Butter is delicious, but you have to refrigerate or freeze it. But turn it into ghee, and you can store it on the shelf! In this video, we're making a big batch of ghee from the 8 pounds of butter I made awhile back, and then we're going to process it in the pressure canner. I'll go through every single step of the method I use to end up with several pints of clarified butter that's ready for the pantry.
Disclaimer: While canning butter and other dairy products is not recommended by the USDA, many people choose to do it anyway. This video is not a recommendation or endorsement of canning ghee, but merely a depiction of how I personally do it. As with all home canning, it is done at your own risk, and it is up to you to ensure that it is done safely.
