How to make butter :)

Soo easy :)

I use thicked cream but you can use thin (non thickened cream too). I put 2 600ml jars into my food processor with the whipping attachment. And whip it and keep whipping it! Whip it past the whipped cream stage and keep going until it turns back into a liqued.

Then strain it through a strainer using your hands to squeeze the liqued out. Plonk it onto baking paper and knead like you would bread for a minute adding a few teaspoons of salt. I then press the butter into a tupperware container and chuck it in the fridge.

Here is one of mine

Sorry the picture is so crap, my camera is awful...lol

Also when and bought a white mulberry tree on saturday. It was $12! As its deciduous it jsut looks like sticks atm, and as i have never bought a stick before i got the lady there to help me pick a good stick :) The great thing about white mulberrys is that apparently they taste just as good as the red and black but you wont stain your clothes, and hands and face and anything else you come into contact with!

There used to be a mulberry tree near my grandparents house in perth and we loved to go and eat them :) food memories are so amazing! I will post a pic of the mulberry in spring, once it has some leaves haha
