Directions
In a medium or large mason jar, pour in heavy cream half-way full. Screw lid on tightly to avoid leakage.
Work out time! Shake the mason jar for about 7-8 minutes, you’ll notice whip cream forming. Keep shaking until you hear a lump that has formed inside, 3-5 minutes. All fat solids have separated from the liquids (buttermilk).
Remove buttermilk. Add salt, as desired. Store in refrigerator.
If you prefer to use a mixer, pour cream into a medium mixing bowl. Beat cream on low, you can gradually increase the speed after it begins thickening.
After several minutes, whip cream will form. Contine mixing; whip cream will begin to turn yellow, fat solids will begin separating from liquid. Follow step three.
