Clarifying Butter

Yesterday the store had fresh Butter on sale so I thought why not can some butter.
The first step is to take the butter out and put it into a pan to melt down slowly make sure you stir so it doesn't scorch on the bottom of the pan.
when the Milk products surface you simply scim the foam off of the top.do this till you can see the butter below. The milk solids can be saved and used on toast etc afterwards just cool and use like normal.
Once you have skimmed the solids off of the top. turn off the stove and let cool. the additional solids will settle  at the bottom of the pan. then gently pour the clarified butter into another pan.
From here you simple pour into the jars you plan on canning wipe the top of the rim and place in a pressure canner.
Can at ten pounds of pressure for sixty minutes.
This product is normally sold as Ghee but can be canned much cheaper when butter is on sale.
Happy canning. great for your food storage and great to eat..
