Making Butter
Buy heavy cream. Put it in a jar and shake for a very very long time. It will eventually become butter. (Alternately, you can use a food processor to speed up the process.) After you have little lumps and flakes of butter, you must "wash" it. Drain the liquid (save it for making cream based soups!) And mold the butter into a lump. Under cold running water, knead it gently for 5 minutes (I fold, press flat, fold, press flat, etc). Add salt, if desired (I don't), knead it in to distribute it evenly. Mold, then refrigerate.
