Some good news: Canning is a step you can safely omit. Boil it down to the point it is clear and beginning to turn golden, milk solids have gone to the bottom and browned, removed from the fat, so it won’t get rancid. Clarified butter is one step before ghee. Ghee is ONLY the fat, with water and milk removed from the butter. I use a half-gallon spouted glass pitcher, pour the fat from the cook pot through a butter muslin and strainer into the glass pitcher, then pour up into the jars. No skimming of foam is required if it is allowed to cook long enough, which also is what renders it shelf-stable. I enjoy seeing the variety of methods people use and feel safe doing, so I’m not being critical, just offering suggestions to make the project easier and simpler.
Okay, here is the cost of Ghee broken down: I just looked up Ghee at my local Walmart and it was about $12.00 for an eight ounce jar, or half a pint. So, those 12 pints that you canned up wouldve been $144.00 retail!! Not including the foam and the 16 oz jar! That wouldve been $168.00 PLUS the cost of the foam! All of that for the cost of 8 pounds of butter, which again Walmart locally wouldve been $28.00. HUGE SAVINGS doing it yourself AND a five year shelf life. So basically you paid yourself $140.00 ($168. - $28.00) for that canning session, or if it took approximately three hours, you just earned $47.00 an hour!! All of that while babysitting your grandchildren at home. Are you/we in the wrong business lol. God bless you guys. Shirley.

My grandmaw never said goodbye, she said it sounded too final. She always said toot toot. I miss her so much. I remember her laying in the hospital unconscious. I played in her hair and told her if she needed to go be with Jesus to please go and rest. Her heart was tired & I didn’t want to see her suffer any longer. I promised her I’d help take care of Paw paw and I did keep my promise till it was his time to go. She was a hard working woman, always cooking and taking care of someone. I’d like to think she’d be so proud as to how far I’ve come and all her great grands have come. My favorite memory is her dancing a little jig to Alan Jackson’s “ It’s gets hotter than a hoochie
Hello My name Is Darla, I am 60 years old and my frige went out 3 days canning everything in my frezzer. I know we have to save all we can save. I just made some gee too. it was a lot of work, But I saved all that was in my frezzer now it is on my pantry shelf. thank you guys for helping me to save things by canning.
I absolutely LOVE that you call yourselves the "keeper of the old ways". One of these days in the future, all that knowledge of the old was will be very, very handy indeed. I also have a true love of the deep southern way of life. Arkansas, Appalachia, rural MS, the bayous of LA ... Folks make fun, but you know what? If anyone is going to survive a disaster, it's these folks. I have collected many books over the years from these communities, as well as delved into the tenacity of those who thrived during the depression and dust bowl. Recipes, DIY furniture, home building, flock/herd care ... a wealth of information. All of these folks that keep the old ways are very, very wise. Yes, it takes work, but ya'll can survive just about anything. I grew up in a bit of that, and was taught to think, so I can do it. City folks won't survive. They have few skills and fewer brains. That may seem unfair, but without the experience, you honestly have no clue. Thank you for posting!

Ive been making ghee for years. My momma and grandmother both would get together and take the milk solids out of the butter which turns it to ghee. It's good forever if it is done accurately. They have found ghee in the pyramids and Graves, etc. It's still good. 😇🥰
Take a thermometer and wait till it reaches 110 degrees Celsius pass it through a fine cloth and your done, even a child can do it. All that sterilisation is NOT necessary. Good luck, do it already for years and it stays well.
Thank you so much, Ms. Lori. I have been paying astronomical prices for Ghee for the past few years as my daughter has a dairy allergy. I quickly went to the store and bought 10 lbs of butter. I am canning today!!! ❤️😘
Mrs Lori, thank you for all the videos. Making anything shelf stable is great. I live in Fort Myers and with the devastating hurricane Ian coming thru this area, I lost most everything in my freezer. I had canned some things and will be canning more instead of freezing so much. Thank the good Lord we didn’t loose our home like many families in our area have. Thank you and Mr Brown so much for prayers.
Miss Lori, UPDATE on my husband. I spent 1.5 hrs. yesterday w/him. They had taken so many tubes, drainage bulbs & wires out of him Finally his kidneys are much better. But his blood sugar was remaining high, so he was on IV insulin. He was SOooo much better! He was talking, joking... just being "himself". On the hour back up to my house, 2 lights went on my dash and it was a most stressful drive back. Today I had to call early & have his nurse tell him I wasn't visiting, due to the car needing worked on. 🤦🏻♀️😢 A neighbor suggested a mechanic and he was kind enough to knock it out quickly for me. (the 1st cylinder was mis-firing and he fixed it with a new spark plug & coil). So, tomorrow we will go up early and its very possible he will come home with us. Thank you for your prayers. Although I knew the Lord had everything under control, there has been certain stresses (such as my very active 4 yr old great-grandson running through the house, screeching & giggling at the top of his lungs and my little dog feeding off that energy and chasing him, while barking 🤦🏻♀️🤣) Love to you & Danny
@@delawarepearl8489 thank you so much. 🙂👍🏻 We feel his rather quick recovery from a heart attack & a quadruple bypass, is all because of our Lord. May God receive the glory! Have a blessed weekend!
