Very well done. I've been canning for nearly 40 years, never canned butter, but will be now. I do have one tip for you, since you asked to supply tips. Before putting your lids on, wipe the rim of the jar with either vinegar or lemon/lemon juice, if you got any butter on that rim, the jar won't seal, this should also be done on all canning, especially when fats are involved. I wish you all the luck in the world my friend, prices are rising beyond most peoples reach and prepping up is not to be confused with Armageddon UGH, everyone who's peeked in my lower kitchen thinks I'm a doomsday preper lol, truth is, I'm 100% Italian, we hoard food BAHAHAHA.

I pressure canned 12lbs of butter last night. By the grace of God everything went fine and I tasted it on toast this morning. It was delicious. My son said that was the best mac and cheese he's ever had. With everything that's going on I felt we needed that. That was my first time ever and it was successful.

[@margaretsalinas2082]

Did it taste like butter usually tastes?

[@katskills5560]

When your canner is finished and the pressure comes down let your canner cool for a while. If you have something else you need to do in between go ahead. If you don’t want to wait that long, then just slightly open your canner let it sit for about 10 mins for a while to lessen the chance of quick temperature change to your jars especially if your house is cold or you have your A/C running. This is true for any canning product. It’s also good because if you remove them too early one of your jars can explode on you. I’ve had it happen to me, so be cautious. I’ve been canning for 3 years now.

[@brucenator]

I keep whipped, salted, sweet cream butter in the container with the lid on it out on the counter all the time. Room temperature under heating or air conditioning, summer, winter, it doesn't matter. The label says "keep refrigerated" but it's pasteurized and besides, if I put it in the fridge, it just gets hard, which means it's not very spreadable. I've never gotten sick from it, nor has anyone in my household. As long as it is handled properly, there is no reason to believe that anyone would get sick from it. Use a knife, spread it on the bread or toast, don't get anything else in it, replace the lid, return it to the counter. No big deal. Most foodborne illnesses are caused by mishandling of food. Don't lick the knife and then stick it back into the butter or anything stupid like that. Teach children how to properly handle food. You should be good. 👍

Don't forget to remove your rims. Sometimes rims left on jars can make it seem like they still sealed but it could have come loose and only stayed on because of the rim. By removing the rim you'll know right away on the shelf if the seal has been broken because it will not reseal.

[@thecakeladytm]

@@LarryMarston I think perhaps you're not understanding the purpose of the comment? Yes, we need a proper seal, but we must also be aware that there is such a thing as a false seal, which can create a deadly circumstance in the food that's been canned. If we leave the rims/rings on snugly, the seal can be a false one that releases and re-vacuums tight again simply because the ring holds the lid in place during the off-gassing of the fermentation processes of bacteria. We can not know that it's "properly" sealed when we open it if we've left the ring tightly on the jar. It can very well be, dangerously, falsely sealed.

I have pressure canned butter, but am about to do another batch. This video came up and I couldn't resist watching. I love the way that you focused on some of the aspects that others do not, such as the condition of the rings (that has happened to me, more often with the weaker larger sized rings) and the way that the cover sits - it is easy to get it on a slant. Great to show people the weight jiggling up close too and how often to expect that. Two things that I was dreading when I started canning: as you demonstrate, whether the canner would boil dry and secondly, knowing at what point to start the 10 minute count - that was my worst - as you say, it soon becomes second nature and I agree with you regards the oven dial sweet spot! Great video, really helpful, great advice. Hope you enjoyed the butter!

[@SoilToSoul]

I hate to be the naysayer here, but I would offer my own advice from my own experience with canning butter, which I do. Because it is a 'low acid ' food, it really needs to be pressure canned, for at least the same time you would do meats, 75 minutes for pints, 90 minutes for quarts. This is the best way to protect yourself against botulism spores having a chance to grow. Oven canning period, is not a USDA approved way of sealing things safely. In fact, because they slowed down funding for these types of official tests, most Universities and extension offices never got around to testing anything dairy. So, that is the main reason we are 'told not to'. I realize people have been doing this for a couple hundred years and in other ways before that. (mostly they made cheeses and other shelf stable goods with dairy but I won't digress.) There was also a lot more food borne illness before pressure canners came around. While we have the ability to invest in a pressure canner, I strongly suggest buying one. They are usually $100 or less if you find a decent deal. Mine I got at a local hardware store was actually cheaper than one on Amazon, believe it or not. I know a lot of people who do oven can their dry beans and flour, just so it stays sealed and the insect eggs that are in it cannot continue their life cycle. Yes, nearly all of our food has some insect contamination even if it is processed and considered 'shelf stable'. For those already dry goods, you can probably be just fine oven canning, but I would definitely never do dairy or other low acid foods that way. I hope I explained this well. I just want everyone to be as safe as possible, especially with something so important as the food we eat. This is probably one of my longest comments ever lol. So please excuse me if I see other comments of this nature, I have copied it and will paste it there. I genuinely am not trying to spam!

