Food Storage Canning Butter

Preppers this is more like ghee and last much longer than other home canned butters. Never can salted butter you will end up with grainy butter. Choose the sweet or unsalted butter to can. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

You don't have to put it in the fridge and it last for years so in case life take you down a path you weren't expecting food won't be something you have to worry about. Prepare for all of life's little storms. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

I hope you love it as much as I do and glad to save you some money. Blessings!

[@lauracarpenter5283]

you are the best! as soon as I am able I am going to do this!

[@peggyr3862]

I think it would be easier to strain the butter and any milk solids would be kept out and you don't have to waste time skimming off the foam. Some recipes in India call for 100 year old Ghee and I bet they didn't sterilize the containers, you think? So it is shelf stable indefinitely after hearing that. Thanks a lot, hope you don't have a burn scar. God bless. Appreciate your videos. On a personal note, I would tie back your hair, it's just my thought.

[@BexarPrepper]

I have a battle every week on whom to listen to everyone is on Wednesday nights. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

@kerry7703 sure why not already flavored butter. Blessings!

[@dennispetersen2558]

After watching your video I still left with the question why do it?? why canning butter??

[@amandabrewood4587]

Dennis Petersen it's similar to buying oil at the store or shortening. if you an find it on sale you can save a lot of money this way. or just for SHTF situations.

[@christinekocher2585]

Whenever someone asks, "Why can xyz?" They are presuming that xyz will always be available. And one can just run to the grocery store and pick up xyz. This is not always the case. I hope you never find yourself in a situation where this will happen, but I've been in them 3 times in my lifetime, so I don't take anything for granted. The first time was Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Our electricity went out for a week. If you still have butter in those paper wrappers you will find a mess in the refrigerator.

[@surfearth1]

Why do you have to wait until it’s clear? Why not just boil?

[@BexarPrepper]

What if you loose power for an extended time. Canned butter can sit on your shelf for years. Purchase on sale and can. Blessings!

[@RepublicTX]

Yes! Ghee (clarified butter as shown here) is commonly used in Indian and Middle-eastern cooking and makes fabulous pastry. Use just as you would fresh butter. Think of the process like rendering animal fat into lard. All the impurities (things that would immediately spoil unless chilled or frozen) are boiled out of the final product, making it shelf-stable. That's why you see lard in the stores with the dry pantry items. Same goes for ghee.

[@railrubyroad]

That's a great way to make ghee last for years, I'm going to try this out soon. I do have to say that the residue that was left is something that Indian's call 'khoya', if you don't want to throw it, whisk it with some sugar or jaggery and it becomes a delicious sweet treat.

[@BexarPrepper]

I store mine for 5 Years. In optimal storage should last 10. Blessings!

[@robinconkel-hannan6629]

Those milk solids are not nasty.. They make great flavoring for veggies and sauces, especially if they are browned.. Like you said, they are a natural part of butter and good for you.. Of course they are also good for dogs and cats, too..

[@ctn14250]

Just for poops 'n giggles....I use vinegar, dipping my rag or towel in it (water/vinegar mix) then, wipe the mouth of my jars. It not only acts as a sterilizer, but cuts through any grease , so much easier without worry. "Blessings" !/! PS: I likes they way ya can...others are good. But you are more articulate.

[@vond7495]

Why won't people bring our jars back. :(

[@BexarPrepper]

You need to do what I do. I tell them I would love for you to try such n such but I needs my jars back first lol. Blessings

[@vond7495]

I have one guy saying he's going to go buy him a case of jars....lol....I've not seen them yet. :)

[@kamiko70]

a friend of mine took me and a friend Blackberry picking when i was 14, we had an amazing time that summer. she told me to ask my mother for jars, and knowing we had a baby in the house, she said baby jars were just fine! so i left the jars with her, and the next day she called me over to collect my goodies! she gave us jars of Blackberry jam, and Blackberry mini pies! Noms! we had a blast devouring our homemade goodies we helped pick the fruit for, and she never lost a single jar!

