Hi alictait,
If you whip the cream you can freeze it to use another time, or you could make your own butter....if you have a food processor it only takes minutes.

thanks there - interested in both of these - only thing is do I have enough space in my freezer for all that whipped cream - would it keep like it is ?If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.0 -
No it needs to be whipped, but when it's whipped it should fit back into it's carton.

I didnt know that - I thought when it was whipped it would have all the air in it aswell - hence taking up more mass !!!
Anyway - looking into this butter thing, Do you think id be better with a food processor with a blade - or my kenwood chef ?If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.0 -

I used to think the same about the air in the cream until I tried it. I made butter in the food processor using a plastic blade, but I'm sure it would work equally well in the kenwood chef.

Think illl give it a bash - did you let the cream get to room temperature first or do it whilst it was cold ? Im just worried that the cream turns before I use it, however I dont think that it will really matter anyway will it ?If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.0

It won't turn....It was reduced double cream that I used and it was fine. I think it's important to let it get to room temperature.0

Thanks for your help - ill take it out last thing tonight then and use it when I get home from work tomorrow (about 1)
Cheers
