Instructions
- Place the heavy cream in a food processor or blender. Hit blend and watch your appliance do the work. You will see the mixture changes in both consistency and color over about 2-3 minutes.
- Continue to mix until cream separates into butter and butterfat. Drain off the butterfat and discard or save (it's buttermilk).
- Add 1/2 cup of ice water and continue to blend for 30 seconds. Drain off water. Add additional 1/2 cup of ice water and repeat. Drain. Mix in the salt and just pulse a few times.
- Add any other flavors as well- fresh herbs, citrus zest, dried fruit bits or other spices.
- Refrigerate until ready to use in any recipe that requires butter.
