With summer quickly waning, the herbs in our garden are throwing up one last hurrah by showing off with delicate, colorful blooms. I thought it might be nice to use them in some way and making herb butter came immediately to mind.

Making this tasty treat couldn’t be easier – simply add your favorite chopped herb along with a dash of salt to room temperature butter. I used oregano here but thyme, rosemary or even lavender would be great. It might be interesting to sweeten the butter with honey before adding the herbs. I bet the contrast of sweet and savory would be wonderful.
