Butter Canning Feasible Only Under Certain Conditions
Mrs. Winifred J. Leverenz a food preservation specialist at A and M College Extension Service says butter canning is possible but limited by factors. Start with pure good quality butter from sweet or slightly sour cream. Use enamel-lined cans or jars with careful washing and minimal working, add three quarters tablespoon salt per pound for flavor and shelf life.
Canning Butter Tips From Mrs Leverenz
In a dark place or wrapped to keep out light, canned butter should be cooled and not heated. Fill cans with butter, place in small amounts, pack tightly to remove air, and seal with no lid space. Store in a cool place below 70 degrees F, preferably a freezer locker or cellar, for longer preservation.
