I wonder if its possible to make ghee from shop bought cream without the need to make butter first?
I never realised that in India they all boil their milk everyday because its not pasteurised.
Not something we have to do anymore in the uk, so not much call for boiling milk daily. (cant stand the smell myself anyway)

But if you were to buy full fat and then skim the cream and save it like in India, how long would the skimmed milk last?

Sounds like a money saving tip to me.  ;D
Buy full fat milk, make your skimmed milk and get your butter or ghee for free.

Or do what I used to do in Canada; let your Canadian girlfriend buy skim(med) milk, buy some 18% butterfat cream, add the cream to the skim(med) milk and end up with something drinkable rather than something disgusting with absolutely no flavour at all !

I say skimmed, but it would probably be closer to semi skimmed i would think? And even thats a step too far for me.

Only gold top here, Sir : Jersey/Guernsey/C.I. milk, unless I go for one of the ultra-filtered options in which case 4% seems to be the highest BF content available ...