[@NolaGB]

Unless it's a gift, I make folks "promise" to return my jars and that I'd clean them. Only a couple didn't return my jars and those few didn't get any more. LOL

[@Pluscelamemechose]

I just bought 2 cases of jars, and a canning accessory kit. I have a foodi, and plan to do this on low.

[@nancycoy9510]

I never saw someone can butter very interesting! You are a good teacher!

[@Xtrocki]

I love ghee, and I make it all the time. I didn't know you could can it. This is awesome! Because, as you pointed out, the price of butter just keeps going up and up. One of the great things about ghee is it has a higher smoke-point than butter. So, you can fry with it and such. Nice, nice! As always, thanks for sharing such valuable information!

[@Travisfromoregon]

Half way though I was waiting for when the marijuana got put in. lol

[@Achdus5772]

I cover my hair in the kitchen. I bake and cook for other people and it's too embarrassing to think about to have a hair show up in the food. It happens - hair falls out all the time..

[@BexarPrepper]

That's where I learned to make it when I lived in Greece. Just love that butter. Blessings!

[@XanimesecretsX]

fyi clarified butter (or ghee) does not remove any fat at all. What you are doing is removing the milk solids and water from butter. what you are left with is 100% pure fat,

[@BexarPrepper]

It's ghee but taste like butter :) Blessings!

[@LisasBlessedLife]

I am working on a second session now! What I made last time lasted me a month. This time I am canning more! I love this much better than just butter and so does my hubby! Thanks for sharing.

[@JannaLRodriguez]

I bet your kitchen smelled like heaven on butter day!

[@robinc8903]

Butter burns are just as bad or severe as oil burns..I work as a nurse in a hospital and Ive seen some pretty bad ones so when your canning butter be extremely careful.

[@PetPrepper]

Awesome. Was worried about the beads in the butter I canned a couple months ago. I'm gonna have to try this method. Thanks

[@barbaranelson5177]

OMG I just canned this today I only did 4lbs of butter because well it is my first time canning butter it turned out wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and I found the butter for 1.79 a pound I have canned all my life but never butter I am taking this to our camper because you cannot depend on the electric there

[@BexarPrepper]

Sweet great job! Blessings

[@barbaranelson5177]

Thank you for all you cannig Ideals I use them a lot

[@BexarPrepper]

Ghee is butter without the milk solids and water (clarified butter). Blessings!

[@TheSilverCrownNaturalGreyHair]

That’s ghee though since you left the solids out though right? I did it with and without the solids. Two totally different products as far as I can tell. 😳

[@samgarofalo5788]

I am doing a low-carb lifestyle & I use ghee almost exclusively. Thanks for the video. I'll be buying butter to make ghee & can it! Ghee is like $10 per litle pint at the store.

[@BexarPrepper]

As long as the seals remain intact. I rotate every 5 year's. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

I agree butter is good. Just remember salt free or you'll hate the hard grains of salt. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

It's actually ghee and no longer butter but taste wonderfully. Blessings!

[@cathyanderson8197]

butter is good for your skin, i always use it on my hands when i'm cooking with it.

[@sallywasagoodolgal]

I brown the butter like this all the time (on purpose) to put over cooked rotini, with some grated cheese. Asiago is my favorite. Fast, filling, cheap, and yummy.

[@BexarPrepper]

It will store longer in the house then in my shed the cooler the storage location the longer the shelf life. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

As bea said no question is ever silly. The biggest advantage is long term storage on the shelf. No refrigeration required until after it's opened. Also purchase when it goes on sale in quantity then 3 years from now so your eating today at previously low prices. Blessings!

[@FawnThurston]

Hi BexarPrepper. Just a little note for HOT and burns. If you put ammonia on any burn it will stop it from burning immediately. I have tried this numerous times considering I have a wood stove that I cook on all the time.

