Thought this was cool!

Butter bottled
(Google “bottled butter”)

Real butter is best but margarine works too.

Heat pint jars in the oven @ 250 for 20 minutes.
Heat lids in boiling water for 3 minutes.

Slowly stir and melt the butter in a pan.
After it has boiled for 5 minutes, 

stir and then scoop the butter into the hot jars.
Use a funnel to keep butter off the rims.

Place the hot lid and ring on the jar and wait for the “plink.”

Shake jars several times over the next 15-20 minutes. The separation will stop.

While still slightly warm, put the jars in the refrigerator.
Check every 10-15 minutes, shaking jars each time.

Eventually the butter will harden. Leave in refrigerator for one more hour.

Bottled butter can store on your shelf  for at least 3 years!!!
