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.
