For best results, use heavy cream that is cold but not straight from the refrigerator. Letting it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes can help the process. If you want to add flavor to your butter, try adding a pinch of sea salt, herbs, or spices after rinsing it. Homemade butter will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
