Making Butter!

A friend lent me her mother's old butter churn. 
I have wanted to churn butter for ages.  Here is the saga:

Step one: pour cream in churn

 

Step 2: Insert paddle

 

Step 3: Screw the lid on and start churning

 

Step 4: Go get the new Harry Potter because this is taking FOREVER!!! 
I ended up with the hardest whipped cream ever. 
I couldn't even turn the paddle anymore. 

 

Step 5: give up and throw it all into the Kitchen Aid:

 

Step 6: Instant butter... figures......  Wash under cool water. 
Real buttermilk is nothing like the store's. 
It is very thin, much better....

 

Step 7: Knead the butter to get all the liquid out.

 

Step 8: Butter!!!!  This was made from 1 quart of cream.

 

Step 9: Let the doggies lick the bowl!!!

 

I have to figure out how much it cost me for that amount of butter. 
Probably not cost efficient, but totally fresh!!!
