Each year I throw a tea for Mother's Day. I like to keep the menu different from year-to-year, so I'm always looking for new ideas. Scones are a staple of any proper tea. I love lemon curd, but it's nice to have a few other toppings. This year I made flavored butters. It's so easy and adds wonderful texture and flavor. It's also delicious on toast and bagels.
Here's what you'll need:
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temp
1/2 c pecans, finely chopped
1/2 c dried cranberries, finely chopped
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until thoroughly blended, making sure ALL the butter has either a fruit or nut in it.
The butter can be used immediately or stored in the fridge, tightly covered, for up to a month. Just bring it to room temp before using.
Enjoy!
