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).
