CANTALOUPE BUTTER



Cantaloupe Butter image

This is the way my Gramdmother made Cantaloupe Butter. She used the cooked Canaloupe and mixed it into fresh churned butter. I remember she added maybe three tablespoons of the cooked Cantaloupe to one pound of butter. I love this on hot bread. I just use quality store bought butter to make mine.

HONEY-CITRUS BUTTER



Honey-Citrus Butter image

This is quite a bit different from other honey orange butter recipes here; it calls for the juice to be cooked down into a syrup. Adapted from Sam Choy's Polynesian Kitchen. My preference is to use salted butter for more even salt distribution. Prep time is time to prepare the orange syrup; cook time includes chill time.

I have no idea what I will use this on, but it sounds too good not to share. In my cookbook it says you can refigerate 1 week or freeze for 6 weeks. It says to place it on a chicken breast or fish fillet hot off the grill. Servings and Prep time are a guess. **Chill time not included in cook time.
