You may be asking yourself ‘what in the world is a Compound Butter?’ right about now…
Basically, it’s butter with a bit of savory or sweet added in – most any combination will work. They’re SO simple to make but will give your table that little extra ‘something’. You’ll totally WOW all of your guests with a lovely array of beautiful and delicious compound butters.
For our Blogger Thanksgiving 2014, I used Basil-Garlic and Orange-Honey Compound Butters.
In years past, I’ve also made Pumpkin-Lime and Cranberry-Orange and Roasted Garlic Herb Butter combinations too! Mmmm mmm.

I have never made flavored butters before, but I need to start. I loved both of these, but the orange one was my favorite. Who knew something so simple could be so yummy? 🙂
They are so yummy… and so beautiful too! Try them this year 🙂 xoxo~ Ruthie
