Homemade Butter

This morning, Lucy made homemade butter. It was surprisingly easy and fun!

Here's what she did:

1. Fill a mason jar halfway with cream and pinch of salt.

2. Screw a lid on the jar and shake for about 15 minutes. (Lucy's arms got tired after about 5 minutes, so I had to help her.)

3. Remove the lid. Cream should now have a thick consistency.

4. Strain excess liquid from jar using a clean paper towel or cheese cloth. 

5. Spread and enjoy! (Refrigerate leftovers.)

Alice was a big fan.

For lunch, the girls enjoyed the homemade butter spread on some fresh, brown bread. I don't eat dairy, but I was very tempted to have a taste. Both Lucy and Alice said it was scrumptious!
