Homemade Butter – The Original Elbow Grease

When I saw my friend, Jennifer Perillo, do a homemade butter post on her great blog, In Jennies Kitchen, I thought it would make for a very cool video recipe here. 

The problem was I have the worlds ugliest food processor. Its chipped, yellowed from age, and simply not a good look. But it still works fine, so Im not able to make myself throw it away and get another. Then I thought about doing a real homemade butter video; a true handmade version, without using any machinery whatsoever, save for the finely sculpted apparatus that is my arm. 

Besides not having to show my lame processor, I would also have the opportunity to do some Shake Weight jokes (among others); talk about a win win! Anyway, as youll see, this technique worked wonderfully and really was a lot of fun. 

It tasted exactly like good supermarket butter. Of course, since it takes a lot more effort to do, and probably costs more to make than buy, youre probably wondering why bother?

Thats a great question, and one I really hope you dont ask yourself before giving this a try. By the way, if you are a regular butter maker, please feel free to share any tips and tricks you may have. Enjoy!
