  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Blackberry Butter

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 3 tablespoons blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare Butter: Begin with room temperature butter to ensure smooth mixing, allowing for easier incorporation of other ingredients.
  2. Mix Butter: Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, mix the butter until it becomes creamy and smooth.
  3. Incorporate Ingredients: For savory or basic butters, add all ingredients except fresh fruits and mix thoroughly. For fruit-based variations, first mix other ingredients, then gradually fold in fruit to preserve texture.
  4. Transfer and Serve: Spoon the prepared butter into a serving vessel such as ramekins or spread directly onto a board for presentation.
  5. Garnish and Pair: Garnish with complementary toppings like extra nuts, herbs, or seeds and serve alongside your favorite breads or crackers.

Notes

  • Use softened butter to ensure smooth and even mixing.
  • Fresh fruits should be added last to maintain texture and prevent bruising.
  • Adjust sweetness or saltiness to taste for personalized flavor.
  • Butter spreads can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Roast garlic for a milder, sweeter garlic butter flavor.
  • Optional red pepper flakes add a spicy kick to garlic butter.
