How to Make Sweet Creamy Butter

  1. Pour 1 cup of heavy cream into a clean, sturdy jar. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt (optional).
  2. Secure the jar lid tightly.
  3. Shake vigorously for 2-3 minutes, until the cream thickens into whipped cream.
  4. Continue shaking vigorously. The mixture will thin out again, then you'll hear a distinct churning sound as the butter separates from the buttermilk.
  5. Once the butter has fully separated, stop shaking. Carefully open the jar and pour off the separated buttermilk, reserving it if desired.
  6. Spoon the butter into a bowl. Add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup (or to taste) and gently stir to combine.
  7. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
