Reviews
I’ve been making this butter every year for the holidays for the last three years and everyone seems to absolutely love it! I use salted butter or margarine spread because when the final product is used, it has a nice sweet and savory taste to it. This is great stuff to have if you like the sweet/savory combo on your toast or English muffin!
Its so easy to make and so yummy on a nice hot roll during the holidays.