Lord, please continue to help Mrs. Rutter and her husband. Please speak peace and calming over her soul and healing over his body. Let them find Your Joy in the little things. In Jesus I pray. Amen
Prices are going up, pay checks aren’t, and we are retired, my husband has Alzheimer’s so we get money back on an IRA and that amount is coming down. Something seriously needs to be done to stop this mess. And I’m wondering about this abortion mess…if they don’t want a baby, why can’t they say no to sex or take birth control, then abortion wouldn’t be a question! That’s the way I was raised. I’m aggravated at this!! Now, what all can we use Ghee for? This is so pretty!! Thank you so much, Miss Lori!!
So glad you're doing more canning! I have the same concerns as you. I have been preparing for a very long time now. I have just begun to learn to can at 61 years old. Years ago I water bathed a lot of tomatoes but now I'm canning seriously. Like you, I do not want to lose food in my freezer due to loss of power. I have been canning meat and am going to do as much as I can to insure the best possible outcome for my family and I. I have quite a bit of butter in my freezer and may do ghee this weekend. I have many book on canning and have watched many RUclips videos. To watch and learn from you is greatly appreciated. Please keep the focus on our current situation. I think it will be helpful to those who may not have any idea how, or where, to start preparing for the economic uncertainty upon us. Thank you for all you do. I wish you the best.
I remember my grandmother churning milk after my grandfather finished milking cows, but I never heard about ghee until hearing about it on RUclips videos. I’m fascinated watching your patient gentle movements, I’m nervous myself when canning. I skipped it last year since I don’t have a garden. You two are a great inspiration.
I bought a lot of butter a couple years ago before prices went up. When homesteaders were warning of supplies issues years ago. Butter was $1.99 for a pound. Our local Kroger now charges $4.60 a pound. Came in handy. Thank you for your video. I stocked up on ghee, but now will try to make my own. God Bless.
If I could only have been a fly on the wall for just a year I'm flabbergasted at the things that I could learn from you! And I beg to differ you and Mr Brown are as close to perfect as anyone can be. Great video.
Wish I could be a fly on her wall, or my grandparents as the had a full acre of garden even in town. They canned enough for themselves and at least another half for people in need. The middle daughter canned with her and I was there one summer when they worked up 35 bushels of tomatoes as toms, tom juice and tom sauce and paste. That was their first session of canning that year.
We all need to be getting ready with putting up food . We are talking about getting meat rabbits to raise along with our chickens . I’m thankful I was raised like this . We have to pass these things down especially now . We are are in a drought here in West Tennessee too . We’re having to water every couple days too . Prayers for us all , we get some soon 🙏🏼 God Bless you & Mr. Brown🙏🏼
Thank you Ms Lori. I had no idea you could can butter!!! I will be canning some for our family. I love your teaching videos. I love also how you talk about the good Lord and his blessings and your lovely family. God bless you and Mr Brown❤️
Wow! That's a great way to save electricity on butter storage while making room for freezing harvested items until we have time to can them too! Smart! Thank you!
Always wanted to be a home maker but ended up in working in factories my whole life I love the wisdoms of perseverance to keep on living and don’t give up we all have much wisdom to share with each other for survival God bless you and us all love your Wisdom and that you are sharing with everyone 😊food is canned for future especially staple necessities
Miss Lori, you remind me so much of my Aunt June! I love to watch your videos they’re very soothing to me thank you so much and please keep making them
This tutorial was such a pleasant learning experience, thank you so much sweet lady for taking the time out your busy day to teach us something that will benefit us.
Aloha! I was gifted an electric canner (does both pressure and water bath canning). My canning journey finally begins... already took my canned chicken from the freezer and turned it into shelf stable canned chicken. 🤙 Feeling so happy happy happy 😃Going back through your videos to get pantry ideas and inspiration for Grandma and me.
I made ghee for the first time and I followed your recipe and instructions. The first batch turned out exactly like you said, the other 2 batches didn't. I had to cook them a lot longer before they turned to ghee. Because of that they burned a little bit. I learned you don't really have to skim any, it just boiked down eventually. I put up 29 pints. If you don't have to refrigerate ghee after it is open I'm going to love this stuff!
I so enjoy your videos! Love how you always bring the Lord into your conversations! Your mannerisms n voice are so calming! I’m sure I’m probably as old as you or older 😁 but you remind me of my grandma! Loved being in the kitchen with her cooking, canning or stoking up her wood cook stove! She had a gas stove in her kitchen but she would still cook mostly on the wood stove! Enjoy y’all’s days off!
I've wanted to make ghee for a long time, but have always been intimidated by the process. You make this look so easy, I think I can do this. Thanks, Ms Lori!
I do another way. Just put in oven at about 250 degrees and let it melt down and cook. Then lift out, skim, put in jars. I just refrigerate the ghee. You can see, after about one hour and half..peek, if it s ready. Milk solids on bottom. I just use a gravy spoon and no cloth. you can see where the butter is and butter solids on the bottom. I use a 13 by 13 glass baking pan.
