CHIPOTLE BUTTER
In a small bowl, mix softened butter and 2 teaspoons chipotle peppers (with seeds removed). Mix well. Add lime zest, lime juice, and the remaining 2 teaspoons chipotle in adobe sauce. Add salt to taste. Roll into a log, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm. When ready to give, cut into disks and package in an attractive container.
ITALIAN BUTTER
In a small bowl, mix all ingredients until thoroughly blended. Roll into a log, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm. When ready to give, cut into disks and package in an attractive container.
RASPBERRY BUTTER
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Raspberries will become juicy, so press butter mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve to remove as much juice as possible. Transfer to an attractive gift container and refrigerate. Give as soon as possible.
ORANGE BUTTER
In a small bowl, mix both ingredients well. Transfer to an attractive container and refrigerate.
TIP: An excellent source for small, attractive, and affordable glass dishes is your local thrift store. Place butter-filled dish on a large square of clear cellophane, pull up corners, tie with a pretty ribbon, and you have an easy and low-cost gift of friendship.
