NASTURTIUM BUTTER
4 ounces unsalted organic butter, room temperature (1 stick)
12 -18 organic nasturtium petals
2 -4 fresh nasturtium leaves or 2 -4 a few sprigs fresh parsley
3 -4 chives, leaves (optional)
Chive Blossom Butter
4 ounces unsalted organic butter, room temperature (1 stick)
10 -12 large barely open organic common chive blossoms, florets (petal clusters)
2 small sprigs fresh parsley (or 8 or 10 large chive leaves)
Rose Butter
4 ounces unsalted organic butter, room temperature (1 stick)
1 teaspoon superfine sugar (sometimes called baker's sugar) or 1 teaspoon finely granulated sugar (sometimes called baker's sugar)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 generous handful of fresh organic edible rose petal (from the fragrant old-fashioned types, such as Belle of Portugal, any of the rugosa roses and damask)

1
Making any flower butter involves the same process. First, remove the petals from the flowers and wash them well in cold water-check for critters. Gently pat them dry in a towel or dry them in a salad spinner.
2
Using a very sharp knife, mince the flowers and any leaves. (Mincing is easier if you roll the blossoms into a small ball before cutting them.)
3
Cut a stick of room-temperature butter into 6 or 8 pieces and then mash them with a fork.
4
When the butter is fairly soft, slowly incorporate any flavorings and the flowers and leaves.
5
With a rubber spatula put the mixture into a small butter crock or decorative bowl.
6
Refrigerate until serving time. Flower butters can be frozen in sealed containers for 2 months.
7
All three recipes make a little more than 1/2 cup (125g).

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
