Carrot Butter Challenge

twissis's Note:

It is no secret that flavored butters are a favorite w/me. I have entered several recipes for them, tried many others & even have a cookbook devoted to those I still want to try. I did find 1 other carrot butter recipe, but it was a sweet variety ... so when SusieQusie challenged me to create a savory carrot butter, I was happy to oblige. Enjoy!

Thanks for creating and posting this recipe! I thought the butter was great! DH wasn't wild about the crunch of the carrots as it seemed _unnatural_ for butter to make noise. ;-) I, on the other hand, enjoyed the crunchy texture. So there! Perhaps if I'm feeling friendly the next time I make it, I'll nuke the carrots a bit to soften them before adding to the butter. The butter sets up pretty firm so it does need to soften a bit if you intend to spread it on bread. Again my friend, thanks! LU
