Make
Homemade Butter in a Homemade Butter Dish Having a special dinner?
Make some homemade butter to bring and impress the hostess with a homemade
butter dish.
To make the butter dish: Cut the bottom off a water or soda bottle. Wash and dry it. Decorate
with ribbon or raffia and a couple of punched shapes.
To make the butter:
Pour the heavy cream into a jar. Make sure the lid is really tight. Shake vigorously
for about 15 minutes. A glob of butter will form. Poor off the remaining
milk. Place the butter in your dish.
(Note: instead of a jar, you can use a whisk or a
blender but the jar is more fun.)
