Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb unsalted butter (pasteurized or unpasteurized)
2 tsp dried oregano leaves
1 tbsp sea salt

Directions:

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