Love the Dance ! Makes me chuckle in the midst of all the garbage going on.Hope you always leave it in. Miss Lori,, you are the Bomb.Mr.Brown too. Thx so much for All you do. 🙃
I just have to throw this second comment in here, my mom was your size maybe shorter, had your accent, taught me all I know about in the kitchen (cooking, canning, knife sharpening) she taught me by doing, not by watching, and I seen real quick that most mistakes could be saved and if they couldn't be saved...well...it was a lesson we needed to learn-- so we thanked God for the lesson. Butter wasn't used in my house growing up because mommy was ALLLLWAYS on a diet and margarine entered her life because "apparently" overweight women should eat margarine. Well, Mommy is gone and your humor and love of cooking, love of your husband and family, love of the lord and the be kind to yourself and others...makes me feel like I am learning from my mother through you. Thank you for sharing and letting me learn.
Vinegar is also antibacterial, which will help to further kill any bacteria on the outside of the jar. This entire process reminds me of my childhood, cooking/preserving/learning from my great grandmother and grandmother. Wonderful heart-feels. Thank you.
I hope you have a happy and fun filled vacation because you deserve it! Sure wish I had my canning equipment now but I know the Lord will watch over me. It's just me.
I grew up the same way. We raised our food. I learned a lot by doing it this way. I have not canned Ghee but it is very expensive to buy it. I will try this.
I too have been canning my freezer. I should be finished in the next few days. The only meat I didn't can was the white fish and a few lbs of each different meat. Should the power go out we can jar up the rest in an outdoor set up. Hopefully we are overreacting. Thanks for sharing todays butter canning!
There is nothing like homemade butter. As a little girl my family would get together with some of my aunts and uncles and we would have butchering day. And we butcher beef and hogs and we would make homemade butter. I can still remember the smell of that house and the taste of that homemade butter. There is nothing better than homemade butter.
Thank you Mrs. Lori, I did do regular butter this year. The Gee seems much easier. I had to keep shaking the butter jars until they cooled so the milk solids would stay well mixed. But I’m so happy I did it. At the time I ran into a good deal of $1.69 a lb. in Maryland. So something told me to get it. God is good!
Hi Mrs. Lori, you and your hubby are a great team on YT. It's amazing that you work all day and have time for making videos. Love your homestead and your cabin, your morals, your cooking and mostly, your faith in God! Love your smile and your accent! Keep up the great work! I love watching, can't make it all because of autoimmune and dietary issues that I have but I do can and dehydrate and pressure can our foods. You seem like a beautiful person inside and out! 💕🙏 BC 🇨🇦
Ok have watched any how make ghee vids.. a little nervous .. but I think I'm almost ready .. I finally broke down and did milk ... pleased as punch .. saved us a few times this winter ..too many times snowed ,stormed in. I agree I will pressure can, which is how I do milk .. my kitchen my rules I do my research to mslori
I got a great deal on butter this weekend. My new presto pressure canner came in and I plan on trying to make ghee for the first time. I’m nervous, I don’t wanna ruin this. Say prayers for me please! Thank you 😊
It's interesting that you process your ghee in the canner. I learned some time ago from RoseRed Homestead how to make it and she doesn't process hers, so I don't either. After the butter has boiled down, I just pour it into hot jars and it seals on its own. I've made several batches and so far it has turned out delicious and shelf-stable. Love your videos.
I LOVE having Ghee available to use! I found a MUCH easier way, thanks to Miss Stacy from "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy" Saves all that time standing over the stove. . . Put all that butter into a large baking dish, and put it in the oven at 225 for an hour and a half, and it's done. . You just skim off the top, and ladle the rest into HOT jars, clean the rims, put on lids and rings, and they seal themselves. . Been doing it that way now for 2 yrs, and it's never gone bad. . They don't last on my shelf for more than about 6 mo, but that's fine too. . lol. . . Love your video's Miss Lori! Thank you!
@@cindyebner5556 You are very welcome! Hope that helped a bit :) I don't have time to hang over a stove all day. lol. . I can throw it in the oven for an hour and a half, and come back to it when the timer goes off! lol
Thanks for the tip. I can't watch everyone's video on ghee. I will watch Stacy's video. I made 29 pints of ghee for the first time yesterday. Do you have to refrigerate ghee after you open it?
As I watch your videos, I can tell y'all are kind, compassionate people. Justin and I are enjoying your channel I grew up in Rogersville TN and he grew up in Belfry, Pike county Ky. Both grew up low income, but we were blessed to have good country people like y'all that knew how to cook and make life best it could be. Watching y'all take me back to my on memories of good simpler times of my past. Bless you both.
I’ve found that the foam subsides for the most part, as the liquid in the butter cooks off. Aldi carries a pint jar for $16, I believe 😉 So comforting to know you’re saving money and keeping food on your shelves! Great job!
Beautiful!!! I plan to do some after I finish with my green beans, potatoes and apples I am canning these days!!! Lol God Bless You Both and your Family!!!
I have learned something tonight. I have never even heard of this Ms. Lori, and I thought I was a country girl. I loved the video, and I want to do this. It looked really pretty. Thanks for doing this video. Have a good weekend you and Mr. Brown.
Lord Bless yall Ms Lori and Mr. Briwn. I like to listen yall,if it wasn" t for the Lord which is on our side where would we be. I going to try canning me some butter too. Lord Bless.
