How to make butter in a jar

I just found out how to make this cool, quick butter in a jar recipe. - Nutmeg :D

What you'll need:
1. Jar with lid
2. Heavy cream
3. Strainer
4. Your hands
5. Saran wrap

Directions:
1. Put about 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into a jar. You can add honey, salt or herbs if you like. Put lid on tight.
2. Shake vigorously until solid (sort of). This should take 5-10 minutes.
3. Open the jar and pour into a strainer. This will get rid of all the cream that didn't turn into butter.
4. Place butter onto a square of saran wrap. Shape into a rectangle.
5. Refrigerate overnight.
6. In the morning, your butter should be hard and solid. Enjoy!

Here is a picture of my butter on a cracker. It is yummy! Sorry if it does not look the most appetizing.

Herb Garden Plans

Check out this cool idea I found it in a National Geographic Kids Cook Book! Its a Herb Garden, that you can make from an empty recyclable can, sand paper, scrap construction paper or wrapping paper, glue, stickers, markers, ribbon (etc), potting soil, some herb seeds (your choice of what they are), water, labels, small stones or marbles, and wooden craft sticks.

I like this idea because, you can make this at home and you don't need a lot of an adults help. I also like this idea because you can grow plants from your own herb garden. You can use the herbs from your garden to use in dishes that you make. Another reason I like this idea is because, you can decide on what you want to grow, and it teaches you how to take care of a garden. The experience of taking care of a garden might help you be more responsible.
