Lime-Basil Butter




Source of Recipe


Internet


Recipe Introduction


This tangy herbal spread makes a perfect accompaniment for corn on the
cob, green peas, string beans or other sweet, mild-flavored vegetables.



List of Ingredients




4 tablespoons well-softened butter or margarine
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice (approximately 1 large wedge)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh basil


Recipe



Mix together the butter, lime juice and basil with a fork or whisk.

Refrigerate for several hours or overnight so that the butter
re-solidifies and the flavors can blend together. (If you're in a hurry,
you can put the butter in the freezer for 20-30 minutes instead, but the
basil flavor will not be as intense.)

Note: Once you've mixed the lime juice with the butter, it will soften
more quickly than undiluted butter.