I don't have much space and a very drafty home so when I can something that has to be kept hot I too just bring out a jar at a time but then I discovered if you take two at time and you have 2 funnels - you can pour a ladle into one jar then a ladle into the next and the liquid or food keeps that jar very hot as you go.
Hi Ms Lori, here I am catching up on a few of your older videos and loving them. Big reminders of everything that I need to can up when I'm in my own home once more. Keep up the good work. 💖🇦🇺🦘🐨
Pam, at RoseRed Homestead, also let’s her ghee self seal for long term storage. She’s an extremely safe, by the book canner and wouldn’t do it if it weren’t safe.
My understanding about ghee was that it is forever shelf stable like honey. As long as all fat is removed. It gives beyond clarified butter. The fat proteins go to the bottom of the pan and are not included in ghee. Yummy!!
Oh my...yesterday in Texas, Heb brand butter was $4.87 per lb. This morning the same butter was $5.50 per lb. Incredible! BTW, I love the red splash ladle. I use mens large handkerchiefs to strain my bone broth. I haven't had rain at my house since March 1 or 4 months. What did Mr. Brown get...a calf (I hope so), goat, rabbits, ducks, quail? It looks like you have new fencing. Get him to post a video...PRONTO!
Hi Mrs Lori! Gee! You make canning Ghee look so easy! 🙂 I know, goofy pun. (sorry). I've never cooked with ghee but have seen it in stores. Sooo pricey. But it really does look like liquid gold and I had it several times with shell fish. Omgoodness! There's nothing like it! Thank you so much for sharing. I love you all, stay safe and well! God bless you!
I would feel more comfortable with the pressure canner method. My mother used to can milk because we always had to much at times and not any at other times so it would make up the difference.
What you are making is clarified butter; this is different from ghee. To make ghee, you cook it longer, until the milk solids on the bottom turn brown. So ghee has a different flavor than clarified butter , sort of a nutty flavor. Clarified butter originated in France; ghee comes to us from India, where it can hold up under the warmer temperatures. Both are solid at room temperature and shelf stable for several months, or longer in the fridge.
I found using salted butter made a VERY salty ghee. I now only use unsalted butter. Although, salt is a preservative, so who knows which is best. When living in India, all we had was unsalted buffalo ghee.
I know this video was 9 mos ago. I’m planning on making Ghee. Can you please do a video on how to use it after its canned? I’ve been canning hamburger meat, chicken, carrots, tomatoes and anything else I can do. My husband and mother-N-law and Pa-N-law thinks I’m Crazy for trying to do a prepping pantry. My daughter and son both are doing the same thing as I’m doing. Both my kids have worked and bought what they wanted since their first job at age 16. Now my daughter is 31 and son is 27. And my husband and I are Very Proud of both our kids. I feel like when you have God on your side everything seems to work out. God is So Good ❤. Love your videos. I’m from Walhalla, South Carolina.
Hey Miss Lori, what do you use the foam you skimmed off the top for? I can imagine it in creamed potatoes or on my grits but my brain sticks there.I’m sure it’s a good product also. Also, do you discard the solids from the bottom of the pan? May seem like foolish questions but I’ve never made clarified butter but definitely plan on doing it soon. I have a lot of great value butter in my freezer too. I actually like it lots better than the name brand. Like most, I’m learning alot from my favorite RUclips channels. I love our homestead community. I plan to make some more counter/canning quilts soon. Would you like another one? I enjoy making small tokens of appreciation for all your hard work. God bless you both. We also need rain desperately here in AL. Drought and temps around 95-100 for weeks now. The Lord bless and keep our little gardens.
Thank you Miss Lori. One question. Once it’s opened it can stay on the counter?? I canned potato’s today. I’m working on my freezer getting it canned. I was blessed to have a mom and dad that taught me to garden and can. This is on my list for Monday!! I feel so blessed to have found your channel. ❤️ Say Hey to Mr. Brown.
Great video Lori! I had to laugh...you were dipping a corner of your cheesecloth in your already filled jar! Makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who does stuff like that.

Miss Lori, UPDATE on my husband. I spent 1.5 hrs. yesterday w/him. They had taken so many tubes, drainage bulbs & wires out of him Finally his kidneys are much better. But his blood sugar was remaining high, so he was on IV insulin. He was SOooo much better! He was talking, joking... just being "himself". On the hour back up to my house, 2 lights went on my dash and it was a most stressful drive back. Today I had to call early & have his nurse tell him I wasn't visiting, due to the car needing worked on. 🤦🏻♀️😢 A neighbor suggested a mechanic and he was kind enough to knock it out quickly for me. (the 1st cylinder was mis-firing and he fixed it with a new spark plug & coil). So, tomorrow we will go up early and its very possible he will come home with us. Thank you for your prayers. Although I knew the Lord had everything under control, there has been certain stresses (such as my very active 4 yr old great-grandson running through the house, screeching & giggling at the top of his lungs and my little dog feeding off that energy and chasing him, while barking 🤦🏻♀️🤣) Love to you & Danny
🙏❤️🙏 for your husbands healing…
@@delawarepearl8489 thank you so much. 🙂👍🏻 We feel his rather quick recovery from a heart attack & a quadruple bypass, is all because of our Lord. May God receive the glory! Have a blessed weekend!
