Great herb butter! Just so you guys know, this was in competition with butter from the Amish country, and the kids, and adults, having dinner, kept asking for "Beth's special butter" which was actually Sue L'S ! Definitely delicious and wonderful on fresh breadd - thanks, Sue L! I halved all amounts since I was using dried herbs - a HUGE hit! Wonderful!

I got some fresh herbs from my sister's garden and didn't know what to do with them. So--I searched the ingredients I had, and found this! Boy, is it good on toast. I left out the oregano-personal preference, and "spilled" the rosemary and parsely a little-hehehe. I can't wait to try it on corn. I put it in real butter, but it's a little crumbly now that it's cold again. It's even better after it sits overnight in the fridge and blends a little--I am going to keep making it in advance of serving it. It's a keeper, especially if my sister keeps growing herbs ;-) !

I can't believe, with all the cooking I do, that I've never made herb butter, before!? I tried your recipe, last night, because I had fresh basil and rosemary; I subbed 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, and 1 tsp. dried parsley, for the fresh. I also took your suggestion, and used reduced-fat margarine (as I was out of butter!) We had it, lightly broiled, on slices of french bread, and loved it! Thanks!
