So here is how I make butter. 1 quart jar with a lid 2 pinches sea salt 1 quart heavy cream Place all ingredients in jar place lid on jar.. Now shake it up roll it around back and fourth on the ground keep it moving around in the jar till the magic  happens. Which is about 30 min You will end up with about a cup of butter. The liquid that's left in jar makes a awesome meat tenderiser.
