If I buy organic heavy whipping cream and make my own butter would that be qualified as clarified butter?

It would only be Whole30 if you then melted your homemade butter down and removed the fat solids to make actual clarified butter.0

Clarified butter is when you take the milk solids out so you'd have to make your own butter, then melt it and remove the milk solids. So no. It'd be easier just to buy pre made butter and clarify it0

I make my own and it is very easy. Takes awhile to skim off the fat solids but well worth it.0

So what brand could I buy then? The whole thing is confusing!!!0

Oh get it,ok nevermind!!0

Coconut oil.

Or just buy Ghee. There are several brands availabe on Amazon, and I find it in the Indian/Pakistani section of my farmer's market dry goods section.0

Made my own this morning and wow! It was easy and so pretty. I was tempted to take a picture of my jar of clarified and my dish of milkfat.
Anyone know how long the milkfat will be good? Threw it in the freezer because I had a hard time throwing it away.0 -
If you put the solids in the freezer, they should be fine easily a couple months just like regular butter when frozen (tightly sealed). But you can use it on veggies, in sweet potato mash, put some in your coffee, etc so if you're not doing a whole 30 or abstaining from dairy, they can be used up rather quickly on/in anything you want to be a little creamy0

Exactly why I wanted to save it. Doing whole30 now, but will back off afterwards. Thanks :happy:0 -
I purchase Purity Farms Organic Ghee at Dekalb Farmers Market (for those in the Atlanta area) 13 oz for $7.89. Cheaper than what Amazon has it.0
