Showing you how to can butter for long tern food storage in a manner that will be safe to eat years from now. Presto 23-Quart Pressure Canner and Cooker amzn.to/3yz7hip Canning Kit amzn.to/3w4i6Hz
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel. You are absolutely NOT a bumbling idiot! Please don’t say that about yourself. I found you very pleasant to listen to. Donna
Thank you for a great informational video on how to safely pressure can milk for long term storage. I can my butter similarly. I have also canned ghee but, I do prefer the taste of real butter. Only difference I do, is actually not the butter itself but, my pressure caner. I also have a 23qt Presto caner. Same model as you have. When I grew up and was learning how to preserve food. Our pressure caner was of the old type that only had the jiggler and NOT the pressure gauge in the middle. Of course it had the pop up thingy as well as the rubber nipple in the lid, that IF you did somehow manage to get to much pressure in the caner, it would pop and let the pressure out. As an adult, I was still using the old type pressure caner with only the jiggler. Unfortunately, when I moved over to northern Scandinavia, where I still am. I had to leave my pressure caner behind, thinking I could buy a new one over here... NOPE... They don't use that system here. They only use water bath and more or less only use it for jams, preserves and maybe pickles... I had to buy my 23qt Presto through Amazon in the US and yes, it did cost me an arm, leg and my firstborn with shipping and custom/duty fees... Next problem was finding jars that could withstand the heat and pressure, hopefully from within the European Union, so I wouldn't get slapped with the crazy custom/duty fees. Finally manged to find good quality jars, which I could use the Ball type lids and rings on. Something that made me VERY happy... Back to my pressure caner... Since I for so many years was used to only the jiggler, that pressure gauge in the middle was driving me totally bonkers!!! I read up on the Presto caner and found out that I could use the different weighted jiggler on the caner and totally ignore the gauge!!! Hallelujah!! I'm back to enjoying caning again!!! 😁
You are absolutely right about sterilization when canning & using a pressure canner. There is no need to pre-sterilize jars if you pressure canning. The minimum pressure for 5 pounds is already at the temperature that kills bacteria, etc. Don't let anyone in the canning field tell you otherwise - many have just followed what grandma did and that's fine. Their methods work as well, but I do my canning the way you do and its less work. The only thing I don't do is use vinegar to clean my jar rims; especially on a dairy product because one teeny drop that could fall into your jar will change it. You can use a very damp paper towel and it works fine. Great job on the video! Your wife should be very proud and thankful to have a husband like you. God bless.
The vinegar cuts any grease that may be on the rim of the jar. You do NOT have the paper towel soaking wet with vinegar just damp with vinegar. Water is not going to cut any grease on the jar.
I'm so glad YouTuvbe recommended your video to me. You're great! I hope you come back to your channel and upload some more videos for that tractor money. Just in case you are monetized, I'm going to start at the first video in your uploads list and let my TV run through them all.
Wait 24 hours till the jars seal Then you can shake jars next morning several times If you shake soon as they come out of canner you might cause some butter to get under the seal and cause a false seal This is imo and other Prepper’s whom I have watched do it God bless you and your family 🙏♥️🙏
Don't get more comfortable. You're adorable just as you are. I think I'll be canning some butter! BTW -The editing on this video is nice too, with the ASMR preserved.
You’re doing great and I hope your channel takes off! Not many of us have these skills and it’s great for the newcomers to learn! I grew up knowing how to can but never thought about canning butter! Thank you from a new subscriber! ❤
My husband made ghee and it calls for the foam completely removed. I didn’t see any difference in taste. It’s supposed to be shelf stable for a long time. Your method works for me. We will be doing this shortly. If the power goes out for a long period then the butter will be safe.
You are Good. I am Clutzy. Don't worry, you're fine. I understood everything. You are not a Bumbling Idiot.you are very Knowledgeable. Keep Going. Thank the the Canning Lesson
i never subscribe, but you I feel, deserve it. A gas stove is a LOT easier to can on then a glass top that you have. You have done a GREAT job in my opinion.
New subscriber here, your video showed up in the feed. Great video! You’re doing great and this video answered a few things I’ve been concerned about. I just got my first Presto Pressure Canner and I’m just waiting to have the time to do this!
