Making Butter

Well, this wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. This is what you will need:

baby food jar
heavy cream
salt
marble

Directions: Put the marble in the jar and fill the jar a little over half full. Pour in a little salt. Have the kids shake the baby food for for about 10 to 15 minutes. Or until the fat collects in a ball around the marble. This is butter

Pour out the liquid. This is buttermilk. If any of the the buttermilk is left in the butter, the butter will rot. So you need to rinse it out. Keep the butter in the jar and pour water into it. Shake the jar and dump it out again. Keep doing this until the water pours out clear. Once this happens you are done! Enjoy!
