Nat's always requested Garlic Butter

Nat Da Brat's Note:

This garlic butter is much better than any storebought. Vampires beware...it is a garlic lover's treat! Can easily be frozen in ice cube trays (make sure to plastic wrap the tray, or it will smell up your freezer) or ziplocks.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 lb salted butter (room temp.)
• 4 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
• 8 -10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2. Butter is ready to use right away.
3. Can be stored in fridge for a couple of weeks, but if you don't use much of it, it can be frozen into desired portions.
4. I put this butter on vegetables of all kinds (Asparagus and Broccoli are best).
5. Use to make garlic toast, or garlic bread.
6. Best NOT to store in tupperware, as it is difficult to get the garlic smell out!

We LOVE this garlic butter. Simple ingredients. This recipe was easy to follow. I do not want to change one thing. We will use this forever. Thank You for a great 5 Star Recipe.

Excellent... I'll never buy that frozen garlic bread again!! I sautéd the garlic for just a very few minutes to enhance the flavor, then let it cool before adding it to the butter.

I make a lite variation by using 1 lb. soft margarine (I Can't Believe It's Not Butter), stir it up with 3 cloves of pressed garlic (more if you prefer). Put it's lid back and it's always on hand to use in it's container in the frige, with a big reduction in fat, but not taste. I haven't done so, but I'm sure it can be frozen as in original recipe.
