Home Made Butter

I love butter.  I was watching a TV show online (I don't have TV), and decided to make some butter to still feel productive.  I only had a little cream in the fridge, but it's as just as well, it took me about 30 minutes for this small amount.


That's the buttermilk left behind in the jar.  I do have a butter stamp I picked up at La Maison du Beurre in St. Malo (that's in the small photo on the left of my blog), but no form/ mould, and this butter is too soft right now.  I'll form it into a medallion shape and then use the stamp when it's cooled in the fridge.
If I had more butter, I would've rinsed it in cold water, that helps to wash out the buttermilk, and the butter becomes firmer, removing the drops of buttermilk also helps the butter to stay fresh longer.
It's so sweetly and mildly yummy.
