Ingredients:

  • 12 -18 organic nasturtium petals
  • 2 -4 fresh nasturtium leaves or 2 -4 a few sprigs fresh parsley
  • 3 -4 chives, leaves (optional)
  • 10 -12 large barely open organic common chive blossoms, florets (petal clusters)
  • 2 small sprigs fresh parsley (or 8 or 10 large chive leaves)
  • 1 generous handful of fresh organic edible rose petal (from the fragrant old-fashioned types, such as belle of portugal, any of the rugosa roses and damask)

Directions:

  1. Making any flower butter involves the same process. First, remove the petals from the flowers and wash them well in cold water—check for critters. Gently pat them dry in a towel or dry them in a salad spinner.
  2. Using a very sharp knife, mince the flowers and any leaves. (Mincing is easier if you roll the blossoms into a small ball before cutting them.)
  3. Cut a stick of room-temperature butter into 6 or 8 pieces and then mash them with a fork.
  4. When the butter is fairly soft, slowly incorporate any flavorings and the flowers and leaves.
  5. With a rubber spatula put the mixture into a small butter crock or decorative bowl.
  6. Refrigerate until serving time. Flower butters can be frozen in sealed containers for 2 months.
  7. All three recipes make a little more than 1/2 cup (125g).