[@abuelita23xxx]

When you get down to the point were you touched the side of the pot, could you pour the ghee from the large pot, through a sieve with cheesecloth, into another, smaller vessel and be free of the milk solids? Great videos btw. Love all of your stuff. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@jimmyjones982]

Watching your video's it's obvious you know EXACTLY what you're doing. Thanks so much for sharing your vast knowledge on canning? One question I do have is, until your butter and cheese has been opened do you leave your dairy products canned un-refrigerated? Not asking you for a recommendation, just simply asking what you do, as I understand the objections of the FDA. Thanks again for helping us novices understand the food preservation techniques of our forebearers. God bless.

[@normamead4511]

Thank you 😊 I don't even remember how many videos I washed until I found one that made sense to me most wanted me to used a pressure

[@BirdOfParadise777]

"Well! I never!" O.o As my Auntie used to say:) I have watched so many YT vids it's absurd! Thought it was getting kinda boring, seeing the same stuff "redone" over and over... yeah;) Clicked on this vid out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised:) Canning butter is something that I would never have guessed I'd see... been storing it in the freezer and wondering how to use it all up if the electric goes out! lol I stopped stocking it. More room for bacon:D Will "can" butter now! Thank you:)

[@donnarichey144]

Do you not seal by baking in the oven? You were just sanitizing your jars? So this is ghee, I thought you had to put it through cheesecloth? Thank you so much. I enjoyed the video.

[@cindykeele377]

Hi... enjoyed the video. So what you have here is clarified butter... am I right? I love this. I am sort of new to canning and am working diligently to get my pantry in good order. I do tons of baking and doing the butter like this I think would be an excellent idea. Thank you for the video... it has been so very helpful!

[@BexarPrepper]

Yes it's clarified butter or some call it ghee. Blessings

[@bezalelex31]

It's called ghee

[@bezalelex31]

Melt left over float and pour into cube trays then freeze. Then into freezer bags. Use as needed. 😉

[@kellinobelly1230]

William Galindo I love that idea!

[@stargazer6130]

I like your videos. I'm a little late to the party hope your still making vids. Subbing

[@bapekar02]

@BexarPrepper Thank you so much for the fast reply. I'm glad I only canned 5 jars the other way. I will be doing my butter YOUR way next. Thanks again!

[@silverwolfcreek]

Well actually did this and only problem was poor planning on my part - didn't have enough jars set up lol. I didn't think I could get so many jars with just 6 1/2 pounds of butter. I have another lesson learned : ) but it was really fun and pretty darn easy thanks to your video.

[@silverwolfcreek]

Love your videos and down to earth teaching. My husband is from Texas and I was a GA girl transplanted to Texas. You are such a blessing to many of us who are learning to be able to weather whatever comes along. Again thanks so much for doing the videos. Love and Blessings to you BexarPrepper!

[@carlathornton5751]

I did butter and it turned out pretty well but it taste more like cream and not so much like butter. It would probably work I a pinch or after SHTF and everyone forgets the taste of real butter. haha I think I'll try making butter from freeze dried cream.

[@Damali0812]

Ok so i was skeptical when i clicked this video. But after watching it all im convinced! I will have to do this on a cold day when they kids are at school so i have no distractions ^_^

[@billnott5811]

Has anyone verified the indefinite shelflife claims of ghee ? As in , they made some years ago , and then years later it's still good to go ? I'm looking to make and can several hundred pounds if I am convinced it truly is in definite shelf life , Thanks so very much for any help ! =)

[@tonyamosig5775]

Watch videos on heritage European butters. That will help you

[@misstresst]

you need some ove gloves! those work great

[@moncher2797]

I think it’s all good butter. You know, milk fats and all. Why do you call this canning? Canning is when you process it in a H2O bath or pressure cook it. You should call it "Making ghee & storing in jars". Hey, I just thought of something, if you have a jar that doesn’t seal, you could vacuum pack after the ghee is solid. I do have a question, if you put your jar in the fridge for a day, is the ghee soft or hard when it’s cold?

[@kathleenschell453]

It's not impurities, it's milk solids that need to be separated out.

[@mgrg40]

I have to say thank you for posting this! Great info. Also, your accent makes me homesick. :-) Just subscribed to your channel! Blessings to you.

