PIN IT!!

Since the weather is warm my butter was soft in just a couple of hours.  If you forget to do this DO NOT microwave it and melt the butter!  You don’t want to melt the butter.  Just let it set out and soften up on it’s own. Unless of course you want to melt it then put it back in the fridge to harden up some. I would just let it set out. 

We make many different butters. This one is a easy garlic butter that can be thrown together in minutes.  It just uses minced up  garlic and dried herbs. We mince the garlic pretty small for this recipe since we use it as a spread. Not like we do in our Garlic Herb Steak Butter. Here we smash the garlic and leave it in larger chunks.

Normally we use fresh but this recipes came about one night when we were making a grilled cheese and this butter adds so much flavor to grilled cheese sandwiches. Just a little smear will do ya! Adjust the herbs as you like them. Taste as you go along.
