Flavored butter logs are a great way to impart tropical flavors into your favorite dishes. They also make unique homemade gifts any time of the year. Try Lime Chive Butter on chicken, pork chops, veal or drizzled over fish. Smokey Pineapple Butter is an excellent compliment to lobster, shrimp, scallops and other seafood.
