Clarified Butter

Many recipes call for clarified butter. It sounds complicated but it really is quite a basic process. Make a bunch and store it in your refrigerator so you have it when you need it. Clarified butter stores well in an airtight jar at room temp for 6 months, or in an air tight jar in the refrigerator for 1 year. Make sure no water comes in contact with the butter in the jar or it can mold. #sonomnom4u #clarifiedbutter
