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.

Kids in this country need to learn from these vids. Awesome video...

You can also make it in a jar by shaking it vigorously for 10 to 20 mins if you don't have a mixer. Added bonus of a work out. 😊

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.

I started making my own butter after seeing your recipe and haven't bought any since. Not only is it cheaper, but the buttermilk is a bonus by product, and the butter is wonderful.... no added water, keeps well in the fridge and even longer in the freezer. Thank you, good sir, for this recipe. I make lots of your recipes now!❤❤

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!

Just joined your patron group and well worth the money. I am 77 and never made butter. What a revelation. It is so easy. Friends could not believe it when I offered one of your home made cheese scones with home made butter. Absolutely delicious Love your cookery books too well presented and so easy to follow thanks

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.

Wow I’m 53 years old and I never knew how to make butter so this is on my list x

[susanmacaluso]

I can't wait to try this recipe for butter!
As a second grader in 1974, my class made butter in a jar. We all took turns shaking it, and to this day I still recall how wonderful it was.

[jeangemmel]

Who would have thought that fresh butter was so simple and easy to make. Thank you John you're a 'myth buster' by telling us all how to make things and much appreciated too xx Jean from Scotland.

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.

[cathietonkin]

Oh my goodness!!! I grew up on a farm and worked from 6 years old making the butter for 11 family members! Sadly my mom would never tell me her recipe, I was just the muscle, hand churned! Thank you Sir for making this video, I’m almost 75 now and the other night I had a dream about making butter….. I’m so saving this video!!!!

[Colei]

You’re amazing for responding to nearly every comment! I’m so glad you genuinely enjoy what you do!

[stephenpark]

Mr John, never knew how Butter was made, would never thought of it, but now will give it ago.

[janisgiddings]

First time I’ve made butter and it definitely won’t be the last.thank you John.

[willlowbridge]

This weekend in a UK supermarket I spotted a large pack of butter costing about 7 quid.
All your recipes are very helpful for everyone at this time. Thank you John.

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

Now that butter is hitting an all time high (£8-£9) for Lurpak. This will come in very handy for those of us who love real butter. Thanks John 😁 Lorna in Northumberland.
