Has anyone canned butter?

I've seen and read some varied reports of people canning butter for long term storage. I was thinking if it worked-even just for a 6 month period-that'd be wonderful. Periodically I am able to get my hands on tasty Amish butter, but would like to be able to get more, have it last longer and not lose space in my fridge or freezer. Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts 👍🏻

Ghee is what they use in India to cook with, it has the milk solids separated from the butterfat and it can be canned in jars.

@Oster1 Still worthy of reading and looking up information! I never heard of canning butter until now and there is a lot of information out there.... yet, some say never do that!
I'd give it a go.

@SW-User Absolutely! You are so correct!

I did not know either, until I looked it up. glad I did, too!

well with all due honesty it's better if it's premade not by your hand to freeze and many times you do not need to.. unless conditions are that variable like heat, high humidity, conditions with the storage where it could be disrupted...

but to churn your own and uh, whatever else you want to do.. esp. this day and age with cannabis legalizing about..... freezing is best. (if it's a defrosting type then get those blue ice packs you can get from cvs or.... and an insulated freezer type lunch carrier. which you can also get at cvs, grocers, amazon.... this will help 'buffer' the thawing process of defrosting fridges.

to 'can' will 'tinge' the butter and make it turn and curdle.
in many cases even if it's salted accordingly.

I wouldn't have thought metal and dairy were a good mix.

Lady I didn't even know canned butter was a thing until now

I think separate the milk part from the fat and making Ghee like they use in India is probably gonna be the best way to keep it from going rancid. IN Morocco they bury butter for a year or longer and use it for tagines, they actually call it rancid butter, I can't imagine how cooking with rancid fats would be healthy for the liver or even tasty.

Freezing butter works.

Butter freezes well, so stash a stick or two in the freezer (leave in the original wrapping and place in a freezer bag) and you'll always have some on hand when you need it. If you're constantly running out, freeze a backup supply in an airtight container.

@Enchanted I'm definitely into freezing butter, and have no issue doing so. I was more wondering what other options -i.e. Canning- people have tired 😊
Good butter goes quick, but it's not always within driving distance lol
