I need clarified butter.

GHEE whiz :blush:

It's not my first copycat, but it's certainly my dumbest :shrug:

1. Golly ghee whiz

Melt unsalted butter slowly until the milk solids sink to the bottom of the pan. Skim any foam from the liquid, then carefully pour off the liquid - that's the ghee.

2. Once upon a time

we made mahjoun, which is a Middle Eastern fruit compote flavored with cannabis. (We knew a guy whose summer job one year was to clean about 80 lbs, and they let him keep the seeds and stems, and he knew we could use it. This was long ago in a galaxy far away.)

Clarify a pound of unsalted butter. Boil the weed in a stew pot with the ghee and water to cover for at least an hour. Strain the solids out and let stand until the water and the butter separate. The substances you want are lipid-soluble and will end up in the butter, and the stuff you don't want turns the water seriously icky. Scrape the butter off the surface (it will probably have solidifed) and put it in a bowl, adding raisins, dates, walnuts, cinnamon, cardamom, and anything else you can think of. Mix well and bake for an hour or so in a slow oven. It's real good on English muffins or toast. Don't eat more than a tablespoonful at one sitting, if you can restrain yourself :smoke:

3. That sounds tasty... and soothing.

4. That sounds fabulous...

We're presently enjoying a Middle Eastern diet. I think this would fit right in with it. :hippie: Thanks for the tip.
