    I’m 65, my grandmother passed away many years ago at 96. She would be close to 110 I think. At 11 years old a mere child, she had to leave home to work for her room and board. She did housework, cleaning cooking and baking bread everyday. She was so tiny she had to use a stool to knead the bread. After getting married my grandparents were lucky enough to have a cow. She told me she used to make butter in a glass jar. She explained she merely skimmed the cream and put it in the jar and shook it until it separated from the buttermilk. I’ve done this several times, for my daughter when she was young and now for my granddaughters. It’s a wonderful little experiment for any child to see even this 65 year old child. What a wonderful memory. Who doesn’t love fresh butter. Thanks again for the great video.

      My grandparents used to make butter - but they were a tiny bit more modern - the glass jar had a beater in the lid and when you turned the handle it churned the contents - I have milked cows and a goat by hand - I remember when I was a kid and my uncle would be milking the cow - for mischief he would turn the teat towards you when he saw you coming and you got a face full of warm milk..!
      I had a goat a year ago which I hand milked - the milk was beautiful and I made cheese once a week too - she's gone now I will have to get another...!

      I made my own butter years ago when my children were young and then for some forgotten reason, perhaps because it was more convenient just to but it, I stopped making it. I've wanted to start again but couldn't remember to right way to do it. Thank you so much for this video which helped me remember. I love your videos.

    As a child in America, I helped Grandma make butter in a wooden churn. It was, as I recall, made from the older, non-pastured milk that was close to going sour, but not there yet. We would then beat it with paddles to get the last of the buttermilk out and shape it in moulds. The milk was kept in a spring house at 55 deg.F or slightly above, and no ice, so done in the cool of the morning in warmer months. I remember that as being the most flavorful butter ever. It was probably ever so slightly cultured. One didn't spread a thin film on thin toast, instead one placed a thick slab on a thick hunk of homemade bread.

    It brings back memories, John. When I was a boy, I used to spend my summers with relatives on a farm "out in the country". We were almost 100% self sufficient, growing and producing everything we needed, from chickens to cows, to fields of fruit and veg. Even our water was from a well, none of that stinky city stuff for us. I well remember that one of my jobs was to churn the butter (after I milked the cow and filtered the milk...I didn't get the "fun" jobs, I was too young, my cousins got to do those)...what's the point of having rugrats on a farm if you don't put them to work, right? I would go with my aunt into town on Saturdays, where she'd sell the excess production of beef, milk, eggs, butter, fruit, and veg, and we'd buy the things we didn't produce...Life cereal (hehehe), flour, salt, etc. Sixty years down the road, I can, to this day, still taste our daily breakfast of fresh henhouse eggs, sausage and bacon, toast, cereal, and those magnificent piping hot buttery biscuits. I got to help with those too...and while I watched and helped every single day, even now I can't produce a biscuit to match my aunt's. What I'm thinking is that what that biscuit really needs is fresh, homemade butter! Thanks for this video, mate. I'm doing it tomorrow and will test drive the result on a batch of biscuits!

    I’ve just made my second batch and I can’t believe how easy this was to make. It tastes so much better than shop bought butter. I managed to get over 50g extra than the shop bought, and I sourced the cream for £1.45, making a huge saving! I don’t think I’ll be buying shop bought butter again. I’ve bought your cookery books too. Loads of recipes I’ll be using there. Thank you so much for this video.

    I grew up making butter from our Jearsy milk cow on the farm.
    She lived a happy life being milked by hand every day.
    My dad milked the cow my mom separated the cream and I ran the butter churn and made the one pound blocks with a butter mold.
    My mom wrapped the butter and sold what we didn't eat.
    It was fantastic.
    I tried it with store bought cream and there is no comparison, the cost was the same as buying butter.
    You simply can't make good butter from industrialized dairy products.
    But maybe in the UK it's different.

