Recipe Tips.

The better the quality of the butter, the better the butter spread will taste.
Knowing how to soften butter quickly and how to zest citrus will help make this recipe whip together smoothly.
Taste the mixture before storing to ensure the salt and sweetness are balanced to your liking.
For a similar texture, you can use finely chopped dried cherries or dried blueberries.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes to make it easier to spread.
