Preserving Butter?-Yes you can, but its done a little different |
| Canning Butter Please set yourself up before you start. Take proper care,This is hot! My mom did this when we were kids. With possible food shortages, its time to bring it back. I do 3 bricks of butter at a time, I like to use wide mouth jars, easier to get at. I do smaller jars for table use, and larger jars for baking. You will need to sterilize your jars and place them on a cookie sheet. Set your oven to 350 for 15-20 min. This will ensure no moisture is left in jar. Place your lids and inserts in boiling water. While jars are being heated, put butter into a clean pot. Bring butter close to boiling, stirring constantly, scoop off foam and set it aside in separate dish. Carefully pour butter into a glass pitcher,one with a spout. Pour into jars leaving a good inch from top, try not to get butter on rim of jar or it wont seal properly. Next, dry inserts and sealer rings thoroughly, place on jar, screw rim lightly. Let sit on towel to cool down it well be sealed when you hear popping sound. |
