How to make Mason Jar Butter
INGREDIENTS
1 pint sized (16 oz) mason jar
1 cup heavy cream (38% fat content)
cold water
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pour heavy cream into the mason jar, filling it half-way full. Screw the lid on.
2. Shake mason jar for approximately 5-7 minutes. After the first 2 minutes you'll have whipped cream. Keep shaking until you hear that a lump has formed inside, and shake an additional 30-60 seconds after that.
3. Remove the solids from the jar. The remaining liquid is buttermilk. You can save that for other recipes, or discard it.
4. Place the solids into a small bowl. Pour cold water over the butter and use your hands to squish it into a ball. Discard water and repeat rinsing 2 times more.
5. At this point you have butter. You can add in things like salt, honey, and herbs to create flavored butters, or serve in its pure form as is.

Quick tip, if you let the cream reach room temperature it will help with the separation. It takes me 3 minutes to make.
navioner thanks for the tip
Thank you!
Thank you
Thx
AWESOME....I was thinking to myself...."Man, my arms are going to regret THIS!!" 😂😂
I followed your exact instructions WHILE I was watching your video and for the first time in my life, I MADE homemade butter. lol Thank you so much for this video! I am just so excited and giddy. I was so skeptical until I actually made it. Thank you thank you. I think if my Mom and Gramma and Grampa were alive, I think they would be laughing but proud of me.
Glad you had the chance to make it!!
Charlie M. Yeah I'm glad 😊😁,,,,,I told my son about it and took over the jar and hevy cream ,the next day he had mush 🤔
Awww! T U T
Aww that's sweet🥰
The Stay At Home Chef 👩🍳 How much salt 🧂 should you add?
"I'm going to sleep early tonight....
Me at 1Am:
Same but at 3am
It's actually 1 AM for me too 😂
I’m at 4:19am here haha
You are stalking me from 9 months ago under my blanket
It’s 1:00 am right now too!
Love this! This gave me a flashback to kindergarten when our teacher had our class sit in a circle and she put cream in a mason jar and we all took turns shaking and then passing the jar to the person next to us. We were all amazed that we made butter. One of the few things I remember from 40 some years ago. Thanks for the refresher course. Very cool! 😉 👍🏼 ❤️
my teacher used to do that too, 3 times a week, one weekend my parents found him in a farmer market selling "home made butter" 😂😂.
@@FreedOrDieTryingnooooo hahahaha child labor 😂😂😂
We got this in preschool where I am, over 20 years ago, too!
Yes me too as a kid
Priceless
I`m still traumatized about my first day of kindergarten! 57yrs old
Butter is just heavy cream? Mind. Blown. 🤯
Lol!!! I was thinking the same thing.
You're Welcome! Yep
See how they kept this a secret. With a little experimenting you could make smaller batches and know how it will turn out.
We made this in my Girl Scout (Brownies) troop about 45 years ago. I know now that some people like to use a drop of yellow food coloring. Others like to use unsalted butter. Mine doesn't have to be yellow but it does need at least a pinch of salt. 😋
That's what I am sayin.. thought butter came from the grocery store!!
I think I'll try this using a five gallon bucket and a paint shaker. 😀
I was thinking like a quart or 1 gallon paint can
I wonder if Home depot would shake it up for you if you didn't have your own shaker, Lol. Maybe if you bought some paint first.
I know someone that works there so i figured i could get it done
Did ya do it????
Did it work????
Let us know 👌
@@sagenunion7417 1 gallon bucket at home depot.
Just ask them to shake it up for you.
You need to ripen your cream. Farm wives always left the cream out overnight in the churn to ripen. This gives the butter a much better flavor as well as letting it seperate much easier.
So we can just leave a carton of heavy cream on the counter overnight?
@@kimchi8022 It's what I got out of it. Need recipes ppl!
They also used raw milk...
@@jeremyr7147 With the highest fat content you can have so your arms don't fall off.
kimberly miller
NO! You definitely don’t want to do that with pasteurized cream. Much better to get cream from a non factory farm source. Then you can get raw cream. Unless of course the state has declared that to be a crime in your area
Thanks so much for this! You gave me the missing link I was looking for. I had made butter before in the past but it would not firm up well and started spoiling so quickly. Now after watching your video I realize that it still had too much butter milk left in it. I strained and washed off all the butter milk like you suggested and voila...perfect butter!! It tastes delicious and my family is so impressed!
I grew up a rugged city boy, never new that about making homemade butter in a mason jar and i love it simple and ez badass. thanxs
Video blessed by the CZcams algorithm after 2 years.
