  • About

Flavored or scented butter is a great way to preserve herbs, edible flowers, and other garden goodness. What I love about making compound butter is that the flavor combinations are endless and the finished product freezes extremely well.

Ingredients

  • ½ lb. (2 sticks or 226 g) salted or unsalted butter
