Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons lime zest
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 pinch salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature until softened (about 20-30 minutes).

Step 2

In the meantime, zest two teaspoons from a fresh lime and juice the lime to get one tablespoon of juice. Set both aside.

Step 3

Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and grate it using a microplane or the smallest holes on a box grater to produce one teaspoon of fine ginger pulp.

Step 4

Once the butter is softened, place it in a small mixing bowl. Add the lime zest, lime juice, grated ginger, honey, and a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 5

Using a fork, mash and mix all the ingredients together until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log or any desired form. Twist the ends of the parchment or wrap to seal it tightly.

Step 7

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to solidify.

Step 8

When ready to use, slice or scoop the Lime Ginger Butter and serve as needed. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
