Butter!

Have you ever come across something that sounded too easy.  "If it were really that easy why don't more people do it?" you ask yourself, and then that nagging thought creeps in..."why don't I try it?"   This was my experience when I first read how to make butter.  All you do is pour heavy whipping cream into a mason jar to about the half way mark, put a lid on the jar and then shake.  THAT'S IT!  And that nagging thought, oh yeah it won out and I made butter!
You have to shake the heavy whipping cream for awhile and then like magic the butter milk and butter separate.  Make sure to squeeze out the butter milk or your butter will go bad faster.  Plus, if you like salt in your butter you can mix it in after you separate it from the milk.  so easy and everyone will be surprised that something so simple worked.
