Notes
* You can substitute ground herbs for fresh if you prefer. However, they are much more concentrated so use only 1/2 - 1 teaspoon to start. Taste test and add more as you like.
* The remaining butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. You can also freeze the butter in ice cube trays. They will freeze solid in under 2 hours. Then transfer the cubes to an air tight container. Keep in freezer for 4-6 months.
* The nutrition information is only for two tablespoons of basil butter which is used in this recipe. The remainder is for use with other future meal.
