Butterkeepers

These are for anyone who hates HARD Butter!

This is an old design from the 1700’s and how butter was kept for longer freshness before refrigerators became common place.

 

Let your stick butter soften until sticky like creamy peanut butter. Smoosh your softened butter into the lid. Fill the base with enough cool water that is comes up around the tube of butter as the lid is inserted. Just like when a boat capsizes the water displaces around your butter and will not journey up into the tube. Butter is not water soluble, it is mostly fat, so water will bead up on its surface.  Make sure to change your water every couple of days and avoid getting any food particles stuck in the butter. Leave out on your counter or table and you will always have soft fresh butter.

*Note: Do not place butterkeeper on or near your stove, in your windowsill or anywhere it can sit in the sun. This will cause the butter to melt.

 

Instructions will be sent with each Butterkeeper