Lord, please continue to help Mrs. Rutter and her husband. Please speak peace and calming over her soul and healing over his body. Let them find Your Joy in the little things. In Jesus I pray. Amen
Almighty father in heaven. We humbly ask that you watch over this poor man and his wife in there time of need.in jesus name amen
@@greywolfoutdoorshomestead9962 thank you so much 🤗🤗 He's doing better evety day, might come home tomorrow or tuesday. 👍🏻🙂
the foam is great for sautéing veggies
I was just wondering what the foam might be used for. Thanks!
Prices are going up, pay checks aren’t, and we are retired, my husband has Alzheimer’s so we get money back on an IRA and that amount is coming down. Something seriously needs to be done to stop this mess. And I’m wondering about this abortion mess…if they don’t want a baby, why can’t they say no to sex or take birth control, then abortion wouldn’t be a question! That’s the way I was raised. I’m aggravated at this!! Now, what all can we use Ghee for? This is so pretty!! Thank you so much, Miss Lori!!
Anything you use butter for except baking
So glad you're doing more canning!
I have the same concerns as you. I have been preparing for a very long time now.
I have just begun to learn to can at 61 years old. Years ago I water bathed a lot of tomatoes but now I'm canning seriously. Like you, I do not want to lose food in my freezer due to loss of power. I have been canning meat and am going to do as much as I can to insure the best possible outcome for my family and I. I have quite a bit of butter in my freezer and may do ghee this weekend.
I have many book on canning and have watched many RUclips videos. To watch and learn from you is greatly appreciated. Please keep the focus on our current situation. I think it will be helpful to those who may not have any idea how, or where, to start preparing for the economic uncertainty upon us.
Thank you for all you do.
I wish you the best.
I remember my grandmother churning milk after my grandfather finished milking cows, but I never heard about ghee until hearing about it on RUclips videos. I’m fascinated watching your patient gentle movements, I’m nervous myself when canning. I skipped it last year since I don’t have a garden. You two are a great inspiration.
Mrs. Lori,Thank you for continuing to educate us on new and wonderful ways to cook and stay sustainable. Love you 🥰
I bought a lot of butter a couple years ago before prices went up. When homesteaders were warning of supplies issues years ago. Butter was $1.99 for a pound. Our local Kroger now charges $4.60 a pound. Came in handy.
Thank you for your video. I stocked up on ghee, but now will try to make my own. God Bless.
If I could only have been a fly on the wall for just a year I'm flabbergasted at the things that I could learn from you! And I beg to differ you and Mr Brown are as close to perfect as anyone can be. Great video.
Wish I could be a fly on her wall, or my grandparents as the had a full acre of garden even in town. They canned enough for themselves and at least another half for people in need. The middle daughter canned with her and I was there one summer when they worked up 35 bushels of tomatoes as toms, tom juice and tom sauce and paste. That was their first session of canning that year.
I agree such a GODLY PERFECT COUPLE. THANK YOU MRS. LORI & MR BROWN 🙏♥️♥️🙏
I use a crock pot 😊 till all the milk solids are in the bottom
That is an AWESOME idea!! Ty for sharing this idea!!
I love the canning journey. Miss Lori if you say you do it this way feel the saying you can take it to the bank it is as good as gold.
We all need to be getting ready with putting up food .
We are talking about getting meat rabbits to raise along with our chickens .
I’m thankful I was raised like this . We have to pass these things down especially now .
We are are in a drought here in West Tennessee too .
We’re having to water every couple days too .
Prayers for us all , we get some soon 🙏🏼
God Bless you & Mr. Brown🙏🏼
We raised meat rabbits, I actually like them better then chicken
I prefer meat rabbits for meat, Chickens are for eggs.
Thank you Ms Lori. I had no idea you could can butter!!! I will be canning some for our family. I love your teaching videos. I love also how you talk about the good Lord and his blessings and your lovely family. God bless you and Mr Brown❤️
Wow! That's a great way to save electricity on butter storage while making room for freezing harvested items until we have time to can them too! Smart! Thank you!
I love hearing you jabber, as you call it. I think you are such a blessing. Thank you so much for teaching us. Bless you both.
Miss Lori you and Mr Brown are so amazing! GOD used you to bless us all! 🙏 thank you
Thank you!
Jesus is King!
Thy Will be done!
All glory to God!
You are so sweet, I feel blessed to come across this video today heart❤
Coffee filters work well to strain a product. Thank you for sharing Ms Lori have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤
Always wanted to be a home maker but ended up in working in factories my whole life I love the wisdoms of perseverance to keep on living and don’t give up we all have much wisdom to share with each other for survival God bless you and us all love your Wisdom and that you are sharing with everyone 😊food is canned for future especially staple necessities
Miss Lori, you remind me so much of my Aunt June! I love to watch your videos they’re very soothing to me thank you so much and please keep making them
Thank you
Yall are such a blessing! God sent me to your channel! Praying He continues to richly bless you & Mr. Brown ❤️
This tutorial was such a pleasant learning experience, thank you so much sweet lady for taking the time out your busy day to teach us something that will benefit us.
