Jerseys are famous for giving loads of cream. Tried an actual butter churn but it was too much work. Best method was an empty mayonnaise jar filled with that fantastic jersey cream. It was fast and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks for bringing back those great memories! When we lived in Washington state we had a wonderful Jersey cow.

Much, much cheaper than cream!!! I do it at room temperature. I seem to spend half my life shaking a plastic bottle full of it for kids demonstrations on the farm, but also do it at home... I know lots of people on the farm will do it with an electric whisk, but I normally do it by hand (hard work!) but will chill out with it in front of the tv! Definitely worthwhile if you have the time for dinner parties etc and I do it as we don't eat much with butter, so when we do it's nice to have real fresh stuff :) x x x Don’t know if it’s been mentioned… but I make my butter from high fat milk, from breeds such as Jersey.

Used a cheesecloth and 1/4 tsp of popcorn salt. This is really fine! And it's not that messy. Pancakes for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks for the how-to Aleta.

Or rather since they where usually cold we really only got "speckles" of butter, same idea though!