Spot on
My siblings and I also made butter like this when we were kids on the 1960s and early 1970s.
We also used raw milk/cream for our butter - use to buy it from a local farmer in wide-mouth gallon jars...and each gallon would have like 2 inches of cream floating on the top of the milk.
My mom also use to make a sour butter. She would let cream sit in the fridge and she would smell it every day. The first day she smelled it and it smelled slightly 'off' she turned it into butter. So we had the choice of sweet butter and sour butter. I rather liked the sour butter.
Raw dairy is a great way to get sick
@@horsegirlb7120 I drink raw dairy all the time. And raw milk, the way it's produced now, the odds of it making any one sick is super super low.
With approximately 9.4 million people drinking raw milk, that means you have about a 1 in 6 million chance of being hospitalized from drinking raw milk.
Also, for about 15 years it was illegal to sell raw dairy in Idaho, but they dropped that law and we can once again get raw dairy. Our local store has raw milk being sold right along side 'brand name' pasteurized milk.
You are under this concept that raw milk production now is like that from the time when Old McDonald didn't use sanitary methods in collecting milk, nor had to muck out the barns, TEST his cows and their milk for harmful bacteria...etc.
Raw milk is better for your gut than that desert of white sugar water with some cream blended in so much that it can't form on top stuff they sale for milk.
The raw milk dairymen, have their barns and milk production tested more often and their standards for keeping healthy clean cows is far greater than that of milk producers who know their milk is going to be sterilized and homogenized.
Again, raw milk sold in stores, the dairymen have to pass stringent inspections and levels of sanitation. I drink raw milk as much as possible...and only because I'm poor I can't afford it, as the mass produced sterilized milk is cheaper.
I haven't thought about butter making since grade-school. Thank you for the memory and for the updated container size along with the rinsing steps which I do not recall from grade school!
couple this with a simple homemade bread recipe and you'll be kicking it like great grandma used to.
Well good news for you is that i do have some simple and delicous homemade bread recipes on this channel!
And that perfect time is now 😂
Make beer bread it’s SUPER simple
That fresh buttermilk makes the BEST pancakes!
I am definitely going to try this. You have inspired me. To have butter and buttermilk awesome!
I just did it this morning! Super fun and easy to make. It only took me 10 minutes from to finish, I only had a half of pint of heavy cream. Will definitely do this again!
That was amazing! You are the sweetest I have ever seen! Thank you for your story of how you grew up making the butter!
I look forward to doing this , I have a special needs child and making every thing I can . God bless you
Here in Morocco we buy raw milk we put it on hit to kill bacteria then put it in the fridge so a skin forms on top and we collect them put them in the freezer and later we shake it like this to make homemade butter ....and it is so so good.
Thanks for sharing your recepie 😻
You are welcome!
Do do you boil the raw milk?
@@cnmuchina00 yes we do ...to kill bacteria so it can last longer in the fridge
A silver coin or piece will kill bacteria nearly as if its pasteurized.
@@HellNoMoreBiden I have no idea ....but this is how we make it ....plus the taste of the raw milk is so sour
Does the silver make it less sour ???
Thanks for the information ☺
I just tried this and it was easy. After about seven minutes using roughly 4 oz of heavy cream I had a round ball of butter about twice the size of a golf ball. I added about a 1/4 thimble full of fine ground salt before shaking. Most of the salt flavor seemed to end up in the buttermilk (which didn't really taste good). The butter is pretty good. Thanks.
@@kjeldschouten-lebbing6260 It has to do with something we call: "Not being an asshole".
Learn it.
@@oaktree1626without context this reply seems so random LMAO I was like “all they said was the salt didn’t mix well 😭”
I've been churning with whisk for a week and it's still not out 🤣
Sammmeee!!! Lol
It's insane how simple this is. I was blown away by the simple way it was done. Very cool.
I just did this. My kids thought it was cool.
Just whack double cream in a food processor and turn it on........hey presto perfect butter will form, you'll also get some butter milk you can use to bake with if you want.
Then towards the end after draining out the milk, add a lil salt to taste if you like me prefer salted butter.👍🏻
Just takes out the wrist action for those unable to do this method.
I used the same sized jar and same quantity of heavy cream. It took 6 minutes to be whipped cream. 14 minutes for the whipped cream to separate and 16 for it to be butter. Be prepared for lots of shaking.
Same experience for me.
