I make butter with edible flowers and herbs all the time, for the B and B, but I wanted to try this recipe as I have LOADS of rosemary flowers in bloom right now! A super little recipe that I did tweak a bit by adding some grated Italian cheese. We ALL loved this! Made for Recipe swap #86 and thanks for reminding me of how to serve up a pretty butter awalde!
