  • There is no USDA approved recipe for canning butter, but we do it anyway. We discuss why it isn’t approved and why we still choose to can butter regardless. While we don’t feel comfortable doing a tutorial on a recipe that isn’t tested, we have no qualms about sharing our day. Enjoy!
    If you have some tips or a video on how to can butter, please be sure to leave a comment or link below. We encourage community and want to provide access to a variety of information so viewers can make their own informed decisions about the topics we cover.
    We are taking you along on our journey to become more self reliant and self sustainable. Join us as build our skills in the areas of canning, prepping, gardening, woodworking, and learning old time methods of living.
    Thanks for watching!

      BonJovi1065 the context I took her to mean was that with all canning there is a chance if botulism so with this fact she always uses new lids when canning butter and she only buys between 15-181bs of organic butter which her family will use within approximately 5-6 months.

    Butter in and of itself burns at a low temperature but If you cook it a little bit longer the milk solids will separate from the pure butter fat. Skim the milk solids off the top and the remaining is pure clarified butter (ghee) which is marvelous because it has a high smoking temp higher than vegetable cooking oils so you get the benefit of sauteing or frying as with an oil but without the burning and who doesn't love the taste of butter?!

    Why is there so many comments saying you should make Ghee, maybe she didn’t want to. Maybe she just wanted to make canned butter. I’m glad she canned butter personally. I’m going to try that. Thank you for showing how you do it. By the way we keep our butter on the shelf in a butter container at room temperature. We take a stick out of fridge, put in dish until we use it up then replace. Knock on wood it never has made us sick. I’m 53 and it has been done my whole life like that. My grandparents, and my mom and dad did that their whole lives.

    in my country we can have good butter from local farms not companies once a year, we buy a large quantity to cover the whole year and melted and boil it and take out all foam and residue and jar it ( I think it is called clarified butter) it is a lot of work but far better than the brand butter it's smell amazing and have a white color. Thanks for all the video you are sharing with us.

    If you scoop off the whey, and cook the remaining clarified butter for 20-30 minutes, until it is a nice light brown and smells nutty - almost toffee-ish -- then strain it into your jars and seal, you now have ghee. Ghee is likely shelf stable for years (reports vary, for much the same reasons utter is 'unsafe' to can) and has a much higher smoke point than full butter. It is shelf stable after opening for up to 3 months (in your cupboard, it doesn't like light).

    Story of experience. I used to buy "Challenge" brand butter from the grocery store and always had a bowl sitting on the counter. Sometimes it would sit there for a week or more. The wife (now ex) wouldn't eat it and always kept her share in the fridge. 1 day this turned into a matter of who is right and who is wrong. 3 hours on the phone calling "Challenge" and every other agency/company she could think of , the conclusion was,,,,,, real butter does not spoil as long as it is not contaminated. A simple lid on the bowl and it could sit on the counter for months. If you keep it in some sort of cool storage area there is no telling how long it will last. A long time, but the experts would not give a specific time for obvious reasons. Now if you go back and look at butter churns and think about how much butter they would/could make in 1 the thought crossed my mind, how did they keep that much butter fresh for more than a week ? They certainly didn't use 10 pounds of butter a week.
    Ever leave any in the package and store it someplace it wouldn't melt ? Might be an enlightening experiment. Note: my butter was also the salted variety. Salt, the miracle preservative of yesteryear :

    This is brilliant, and if you do this safely with organic, I would take the risk - to be honest, how many people die from eating food at restaurants and places that WE have NO idea if the food was taken care of properly or not, and the workers are minimum wage. If I canned butter, I know it would be safe!! #1) butter is needed for all sorts of cooking and usually is available in bulk so having a way to save without electricity is wonderful #2) if this were common, it is a step into self-sufficiency and global sustainability. #3) only negative, it's not "sanctioned" by the people who "govern" our canning methods.

