Ramps are a delightful vegetable that make a short appearance in the spring. Think of ramps to be like a green onion by their look and garlic clove by their taste if they were combined. They are delicious and impactful with their flavor. A great way to preserve their existence is by putting them in butter. This is a quick and easy butter recipe to make and great to have on hand to sauté with or top on a piece of bread.

4 ramps

1 stick of unsalted butter brought to room temperature

Salt to taste

Finely slice the ramps. Combine them with the softened butter in a bowl, mix in a few dashes of salt. I found using a wooden spoon works as the fastest way to combine ingredients.

Take a clear piece of plastic wrap about 6 inches long and place the ramp butter on it near the edge of one side. Start to roll the butter to combine together in a log form. Once you have rolled all of the plastic you should have long sides to help roll the butter into a tighter log. Watch this video to see it done!

Refrigerate till ready to use. Placing a bit on top of toast is one of my favorite ways to enjoy this butter!
