The more the cream moves around the sooner you get butter...I'd use a pint jar for one box of cream, for instance...Hubby can make butter in just a few minutes..if I don't watch him. That's how we make whipped cream to use on Strawberry shortcakes...and he makes the whip cream while I prepare the berries and make the stove top shortcakes....It doesn't take all that long..just sit there watching TV and sloshing the cream from one end of the jar to the other....Nothing but a pickle jar to 'churn' in ? Cover the top with plastic before screwing on the lid....I soak pickle jar lids in bleach water to get that smell out....Store jars with crumpled up newspapers in them to remove smells....
