Can you make butter in a jar?
- heavy cream
- a jar with a lid
- Check with a grown-up before you begin.
- Nicholas of Michigan sent us directions for how to turn cream into two parts, a solid, butter, and a liquid, buttermilk.
- All you do is put some heavy cream into a jar with a lid.
- Screw the lid on tight and begin to shake it.
- The cream has little globs of fat and protein. When you shake the jar, you get the fat and the protein that are moving around in the cream to stick together.
- Keep shaking the cream back and forth until it thickens. In about 10 minutes, it will turn to butter.
- When you shake the jar, the little fat and protein globs in the cream hit each other and stick together, forming a larger and larger glob.
- The glob is butter! The liquid that's leftover is buttermilk.
So, you know that cream can be separated into two parts, but can you put them back together? Experiment with this and send your discoveries to ZOOM!

I loved it and it was fun. The shaking took a little extra time, but it was awesome. I didn't really think it would work.

Our milk came from grass-fed cows at the farm. We skimmed the cream off the top and then shook it and rolled it in a jar for less than ten minutes. Before it turned globby, we added a little sea salt. We've decided to do this every Friday (milk pick-up day) and each week add a different ingredient (honey, herbs, etc...). Thanks for the idea!

well, I used other ingredients. I just use a clean glass bottle, 200 grams of heavy whipped cream and a little salt. I shaked the cream and a little bit of salt in the bottle for quite some time and it got thicker... it then seperate into two components-a clearer liquid and a yellowish solid. I pour off the buttermilk and tada! I got butter!!!
