Yesterday I made ghee in the oven by cooking sweet butter for 2hrs in the oven at low temp. I filtered the resulting liquid through cheese cloth and let the resulting clear liquid sit overnight.

Today, the ghee has congealed into a solid, as it should. However, on top of it is an oily liquid. I poured some into a glass and added water, and the two liquids don't mix, so it's not water left over from the butter (good news). Still, I'm confused why I don't end up with a uniform material.

Some butter is mixed with sunflower oil in order to make it more spreadable. Have you checked the ingredients list (if there is one) on the butter?

Whatever it is, it is no good.

Since it is congealed, it should be a snap to remove, allowing you to carry on with your life, your mind at rest.
