I saw that you could buy "farmstand butter" at Whole Foods Market for about $11 per 4 oz container. Yikes! Butter is one of those foods that we think we have to buy. Not true. Making a whipped butter takes a few minutes and only requires basic beaters.
Ingredients
Organic Heavy Cream
Pinch of Salt (optional)
Beat on high as if you are making whipped cream only beat a little longer. This will give you light and fluffy butter in a few minutes. Perfect for toast.....or your mother's banana bread (hint, hint).
Beat until butter and buttermilk separates. Drain the buttermilk and wash the butter in cold water.
Washing the butter can be done by placing the butter in a bowl with cold water and kneading the butter. When the water discolors, pour it out and more cold water. Not washing the butter will result in butter that my go rancid because of the buttermilk. (From Cooking Notes by Micheal Chu)

What a great idea! So do you then go by the expiry date that was on the cream as a guide to when to use it by?
Good question. No Clue! I doubt it will last more than a week in the fridge though, it's so good.
I love that!
Where can I get organic whipping cream that won't cost an arm and a leg?
The organic whipping cream that I buy is about $3 per pint. That makes quite a lot of butter. Its so good.
