BUTTER!!!!
I started with 4 lbs of butter. Melted it down and brought it to a rolling boil for about 7-8min. The minimum boil is 5 minutes. I had 10 jelly jars in a 250 degree oven for about 35 minutes. The minimum is 20 minutes.
I ladled the melted butter into the hot jars, wiped the rims and put the hot lids and rings on.
You can see that the butter separates. Once they start to cool down and you hear the lids pop and seal, pick each up and shake them. You want it all to mix back together. You're going to shake them every 5 minutes or so. After they cool down quite and bit and you have it mostly mixed up, put them in the refrigerator and shake every 5 minutes. You'll be surprised at how quickly they harden into a lovely creamy soft yellow jar o' love.
Properly sealed butter will keep a minimum of 3 years. I've heard of them lasting much longer. They are shelf stable and do NOT have to be refrigerated before or after opening.

This is where I got the instructions.
