Notes

**To Store - Keep your flavored butter in an airtight container or glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you want to make a larger batch, you can freeze it for up to 3 months—just slice off what you need and let it soften before using.
**Tips and Variations:
  • Try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for a cozy, spiced version.
  • Swap pecans for walnuts or hazelnuts if you prefer a different flavor.
  • For a savory twist, skip the maple syrup and add a little honey and sea salt instead.
