I had in mind. Thanks!

I just made some home made butter with my stand mixer. This is my second batch. LOL. I’m gonna become addicted ~ Anyway this time I used pasteurized instead of ultra pasteurized which made a difference even though the first batch was still delicious. My suggestion is to use a good quality cream and you’ll be rewarded with some good butter. Cheers!

I am planning to make homemade butter for the first time. What I wonder about is the bacteria. If you leave it out for 12 hours to cure it isn’t it possible it can develope some harmful bacteria. Or if you squeeze it with your hands to get the buttermilk out of it, even if your hands are very clean can’t it transport any lingering bacteria on your hands onto the butter. I’d like to make homemade butter for other family members but I don’t want to take a chance on getting anyone sick.

Wow! I have been on a decided kick for going green and homemade everything lately, and while talking with a friend about back in elementary school, she remembered making butter. So then of course I had to go look it up. This seems very easy, which is nice. There were a few questions, when placing the butter in the jar, you put it all in, but only a little at a time correct? It seemed a little unclear, though it may have just been me. Also, you used a stand mixer, which I don’t have but want. How would you use a hand mixer? Or would it be better to just make it in a jar? I can’t wait to try it, I know my grandmother will love it!
