Great video on how to make butter in your food processor! I grew up on a farm, and sometimes we would churn our own butter. It was so much better than what you get in the store. Never thought about making butter in my food processor. Will definitely have to try this out.

    Oh wow, that's super! Yeah, I was always taught to put the cream in a jar, and to shake it until your arms dropped off! This is waaaaay better! A better bit of butter!

    I always end up with whipped cream instead of butter when I try to make it by hand

    When you use the 'shake the jar until your arms drop off' system, you need to keep shaking for a good 15 minutes, otherwise yeah, that's all you'll get. So near and yet so far!

    Get the cream to room temp and it goes a lot faster

    If you want better than what is in the store, you need to get organic HWC to start. Most store bought HWC has caragean (sp?) added and may have other fillers.

    That said, this looks like it is worth a try. I can definitely see making my own garlic butter this way.....
