Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sage, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Directions

  1. Pour heavy whipping cream into a canning jar. Note: begin with room temperature heavy cream for quickest results.
  2. Tighten lid on canning jar. Begin to shake in a steady back-and-forth manner. Shake for 10-20 minutes.
  3. You can stop shaking when the heavy whipping cream hardens and forms a ball within the canning jar.
  4. Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the buttermilk and butter into the strainer. Gently press on the solids with a wooden spoon to remove any excess buttermilk.
  5. Keeping the butter in the fine mesh strainer, knead it under cold water to work out any buttermilk.
  6. Place the dried ingredients in a bowl. Add the butter ball, and mix thoroughly with a fork.
  7. Scrape together and enjoy your butter smeared over fresh-from-the-oven bread, muffins, or whatever you enjoy with butter!
