Orange Butter

Homemade butter.  Could there be anything more divine?  Sigh.  Okay okay, I'll get a hold of myself.  But it won't be easy!  This stuff is so good.  It leaves a happy citrussy tingle on your tongue and goes oh so magnificently if I do say so myself on French bread.  Plus, it has this slight orange color going for it, which makes it pretty and girly.  And I'm okay with that. =)

Orange Butter

Ingredients You'll Need:

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 tablespoon orange juice(juice of one orange. Roughly 2 Tbps)
• 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
• 1 ½ to 2 tsp powdered sugar. (taste for sweetness)

Directions:

• In a medium bowl combine all ingredients.  Blend well.

Keep in mind that it will set back up, so you can take this opportunity to put it in a mold of your choice and have little molded butters for your afternoon tea/coffee, special occassions.  I did this but the molding didn't turn out so well so I'm going to be hunting for cutsie candy molds in the near future!  I'll share once I have a mold I'm proud of =D  I hope you enjoy this recipe!
