  1. Yes, It is really good, but expensive. I plan to keep a good stock of it anyway, just in case I have a problem with my home canned stuff. I haven't really put the home canned version to the test yet, but I remain very hopeful that it will be good for a long time. Also, I recently learned how to dry can, and I have canned Oreos, crackers and Fritos. It seems to work well. I fill sterilized jars with whatever I'm canning and put a lid and a screw band on very loosely. I put the jars on a cookie sheet that is covered with a towel and turn the oven to 230 degrees. When the oven reaches that temp. I start timing 30 min. for quart jars. After 30 min. I take the jars out and screw the bands tight. They will seal in a few minutes. The jars have to be bone dry before filling.
  2. canning butter is considered unsafe because of the risk of botulism. Even so, I have some on hand. I think it would be better to process it in a water bath. I also have the commercially canned butter as well.
