This garlic butter is much better than any storebought. Vampires beware...it is a garlic lover's treat! Can easily be frozen in ice cube trays (make sure to plastic wrap the tray, or it will smell up your freezer) or ziplocks.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb salted butter (room temp.)
4 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
8-10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions

1
Mix all the ingredients together.
2
Butter is ready to use right away.
3
Can be stored in fridge for a couple of weeks, but if you don't use much of it, it can be frozen into desired portions.
4
I put this butter on vegetables of all kinds (Asparagus and Broccoli are best).
5
Use to make garlic toast, or garlic bread.
6
Best NOT to store in tupperware, as it is difficult to get the garlic smell out!

Fantastic! I used this on party bread, topped with cheese and broiled until melted for an appetizer recently and I couldn't keep them coming fast enough! Everyone loved it! I think this would also be great spead on top of a cuban sandwich before pressing it...yummy!

Excellent... I'll never buy that frozen garlic bread again!! I sautéd the garlic for just a very few minutes to enhance the flavor, then let it cool before adding it to the butter.

Very good recipe, but beware the garlic potency. Probably could use 2/3 of the recommended amount. That said and I LOVE garlic! Just a bit much, but fantastic for bread, asparagus, even melted for dipping with a filet mignon!
