-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds butter

 

In a large saucepan melt the butter and bring to a boil. Boil a few minutes

keeping a careful watch. When froth begins to disappear remove from heat and

allow to cool. Skim remaining froth from the top. Pour into a glass jar but do

not pour sediment from the bottom of the pan.

 

*AUTHOR'S NOTES*

Has a unique flavor and will not easily burn. It also keeps for a very long

time in the refrigerator. Butter or margarine may be used as a substitute.
