This was so much fun to make. I used my blender since I don't have a food processor.I can't believe how quick it is to make. I grew up with my Aunt's homemade butter that was not very good LOL This was really nice but next time I will add just a bit of salt.It is sweeter then a store bought butter. I used a piece of cheescloth in my sieve so I could gently use it to "squeeze " the liquid out. It would be a fun thing to do with the kids on a stormy day. I will be making this again when whipped cream goes on sale.