Do you know why you haven’t found a butter canning video because it doesn’t make sense to you. Number one butter is insanely easy to make as long as you have heavy cream which can be purchased at a store or a local for dairy farm. Second reason people don’t can butter is because he’s not counting butter his mouth and get it and put it in a can and pressure cooking it is just melting butter and put it in a jar what happens when you need that butter softened not melted then your shit out of luck with all those cans of butter. Another reason why You don’t see any butter canning videos because literally no one does it and it doesn’t make sense to cause how often are you using butter that you need to can and preserve it. The purpose of canning and preserving was sold that the food that you grew from spring to fall last through the winter and the rest of the year. It’s the purpose of canning butter can be easily made at any time in a couple of minutes that’s why no one bothers to canned butter it’s absolutely stupid to do so.

Yeah I like that you’re canning butter. But one thing you need to know you can bring butter home from the store and leave it on the counter and six months later it is still good as long as it is not in direct sunlight, like you open the package up and put it on a dish with the sun shining on it it’s not gonna go bad butter if it’s kept in a cool climate 60° or cooler left on the shelf, it can last for five years. If you take your butter put it in a pot and heat it up let the solids separate from the oil pour the oil off and leave the solids that has settled to the bottom out of it it will last in a jar without pressure cooking it 5 to 10 years the solids have the water and the stuff in it that will rot. Most people do not understand butter. I grew up with butter on the table all the time we never refrigerate it or butter when I was growing up. It didn’t go bad, water concepts you’re jumping through a lot of extra hoops that you don’t have to jump through. If you take your butter heat it up and pour the oil off into a jar and water bath it so it pressure seals it ass just sealed up good keep it in a cabinet where it’s not in direct sunlight you can get shoot 15 years out of it. It’s not gonna go bad. You can either buy it in the store like that. They call it Cher. And you don’t have to refrigerate Chee. It will not mold it will not mildew. I hope this information is been helpful to you and I hope it helps you with your food storage long-term food storage do you have a great day. God bless.

You can also easily make ghee at home. Take a pound of butter, or more, and put in an oven safe dish. Put in a 250 degree oven for 1.5 hours. Remove and skim off anything floating on the top. The milk solids will have settled to the bottom of the dish. Carefully transfer the butter oil into a clean jar, leaving the milk solids behind in the dish. Put on a lid after it cools and store in a cool place. One pound of butter makes one pint of ghee. It is shelf stable for over a year. The one advantage of ghee is the smoke point…485 degrees vs. 350 for regular butter so when you cook with it you don’t have to worry about it quickly burning and turning brown. You can use it anywhere you use regular butter. It’s easy to make and so expensive to buy. Appreciate all your tips!!

Awesome. I will do this when the weather cools off. It is still to blame Hot here in GA for me to heat up the house!!!

[@justhappy2be]

Bravo for canning! Does my heart good to see men pick the art of canning & become skilled. You did a great job! Glad you mentioned the difference between water bath & pressure canning!! Only one tip: I always take a bit of paper towel or cloth and put a little vinegar on it to wipe the jar rim down in case any butter/grease/fat/ manages to get on the glass jar rim...actually, no matter what I can I do that. If it is left there, it can break the seal & the food is wasted. Just a bit of vinegar wiped over the glass rim before placing the inner seal will keep that from happening. Again: GREAT JOB!! I learned from you as well! Happy canning! Oops!! Just watched again...I saw you mentioned the vinegar wipedown... sorry

Getting ready to do my first run of water glassing eggs - learned about it on your video recently. Just waiting to get the gamma lids and lime in tomm. Took a while to find a source for the unwashed eggs, but hopefully they'll turn out good! Thanks for the great content and for turning me on to this method! Love eggs and can't imagine not being able to have any if (when) things go south

[@RiversideHomesteadLife]

I hear ya, we eat eggs everyday! glad to hear you found a source and can store them! Thanks for sharing Drive Strength

[@solanisomeni]

