Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and mash them together with a fork until well-combined.
  • Spoon mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, form it into a log, and wrap. Twist the ends to secure them. Alternatively, you can add to a small, freezer safe canning jar. Freeze for at least 1 hour before using.
  • Remove from freezer and set on counter a half hour before serving to soften enough to slice.
  • Slice a pat of the butter and place on hot food of your choice (it's great on sous vide salmon or sous vide steak) to melt.

Notes

Butter can be frozen for up to 6 months.
