After a lot of thought about this blog post, I have decided to retract it. I had heard lots of rumors that bottling butter was not safe, and figured that there was just a little paranoia going around. However, after reading this notice, I have decided that I don't think I will be bottling butter in the future. I don't think that there is any scientific evidence that bottled butter can cause botulism, but there also isn't any evidence to support it as a safe procedure.
If you would still like instructions for bottling butter, it can be found here. I advise you to use your own best judgment when deciding if this is a storage option for your family. And as always, if you feel uncomfortable about a storage method, don't do it and find an alternative instead.

I have a good friend who does this. She was telling me about it months ago, but I never got the reipe. So, thank you for posting it for me! It looks like I have my next food storage project.
ReplyDeleteGENIUS!!! I'm totally doing this!Thanks for posting great directions and pictures!!
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks for posting all the info. And I just LOVE your new blog. That is cool that you won that shirt for Eden. She will look so cute in it. I entered the other giveaways that were on the site. That would be cool if I win one. Those crowns are so cute. I might try to copy them and make some for my kids. They are always wanting a crown. And it would be cool for Nick to have a boy one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post, my friend taught me how to do this about 2 years ago & I have not done it yet, it looks so easy & I can't wait to bottle ours now too!
ReplyDeleteThe Jeff comment is actually from me Connie, I didn't know he was logged in!
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't even know you could do this. I am a butter fiend, and now feel like I could live off of my food storage if I had to. Anything tastes better with butter on it, right? Thanks for the recipe. I am anxious to see if it survives Nevada. Thank goodness it's finally getting cooler around here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this Connie. I was looking at Camie's blog and saw her post. I have a ton of jars that I need to use and we already have enough jam. I have been wanting to do a new project and this is one that I will be able to do and have my kids help with while they are on track break. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing. Love your new blog.
ReplyDeleteI've done basically nothing towards my emergency prep and food storage. I have a lot of work to do but I think about it often and I am determined to make progress little by little.
ReplyDeleteWow Connie... this is awesome! Thanks for posting it and such great pics to go with it! I'm definitely going to have to do this! And I like the new blog. :)
ReplyDeleteButter - canned!!! So glad I saw Cami's post about this. Butter tastes so much better than oil on the bread I will have to make when things get rough. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your blog too!

I love storing butter in this manner. It is so easy. I can't imagine my storage plan without having my butter
ReplyDeleteDo you know if you can use butter or margarine? Does it really make a difference?

ReplyDeleteIn conclusion, with no testing having been conducted to validate these methods, we would NOT recommend or endorse them as a safe home-canning process, let alone for storing butter at room temperature for an extended period.

You can buy canned butter from this website http://www.internet-grocer.net/butter.htm. i have no personal gain in telling you this, just thought it interesting that I saw both websites on the same night. Glad I found yours, recently my friend hunkered down in Houston during the Hurricane, and afterward she could not find butter or margrine in the stores. Who would of thunk! Anyhoo..happy storage!
ReplyDeleteI just bottled some butter today and I think I screwed it up. I kept shaking it and it would just seperate again. I put it in the fridge and it solidified with a white stuff on the bottom and some have a little liquid on the bottom...what should I do?
ReplyDeleteYou have to REALLY watch it while it's in the fridge. And shake it every minute or so after you put it in. One of mine started hardening while it was a little separated, and I had to shake it really hard to get it to mix. I'd say just watch them really well after they go into the fridge and you should be fine.
ReplyDeleteI love to prepare some recipe with potatoes although i know that a person can gain weight if eat potatoes frequently, but i can´t deny that i really like the flavor, most of all when is combine it with some ingredients. Simply delicous. And when i cook, my husband usually is very happy.
ReplyDeleteActually i was looking information about how tobuy viagra but i reached this blog, i really enjoyed reading.
