Ingredients
RAISIN WALNUT
  • ¼ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup somewhat finely chopped walnuts
  • ⅛ cup chopped raisins
  • juice and zest of 1 small orange
  • ½ tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon hazelnut extract (optional)
SWEET CITRUS (my fave!)
  • ¼ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup honey
  • zest and juice of 1 small orange
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Leave butter out in a bowl until softened.
  2. Add all flavor ingredients and blend with a hand mixer until whipped and light.
  3. Refrigerate for a couple hours (ideally) to allow flavors to fully develop.
  4. ***And don't forget to brown butter these babies for extra flavorful sauces. The sweet citrus is especially divine for this purpose ;)
