Ghee: Melt 1 pound of unsalted butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat. Let it simmer very gently for 10-30 minutes, depending upon the water content of the butter. As soon as the white, milky residue turns to golden particles (watch carefully), strain the ghee through several layers of cheesecloth. Cool, then pour into a clean, sanitized jar and cover. Properly made ghee does not neet refrigeration.
