Tested

"I haven't made this recipe as yet, looking forward to it after reading the comments here, but I have had the same problem with a similar recipe, and I think that is was because I over cooked it. The recipe said simmer for 40-50 minutes, at which point pretty much all the liquid will have evaporated, this happened in about 20 (heat too high), and so I reduced the heat and continued to cook it. About 5/10 minutes after that, there seemed to be a lot of oil in the pan that hadn't been there before, when I was finished cooking, I drained it, but still ended up with solidified butter in the bottom of my jar - might not be the reason, but that's what I put mine down to."
