First, you'll see the cream becoming thicker and denser. You may also notice the jar feeling a little heavier as you shake it. Once the cream no longer sticks to the sides of the jar, you can stop shaking and check your butter. If you see a chunk of butter, you are ready to move onto the next phase. image via makeandtakes If not, cover the jar again and continue shaking. Once you’ve shaken the jar for another couple of minutes, you'll have a bright yellow solid and a pale white liquid. The liquid is your buttermilk that is ready to be used for cooking. So, carefully separate the liquid from your butter and pour into another jar.   Step 3: Wash The Butter image via alldayidreamaboutfood Pour some cold water into the jar and gently spin it around to “wash” the butter. Separate the water and repeat this process. The goal of washing it is to remove any buttermilk trapped in your butter to prevent spoilage. Now you have some butter ready to eat.  Enjoy it with your favorite bread or whatever else you choose. If you want to store the butter, transfer it to another jar and press it down using the back of the spoon. Pour out any liquid that comes from pressing it down.   Want to see how to do it?
