Directions:
Allow cream to come to room temperature.
Pour into a jar that is at least twice the capacity of the cream and has a tight fitting lid.
Shake the cream vigorously, butter will happen in 20 to 30 minutes.
Once the butter has separated into a solid mass give a few more shakes.

Pour buttermilk into a separate container and reserve if desired.
Continue to shake butter and pour off any buttermilk, a couple more times.
Add just enough water to cover the solid butter and and shake.
Discard liquid down the drain.
Do this 3 to 4 more times until the liquid from the jar is clear.
