HOLY GARLIC PART DUO - THE HARVEST


35 glorious heads of garlic is what the harvest yielded.  Now what to do with it all ?  well you know I'm a fan of garlic , and it's flavor is unsurpassed. The following is recipe for HERB BUTTER is one I've used for years.  This butter enhances anything you can put it on.  So try it! you'll be hooked.  Buying the fresh herbs may be pricey, so share the cost of the  fresh herbs with a friend.  Or do what I do grow the herbs yourself.  This recipe freezes well.
