Compound Butter-Janet Brocklehurst (Alex’s Aunt)

Use room temp butter & mix in your flavor options (go easy on liquid ingredients, use plenty of salt, & fresh herbs are better than dried)

Roll into a log using parchment paper or wax paper & you can slice off a piece when you’re ready to use it

Label and date it–refrigerate for 2 weeks, freeze for about 3 months

Great on grilled meats, fish, veggies, whatever