    I finally found a dairy, as I don't have a dairy cow of my own...yet! However, I can not wait to use this method. I have accidentally made butter a couple of times when I was making whipped cream. Squirrel...haha. But it had sugar and vanilla in it so it was not great. I also didn't know about rinsing it to prolong it's freshness. I can't wait to make it for real and store it like you just did. Thank you John. My son comes home from the USAF in February, and he can't wait to cook with me. Much of it is because he grew up loving my cooking, but I was always a terrible baker and some other things. He now believes I can help him make and learn anything he needs to sustain himself and a family. I can assure you we will watch many of your videos together. I have diaries to tell my children how to cultivate the land, mistakes and successes. I plan to leave written words for my family, until the Lord Jesus returns. Thank you for being such a huge part of my learning in these things. Much love in Christ. - Vicky Ann

    I have made your butter and turned out to be very good. Just to help anybody else who would be using this method of making butter: Change the whisker, after the cream turned into whipping cream to the beater tool. This way the butter sticks to the beater and the buttermilk stays in the bowl. Thus less damage to the whisker and it is easier to separate the butter from the tools. Yes, it does wave money, but for how long. And it is better butter!.

    I am a long time subscriber to your channel and enjoy your video ver much. I live in the US in South Eastern PA. I purchased a quart of heavy whipping cream for $6.49 yesterday. The cream made 14 oz of butter and 1 pint of buttermilk. My current cost of butter at the store is $3.99 a pound. Making my own butter would cost me $7.42 per pound. For whatever reason there is no cost advantage to making my own butter in the area where I live. Just a caution to anyone in the US as this might not save you money.

    A few things for those of us in the USA. A lot of the heavy cream we get has an additive, carrageenan, to thicken it. Also, a lot of the cream we get is "ultra-pasteurized" to give it a longer shelf life. I don't know what the carragreenan will do to the butter, but I do know ultra-pasteurization makes the cream and resulting butter has a scalded or burned taste. Best to seek out a local farm that sells cream for best results.

    Hey! I can now add butter to my list. Thought I'd lost it as I think I was too tentative stopping too many times to wipe down sides of the bowl as it started to scramble but then went smooth again.......but eventually it suddenly came together in the whisk. And it's delicious. Thank you, Mr Kirkwood.

    I made my own butter for about six months last year using organic cream. It ended up costing me $15-$20 per pound of butter so I went back to buying organic butter at Whole Foods. Maybe I calculated wrong. It sure did taste good though and the bonus buttermilk I gave away to a lady who used it frequently.

    I'm starting to make butter! I bought a lil hand crank churn and added yogurt and buttermilk to make a cultured buttermilk. Here, a quart of heavy whipping cream is the same cost as 1 lb of butter, so I'm not sure if it will be less expensive but I def hope it tastes better! I'm on the hunt for raw milk, too! To make home made mozzarella! Home made is always best! Cheers and happy cooking everyone!

    I love making my own butter. the buttermilk freezes very well and is absolutely delicious to drink. 1 litre of 35% cream yields 13-14 oz of butter and 2 cups of buttermilk. The buttermilk and fat when separating can be very messy as it splashes, so I wrapped the top of my mixer with plastic wrap and sealed it to keep the splashing in. I squeezed out all the buttermilk I could and then cleaned it under cold water from my flowing tap kneading it over and over like play dough to get all the buttermilk out and the water in the butter starts to run clear. this way the butter won't turn rancid.

    To save confusion, in north America "buttermilk" refers to a fermented version of John's buttermilk. It's commonly used in making what they call biscuits here (akin to scones in the UK). Unfermented buttermilk is quite pleasant to drink, the fermented is certainly not!

    I've made my own butter like this in the past and always enjoyed it. The price of dairy has gotten so crazy here the last few months. As a bit of a price comparison... Butter here is about $5.50 per 454g (1 lb or 4 sticks) Canadian dollars and whipping cream (heavy cream) is about $6.50 per litre. From my past experience, a litre makes about a pound of butter, so it doesn't really pay here to make butter right now. But I do agree, it tastes much better.
