Canning Butter

There is some controversy over canning butter. Several people say they have been canning butter for many years without a problem. The USDA says not to can butter. "Canning" butter is not done with a pressure canner or a water-bath canner.

Kellene, at http://www.preparednesspro.wordpress.com/?s=canning+butter, researched the matter. She found that if the jars, lids and utensils are sterilized well and the butter prepared properly (she gives the directions), then she feels it is safe.

It is intriguing to think we could can butter. I will not tell you to can butter or to not can butter. Research it on your own--knowledge is powerful. Let me know of your thoughts by posting a comment.
