Sage, rosemary and thyme for one and parsley, chives and jalapenos for the other. Okay, so jalapenos aren&#8217;t technically an herb, but I was getting guacamole inspired.<\/p>\n<p>The only real rule I followed is an approximate 2:1 ratio &#8211; so I combined 1\/2 cup butter (1 stick) with about 1\/4 cup of finely chopped herbs. You could always increase or decrease the herbs based on your tastes, of course.<\/p>\n<p>The butter should be room temperature or a little warmer (just sit it near the stove for a bit), and you just stir in the chopped herbs with a spoon and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The colder weather means it&#39;s almost the end for my herbs, but #herb #butter is one way to make them last a little longer!
