Citrus Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Toss 2 bunches of broccolini with olive oil, salt and pepper. Broil until lightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Simmer 1/4 cup orange juice and 1 tablespoon lime juice until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in 4 tablespoons cubed cold butter; season with salt. Spoon over broccolini. Top with chopped chives.

Steps:

• Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the lemon and lime zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and completely mixed.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap out on your workspace. Spread the butter across the plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This will give you a nice clean round of butter to top the fish with. Alternatively, you can leave the butter in a small bowl and dollop the butter on top of the fish once it's grilled.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates with a clean tea towel. Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Top each fillet with a slice of the citrus butter while the fish is still hot so it melts right over the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine first eight ingredients; beat until blended. Shape half of the butter mixture into a log; wrap in plastic and freeze. Place remaining mixture in a microwave-safe bowl; heat 1-2 minutes or until melted., Place fish fillets in an ungreased 13x9-in. baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter mixture. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cut butter log into slices; serve with fish.

Steps:

• Add the oil in a heated small sauce pan. Add the shallots and sauté for one minute.
• Add the Orange juice and white wine and reduce by ¾.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the butter cubes one at a time while whisking the sauce to evenly incorporate the butter; do not allow the sauce to boil as it will break.
• Add the sugar, salt and pepper.
• Stir to combine then strain the sauce through fine mesh strainer.
• Serve hot and Enjoy!

Steps:

• Process cantaloupe and orange sections in batches in a blender until pureed. Transfer to a Dutch oven., Add sugar, lime juice, cinnamon and zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until mixture is reduced to 5 cups and reaches a thick, spreadable consistency, about 2 hours, stirring frequently. Discard cinnamon sticks., Carefully ladle hot mixture into 5 hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight. , Submerge jars in a canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

Steps:

• Make cake layers:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 (8- by 2-inch) round cake pans and dust with flour, knocking out excess.
• Put sugar and zests in a food processor and pulse until blended well, about 30 seconds. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Beat butter in large bowl of standing electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar mixture and beat at high speed 5 minutes. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add one fourth of flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Beat in milk until just blended. Beat in remaining flour mixture alternately with juices in 3 batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
• Divide batter evenly between cake pans and smooth tops. Bake in middle of oven until golden and a tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool layers on racks 5 minutes. Run a thin knife around edges of pans, then invert cakes onto racks to cool completely.
• Make buttercream:
• Heat whites and sugar in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved and a thermometer registers 160°F. Remove bowl from heat and beat mixture in standing electric mixer on medium-high speed until thick, glossy peaks form. If mixture is still warm, continue beating until cool.
• With mixer running, add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Add liqueur and lemon juice, beating on high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 10 minutes. If buttercream begins to separate, beat on high speed until smooth.
• Assemble cake:
• Brush any loose crumbs from layers and put 1 upside down on a serving plate. Spread with about 1 cup buttercream. Place other layer on top, right side up. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining buttercream.

Steps:

• Bring the orange juice to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat.
• Cook until it is reduced and has the consistency of honey.
• Set aside to cool.
• Place in a food processor.
• Add all other ingredients and process until smooth.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper on a work surface.
• Pour the butter onto the long side of the sheet.
• Form the butter into a roll or log about 1" in diameter, leaving a 1" border of paper.
• Roll up and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a small bowl, combine butter, orange zest, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir well to combine. Set the citrus butter aside.
• Peel the carrots and parsnips and cut them lengthwise into long wedges, which that will get a bit browned and crisp at the ends. If I am roasting young carrots small enough to cook whole or halved lengthwise, I like to leave a half inch or so of the greens attached-looks pretty. Parsnips will cook at about the same rate as carrots, so cut them into similar-size pieces.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, toss vegetables with oil; season with 1 teaspoon salt and toss again. Spread the vegetables flat and roast until tender and lightly browned (and more than lightly browned on the thinner edges), tossing halfway through, 20 to 30 minutes. If they seem to be getting too browned before tender, sprinkle them with a little water and keep roasting.
• When vegetables are roasted, place in a warmed dish and spoon the citrus butter on, tossing them gently to melt the butter and coat the roots. Serve warm.
