better butter

i challenge you:
trying "churning" your own butter at least once. rewards for your hard work?
stronger forearms. rich golden, creamy butter. buttermilk! and the street cred for having made your own.

it's easiest to simply place cream in lidded jar and... shake! after a few minutes, you will start to hear a thunk against the sides as the buttermilk separates from the butter. give a few more shakes until you see the two distinct forms. add a bit of sea salt and voilà!

*extra special? add fresh Herbs de Provence and roll into log on saran wrap. refrigerate until solid and slice into medallions to top any dish for extra 'wow' factor.
