Make Your Own Chive Blossom Butter Food

MAKE CHIVE BUTTER TO USE IN A VARIETY OF RECIPES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, mash butter with a potato masher or just squish with hands. You can even cream butter using paddle attachment of a stand mixer-the goal is to get the butter soft enough to be able to incorporate chives.
• Add chopped chives and continue mashing/squishing/mixing butter until fully mixed.
• Spread out a large (1-foot or bigger) square of plastic wrap across work surface, then scoop mixed butter onto plastic. You are now going to roll the butter into a cylinder inside the plastic wrap
• Tie excess plastic wrap at ends of the cylinder into a knot, or just use little pieces of string to tie off the ends. You can even make a string out of a short section of plastic wrap and roll it into a little rope.
• Chill or freeze until needed.
