Qiviut; Ghee...I did make some, but since I had it I used salted butter! (Which in rereading your post you suggested I not do!) I will use unsalted next time. I used an oven bake method which seems to work well.

I really do like the taste. I also liked the taste of the skimmed off solids, and since I am not lactose intolerant, I will not waste and I use them on bread or in soup or on vegetables. Intense taste, and incredibly salty! Mrs. Pete thinks its great, however I told her I was making "Clarified Butter" which is mostly true. If I told her it was Ghee she would probably associate it with Yak husbandry or Tibet and India and refuse to eat anything made with it. As long as its "Clarified Butter" its associated with Lobster and Crab and Texas toast! (I might tell her the alternative name after we have been using it a while!)

I don’t know anything about Yaks! Salted butter works, I just prefer unsalted as it seems to work better. I’ve never used the oven method but it does sound much easier. Ghee solids are tasty added to food, salty or not.

Cute video of the musk ox farm!

Glad you liked the ghee - it’s tasty & has some good health benefits, too.

Good that there are many cooks in the FR kitchen. I made brown rice pudding with whole milk last week, which I like. Been a while since i made it, and I did look up the rations on some recipe sites, which are poorly designed, or rather, designed to make you go thru adds white space to find all the info.

But may all here feel free to post favorite simple stove-top brown rice pudding recipes. Thank God for all.
