How To Make Basil Butter Food

I make this tasty butter during the growing season and often freeze for later use. When veggies are sauteed in the herb-butter, the basil tastes as fresh as if it just came out of the garden. -Emily Chaney, Penobscot, Maine

This butter is wonderful on corn on the cob and French bread. I make this all summer long, while my basil is growing in the garden.

This stuff is great for just about anything! For a fancy presentation, use an ice cream scoop or melon baller to form the butter into balls. You can make plenty of this when basil is in season and store it for later use in the freezer. If you don't have a food processor, use your blender. Cook time is freeze time.
