  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  Cup           lightly salted butter -- at room temp
   2      Cloves        crushed garlic

In a medium bowl, cream the butter with wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
Add the garlic and blend well. Transfer to a sheet of heavy-duty foil, roll
the foil around the mixture, forming a log 8 inches long by 3/4 inch in
diameter. Tuck in the ends of the foil, label and freeze. Will keep for up
to 2 months. Use to flavor potatoes, bread, other cooked veggies, Rice pasta
and pasta sauces.

I really like to keep these "butters" on hand in the freezer for special
times.  They are especially attractive when company comes, special dinners
or holiday meals. Use to flavor rice and veggies or to spread on bread.  A
1/4" slice equals 1 tsp. a 3/4 " slice equals a Tbsp. I prepare the butter,
place in a decorator tube, (pastry bag or just a plain OLE baggy with the
corner snipped.)  I make my design on a jellyroll pan, cover with plastic
wrap, freeze until hard, place in gallon-sized bags.  Sometimes, I just roll
up into a log and freeze that way.