Oh good, because I tried this and got whipped cream so we just ate that on ice cream instead. Didn't know we needed to keep going 😂
For homemade and to try that's fine but if you get tired and mess up, you can just buy Breakstone butter. It's good and comes salted and unsalted. It's very similar..
@@itsjustme5030 Glad it's not just me...My arms were falling off after almost 10 minutes. I finally just got excited I had salted whipped butter and it was yummy. Maybe I could have used it salted anyway with some caramel. haha
Maybe you did it with cold cream, it's better done with room temperature cream.
I've found that a cheap wide mouthed water bottle with the squeeze nozzle works great for this. Once your butter and buttermilk seperate, you can open the nozzle and gently squeeze the bottle and empty your buttermilk out into your container of choice.
Thanks for that concise explanation and demo. I got given as a gift a 1 pound jar butter maker with two wooden balls in it to assist the ‘slam’ of the cream action. I have not used it yet but your tips have indeed inspired me! 👍🏻
Thank you. We smiled with you throughout. I remember shaking the Mason jar on grammas back porch back in the 50s. Thanks for the update on what I was doing.
In my class my teacher in forth grade we made a cowgirl and cowboy day and we made biter and it was the best butter I ever tried thanks so much now I can do it ❤️
Haha sounds like a cool 4th grade teacher
Me, too! We did it in Science class, and my teacher had us run around the building to “shake” the buttermilk. Afterward, he gave us crackers to spread the butter on. Delish!
Rachell Lopez yesssss we did too!!! When we were studying the Gold Rush !! Making the butter was my favorite part
My 1st grade teacher had her class get in a circle and we tooks turns shaking the jars of butter. She made us muffins with the butter that we made. I remember after all these years (45).
same! except we went to a gold rush field trip and they taught us how to do it there!
That's super cool! It helps to see what it looks like at each stage. I've tried this before, but gave up because I stopped too soon when I still had lumpy whipped cream instead of the glob of butter. I just tried again and success :) Thank you for the video - now I'm off to check out the rest of your channel!
This is great! Another fun activity to do with my grandkids when they visit... The treats I could make them using the butter are endless! Butter and honey biscuits come to mind first 😊 Thanks!
Susan Hernandez popcorn
It's also a great way to wear them out and get them tired, all that arm exercise, Hahahahahahahahaha
I did this years ago with my kids for a project after going to a dairy farm for a homeschool field trip and they loved it. Going to try it again with my younger kids who are older enough now, and since my favorite butter is no longer being sold.
I have been making butter for 5 months and I don't buy store butter anymore for food stores and I tastes much better.😍🤗😄
Try making ghee with the butter you make, it seems like something youd like.
You did a great job explaining this! Thanks for taking the time to do so!
I tried this last week, its amazing how easy it was, no fancy equipment and an amazing ball of butter! Thank you !
Much better than a shakeweight!
*much butter
@@djm805 uhhh...huh huh.
Certainly much more productive.....
Aaaaannndd, I instantly like you🤗
I was sore the next day!
Thank you so much for sharing this! After i saw your video i was intrigued so i had to try it right away and OMG, it is so easy to make it! Apart from being an fun arm workout 🤣 it is also so satisfying to make it yourself! It taste fresh and delicious, i will hardly buy butter at the supermarket again.😍
This is the most interesting I have watched in a while and I am definitely going to try it!!
Nice simple, straight to the point step by step recipe video. Tysm! It’s been years since I’ve made butter and I just wanted to refresh my memory and this video was spot on. Definitely got a new sub with me 😊
I love your channel, I was actually quite surprised to see how easy this was. I'm totally doing this from now on.
This is nice. I didn’t know. Plus, I have some of those Yoplai Mini jars - the shortest ones and I have some of those stretch silicone lids that actually fit them, although it wasn’t planned. I can make a separately-flavored compound butter for each jar, which is perfect for me as, I live alone.
Shut the front door😱😀. Home butter made that easy👍. So long Land O Lake's✌️👋🤚. Great Idea can't wait to try.
It can be even easier if you have a hand mixer or stand mixer (:
let me know how it turned out.....👍
@@user-gz5pq9hm8t Hello, it was not that bad. I just added a touch of salt to mine. Hope you try and enjoy.😀
Too many emojis...
@@tedthehead1236 I didn't know that you were the emoji police. 👮👮👮👮🕵️. Lame azz comment 😂🖕👀💩💩💩🕵️👮🖕👀👀👀👀💩💩💩💩💩💩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Have a great day.
