The Great Butter Adventure of '09!

[naturallypixie]

I said I was going to make butter, and I did! Super easy with the Kitchen-Aid.

First, I started with fresh, organic heavy cream.



Then I poured it in my Kitchen-Aid and put it on low.


It went through several stages.





Look! It's almost butter :)



Buttermilk poured off.


Rinsed and squeezed.


And the leftover buttermilk.



This was way awesome and I just might do it again.

Next time, you should do it by shaking it in a tupperware.. then you won't even be using electricity!

Maybe when I need a good arm workout!

How did you rinse it? That's the part I'm nervous about.

I held it under running water for a bit then squeezed the remaining buttermilk out of it and rinsed, then repeated. It was really easy, just a little messy on the hands!
