Ramp Butter!

-1 BIG bunch Ramps (4- 6 oz)      

- 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, cubed (8 oz)

- 1 tsp Kosher Salt

Add lemon juice and zest if you like 

Directions

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl halfway with ice water. Toss the ramps into the boiling water and cook 30 seconds to blanch. Working quickly, dunk the ramps in the ice water to halt the cooking. Drain the ramps and then pat them dry. In a food processor, pulse the ramps, butter, and salt (and lemon if using) until well combined. Divide the butter in half and place each blob on a sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper. Wrap the butter in the wrap, rolling and shaping the butter into a log. Place in a resealable plastic bag and freeze. Slice off rounds of butter as needed. Freezes well in glass jars too!
