Country Butter Soft Spread Food

This is a homemade margarine or soft spread 'butter'. While it is not lower in calorie, it has a higher ratio of unsaturated to saturated fat than butter, and unlike margarine, it contains no trans fat. Create a flavored butter by adding garlic or cinnamon, or anything you chose!

A creamy, tasty and budget-stretching butter mixture. At one time my hubby & I had seven children living with us! In an effort to cut expenses I bought a book called Cheaper & Better (Homemade Alternatives To Storebought Goods). This recipe for a soft spread quickly became a family favorite. Tattered and stained, this is the page to which the book still falls open.

This has the taste of butter with the spreadability of soft margarine, the combination of oil and water reduces cholesterol and some of the fat, if desired you can make a large amount and freeze, before you start make certain that the water and butter are at room temperature or you might have trouble mixing the water and oil into the butter.