We've done the water glass egg method many times. It helps throughout the winter when the hens aren't laying as much. What we've both heard and noticed ourselves is that it's much better if you can get fresh eggs that have been laid by hens that don't have a rooster in the coop. In other words, sterile eggs. That will make sure you don't get any of those little "blood clot" things next to the yolk, which will cause your egg to rot. Longest I've stored waterglassed eggs is actually 11 months. Granted, the yolk didn't want to stay whole when I cracked it but, smelled right, looked right and tasted right when I'd scrambled them. (I had totally forgotten the last gallon jar between our fridge and outer wall. Keep them there because it's dark and actually very cool)

[@AllThingsConsidered333]

I just filled my first jar yesterday! Got 10 dozen eggs from local Amish and 25 were clean enough I felt comfortable using. Found a huge pickle jar on curb so I used that. So excited! I pretty much only eat meat & animal fats so I started canning and dehydrating. Raw eggs in low heat dehydrator right now to make egg powder which I vac seal into jars. Also making super dry meats to vac seal in jars and maybe make up my own ready-meals for go-bags So much less anxiety about state of the world now that I’m getting some very important preps in place (I’m late to the party!)

When it comes to Prepping most Americans don't know anything about Dal. It is a Staple of the Eastern Indians. It is Dry Goods that can be stored just like any other Dry Goods like Beans and Rice. There is a Variety of Dal/Lentils. And very Nutritious and Healthy. And is cheap if you are lucky enough to have a Decent size Eastern Indian store near you that has all Different Dal/Lentils. Example: Split Yellow Peas, less than a Dollar a pound. In your local American store you will pay more than that. Over a Dollar a pound compared to about 75 cents a pound. You just need to know where to shop for certain Dry Goods. If you live in the part of the America where a decent amount of Asians and Hispanics and Eastern Indians live, you can find some good places to shop for less than the American stores. The store has to be big enough to get good prices. Happy Shopping.🤗

[@tammyplourde2859]

Some years ago I used to live near an Indian store. Dal used to be a regular staple for me. Since I moved, I kind of forgot about, but I have to start looking for it again. It's delicious and nutritious! Thanks for the reminder!

[@jhondoe233]

@@tammyplourde2859 Your welcome Tammy. I hope that there is a Eastern Indian store near your area that is a decent size so you can get all the Dal you want for a cheap price. Here in California there are quite a few Eastern Indians here. And there is a decent size store near me to get great prices too. And of course, all of the Spices to cook some great Dal. I have a Hawkins Indian style pressure cooker, but a InstaPot works just as well. I do both depending on how much I want to cook. Good luck finding a good size store for great prices.

Riverside, ideas for your next long term storage/ home canning video. Canning Pinto beans seasoned with Ham bones. You may purchase meaty ham bones from retail baked ham stores such as Honey Baked Ham, Heavenly Hams. My HoneyBaked ham store sells frozen hambones $5.00 after each holiday. Most Preppers may have abundance of dried pinto beans. But what if.... a heat and eat only or a open the jar situation was all that is available. Thank you for your channel, and awesome information.

Once you open the jar of butter you DO NOT have to put in refrigerator We keep our regularly used butter on the counter in butter dish just the same way people have doing for 1000s of years, just use clean utensils when using the butter so it doesn't get contaminated which will cause it to mold. Butter will last out on counter at room temps for ar least two weeks, and even much longer when room temps are cooler.

[@RiversideHomesteadLife]

Thanks for the info mapbike!

[@jeanettejarmon]

The butter will melt faster if you cut it up first. And butter can sit out of the fridge. That keeps it softer and wadi to use. I use a covered butter dish.

[@lauriehuber8065]

Great tutorial. I will be doing some butter, as I’m not lovin’ the strong flavor of ghee. One comment: you mentioned using recycled lids. I believe you were referring to the rings you were holding at the time. But just to be clear, you can not can with previously used lids. Rings yes, lids no.

[@melissaohlrich2418]

Yes you can, as long as you inspect them for damage and seal consistency. Been canning for over 40 years.

[@dawndevereaux1449]

@@melissaohlrich2418 same here. I have reused some lids 5 times already. A friend has some that have been used over a dozen times! You just need to inspect them to make sure there is enough "rubber" seal. The older lids work better for resealing than the new ones. I also reuse lug lids from commercial jars when water bathing wih great success. Also with 50+ years of canning experience.

I can ghee instead of butter. It's more in-depth but worth while. Ever had a ribeye cooked in ghee & rosemary? Only thing that I could see that was a bit off, was the distance your jars were from your pot. Get those things right up next to your pot before you start laddling. 😉 👍🏻
