Ingredients
- 2-3 Jalapeno peppers depending on the heat level of the peppers, and your tolerance for heat
- 1 cup salted butter at room temperature
Instructions
- Remove the stems and give the peppers a rough chop. Add them, seeds and all, to the bowl of a small food processor and pulse/process until they're finely chopped. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the butter to the processor and run until the butter and peppers are completely smooth and combined. Scrape down sides again as needed.
- You can store the butter in a small tub or you can turn it out onto plastic wrap and form it into a log shape. Wrap it in the plastic and twist the ends to secure. This way you can slice it.
- Use your butter right away or refrigerate until needed.
- Makes 1 cup
Cup of Yum
Notes
- The heat of hot peppers is concentrated in the seeds and veins, so I use these in my butter, along with the green flesh. If you want less heat in your butter, remove them first.
