Recipe instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Wrap the oregano in a small piece of cheesecloth. Tie the sachet with cotton string, and set in the butter.
  3. Simmer until the butter separates into a clear, golden liquid and a milky sediment, 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. Carefully pour off the golden liquid (clarified butter), and strain through a piece of clean, fine muslin.
  5. Discard the milky sediment and oregano sachet.
  6. Transfer to a hot sterilized glass jar.
  7. Add the salt and mix until dissolved.
  8. Cover and let stand in a cool place until the mixture becomes pungent, 1 to 2 weeks.
  9. Drain any liquid from the jar and refrigerate the butter.
  10. Use within 6 months.
