Blue Cheese Seasoned Butter
Blue Cheese Seasoned Butter
This seasoned butter is strongly flavored and works well on beef and green beans. It probably works on other strongly flavored meats and vegetables too, I just haven’t tried it yet. It will keep several weeks in the refrigerator.

Barrels of flavored butter were made with garlic in Scotland and Ireland in the 1700s and stored in the bogs at that time. The longer the butter stayed underground the better it was so trees were planted to mark the spots where the butter was buried. The peat bogs kept the butter safe because of the cold and antiseptic properties of the bogs.
