Maple Pepper Butter And Glaze
This recipe is one of those recipes that can open your mind to the many different ways that you can take something simple and make anything and everything amazing. I added this butter recipe to some spaghetti squash and it was a perfect blend of a hint of sweetness to enhance the buttery goodness of the squash. Please use this recipe to open the gates of what you can put it on. It is a perfect balance of sweet and a little lemon. You'll eat the butter straight and that's ok, mainly because I did it and that's what I tell myself so I tell you it's ok too!
