jmcbn Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I've never heard of anyone attempting to do so.I wouldn't be a fan of it on sweet potato myself & tend to use mine for frying eggs or mixing with other fats to roast veggies in.Maybe try coconut, olive or any kind of nut oil on your sweet potato & save the ghee for something else...

jeanbean Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Im making it ghee today. Never had it before, hope it tastes good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina R Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 You might want to try a different brand. I tried a brand with a blue label and it was terrible. I then purchase Pure Indian Ghee from amazon and it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought ghee at Trader Joes and thought it tasted horrible on a sweet potato ( and horrible in general). Is there a way to change the flavor? You could do something like these (I didn't look at all of them, obviously check to make sure ingredients are Whole30 compliant). Or you could try to make a compound ghee instead of this compound butter. Like jmcbn, I mostly just cook with it, rather than putting it on stuff just before eating. I made ghee once, while I was not doing a Whole30, just to see if I liked my own better than store bought. It turns out that the stuff you take out of the butter, is the part of the butter I like. (Please note -- while doing a Whole30, do not eat the stuff that you take out of the butter if you clarify your own. I was not doing a Whole30 and was curious what it tasted like.)

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted July 30, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2015 Day 3 of whole30...yay! I bought ghee at Trader Joes and thought it tasted horrible on a sweet potato ( and horrible in general). Is there a way to change the flavor? I've bought that one before and the taste and smell is awful. There are definitely degrees of tastiness to ghee... consider that a grass fed, organic ghee would taste much different than a ghee from conventional cattle, just due to what the animal eats. I use the TJ's ghee IN things. I've also made 'Better Butter' from Well Fed 2 and it was delicious and smelled amazing, so there ARE ways that you can have infused or flavoured ghee but that usually starts with making it yourself.

SMB2003 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 TJ ghee is horrible. I thougth it all was going to taste like that until I made my own using Kerrygold unsalted butter. Now THAT, I could eat with a spoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmr_sailor Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Me (and my kids) think our ghee stinks, but it tastes good to me. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy7476 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've been making my own for over a year now. Very simple in crock pot. If stop cooking when still yellow it is clarified butter and if let cook longer it develops deeper flavor and that's ghee (used in Indian food). You may like the clarifies butter better. Family gave up dairy and a jar stills on my counter by stove and use for everything. Also can be added to olive oil for great flavor. Since pure fat it doesn't burn like butter. Look on Palo websites for recipes. Nomnom Paleomhas a good one I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTNan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 This doesn't answer your question about ghee... But have you ever tried cinnamon on sweet potatoes? De-Lish-Us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyriel Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I love TJ's Ghee, very buttery flavor. I went out of my way to get more of it today. I hated the Shiba's brand ghee. It was very nutty; they let it get hotter I think. If our tastes are opposite maybe you'll like that? It's with the Indian foods at any average grocery store that I've been to.

I only strained it once through a coffee filter. Did I not get all the milk proteins out? Did I not let it cool properly before I put the lid on? It was beautiful and clear when I went to bed. What is the best way to make sure it's strained properly? I feel not-to-well today but it's only Day 3. So I can't tell if I let dairy back in and need to start over, or if it's just part of the ghee-making process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