    Great video as usual. I'd just like to offer up the idea of people READING THRU THE COMMENTS before asking the same question for the 357th time... and if a video, like this one, is for doing A PARTICULAR ITEM (canned butter in this case), don't look for alternatives to THIS video, ask if there is already a video for what you're looking for (ghee). Watch the video, take your notes & then go look for a video for ghee, or whatever you're looking for next! In the case of this particular video, a decent comparison might be... why do you make cornbread? It's just easier to eat corn & a piece of bread.
    Let the newbie canners ask their questions so they get it right & if you think this process is too much work, not necessary, whatever the case... just. scroll. on.
    The reasons we all can foods are pretty obvious. If you don't want to go to the trouble of it... don't. But repetitive comments & questions make it harder for those with questions specific to this product & good practices shouldn't take an hour to find in the comments. Sorry to vent, but we can HELP each other thru videos like this one and 1000's of others if we just stick to the topic at hand. (Just out of curiosity, if you KNOW you're just going to freeze your butter or whatever, why did you watch the video anyway?) 🤔 God bless

    If you make Ghee out of butter, you have shelf stable butter. I make Ghee by placing into a crockpot for 18 hours to cook off all the water in the butter. I skim the skin off and use this for toast anf bread within 2 days. I place the rest into sterilized pint jars while still hot and place sterilized lids on each and tighten rings. Ghee does not seperate. I keep one for daily use and the rest for the shelf.

    I live in the town where they make the Amish Rolled Butter...It's so common to us that it never occurred to me that they would be selling it in health food stores in other places...btw...It IS hormone free...The dairy buys MOST of their milk from small family farmers (often from people who only have 1 or 2 cows). (Actually, I think I read somewhere, that their biggest supplier has 5 cows.) That's part of their reason for being in business, to help farmers who don't produce enough milk to sell to the big dairies...quite frankly, (besides the fact that even the big farms around here frown on using growth hormones), those people simply can't afford to give it to their cows...

    The foam on top of the heated butter is milk solids. Removing the foam will leave you with clarified butter. Clarified butter may not taste exactly the same as raw butter, but it should keep longer.

    • @Back2SquareOne
      @Back2SquareOne 5 лет назад +10

      @@Guildbrookfarm No, Ghee is cooked longer than clarified butter so all the water is removed and the milk solids are slightly toasted. Ghee definitely has a nuttier taste than butter. It goes: Raw Butter -> Clarified Butter -> Ghee -> Brown Butter. Each step resulting from a longer cooking time. The main criteria for Clarified butter is the removal of milk solids. Brown butter is cooked even longer than Ghee so that the milk solids actually caramelize giving it a deep flavor.

    I simmer my butter down and take the fat out (making a ghee) and water bath it. I find it has a longer shelf life and is great for things you don't need the fats in (drizzling over veggies or such). I also do some like you did except I still water bath just because that is what I have always done and it makes me feel better about it. But I know there are lots of people who do it like you and have had no problems. It certainly is faster. :)

    Many vacuum packers have a "canning" attachment. With that, you can vacuum a wide mouth jar lid on and remove a LOT of the atmosphere. For butter and fats, this seems like a really good idea. A fat goes rancid when it reacts with oxygen. Remove the O2 and you should have a better result. I use my vacuum packer with jars for nuts on the boat.

    I'm curious as to what causes the butter to mold after it has been opened if it isn't refrigerated. Butter is shelf stable so long as it is washed properly during the process of making it (storebought or homemade). I'm 3+ generation dairy cow owner/butter maker in my family and we make butter like there is no tomorrow when the cows are in milk. The only time our butter spoils when left out at room temp is when it isn't properly washed to remove the whey and when that happens it isn't molded, it is sour.

      Rhonda, there is probably something different in the processing of butter for masses that may make it different from what you are used to. It’s just my guess. I’m certainly no expert on butter, although I do have an old wooden churn. Does that count? 😂

  • @Smabruk
    @Smabruk 6 лет назад +4

    To get even longer storage time you can remove the proteins from the butter and make it to ghi, butteroil. Its the protein which get bad first. Just let it simmer for about 45 minutes on the lowest temp. Then you have the proteins in the bottom as a light brown mass. Separate it from the butteroil. Its perfect and if you like popcorn you just get the perfect oil for it. No burned butter on the popcorn but the taste and smell of butter. What you lose is the temperature signal of the butter.
