"This recipe is great to rub under the skin of a Thanksgiving turkey, and also delicious stirred into hot cooked grits or mashed potatoes, melted over steamed broccoli or grilled asparagus. Also good over beef tenderloin. Total time does not include cooling time."

I don't think I've ever made Bearnise butter before, but this was nice! I will use with cooked snow peas over rice. Thanks! Made for ZWT-France 2012 by a Herbaceous Curvaceous Honey!
