Instructions
Put the heavy cream into a blender. You can use a butter churn if you have one.
Turn the blender on medium high and blend the heavy cream for about 5 minutes. If the blender seems to be bogging down, add a small amount of goat milk to make the contents less dense.
Once the heavy cream has turned into butter, carefully pour the buttermilk into a container and put it back in the refrigerator. You can use it in recipes or simply drink it.
Scoop the butter out and put it in bowl with cold water.
Wash the butter by using a spoon to press it in the water to expose all areas of the butter. This washes the excess buttermilk out so the butter does not spoil.
Repeat the washing process several times until the water runs clear.
Once you are sure the butter is clean, squeeze as much excess water out as possible using a spoon.
