I don’t know about you, but I love butter… errrr GOOD butter. Creamy, light yellow, sweet with a slight salty finish. YUM! I enjoy making my own butter but haven’t done that in a while – I’ve committed my time to other pursuits, sigh. Maybe I’ll make time again soon to whip up a batch of my own from some local, raw milk. With this recipe it doesn’t matter if you use high-quality store bought butter or make yours from scratch, it’s an enticingly tempting spread that is sure to delight your family and friends. Added bonus – it’s full of fragrant, health-building herbs.
Instructions:
Go out into your garden and harvest some chive blossoms and other herbs, peel a few cloves of garlic (can you ever have too much garlic) and bring your butter to room temperature.
