“Flour, sugar, and butter typically go on sale now, too”

When I picked up my turkey at Aldi’s yesterday, I also got some butter. They had them for a $2.49, limit of six.

“Whenever you find a sale on REAL butter, go ahead and stock up. You can freeze butter or you can home-can it. Canned butter lasts for years if the seals are secure and it’s kept in a cool place.
Always pressure can butter instead of water-bathing it. Butter is dairy and non-acidic so the water bath method will not stop botulism. Canning butter is so easy and the best type of jars to use are half-pint, wide-mouth jars. The wide mouth makes it easier to get the butter out of the jars and opening a half pint at a time is convenient for most families.”

I used this method several years ago, it worked great. The jars I have are still sealed.

I’ve heard of canning butter but never tried it. I’ll look into that and maybe give it a go this year.

Cabot butter usually goes on sale at this time of year and it is very low moisture. It seems to not have the milk content of other butters. I found that when making cookies with it the cookies come out very dry.
