      To extend shelf life ....heat up your mason jar, heat up your lid....ladle your ghee into the hot jar...place lid on and screw cap shut as the ghee cools down, it creates suction. If you want to foolproof the process, place processed ghee in the oven for a few minutes before placing lid and cap on. Thanks for sharing!!

    steps:
    1)Grass fed butter from grocery
    2)Put butter in glass which is oven safe....preheat 250
    3)Put the butter in oven for about 1 hour to hour and half and see for separation from milk solids. ...take the ghee in separate glass jar or strain in to it.

    I may have commented on this before.
    1. The smoke point of butter is 302, not 350. This is important as some may try using butter for the wrong temperature.
    2. You should find a good recipe for making ghee on the stovetop. It takes around 20 minutes.
    3. The butter needs to get hot to evaporate the water. This video is a little better than others. I saw one guy vacuum seal butter in a boiling water safe cooking bag. He then melted the butter while it was still in the sealed bag. He then opened the bag and strained it. That is not ghee or clarified butter. The water must evaporate or else it will go bad quickly on the counter.
    4. Do not strain butter that melted on the counter or outside and think that it is ghee and ready to be stored. You can strain it, but you should still cook it to evaporate the water. Yet again, water evaporation is important for long term storage.
    This is all I can think of right off hand, but I think there are a couple more important issues.

    This was too simple! This would make great Christmas gifts in pint jars. Thank you! ------- Edit after experimentation: This oven method is a great way to do it, but I've found that a large round pyrex bowl is easier to get the "gold" out of. After skimming the top, and letting the bowl cool a bit, pour the gold out by slowly moving the bowl from left to right as you pour, just as the bottom layer almost gets out-- change directions. (It truly is a bit like panning for gold if you've ever done it.) You don't have to ladle, and you waste less if you do at least 2# at a time. This oven method is the way to go! Thanks Stacy!

    Oh my stars! Tonight’s dinner is used many ways, meat loaf becomes, chili for hot dogs, meat for spaghetti sauce, home made sloppy Joe’s. Today’s baked potatoes become breakfast home fries, the next nights mashed potatoes, or potato crust and topping for shepherds pie, or baked potato salad, I’ve learned growing up if you waste something you don’t need it and everything can be reinvented.
    Vegetables had throughout the summer for dinner get tossed in a big container in the freezer and become vegetable soup base for winter soup. Carrots , potatoes, green beans, Lima beans, cabbage, pinto beans.. just toss whatever you have left over in the container ( frozen gallon ice cream buckets are great) then scoop out as needed for soup or mixed veggies, I could go on and on with this..
    Now clothes, reinvent them as well.. my sons out grown jeans became my daughters denim skirts or shorts if the knees were gone.
    If patches needed , sew hearts of butterflies on them and she had her very own one of a kind jeans put the same color material patches ( heart, butterfly’s, etc ) on t shirts and have a matching set. She was always cute as a button and I saved a bunch on clothes. When there is no life left clothes turn them into pot holders, rugs, cleaning clothes , strainers, then stuffing for pillows and toys.. everything has a little bit more life left in it.. just needs some imagination and handiwork to be reinvented and reloved !

    I started making ghee last year and am very happy with it for reasons you give. I'm also off-grid and have no fridge, and like to use a healthy, flavourful fat that can take a little temperature when frying. I make my gee on the stove top as I don't have an oven (yet). Will try the oven when I get one. My naughty little secret is making a kind of toffee with the milk solids by adding some soft brown sugar and stirring in just a tiny bit of milk to dissolve the sugar together with the heat. Another lovely, simple sweet dish with molten butter is to pour it over some cooked rice, then sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on it.

  • @sunnyday5621
    @sunnyday5621 Рік тому +10

    I was taught by my grandmother on putting up Ghee. There are 2 differences that I was taught. First: After jarring the ghee and letting it set up, lightly (1/4 teaspoon per jar) and evenly sprinkle salt across the top. This will ensure no mold. the first use of each jar was to fry meat, to use the salt top. We knew it was a 1/4 teaspoon, so that was deducted from the recipe.
    Second: retain the last 1/4 th of the butter fat with the milk solids and the top skim and place it into a kettle. On a medium to medium low heat, simmer until only the fat remains, by stirring until the milk solids evaporate, the top skim sinks. This will turn the butter fat a nutty brown. Making it faster, I use a cool water bath and keep stirring until the brown bits suspend. Then jar it. This is very buttery and great in baking and finishing. I love it on popcorn. You can not use it for frying, because the brown bits can burn.
    I come from 3 generations of dairy farmers with Jersey cows. So we always had lots of cream and butter. You can not beat the A2 A2 Jersey milk. The fat from a butchered Jersey is also yellow and tastes like butter. The rendered tallow is wonderful.

    Stacey, thanks for pointing out that ghee is what many of us cooks have known for oodles of years as "clarified butter". The term "ghee", as it has fashionably come to be called these days, has grown out of the recent popularity for Indian cuisine. It's a fancier way of describing a very old kitchen technique for clarifying, or separating, butter fat from the milk solids. You can go a little further, by browning the milk solids lightly, leaving them in the butter, and using the "browned butter" in baking recipes. My family loves using browned butter in chocolate chip cookies.

    • @carrikartes1403
      @carrikartes1403 2 роки тому +7

      ghee is not exactly the same as clarified butter.
      you cook it longer until the milk solids start to caramelize.
      that gives ghee that slightly nutty taste

    Hi Stacey!
    I just tried this for the second time.... and have what I think is an even easier way to "strain" the ghee.
    In my oven I melted the butter in a small mouthed "mason jar" (a Classico pasta sauce jar). I was able to slowly pour the ghee from the pasta jar through the small metal strainer directly into the large mason jar. No ladling required! The sharp shoulder of the pasta jar keeps the milk solids on the bottom from escaping, letting you pour out 95% of the ghee into your storage jar before the milk solids start to come out. The last bit of ghee/milk solids gets poured into a small custard dish, and let cool. The ghee turns solid with the liquid milk on the bottom of the dish. Poke a hole or two ( like you're opening a can of condensed milk etc.) in the layer of ghee on top, and you can pour out the milk leaving the ghee behind in the dish.
    Cheers!

      Well it's not quite the same, even though most ghee says "clarified butter" on the label. Clarified butter is simply heated till it's melted and the milk solids sink to the bottom, then the butter oil is strained out.
      Ghee is simmered in order to toast the milk solids, which adds flavor to the ghee; I call it toasted butter oil. Ghee is also cooked for a while in order to drive the water out of the butter; butter has a surprising amount of water in it.

    It's very easy to make ghee too, just add unsalted butter in a vessel and keep it at the lowest flame. Dont touch it after that. Once you see that the butter is turning clear and milk solids have settled down strain it. I always take it a little further than what's shown in the video. The milk solids just clump together then and I can pour everything right through a strainer. The one you used to skim the top.
