The following recipe makes a great butter to serve with hot biscuits or cornbread. This would also make an excellent side to give with a loaf of homemade bread for Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day or Birthdays. You can make this butter up in advance and freeze until you are ready to serve it or give as a gift.

If you decide to freeze some of the butter, be sure and portion it out to the size you would like before freezing. That way you can thaw out just the portion you need - do not try to freeze- thaw and refreeze. Be sure and use real Butter, not margarine.
