Homemade Butter

This was so easy, and sooooo delicious!  An extra-special treat on our homemade artisan bread, which will be a future blog entry.

Homemade Butter

2 c heavy cream
1/4 t salt

Process cream in a food processor for 7-10 minutes, until the buttermilk has separated from the solid butter.  Place butter in a strainer and let drain for several minutes.  Then knead for several minutes to squeeze out the excess liquid.  Add salt to flavor and store in the refrigerator or in a butter bell.

I've made some with a small antique butter churn. I found I ended up with better butter if I used the highest butterfat in the cream I could find.
