Ramp Butter

Total Time Prep: 10 min. + chilling
Yield 2 cups
Ramps are available for a short period during the spring. Use both the white and green part when making ramp butter, as you would a green onion. If you aren't able to find ramps, substitute green onions or chives. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces ramps (bulbs and greens, about 15 medium)
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Add ramps; cook, uncovered, just until ramps turn bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat dry.
  2. Finely chop ramps (bulb and greens). In a small bowl, beat butter, ramps and salt until blended. Shape into a log; wrap and refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to several months.
