Compound Butter
This easy compound butter with fresh herbs is my secret weapon to the most perfectly flavored recipes. Everyone will be raving how good it tastes. Only you need to know how easy it is to make.
Now that winter is over and spring has begun. You can add a punch of flavor to all kinds of dishes. All you need is some butter and the herbs from your garden.
You can also freeze this when herbs are fresh and enjoy them a month or two later. This compound butter goes with almost anything you can put it on beef, chicken,pork and man is it fantastic on warm bread from the oven. Also the herbs and such you add to the butter can be endless combinations. Mix it up use whatever you have in your garden.

Compound Butter
Ingredients:
1 cup butter softened
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley chives taragon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
In a medium bowl place butter and herbs. Mix thoroughly. Transfer mixture to a sheet of plastic or wax paper. Shape the mixture into a log, and roll up tightly. Twist both ends. Freeze until firm. It will keep for up to 6 months. When needed slice and serve with bread, baked potato, steak, pasta, steamed vegetables and grilled seafood.
Peace be with you,

Nice recipe! Love making different compound butters. Fresh herbs from the garden make it so easy to always have this on hand. Room in the freezer helps too.

Thanks Vonnie,
I kinda forgot about tasty herb flavored butters! They are nice to have huh? Do you think dried herbs work as well as fresh cut? Happy day to you!
Can I use my own freshly garden dried herbs ?
