Raisin-Nut Butter

1. 1

   In a medium-size bowl, whip 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) until fluffy.

2. 2

   Combine the softened butter and other ingredients (listed below) together until they are completely blended.

3. 3

   The butter must first be brought to room temperature and softened by beating it.

4. 4

   The flavoring ingredients must be very finely chopped or pureed.

5. 5

   If any extra liquid develops, it should be drained off thoroughly before mixing in the butter.

6. 6

   For the flavor to better penetrate the butter, allow it to stand at cool room temperature for a few hours before refrigerating.

7. 7

   Compound butters may be stored in freezer, tightly wrapped.

8. 8

   Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for cutting the frozen butter.

9. 9

   Before refrigerating, you can roll the butter into logs with wax paper; press it into molds to create stars or other shapes; create balls with butter paddles; or simply press it into ramekins for serving.