I am new to your channel been camping for a while but I have never done better I was going to do ghee but I ain't done that yet either but I'm getting around to it when I get to feeling better thank you for the video I enjoyed it
I find that it is a lot less work to melt the butter in the jars. Just keep putting knobs of butter in there till it's not quite full. All other aspects are the same. Oh, and I do not use vinegar to clean the rims on any dairy product. Buy an adjustable weight, you will be so glad you did.
I put about 2 tbls of vinegar in the water. If you have hard water this helps from getting water marks on your jars and looking dirty. Thank you for the video. I need to do something with all the butter I have in the freezer.
Yes but!!! If the jars siphon, you don’t want that vinegar IN your butter! I use cream of tartar in mine with better results! Vinegar doesn’t keep my platform from discoloring but the cream of tartar does!
Just saw this video! I want to try this instead of freezing my butter. When I freeze it it tends to pick up a freezer taste. I have tried double bagging it and putting it in the freezer. I don’t even like having it in the fridge in the boxes they come in because it picks up a funny taste from the fridge. But of course my fridge doesn’t stay spotlessly clean.😬
I can my butter this same way. I can it like you do meat. I cringe when I see how some people can butter(often Ghee, not even "real" butter). I want that butter fat. I want SAFE. I have eaten our butter after 4 years(never any fails). The only reason for 4 years is because it's so good we run out! Thank you for posting.
I’m very new at canning, my presto is unopened from Amazon sitting in the floor. So glad you showed everything about the entire process! This is the information I was looking for. I must of watched 4 hours of how to can butter yet none were exactly what I needed, till now! I’m happy to hear about the disinfecting of the jars, lids and butter. While in the canner! Thank you
I have to agree with the other comment. I have watched so many videos on canning butter; all of the sterilizing jars and lids and skimming the milk fat from the top. You make a lot of sense. Thanks for the video.
I really hate to tell you this but next time but a towel over the crack of stove and counter. I think you are dripping butter in between the stove and the cabinet. However, Thant you for the sharing. I did not know you could pressure can butter. I was always worried about the sterilization the way other people do it. I may try this. i am a new subbie.
Thanks so much. Been trying to get my courage to try my new canner. Love you simple calm style. After the butter is finished what is the method for storing? How long have you storred yours successfully?
Cool, dark place…low humidity…as for all canned items. I canned butter for the first time 2 years ago and cracked open one the other day. DELISH!! One lady said she was finishing up her supply she canned FIVE years earlier and repeatedly said it will last AT LEAST 5 Years.
Thank you! I just finished my first 6 pints. Only had 1 that didn’t seal. Question: my next batch tomorrow, could I clean the jar and re-pressure can it?
How long have you been canning better like this? This is pretty interesting. I save this video for future reference for when I do it. And you might’ve said it in the video but I missed it how long will this last on the shelf?
I would like to know your source for how to safely can butter. As far as I have been able to learn from the National Center for Home Food Preservation (they are the ones who set the standards for safety and quality for home canning) there is NO SAFE WAY to can ANY dairy products including butter. So my question again is where is the data to show that your method of canning butter is safe? Thanks.
If you want to do it, do it. If not, then dont. No one is forcing you to. Im guessing you've never eaten at an Amish table. Lol. The Amish and generations of non-Amish families have used canning methods other than what the government dictates as safe and have come out no worse for the wear, with negligible incidences of food poisoning. It's up to each canner to decide what works for their family.
No. Just be sure to crank he ring down tight after they come out of the canner before you shake the jars. If you don't shake them, they'll be separated & harder to mix when you use them.
Question, isn't butter low acidic? How can I be sure I won't make people sick that eat it. I tried canning some. Its been e days and the butter is still liquid. I'm scare I made a big mistake
Are you in a hot climate? If you are like I am I believe the butter will stay liquid in our jars. I have not canned any yet but want to. I just can’t find anyone that has done this in the south like Florida where it’s always hot. I live in the Bahamas and we never get “cold”
I’ve done over 300 mason jars pressure canning, no problem.. today , I’m doing the butter. Did what you said exactly, but once I put weight on, after it was ready to do so, the pressure cooker started making a really loud high pitched tone, like your house fire alarm does. What happened, I immediately turned off cooker, moved to cool burner, waiting to cool down to open it to see what’s going on. Any help would be appreciated Thx.. panicking😳😫
