Making my own butter! (merged)

I hardly ever see reduced cream round here so either I live in a reduced cream free area or there are too many other MSE'ers round here snapping it up before me
I might buy some full priced cream actually - not very MSE but the memories will be worth every penny (not to mention that it should impress the FMIL when she visits this weekend!)

For those who don't have a Kenwood....

The Sunday Telegraph Magazine some weeks ago had an article by Richard Corrigan, "A better bit of butter" (sorry, there's no date on the pages I ripped out) and he suggested a Tupperware box and lid with a couple of glass marbles in to provide the agitation.

That might make it a bit easier than just shaking it.

I'm going to try it anyway!

Sainsburys are doing cream half price at the moment.
Just bought 4 pints and made a batch of butter in my food processor.
Looks yummy!!

I tried this at school today. We had children rolling screw top jars up and down the hall with double cream in it. Luckily I got it half price. By the end of the afternoon we had this awfull smelling mess! What did we do wrong? I have thought that it may have been the muggy weather we have right now. Anybody got any ideas?

just tried this today - not too convinced with the results though.......... i think perhaps i should have shook it a bit longer

ah well, guess i'll just have to experiment and practice

I've just had a go at this too, using my electric hand mixer. Very successful, took me about 5 minutes to produce the butter and another 5 to wash it

Hi All

Some months ago I saw a thread with some fairly detailed instructions on how to make home made butter from double cream. I looked at the thread on butter making in the mega index, but that isn't the one I'm thinking of - it doesn't have detailed info.

I have a Bosch Concept kitchen machine which has a mixing bowl, a food processor, a liquidiser (and many other fab attachments, which cannot be relevant to butter making).

Could someone tell me how I make butter please?

Or if anyone knows and can find the thread I mean, a link would be great.

Thank you

We made butter the other day, by placing some double cream in a jam jar, and shaking it!!!! After about 10 mins, it came together in a ball, and the liquid that was left (the butter milk) i used making some scones!!!

Would the thread that you have in mind be this one:-
