1 cup softened butter
3 tablespoon pomegranate seeds
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon chopped almonds
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Cinnamon Butter

1 cup softened butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Blackberry Butter

1 cup softened butter
3 tablespoon blackberries
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Chive Butter

1 cup softened butter
2-3 tablespoons chopped chives
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon rosemary
¼ teaspoon thyme
¼ teaspoon basil
? teaspoon cracked black pepper
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Garlic Butter

1 cup softened butter
2-3 cloves roasted garlic
1 tablespoon chopped basil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Optional: 1-2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

Soften your butter slightly so it is able to be worked with.
Beat your butter in your stand mixer or with your egg beaters in a bowl. Continue until a creamy consistency is achieved.
Add in all other ingredients EXCEPT fruits if using a fruit recipe. (See notes!)
Beat to mix in the new ingredients.
Fruit recipes: Add in your fruit a little at a time, mixing it in with your rubber scraper OR add in with the mixer to change the color of the butter too.
Display on your board(s) and/or in your ramekins.
Optional: add appropriate garnish to the tops! Serve with your choice of bread.

Notes

If using salted butter, you may want to add just a pinch of sea salt on top for garnish instead of adding it. This is up to your taste preference!
Blackberry note: muddle and drain off excess liquid before adding it to the mixer.
Optional: Garnish the tops with some of the ingredients used.
Label each butter with a small sign and have a spreading knife in it or next to it.
Make it in advance! Store each butter in a freezer-safe container in the freezer. Pull it out the day of the gathering and allow it to warm to room temperature!
Do not serve honey to children under one year of age.
