Get ready to enjoy this delicious sweet and savory compound butter, Jalapeño Lime Butter!
Do you grow Jalapeños in the garden? If so, this Jalapeño Lime Butter is one of the best ways to use some of those peppers up!
One summer, we planted Jalapeños and we literally had huge buckets of them. We are pretty low key when it comes to spicy foods, so we were giving them to everyone we knew because we had so many.
We learned our lesson about how well those grow, they are pretty simple to grow and easy to find in the summer months at the Farmer’s Market too.