[@sylvialmartel]

I think I would use an old coffee pot to pour with to prevent all the drips as well as a funnel so add the butter to the coffee pot, and a funnel on my jars, but then that is me, each to his own...love this video thank you so much and Blessings to you and yours ♥

[@dalepres1]

Not Ghee unless you take the foam (milk solids) out. You put it back in.

[@loves2spin2]

This is brilliant! I've run into lots of online chatter, worrying about botulism in home canned butter... well, since you don't process it, it is not anaerobic and so the botulism couldn't grow anyway. Ghee keeps well at room temperature. Thank you! Thank you!!

[@dorothyking387]

How long does canned butter keep unopened?

[@BexarPrepper]

no video because I dont can hotdogs. I believe petprepper does or ironhead411. blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Just finish processing and see if it lightens up as it cools. Then taste will be the final answer. Blessings!

[@bapekar02]

This is amazing! I canned butter from a recipe I found on Pinterest and it is separated in the jar and also very stiff, not creaming like yours. Do you have any idea why? The directions were just sticks of real butter placed in the jars and heated in the oven. There wasn't any cooking involved. I'm just wondering if my butter is safe to eat (the lids did pop) because of the separation? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Keep em coming girl! :o)

[@ShannonFord1977]

I just discovered your channel... Thanks for your tips... I have subscribed!!!

[@kajwojones]

Your so cool...new fan here❤

[@bethannmundt7907]

As always, thank you for another educational video. I have been following you for years now and after watching this one I am thinking I need to send you some ov-gloves to protect your hands. That hurt me just watching :)

[@brusso456]

to remove impurities like pesticides, salt, etc.. from butter. just put butter into hot water until it melts, stir it with the water, let cool, put in fridge, butter will separate from water, all the impurities will be in the water. keep butter throw out water.

That's awesome advicevibplan on using your method thanks for sharing

[@gallowayprepper]

Woman you are the bomb. We enjoy your videos.

[@MsZoohaus]

I am going to have to try that. The finished product sure is beautiful. Thank you for sharing how to do this.

[@runsontrails1]

I make caramels and I just started canning. I may try this but one item I received as a Christmas present is the OV GLOVE! I have three now and use for canning. Steam resistant ones too. Saves your burns.

[@BexarPrepper]

@loganv0410 You are correct I have never had any issue with my butter going bad even stored out in a shed and it taste just like the butter straight from your fridge. Blessings!

[@ralphcoley1416]

Thank You I was wondering how to do butter because that is something you will always use along with milk.

[@BexarPrepper]

@gingergargoyle aren't you glad we learned that butter is the worst think you can put on a burn it just keeps on burning. water also hurts a whole lot less. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

@lrdismysheprd49 so sorry you didn't have success there is no need to pressure can because you've taken everything out that can cause spoilage . Blessings!

[@Wyldyflower]

...i didn't even know people canned butter. How cool!

[@BexarPrepper]

I don't see that homemade butter would be any different. It might boil out quicker since store butter add mater to increase the weight. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Very valuable information for what may come. Thank you for sharing. Blessings!

[@Michigansnowpony]

I am very leery of canning anything dairy. Just can't make myself do it. I hope my goats stay healthy and I can continue to feed them!

[@BexarPrepper]

@abuelita23xxx Maybe don't really know never tried it. You would have to make sure the cloth was very very clean. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

@prepperpat I agree the prices are only going higher hunt for the sales or buy one extra everytime you shop. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Thank for breaking down the process of what we are creating. Although in the huge quantity we do for canning a double boiler would take you forever to process that much butter. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Don't do it store the ingredients flours are not safe to can. Use my cream of ??? soup and add garlic. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

@breezebro I think it taste funny but others don't mind it. I guess it's a matter of choice. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Wonderful and thank you for my coffeepot last year. The kids were glad you liked the pumpkin cookies and peanutbutter chocolate cocoa. Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Dennis do you own a cow? Blessings

[@kellinobelly1230]

We were using cheesecloth to strain the ghee even further after we follow your directions. Do You think that is ok?

[@robinconkel-hannan6629]

Butter is a good skin moisturizer and carrier for medications..

