I've written before on how to make buttermilk in a mason jar, and I didn't really talk about the other product of vigorous shaking of cream: butter! You can make unsalted sweet cream butter with just heavy whipping cream and a jar, but if you're a little more adventurous and don't need to keep the buttermilk afterward, you can make this delicious garlic and herb butter. It's perfect for crusty ... ...more