Sweet agree with about the Pioneers handme down recipes my granny taught me to make butter out the ground and buttermilk from the churn.
Omg!! This is just so fascinating! I NEVER knew this was even possible! So cool!
That's just an awesome method to easily make butter! You're the best ! Subscribed!
Oh wow! I make my own bread, and that butter is a perfect match! I’m going to try to make it, today ... thank you 🍞☀️🌻🐝 blessings
You are welcome! Hope you like it (:
Simply Brilliant. Thanks for such a great video. I honestly never knew it was so simple to make butter. Keep up the great work.
Wow, I never would have thought it was that simple. I was eating toast and decided to type butter in the search bar and here I am. Learning how to make my own butter!
took me a good 12 minutes lol. Dont give up! it will do exactly as she says!
Haha ya some times it takes awhile
I’ve been shaking for half an hour!!! 😭😂😭
I whisk HWC in my KitchenAid and let it do the work. Don't forget that you can make fancier butters by adding different seasonings. I usually gift specialty butters or homemade jams for the holidays.
Gifting fancy, homemade butter? Genius!!!
Define"fancy homemade" flavors ?
Did this years ago and it worked perfectly. The only change I made was to put the new ball of fresh butter onto a square of clean unbleached muslin, twisted the top and kept squeezing the twisted top to remove as much water as possible. then stored it in the refrigerator.
I tried it... I can confirm that it does work. Thank you for sharing!
Cool you brought back some tearful memories 😊
WoW...I'm a city girl & who knew?
NO more store bought "butter" 4 me!
GR8 vid!!!
You don't have internet in the city?
@@Kube_Dog No dummy she ment she always bought her butter because she is a city girl
@@jaidynreneee People in the country buy their butter too. Probably no more of them make their own than people in the city do. It's not about where you live. It's about how enthusiastic you are about doing some things like this for yourself. I think there are more woke hippie city douche bags making butter than there are genuine old school country folk with cows and operational small farms doing it.
It'll be easier and less time consuming to just buy butter lmao
You'll buy cream anyways
Hello. My name is Cathie, and I just watched your video on how to make homemade butter. My Dad made homemade butter one Christmas when I was a girl, using the hand mixer. It was fantastic! Thank you so much.
I made butter in a Mason jar this week, and I felt like a wizard!! It was SO good!
Wow so simple, Thank you!
You're fab!
I'll never run out of butter again brilliant
My only thing is how much does all that cream cost?! Hehe. How can I make my own cream?
But this is definitely cool. Running out to get cream right now to try for myself. I knew I saved those jars for a reason.
just made it! it took a lot of shaking for mine, but I'd reccomend this to anyone looking for an old fashioned activity with a tasty result. plus, the possibilities are endless for the add-ins.
This was such a great and simple video. I really enjoyed it and I learnt to make butter. Thank you!! 😀
I learned this in my school today and it taste good
We did this in kindergarten at an assembly. The jar was passed around the whole circle and we were shown butter at the end 😊 good times. I'm a vegan now, don't miss it too much. What I didn't know was that's where buttermilk comes from😁 hurrah!
you can replicate this with coconut milk or cashew milk
LOVE THAT YOU PUT YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR LATER FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CANNOT COOK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
You are welcome (: Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this! I knew it could be done and I wanted to make my own, but didn't know how. Now I do and very soon I will make some!!!
Omg, I witnessed a miracle!! Butter in a jar just by shaking the jar of heavy cream!! Hard to believe.
Wow this is way easy. And butter at the supermarket is so expensive.
Definitely going to try it! I never knew how easy it is to make butter..Thank you!
Haha shaking it can be a workout but besides that part, it is pretty easy (:
@@ThestayathomechefHow about putting the mason jar in a paint can shaker? That might make it quite a bit easier. Regardless, great video. Thank you 😊
I'm floored by this video.
I'm subscribing.
I remember makeing this and ice cream in school when I was younger. One of the most fun things ever
I can't BELIEVE it's not butter
o no u didnt
I Kent beleive its not bodda..lol
It's not, its budder.
Lol
Butter is so delicious 😍 , thank you for this fun activity 😊
@Pineapples ?
So glad I came across this! Room temp heavy organic whipping cream and oh my what wonderful butter we have - Thank you so much!!
Ridiculously simple! Can’t wait to try this! Thanks for the video!
You are welcome!
I'm going to use a paint mixer at the auto body shop to shake up the butter lol
Dark Horse haha I definitely though about the one Walmart uses while I did the shaking.