[@BexarPrepper]

I usually rotate on 5 year cycle but has stored 8 years without any changes in the product. Blessings!

[@marionstrader8496]

I have watched others vs butter (ghee) they say it will last forever and never go bad then heard will keep over 30 years. I have my butter 15 #'s I want to do today. Just had to watch you again. Love your videos. You are one of my favorites.😊

[@TheBluePepper]

Always the best videos from seasoned preppers.

[@gailaustin1817]

I just did my first bunch of butter. 8 lbs. Worked great! I was surprised at how easy it was. Thanks.

[@jamietaylor941]

Thank you for your awesome video and lessons. I was just talking about learning how to do this the other day. I'm still a beginner canner but watching your videos gives me the confidence to try new things. Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful day.

[@BexarPrepper]

I only use high heat while I get the foam to break then low the rest of the time. It takes longer to cook but prevents burning. I hope you try again. Blessings!

[@contreeman]

THANKS BEXAR I LEARN SEVERAL THINGS TODAY HOW TO CAN BUT ALSO IT GOOD FOR COOKING,Ghee is ideal fat for deep frying because its smoke point (where its molecules begin to break down) is 250 °C (482 °F), which is well above typical cooking temperatures of around 200 °C (392 °F) and above that of most vegetable oils. GOD BLESS

[@cannonmusic1]

Thank you for this information. My daughter and I are going to try this when I go visit her this fall.

[@BexarPrepper]

@misstresst LOL alot of people recommended I get some. I guess I just like to say ouch :) Blessings!

[@BexarPrepper]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Blessings!

[@HomeDistiller]

the foam is from proteins not impurities. as are al the clumps.. all you need for clear butter is warm it to melt and let it settle ie about 15 mins. you will be adding some burnt flavours. so there is a huge difference between your canned butter and normal butter, you have butter fat and not butter (you have 0% protein). you are better off pressure canning you keep the protein that way. you almost have beurre noisette not canned butter.

[@alenahughes2143]

I think your right bexterprepper, I shook the jars and it set up after a while. I think I made ghee.

[@jinxcarbajal9490]

Yes you made ghee. She is making ghee, or also called clarified butter.

[@kaycox5555]

THANK YOU!

[@Mycroft7771]

For picking up hot jars and tightening the lids, try a pair of mechanics gloves. Better grip than a potholder.

[@Angelbach1995]

I use rubber dish gloves. They have good grip and are fairly good on fit.

[@sandrareis4297]

Dumb question: I've been reading comments from others. What is "ghee"? I've never heard of this. Is that what canned butter is? Or is it made by the cooking process/ timing? What is the difference between canned butter and ghee, if there is a difference. Thank you so much for all these idea's, I can not wait to try your process.

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

Gee is the Indian name for clarified butter. My daughter spends about 8$ a pound for this so I make my own

[@AuntDuddie]

Unsalted butter is always fresher than salted. I love all the butter vids, cheese vids, doggie ate my jars vids..... ;) AND meatloaf vid. Thanks.

[@itstheblessing]

I was watching your video of canning cheese . Ref. to pressure canning you said you always pressure can the cheese and butter . In this video of canning butter you said you don't pressure can the butter /ghee . I canned some butter without pressure canning . Want to make some more but wanted to check with you on the method . Pressure canned or not ? Thank you . I love your video's . Linda

[@nirinjansingh7167]

part 2... Once the fat(top) is removed pour out the clear ghee, stopping before the water in the bottom pours out. Any water in the ghee will cause it to mold or go bad. With just the pure ghee, pour into jars and your done unless your want a longer shelf life. Without canning or refrigeration ghee willl last for over 6 months. Make sure to use a clean spoon everytime to prevent introducing contamination.

[@vanessahobson7095]

ok i am absolutely amazed by this video... i just have a couple questions... So by doing this whole process it removes additives and extra fat??? How do you store the butter??? Do you put it in the fride or freeze or just a cool dark place??? Can you bake with this butter??? I cant wait to try it... I watched the video while at work during night shift and now my co-workers want to try... Youre an inspiration!!!
