HERB BUTTER’S

“Excellent For The Holidays”

I had tried mixing herbs in butter while basting a chicken, a turkey, a roast, then I went wild and started mixing herb butters and putting  them on everything.

I like different  herb butters for different meats.  I love Lemon, Garlic, and Rosemary Butter for Chicken.  I love Thyme Butter on my Turkey.  I love Garlic, Rosemary and Bourbon butter on Lamb (all the Alcohol burns off).   I love the flavor of herbs in food.  

Some of the best herbs in butter are:

• Parsley
• Chives
• Lemon Balm
• Savory
• Marjoram
• Garlic Chives
• Tarragon
• Chervil

I use only organic butter as hardeners are not used in the butter.  Organic Butter has a softer melting point.  Don’t be afraid to intermix herbs to your family’s taste.