Aloha! I was gifted an electric canner (does both pressure and water bath canning). My canning journey finally begins... already took my canned chicken from the freezer and turned it into shelf stable canned chicken. 🤙 Feeling so happy happy happy 😃Going back through your videos to get pantry ideas and inspiration for Grandma and me.
That’s so exciting!
I made ghee for the first time and I followed your recipe and instructions. The first batch turned out exactly like you said, the other 2 batches didn't. I had to cook them a lot longer before they turned to ghee. Because of that they burned a little bit. I learned you don't really have to skim any, it just boiked down eventually. I put up 29 pints. If you don't have to refrigerate ghee after it is open I'm going to love this stuff!
Now THAT is nothing short of PURDY !!!!!!! Thank you Miss Lori 🍅🍰🧄😋
Ms Lori, Mr Brown, I believe you two are two of the interesting peoples I know. I just love learning stuff from you both. God bless you both always.
Thank You Mrs. Lori for this recipe and all of the others you bless us with!!! Love and prayers always💕
Miss Lori, I'm so glad you showed us how to do this. You always explain things in a way that I get. Thank you so much, I'm doing this, this weekend
I just love you Ms. Lori!!! I feel like I have known you all my life sister !!! So wish I had a neighbor like you !!! God bless you and Mr. Brown !!
I so enjoy your videos! Love how you always bring the Lord into your conversations! Your mannerisms n voice are so calming! I’m sure I’m probably as old as you or older 😁 but you remind me of my grandma! Loved being in the kitchen with her cooking, canning or stoking up her wood cook stove! She had a gas stove in her kitchen but she would still cook mostly on the wood stove! Enjoy y’all’s days off!
I've wanted to make ghee for a long time, but have always been intimidated by the process. You make this look so easy, I think I can do this. Thanks, Ms Lori!
I do another way. Just put in oven at about 250 degrees and let it melt down and cook. Then lift out, skim, put in jars. I just refrigerate the ghee. You can see, after about one hour and half..peek, if it s ready. Milk solids on bottom. I just use a gravy spoon and no cloth. you can see where the butter is and butter solids on the bottom. I use a 13 by 13 glass baking pan.
@@littleme3597 Thanks for the info 👍
Love the Dance ! Makes me chuckle in the midst of all the garbage going on.Hope you always leave it in. Miss Lori,, you are the Bomb.Mr.Brown too. Thx so much for All you do. 🙃
I just have to throw this second comment in here, my mom was your size maybe shorter, had your accent, taught me all I know about in the kitchen (cooking, canning, knife sharpening) she taught me by doing, not by watching, and I seen real quick that most mistakes could be saved and if they couldn't be saved...well...it was a lesson we needed to learn-- so we thanked God for the lesson. Butter wasn't used in my house growing up because mommy was ALLLLWAYS on a diet and margarine entered her life because "apparently" overweight women should eat margarine.
Well, Mommy is gone and your humor and love of cooking, love of your husband and family, love of the lord and the be kind to yourself and others...makes me feel like I am learning from my mother through you. Thank you for sharing and letting me learn.
Thank you for sharing this!!
I remember my great grandmother and grandmother doing this but they passed before I could learn this !!
Vinegar is also antibacterial, which will help to further kill any bacteria on the outside of the jar.
This entire process reminds me of my childhood, cooking/preserving/learning from my great grandmother and grandmother. Wonderful heart-feels. Thank you.
I hope you have a happy and fun filled vacation because you deserve it! Sure wish I had my canning equipment now but I know the Lord will watch over me. It's just me.
I grew up the same way. We raised our food. I learned a lot by doing it this way. I have not canned Ghee but it is very expensive to buy it. I will try this.
I too have been canning my freezer. I should be finished in the next few days. The only meat I didn't can was the white fish and a few lbs of each different meat. Should the power go out we can jar up the rest in an outdoor set up. Hopefully we are overreacting. Thanks for sharing todays butter canning!
There is nothing like homemade butter. As a little girl my family would get together with some of my aunts and uncles and we would have butchering day. And we butcher beef and hogs and we would make homemade butter. I can still remember the smell of that house and the taste of that homemade butter. There is nothing better than homemade butter.
Thank you Mrs. Lori, I did do regular butter this year. The Gee seems much easier. I had to keep shaking the butter jars until they cooled so the milk solids would stay well mixed. But I’m so happy I did it. At the time I ran into a good deal of $1.69 a lb. in Maryland. So something told me to get it. God is good!
where did you find butter that cheap?
you ladies get the prettiest tools in the US. I can never find them in the stores in Alberta. Thanks for the video...great instructions.
Hi Mrs. Lori, you and your hubby are a great team on YT. It's amazing that you work all day and have time for making videos. Love your homestead and your cabin, your morals, your cooking and mostly, your faith in God! Love your smile and your accent! Keep up the great work! I love watching, can't make it all because of autoimmune and dietary issues that I have but I do can and dehydrate and pressure can our foods. You seem like a beautiful person inside and out! 💕🙏 BC 🇨🇦
Thank you
I did not know you could make ghee much less can it. I definite will do this. Thank you Miss Lori for this money saving tip. Wonderful video as usual!
