Compound Butter, a mixture of quality butter with tasty additions like herbs and truffles, is an easy yet sophisticated way to add great flavor to a dish.
1lbunsalted butteryou can use salted butter and reduce the added salt
1pintmorels

1teaspoonsea saltor to taste (reduce if using salted butter)
Instructions
Clean mushrooms and ramps well, then chop coarsely. Saute in about ½ cup of butter until tender. Transfer to blender and pulse until pieces are minced--finer mincing will yield a creamier butter. Let cool to room temperature
Combine with remaining butter and salt to taste.
Place on waxed paper and roll into a log. Or place a heaping spoonful into the wells of mini-muffin cups. Freeze if wanted for longer term usage.
Notes
If you are using a commercial butter, try to use a higher end butter like Kerry Gold, or Vermont Creamery.
