Berry Butter
"Delicious raspberry and blackberry flavored butter for use on sweet breads, pancakes, waffles. You can substitute other berries and rather than forming rosettes with a pastry bag, use a butter mold. Extra rosettes or molds can be frozen individually on a cookie sheet, then kept in a covered airtight container in the freezer. Cook time is chill time."

Really quite wonderful! This has a beautiful color from the berries and an excellent flavor. I used to eat a similar berry butter butter at a breakfast place in my home town - they also made a blueberry lemon version as well as an orange honey flavor. I have been wanting to duplicate their butter for years and have finally succeeded with this recipe. Thanks! -
Mmmmm! So easy, So good. Only one problem, we cant stop eating it! I am getting requests for it from my co-workers for our morning bagels. Thanks!

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving.
I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey.
Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
