Recipe – Garlic and herb butter

This recipe is a classic. It’s really simple to make but it tastes ten times better than store bought garlic butter. The herbs are growing in my garden and garlic is something I always have laying around so I make this butter often. I never use a lot of garlic because I don’t want it to dominate the taste, but you can adapt the recipe if you want to.
