She was the teacher in the pre-school class and she used to put the heavy cream into an empty 2-liter soda bottle (which she would thoroughly clean beforehand). After putting the cream in the bottle, she would let the toddlers in her class roll the bottles back and forth between them on the floor until the butter formed. Then she would serve warm rolls with the butter and a little honey to them. The kids were amazed and delighted every time to see the results of their “play” turn into something good to eat.

What a wonderful memory with your mother, Betty!
Hope many more kids get to have that experience through this experiment.

My mother would save the cream in a basin. When she had enough we would put it in a wooden churn. Then turn the handle for a long time and wella butter!

I made the butter just before dinner, so we had it on garlic toast already. I cant wait to experiment and come up with different recipes and flavors.

Thanks for sharing.

We really just add a little salt to taste.

I grew up on a farm, but ours was pigs, chickens and goats. I always enjoyed ” churned” butter, and this was much easier than the big butter churn. I don’t know if anyone still churns butter at home or not. If you don’t mind, I would love to share this with my Mom, her grandkids, and mine. This was great! THANK YOU

Hello Tami,
Great question! The only things you need to make butter are 8 oz or more of heavy whipping cream {room temp}, a mason jar, 2 marbles {optional}, and a medium sized bowl.
I hope this helps!
Warmly,
Kimberleigh
