Re: (...)
I had a cup of heavy cream left from something and I don't want to make anything that calls for a cup of heavy cream right now, so...what to do. I remember my old friend, Chef June Jacobs, talking about making butter out of heavy cream a long time ago.
1 cup heavy cream
2 large garlic cloves
pinch of sea salt
Put the garlic cloves in a food processor and whirl to mince, add the heavy cream and salt and whip like crazy. About 1 1/2 minutes later, I had the most wonderful flavored garlic butter.

I just can't count the dibs and dabs of heavy cream I've thrown away over the years...

Great idea, Jean! If you want a sweet one, add a bit of sugar and cocoa powder to it, it is fabulous on toast. (don't ask how I know!).
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Great idea, Jean! I've thrown away my fair share, also.

It also works with a mixer - especially by overwhipping whipped cream in a stand mixer. LOL!
If blueberry muffins have blueberries in them, what do vegan muffins have?

Lucy and Ethel were definitely going about making butter the wrong way. LOL.

Can you freeze the heavy cream to accumulate enough prior to churning it?
