Olive oil rosemary butter experiment.

[Worth1]

Here I am trying an olive oil homemade butter experiment.
Ingredients.

1/2 gallon of heavy cream.
Extra Virgin olive oil about 1/4 cup.
A goodly bunch of fresh from the plant rosemary.
Black pepper to taste.
Salt to taste or none.
One KitchenAid mixer or the likes with the mixing paddle on about 3 or 4.
You will have to go up and down with the speed as you go along.

Strip rosemary leaves into oil along with the black pepper.
Slowly heat oil until leaves just start to bubble take off heat and let cool.
Do not add the salt.

While this is going on start making your butter in the mixer, it will take a while because first you will have whipped cream.
Once the butter is stating to form and water is coming out you will need to slow it down or you will have a mess.
You will now need to go to the kneading hook to finish and do it for some time to get as much of the buttermilk out as you can.
Once this is done pour the buttermilk into a quart jar.
You will have about or a little over a quart.
Now strain the olive oil and put salt into the butter.
Put kneading hook back on and mix a bit.
Take it off and put the cookie dough paddle back on and mix and mix some more.
You will have a nice spread and it will make about a quart and 1/4 to 1/2 cups of butter spread.
DO NOT put the salt in before you have made the butter.
All it will do is wash out with the butter milk and make it salty.
Salt will not mix with oil so it has to be folded in the butter.

I started this thread having no idea what it was going to taste like.
I have to say it is one of the best tasting homemade butters I have ever made.
It is also the first time I have ever tried to make a butter spread.
The experiment was a great success.
The flavor is to die for.

I was going to post a bunch of pictures but decided to just post one or two pictuers of the product.
There are plenty of videos and such on the web showing how to make butter.
