Family Fun
I had
my mom and sister here for a visit this weekend and my mom was able to show me
how to make Ghee properly. I have
attempted making Ghee in the past but I overcooked it which left my house smelling like burnt popcorn. The colour was also totally off looking, a brown/gold which is
not what you’re going for.
But this weekend with my mom’s help, we had success! She did
the first pound of butter showing me what to do, and I did the second and we
got beautiful yellow yummy smelling ghee!
I did learn that if you decide you want to try and make your own, you do
need to be extremely patient. You need to commit yourself to the kitchen, watching and skimming the butter until it’s ready. I didn't keep my eye on the
clock but I would say to give yourself at least one hour. The benefit of making
ghee at home is you can save yourself quite a few pennies. Ghee can be pretty
expensive to buy but if you make it yourself it is basically just the cost of the butter. The other benefit is that you get to pick the organic brand
or company that you support and then you know exactly what kind of butter the
ghee is being made from. Now that I know what to do, I will definitely be making my own
ghee as much as possible!