Ok have watched any how make ghee vids.. a little nervous .. but I think I'm almost ready .. I finally broke down and did milk ... pleased as punch .. saved us a few times this winter ..too many times snowed ,stormed in. I agree I will pressure can, which is how I do milk .. my kitchen my rules I do my research to mslori
I got a great deal on butter this weekend. My new presto pressure canner came in and I plan on trying to make ghee for the first time. I’m nervous, I don’t wanna ruin this. Say prayers for me please! Thank you 😊
I just put up 7 pints of ghee. You are right it’s pure liquid goal and beautiful!
It's interesting that you process your ghee in the canner. I learned some time ago from RoseRed Homestead how to make it and she doesn't process hers, so I don't either. After the butter has boiled down, I just pour it into hot jars and it seals on its own. I've made several batches and so far it has turned out delicious and shelf-stable.
Love your videos.
I've heard that it stays shelf stable for 5 years or longer when it's pressure canned.
I LOVE having Ghee available to use! I found a MUCH easier way, thanks to Miss Stacy from "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy" Saves all that time standing over the stove. . . Put all that butter into a large baking dish, and put it in the oven at 225 for an hour and a half, and it's done. . You just skim off the top, and ladle the rest into HOT jars, clean the rims, put on lids and rings, and they seal themselves. . Been doing it that way now for 2 yrs, and it's never gone bad. . They don't last on my shelf for more than about 6 mo, but that's fine too. . lol. . . Love your video's Miss Lori! Thank you!
Thank you, Lisa!
@@cindyebner5556 You are very welcome! Hope that helped a bit :) I don't have time to hang over a stove all day. lol. . I can throw it in the oven for an hour and a half, and come back to it when the timer goes off! lol
@@lisawoods9391 ❤️
Thanks for the tip. I can't watch everyone's video on ghee. I will watch Stacy's video. I made 29 pints of ghee for the first time yesterday. Do you have to refrigerate ghee after you open it?
@@gowest5145 A dark and cool place, and if the top of the bottle is well closed after use, there is no need to put it in the refrigerator
Your the best! We have you share your skills with us!
As I watch your videos, I can tell y'all are kind, compassionate people. Justin and I are enjoying your channel I grew up in Rogersville TN and he grew up in Belfry, Pike county Ky. Both grew up low income, but we were blessed to have good country people like y'all that knew how to cook and make life best it could be. Watching y'all take me back to my on memories of good simpler times of my past. Bless you both.
Thank you
I trust you and Mr Brown. If it works for you it works for me.❤️. Hugs and God's Blessings to you both.
I’ve found that the foam subsides for the most part, as the liquid in the butter cooks off. Aldi carries a pint jar for $16, I believe 😉 So comforting to know you’re saving money and keeping food on your shelves! Great job!
Beautiful!!! I plan to do some after I finish with my green beans, potatoes and apples I am canning these days!!! Lol God Bless You Both and your Family!!!
I have learned something tonight. I have never even heard of this Ms. Lori, and I thought I was a country girl. I loved the video, and I want to do this. It looked really pretty. Thanks for doing this video. Have a good weekend you and Mr. Brown.
Best guilty pleasure...eating warm toasted brown bitts while the liquid is filtering into the jar.
Made 10lbs of ghee a few months back. So easy and last a very long time.
Lord Bless yall Ms Lori and Mr. Briwn. I like to listen yall,if it wasn" t for the Lord which is on our side where would we be. I going to try canning me some butter too. Lord Bless.
I have ghee in my pantry. But taking out about 40 cups of cream from the freezer ( I have a dairy cow) tonight to make ghee tomorrow !!!
You have to make the butter first, right?
@@cynthiafisher9907 yes
I don't have much space and a very drafty home so when I can something that has to be kept hot I too just bring out a jar at a time but then I discovered if you take two at time and you have 2 funnels - you can pour a ladle into one jar then a ladle into the next and the liquid or food keeps that jar very hot as you go.
This does look like an experiment to me, I might wanna try doing it with my older brother.
Hi Ms Lori, here I am catching up on a few of your older videos and loving them. Big reminders of everything that I need to can up when I'm in my own home once more. Keep up the good work. 💖🇦🇺🦘🐨
I've made ghee by just letting the lids seal themselves, never a problem. So I'm really looking forward to your canning process.
I feel saver pressure canning since I will have this product on my shelf for up to 5 years
Pam, at RoseRed Homestead, also let’s her ghee self seal for long term storage. She’s an extremely safe, by the book canner and wouldn’t do it if it weren’t safe.
@@hmmm..2733 Yes, I watch her too. She has some excellent videos as well.
Ya'll must live in Missouri, we used to get Hiland Dairy products. Yum! I think Ash Flat had a plant over there, on the way to Cherokee Village.
My understanding about ghee was that it is forever shelf stable like honey. As long as all fat is removed. It gives beyond clarified butter. The fat proteins go to the bottom of the pan and are not included in ghee. Yummy!!
I think it’s the milk solids that are removed.
