How to make butter in a mason jar
- Fill about half of the mason jar with heavy cream and put the lid on.

- Wash the butter in some cold water and add some salt or herbs.
How to make butter with a whisk
- Add the heavy cream to a mixing bowl and beat it with a whisk until the solids start to separate from the liquids.
- Pour the liquids through a sieve and wash the butter until the water becomes clear.
How to make butter with a (stand)mixer
- Start mixing the cream at a low speed, and when the cream starts to thicken, increase the speed.
- After a few minutes, you'll notice that the solids will separate from the liquids, and you will hear a slushing sound.
How to wash the butter
- Whichever method you use, you will have to wash the butter. Separate the solids from the liquids by using a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
- Put the butter into a bowl of cold water and press it with your hands into a ball. You repeat this step 2-3 times until the water is clear.
