I'm yet to make this but I know it'll be amazing! You stated that it fits into four half pint mason jars, is this for the 1 cup measurement?
Bianca Fernandez says
Hi Shamsa, yay! Ah, I just edited the post to say 1x batch yields 2 cups. A 1x batch was enough to smush the butter into 4 half-pint jars. 🙂
Shamsa says
Thank you for clarifying! I look forward to gifting it to my family soon 🙂
Bianca Fernandez says
