Make It Yourself--flavored Butters Recipe

How to make it

---

• FOR HERB BUTTERS:
• use 1-2T finely chopped fresh herb(dill is okay, dried, the rest, I'd say stick to fresh:parsley, oregano, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, chives, basil, etc)
• FOR SPICE BUTTERS:
• 2-3t depending on taste and spice(ie cayenne, chili, curry, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, etc)
• FOR SWEET BUTTERS:
• 2T honey or
• 1T unsweetened cocoa and 1-2T powdered sugar or
• vanilla with or without above sugar
• NUT BUTTERS:
• 2T finely chopped nuts(ie pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, macadamias, etc)
• SPECIAL BUTTERS:
• "Hotel" Butter is about 1T parsley, a squirt of lemon juice and a touch of fresh ground pepper
• You can add minced onion and garlic for another savory butter
• Also, mix and match the above and add the zest from any citrus fruit to make all kinds of combos...cilantro/chili/lime butter, Orange/Honey butter, as seen on my French Toast recipe ;), lemon/Chive
• **The butters shown above are named with their ingredients, and the "main" photo is cinnamon/honey butter**
