Submitted by Debbwl

I made the sweet ginger version. It was awesome, quick, easy and delicious. I will be making this again and again, kept looking for it after it was all gone. I served it with hot buttermilk biscuits. Yum, I can still taste it. Thanks for sharing Deb.

I do love compound butters. Yesterday I made a big batch of bran muffins and Sweet Ginger Butter from this recipe. What a marvelous combo they made. So much so that it was really hard to stop at 2 muffins! Looking forward to trying the berry butter also. :D
