Throwback at Trapper Creek 
Do you blanch and freeze the cauliflower or pickle it? Or both? 🙂
Just blanch and freeze, actually in the dead of winter when we have no fresh, it roasts up pretty good 🙂 And a lot of it ends up in pot pie 🙂
So how well do you actually wash & work the butter before making ghee?
Not at all. And yesterday I used the food processor, while I was trying to get 6 bowls of chopped cauliflower blanched. It’s been too hot to work the butter, it’s greasy, so I’ve just been making the ghee until it cools down.
Corrupted by the food processor!
I’m glad it isn’t just me. Even if I get my cream temp right for churning this time of year, my wash water can be too warm for nice butter. I have to remember to turn the pump on so the water in the tank is cooled!
Exactly! It’s hard to describe greasy butter, but if you’ve worked it you know. It’s greasy. And I never can get that soft butter clean. Our water is spring water too, nice and cold in the winter, and not so cold in the summer. The yield is lower for ghee though…but I sure like it for some things and when I’m too busy to get to it when it’s cooler in the house.
A wonderful abundance of produce in blending colour tones…. You have a rich bounty and rich fertile pay dirt….loved your description recently 🙂
