Equipment

• Blender
• Spatula

Ingredients

• raw cream (you will want at least a couple pints)

Instructions

• Pour your raw cream into the blender
• Turn on your blender (I use the puree setting) and let it run for a few minutes. You want to wait until you see something yellow and more solid in the bottom. The blender will start to seem like it is slowing down.
• Once you have butter in the bottom of your blender, turn it off and open the lid.
• Using a spatula, push all of the butter against the side of the blender to help remove the liquid.
• Gently and quickly rinse off your butter in the sink. This will help it last longer.
• Make sure to remove all of the solid butter from the blender and store in an airtight container in your refrigerator.
• The leftover liquid is buttermilk and you can use it for baked goods, pancakes, and smoothies.

Notes

1. You can also use this recipe with pasteurized cream, but you won't get all the health benefits of raw butter. 

2. Raw butter will keep in the refrigerator for two weeks or the freezer for about 2 months. I freeze my butter in smaller portions wrapped in parchment paper so that it is easy to take out what I need.
