RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1

YOUR CHILD

Pour cream into the jam jar so that it is about a quarter full.

Don't fill up any more because the cream needs lots of room to move around in the jar

STEP 2

YOUR CHILD

Put the lid securely on the jar (adult to check) and then shake vigorously for 15 minutes or so until butter forms in the jar.

Shake it up and down so that the cream hits the top and bottom of the jar. Don't stop!

STEP 3

YOUR CHILD

The butter has formed. Discard the buttermilk around it and pour cold water into the jar. Shake lightly for 5 seconds then throw the water away. Repeat until the water is clear and you have removed all the buttermilk from the outside of the butter.

STEP 4

YOUR CHILD

Now squeeze any remaining butter milk from the butter. This is important because buttermilk quickly goes sour. Squeeze the butter with your hand or the back of a spoon. Throw away the squeezed out butter milk.

STEP 5

YOUR CHILD

The butter will be slightly warm from being squeezed so put it in the fridge for 10 minutes.

It's now ready to use, perhaps in a jam sandwich.
