Homemade Blueberry Compound Butter Recipe 465

Steps:

• Place the heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. If you have a splash guard , place it on the bowl and cover the opening with plastic wrap. If you don't, you'll want to cover from the top of the bowl to the upper part of the mixer with plastic wrap. Whisk on medium-high for about 15 minutes. You'll see soft peaks, then whipped cream, then eventually after 10 to 13 minutes, the cream should start to break down, turn yellow and separate from the buttermilk. The butter is ready when there is a substantial amount of liquid (buttermilk) in the bowl and the butter pieces have started to come together. Drain the contents of the bowl in a colander. Press the butter into the colander to get rid of any excess buttermilk. Form the butter into a ball with your hands and rinse off with cold water to get rid of any buttermilk on the exterior of the butter. Split the butter in two even chunks and place in separate bowls. For the salted butter, add the desired amount of salt and work into the butter with either your hands or a fork until combined. Roll the butter into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap to store. For the blueberry lavender honey butter, add all the ingredients to the bowl with the butter and mash together with a fork until well incorporated. Roll the butter into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap to store.

Steps:

• Chop the butter into uniform chunks using the dough scraper.
• Place the oil into the food processor and add the chives. Process until the chives are finely chopped. Add the remaining herbs and blend until the herbs have colored the oil. Using the whisk attachment, whip the butter in the mixer?s work bowl at medium speed until it softens and lightens in color, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the herb oil to the butter and beat for another 2 minutes until oil is fully incorporated. Remove butter from bowl and spoon onto parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll into a log, using the edge of a baking sheet to form a tight log. Chill for 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl with a flexible spatula until well combined.
• Place butter mixture on the center of a sheet of parchment paper, then loosely fold paper in half toward you and roll back and forth to form butter into a log. Then, while pulling parchment taut, push with a straightedge (such as the rim of a baking sheet) to mold into a neat cylinder, pressing hard to remove any air pockets. Wrap parchment around butter, then twist end to seal and tie with twine.
• Refrigerate until firm, about an hour.

Steps:

• Wash the berries and let them dry on a paper towel.
• Allow the butter to come to room temperature so it will soften.
• Slightly mash the berries.
• Combine all the ingredients and refrigerate.
