I haven't tried canning butter (or bacon grease), but I came to similar conclusions about its safety. <br /><br />I did see one canning website (not a USDA document) that discussed why home canning recipes always tell you to take the fat off meat that touched on butter and strayed into the realm of fats being too dense to get hot enough in the home canner. There were a lot of those "canning police" arguing about it, and my conclusion remained basically the same. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing your experience!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287039329338384393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113276195349467200.post-9510891495194876392016-06-09T18:53:48.763-07:002016-06-09T18:53:48.763-07:00I think the consistency is different between rehar...I think the consistency is different between rehardened butter and fresh butter because of the water you lose in the process. I agree that it's a weird texture! Ah well, canned foods are usually different.

So in long term shortages I don't have to worry about my dairy or eggs instead of depending on grocery stores or refrigeration to keep it for a long time.Carleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968882628930419751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1113276195349467200.post-43109419391447399742015-07-14T05:00:53.889-07:002015-07-14T05:00:53.889-07:00Zina,

First of I found the texture is different after it's been melted compared to creamed butter. I've always got better results at baking (which I do a lot of) when I used creamed butter compared to melted butter that's back into it's solid form. Plus for some unknown reason I find it creepy just knowing there would be jars of butter in my pantry. when I buy several pounds of butter, I just freeze it. I'm sorry I don't mean if I offended anyone.
