Healthy Butter

Ingredients

• 1 lb butter, softened (2 sticks)
• 1 1/2 cups olive oil (light-tasting see Helpful Hints below)

Directions

1. 1

   In blender, process butter and olive oil until soft, creamy and smooth. Turn out (using a soft spatula) into plastic container with lid and refrigerate until set.

2. 2

   *Helpful Hints: I usually double this recipe as it lasts long in the refrigerator. Choose an olive oil that has no perceptible taste (the green one is stronger tasting), so that it doesn't overpower the taste of the butter. If per chance the olive oil overpowers the butter taste, then use that Healthy Butter for frying and cooking. Now here is the thing: It really depends on your butter, however, the brand that I use now requires 2 sticks of butter and only one cup (250 mL) of olive oil. A little bit of trial and error will find your perfect Healthy Butter Recipe! My family will not do without it!
