How to make butter

How to Make Homemade Butter in a Mason Jar




Ingrediments:
• 1 pint sized (16 oz) mason jar
• 1 cup heavy cream (38% fat content)
• cold water
• Up to 1/4tsp salt
• Honey (if you want honey-butter) just add to taste

Instructions:
1. Pour heavy cream (higher fat heavy cream 38% or higher works better) into the mason jar, (Milk or powdered evaporated does not turn into butter, but regular old heavy cream from the grocery store will work), filling it half-way full. Screw the lid on.




2. Shake mason jar for approximately 5-7 minutes. After the first 2 minutes you'll have whipped cream. Keep shaking until you hear that a lump has formed inside, and shake an additional 30-60 seconds after that.
3. You can also make this butter in a food processor. You just blend until it forms butter.




4. Remove the solids from the jar. The remaining liquid is buttermilk. You can save that for other recipes, or discard it.
5. Place the solids into a small bowl. Pour cold water over the butter and use your hands to squish it into a ball or put it in a butter mold. Discard water and repeat rinsing 2 times more. (You rinse the butter to remove all the buttermilk. The buttermilk will sour the butter so you want to make sure you rinse it off so it will last longer.)
6. At this point you have butter. You can add in things like salt, honey, and herbs to create flavored butters, or serve in its pure form as is.

Now don't expect this to come out like store bought butter for a gazillion reasons. 1 basic reason is because you're not using preservatives
Here's a picture of what you'll be getting:

Kalua pig or in the Mainland they call it pulled pork

Kalua pig =
How to cook a pig in doors when you don't have the means to dig a hole (imu) in your back yard.

Ingrediments:
pork - whole pork shoulders or if unavailable try find Boston butt, which is half of the shoulder
liquid smoke
Hawaiian sea salt or Pure Himalayan Ancient Pink Sea Salt by La Selva Beach spice Co. (But there are a gazillion brands of Pink Sea Salt. Use any one that is available in your world.)

Here's what you start with if you can't find a pig:


Directions:
1. Score the pork butt on all sides with a diamond cut pattern. ...
2. Rub the pork butt with a generous amount of liquid smoke and then rub in Alaea Salt or (Hawaiian Sea salt)
3. Place the pork butt in a 9X13 pan lined with foil. ... or in the slow cooker.
4. Cook for 8-10 hours or until fully cooked and easily shreds.
5. Then shred the pork using 2 forks until shredded thoroughly (no chunks allowed)

I prefer to use a slow cooker or oven, so for a slow cooker, put on High heat setting to about 10 hours.
Instructions for cook in a oven: - Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Then slow cook up to 8-10hrs. Check from time to time after 8hrs for easy shredding. If the pork does not shred easily, leave it in another hour and recheck.

Best when eaten with Mac salad and a chili pepper on the side! We personally prefer the Mezzetta Brand as shown.
