Description
In just a few steps make your own ghee at home. A less expensive way to add this ingredient to your recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz organic and grass-fed butter (more or less)
- 1 small sauce pan
- fine mesh strainer
- 1-cup jar
Instructions
- Cut butter into cubes and place in small pan.
- Warm over medium heat until melted, then reduce to low-medium heat.
- Simmer for 15-25 minutes, until milk solids have dropped to the bottom and started to brown.
- Using a fine mesh strainer of some kind (sometimes I use a nut milk bag or a tea strainer, but you can use 4-layer cheese cloth also), strain the butterfat into a glass jar or container, removing the milk solids.
- Discard the solids.
- Store the ghee in a covered jar or container at room temperature for 3 months, and then refrigerate for up to 1 year. (Though it is highly unlikely to last that long!)
- Enjoy this delicious fat with a high smoke for cooking meat and vegetables, or on toast, sweet potatoes, and in desserts!
