Great, but then it would be to a LV lover like me! I omitted the sugar, no need to add to a fine sweet (doux) French butter and also omitted the lemon juice, as I wanted a thicker butter. Everything else was as posted and I will report back with photos and serving ideas later! Made for the ZWT6 GB leg of the journey and also for the Magic of Herbs in the Photo's forum, mercy buckets for this simple recette cg! FT:-)

Loved this! Was looking for recipes to use with the Lemon Verbena I grow in my garden. This is great, perfect on hot biscuits. ZWT6
