A lovely fresh herbed butter (I used fresh parsley and sweet basil from the garden) though didn't add the hot sauce or paprika (otherwise may have had problems with the DM eating) - from a half mix I got just over 1/2 cup (so thing serving size needs to be upped to 1 cup) and I spread some over half a wholegrain baguette and put under the grill/broiler for about 10 minutes to crispt up, delicious as a side to recipe #181365 and recipe #54006

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those.
