Salting Butter to Preserve it

[Kenneth Eames]

1. Buy firm Salted Butter. Sterilize jars (Jam, Honey,etc), when cool press the butter in to the jars until 1cm from the jar top, then fill with dry salt to the rim and srew on the lid.
2. Another way. Cut Butter into cubes and place in sterilised 1lb Jars. Boil water and add two Tablespoons of salt per cup of water. Let the water cool before adding to the butter in the jars. Close the lid and keep in a cool dark place.
After time the taste of butter will become stronger but will remain edible. Occassionally butter is found in the bog and can still be eaten. Kenneth Eames.
