Robin R. Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have been using my homemade clarified butter. Just finished my Whole 30 a few days ago. I had it in the fridge and understood that you could keep it at room temperature for up to 3 months. I had just a little bit left so I left it on my table. I just opened it and it was MOLDY! Gah! What does this mean? I followed all of the instructions on how to make it. I used Kerrygold buttre. Removed milk solids, then strained through a cheesecloth. Allowed to completely cool before storing. I put it in a glass jar and put in the fridge. Can you please tell me what happened? Does this mean there were milk solids in it? I am so confused!

purplepadres Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Moisture can also cause that. If your jar wasn't completely dry, or somehow, some water/steam/etc. got in there, mold can build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R. Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Thank you! Maybe that is all it was. I will make sure to pay attention to that next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellmaestra Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Also, make sure you use a clean spoon to dish out the ghee. I know that sounds silly, but there was one time I had ghee get weird, and I think it's because I had a habit of taking a little taste of the ghee and using the same spoon to dish it out... don't judge. :-) Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin R. Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Oh I won't! I thought I was being really careful, but I will make certain to be especially careful next time. I was just so disappointed this morning. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