I thought bout the one at Lowe’s were they do the paint lol
Dark Horse way to go bro
That's exactly what i thought!😂😂😂
You my friend, are a legend
"Buttermilk Chocolate Cake?!"
My head exploded.
I subbed and liked, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching (: Let me know when you try out the buttermilk chocolate cake!
I prefer a chocolate mayonnaise cake. Sooooo good.
i cannot wait to make this with my children! thank you for your video!
It was so cool to learn how to make butter in a jar via your childhood experiences. Thank you so much for sharing and I’ll be trying this process today. Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
Your husband or boyfriend must love you 😂
Butter on tap😆
That's exactly (not) what I was thinking. Butter on tap indeed
doonesbury 73 there are jokes about churning butter.
doonesbury 73 Shoot! I love her and am a female! I love the tips!
Lol
This. is. AWESOME. I can't wait to try this!
How did it go? Did you do it?
@@Kube_Dog 1 yr later back at you man.
@@scorpion8rage I bet the butter is rancid by now.
@@Kube_Dog 🤣🤣🤣
I never knew it was this simple...awesome vid!
❤ I love how you go step by step
PRO TIP ;)) Do NOT put a marble in the jar to help agitate unless you want a butter bath when the bottom of the jar pops !!
Have you done that?
😆
This is why I always read the comment section before asking questions!
I've been a gearhead my whole life and I'm constantly thinking "If I _____________ I'd improve on this method." Only to find out the hard way that there are reasons my idea won't work.
Now, what about a rubber ball?
Thank you for the PSA. :)
Actually those plastic or silicone balls they put in Guinness cans now work pretty well.
@@tnlongyrs those plastic or silicone balls they put in Guinness cans work well.
Wow! I can do this!
I know this is an older video. But I still have to say thank you so so much for your video! My wife and I have a new to us 20 acre farm that we JUST took over. Now neither of us is a so called “city slicker” but we don’t know everything about farming either. Now no matter all that we’re still excited to learn to get our hands dirty and to provide for our family.
Nice video, thanks for sharing a bit of your childhood with us.
Or 1hour n 35 min's rolling the Mason jar on the floor while rocking in your rocking chair and crotcheting
😭🤣🤣
Possibly the best mental image I've had in days.
😍👌 love it
Sounds like an ADHD dream come true
YES it is. But don't forget the Saran wrap on the top of the jar before to put the lid on or else she'll have a mess.
And All while I am Chewing gum.
Who needs a gym? Just make butter, baby! 👍🏼💪🏼👌🏻
haha!
they cancel each other out
Great video Stay at Home Chef. My grand-daughter had a ton of fun making butter for her french toast, and learned a thing or two about how folks lived before super markets.
Glad to hear your grand - daughter loved it!
Never knew this! Thanks for sharing!
nice. how long does it last in the fridge? and does it work w/ ultra-pasturized? tks.
This is literally a 2 in 1 like your Getting a workout AND butter 🤗👍
Haha that is a good way to think of it!
4 in 1, cause now you know how to make whipped cream and buttermilk too
@@lovinavargas1819 well yeah true for those who dont know how to make homemade buttermilk and whipped cream yeah
This is just beautiful. Thank you so much.
I’m about to make some right now to put on some campfire potatoes. I just needed to double check how long it takes by jar. Thank you so much for this helpful video!!!!
Wow, I never knew it was that easy. Thank you so much!
You are welcome!
I've been making butter since 1960, but we used fresh milk that had separated.....
I was very impressed that this worked . It took alot more then 8 mins but it worked great .
I dod this and it was soo much fun and my mom loves how it turned out thank you so much for this!
Wow I never knew how butter was made!
😂😂 that’s sad
Mostly not. They just take it off the butter pines
Unfortunately most heavy creams today include some kind of gum as a stabilizer. Don't know who the idiot was at the FDA that decided to do this but I wish they would remove all gums
Heavy cream shouldn't have anything in it. Make sure it is heavy cream and not whipping cream you are buying from the store
@@TheReTurnersFlips Yes, both now have carrageenan or xanthan gum in most mainstream brands. Even the so-called "organic" are now including this. It's disgusting.
It was some guy temporarily appointed by Nixon .
@@TheReTurnersFlips I cant find any heavy cream with gum. Guar gum or gellan gum is always in them.
She is right, Publix Heavy Cream has cellulose gum. Probably to stabilize it in shipping. My guess is need to get organic.
I grew up in Oregon and that was one of the things I remember doing as a kid as well :)
I'm glad this was recomended. Thank you!
