INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup chopped garlic scapes Note 1
• 1 cup unsalted butter softened
• ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a small food processor, process 1 cup of trimmed and chopped garlic scapes.
• Combined minced scapes with softened butter, lemon juice and salt.
• Roll the butter into a log on parchment paper. Wrap it and refrigerate.
• To freeze: once the log is firm, slice them and wrap them back in parchment paper. Place it in a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

NOTES

Note 1: To prepare the garlic scapes, trim off bulb and top ends of scapes, as they are stringy and tough.
