From what Brent and I have read, clarified butter and ghee are more or less the same thing; and what we’ve noticed is that ghee can be expensive and somewhat hard to find, depending on where you live. So, what did we decide to do? Make our own. 🙂
While Brent was at work on Saturday, I tried my hand at making ghee. It was really easy! Here are the two sources I used today to guide my ghee making adventure:
I clarified 4 sticks of unsalted butter (2 cups) and ended up with 13 ounces (1.625 or approx. 1 and 1/3 cups) of ghee. So far, I’ve used it in a number of dishes and I think its tastes and behaves just like the ghee we bought at the store. 🙂

| The butter cooking down. |

| After I spooned off most of the foam. |
 |
| The straining is complete! |
 |
| I was able to reuse the jar from the store-bought ghee and it was just the right size (13 oz). |
 |
| The final product, cooled and sealed and ready for use! 🙂 |