It’s when all the water is removed from the fat because ghee is pure fat
Thank you for your time. You are so calming the way you teach. I can't wait to make some ghee too. So glad I have found you all. Blessings from NC
Oh my...yesterday in Texas, Heb brand butter was $4.87 per lb. This morning the same butter was $5.50 per lb. Incredible! BTW, I love the red splash ladle. I use mens large handkerchiefs to strain my bone broth. I haven't had rain at my house since March 1 or 4 months. What did Mr. Brown get...a calf (I hope so), goat, rabbits, ducks, quail? It looks like you have new fencing. Get him to post a video...PRONTO!
I'm thinking hogs
@@LWYOffGridHomestead I bet you are right...how did I forget pigs?
@@LWYOffGridHomestead 8
I am loving that ladle, too!!
That ghee is just beautiful! I have to admire you for all the things you preserve!!
Made your recipe for the tomato casserole yesterday and it was delicious. Thanks 😊
You both are such sweet and beautiful people. I love your videos! God Bless!!!
This looks exciting, I just might give it a try, Thank you for showing us how to do this for our pantry.
My goodness what a blessing you all are! God bless you and your house! 💕
Hi Mrs Lori! Gee! You make canning Ghee look so easy! 🙂 I know, goofy pun. (sorry). I've never cooked with ghee but have seen it in stores. Sooo pricey. But it really does look like liquid gold and I had it several times with shell fish. Omgoodness! There's nothing like it! Thank you so much for sharing. I love you all, stay safe and well! God bless you!
I would feel more comfortable with the pressure canner method. My mother used to can milk because we always had to much at times and not any at other times so it would make up the difference.
Made 29 pints of GHEE for my sister when I visited her in Ohio…great yummy goodness
I’m inspired! I think I’m going to try making some. Thanks, Miss Lori! 🧡🤗
That is so beautiful! Thank you for the prayers for rain. Going on 4 months now... God bless you :)
I’m still obsessed with your apple cake. I’ve served it to quite a few people. They love it and now everyone wants me to make them one! 😳
It is THE best I’ve ever made. My family loves Ms. Lori’s recipe.
What you are making is clarified butter; this is different from ghee. To make ghee, you cook it longer, until the milk solids on the bottom turn brown. So ghee has a different flavor than clarified butter , sort of a nutty flavor. Clarified butter originated in France; ghee comes to us from India, where it can hold up under the warmer temperatures. Both are solid at room temperature and shelf stable for several months, or longer in the fridge.
I found using salted butter made a VERY salty ghee. I now only use unsalted butter. Although, salt is a preservative, so who knows which is best. When living in India, all we had was unsalted buffalo ghee.
I know this video was 9 mos ago. I’m planning on making Ghee. Can you please do a video on how to use it after its canned? I’ve been canning hamburger meat, chicken, carrots, tomatoes and anything else I can do. My husband and mother-N-law and Pa-N-law thinks I’m Crazy for trying to do a prepping pantry. My daughter and son both are doing the same thing as I’m doing. Both my kids have worked and bought what they wanted since their first job at age 16. Now my daughter is 31 and son is 27. And my husband and I are Very Proud of both our kids. I feel like when you have God on your side everything seems to work out. God is So Good ❤. Love your videos. I’m from Walhalla, South Carolina.
Hey Miss Lori, what do you use the foam you skimmed off the top for? I can imagine it in creamed potatoes or on my grits but my brain sticks there.I’m sure it’s a good product also. Also, do you discard the solids from the bottom of the pan? May seem like foolish questions but I’ve never made clarified butter but definitely plan on doing it soon. I have a lot of great value butter in my freezer too. I actually like it lots better than the name brand. Like most, I’m learning alot from my favorite RUclips channels. I love our homestead community. I plan to make some more counter/canning quilts soon. Would you like another one? I enjoy making small tokens of appreciation for all your hard work. God bless you both. We also need rain desperately here in AL. Drought and temps around 95-100 for weeks now. The Lord bless and keep our little gardens.
I had the same question about the skimmed off material and the solids left in the pot.
Yes, the foam is so good , use just like you do butter, the solids are usually stuck to my pot, I disguard them
@@WhippoorwillHoller thank you for responding. I plan to try this soon.
I add my salty milk solids to my pasta add a little pepper and good to go. The other thing I do is make popcorn with it.
@@patholland1025 yum. Sounds delicious.
I’m watching this again and made notes this time.
Thank you Miss Lori. One question. Once it’s opened it can stay on the counter?? I canned potato’s today. I’m working on my freezer getting it canned. I was blessed to have a mom and dad that taught me to garden and can. This is on my list for Monday!! I feel so blessed to have found your channel. ❤️ Say Hey to Mr. Brown.
Also do you keep the foam in the fridge?
it can be kept on the counter, and the foam too
@@WhippoorwillHoller 😊
Best I've seen all day. Somehow, I got the bug today and have been watching all day on this subject. Yours is fantastic!!!!!!!!
Great video Lori! I had to laugh...you were dipping a corner of your cheesecloth in your already filled jar! Makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who does stuff like that.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It kinda stressed me out lol.
yes, it didnt hurt anything, i was straining it through the same cloth, dont see alot of things till you see it on video
We love you and Mr. Brown too!!! God Bless!!!!
Love Ghee!
But I really have a fear of canning.
I make it, but don't can it. I just jar it up and put it on the shelf.
