Making Butter

I had about 1/2 a cup of whipping cream left so I thought the boys and I could try make some butter.  The boys shook it in a jar for a bit, I shook it a bunch, and we ended up with butter and buttermilk.

I poured off the buttermilk and then put the ball of butter on some paper towels and squeezed the excess liquid out and salted it a bit.  It was delicious on homemade bread!
