Description
Wondering if you can freeze butter? This dairy ingredient actually holds up extremely well when frozen: here’s how to do it!
Ingredients
- Butter*
Instructions
- If the butter is unopened, leave it in the original packaging and place the butter in a resealable freezer safe plastic bag. If not, wrap the butter in plastic wrap, then place it in a plastic bag.
- Use a permanent marker to label the butter with a “use by” date that is 6 months in the future. Partially seal the plastic bag, then use a straw to suck out all air from the bag.
- Place the butter in the freezer and freeze for up to 6 months. To defrost the butter, place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Do not refreeze the butter.
Notes
*Freeze butter that is as fresh as possible. Do not freeze butter past its expiration date.
