Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted grass-fed butter (such as Kerrygold)
Instructions
- In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat. The milk solids will float to the top as the butter separates. Once the butter has completely melted, lower the temperature to low and continue cooking until most of the bubbling noises have stopped and the milk solids have sunk to the bottom of the pan and turned brown. Do NOT stir while this cooks Some of the butter might splatter out of the pan so stand back. This could take between 30 and 40 minutes from the time you start. As you start to hear less bubbling noises, watch the pot carefully in the last few minutes so that the milk solids do not burn. Remove from burner immediately. Pour the ghee through a mesh strainer that's been lined with a double layer of cheesecloth into a heat-proof and air-tight jar. Let cool before placing the lid on, then refrigerate for up to six months.
Notes
Using a stainless steel pot will help you keep an eye on the color.
Canning jars are great for storing since they are air-tight.
