I read several sites that said canning your own butter was not safe, but this gal has a recipe for pressure canning butter that looks like it should work.

I have not tried canning butter since I read Enola Gay's post on it on Familia Paratus.

It seems to me that if the butter will keep in cool temps, canning it wouldn't really be necessary.... Didn't people (prerefrigeration) just keep butter in their cellars?

I'm still too chicken to can butter. Instead, I brine mine.

I clarify the butter (ghee) and can that, I hot pack into sterile jars and if the jars don't seal, I put them into an inch of water (don't cover with water cause you don't want water in the jars) and get the jars and contents good and hot then turn off and let cool. They usually seal at that point. The ghee will keep a long time because you have removed the water and the milk solids.

That makes me laugh that the lady goes by Enola Gay. I read that the plane was named after the guy's mom; reckon this is the lady's real name or she just likes to be equated with the plane that dropped The Bomb?

IIRC, it's because she's the mom (in her family) and she liked that he named the plane after his mom.

But the truth is...I'm not 100% sure.
