All I need is one bite: Butter is easy and makes everything delicious. Here is how to make some of your own.

There’s nothing “butter” than giving a gift for the holidays — a gift from your heart, especially when you learn how simple it is to make butter. It is seriously so easy to make! Hi, I’m Reesha. Long-time listener, first-time butter churner-er.

All it takes is a few simple seasonings and some heavy whipping cream to make your own butter. When I stumbled upon a TikTok video of someone making their own homemade butter, I thought to myself, “You know what? I should try it myself, especially when I looked in the fridge and only saw half a teaspoon of butter left. I discovered you only need two ingredients to make butter yourself in today’s modern age — namely, a container of heavy whipping cream and some salt to your taste.

It only took me about 45 minutes to make, but that was because I had no idea what I was doing. Fair warning: If you give homemade butter as a holiday gift to family and friends, be prepared for them to look at you like you have three eyeballs. At least, this was the look on my child’s face when I told her what I was planning on making in the kitchen.

“You’re gonna give people butter?” she asked me, shaking her head in judgment and walking away. In my defense..

. Butter (along with everything else) is rather expensive at the grocery store, and since I want to cut a few corners, the other day, I had the brilliant idea to make my own butter at home. How hard could it be? I’ll buy some heavy whipping cream at the store, make my own butter .
