Homemade Soft Butter Spread Recipes

This is a homemade margarine or soft spread 'butter'. While it is not lower in calorie, it has a higher ratio of unsaturated to saturated fat than butter, and unlike margarine, it contains no trans fat. Create a flavored butter by adding garlic or cinnamon, or anything you chose!

This has the taste of butter with the spreadability of soft margarine, the combination of oil and water reduces cholesterol and some of the fat, if desired you can make a large amount and freeze, before you start make certain that the water and butter are at room temperature or you might have trouble mixing the water and oil into the butter.

A creamy, tasty and budget-stretching butter mixture. At one time my hubby & I had seven children living with us! In an effort to cut expenses I bought a book called Cheaper & Better (Homemade Alternatives To Storebought Goods). This recipe for a soft spread quickly became a family favorite. Tattered and stained, this is the page to which the book still falls open.

Nutrition Facts :

This recipe is for butter that is easy to spread straight from the refrigerator. It is similar to the spreadable real butter spreads you find in the grocery store - only it's much less expensive. It contains less saturated fat than butter. What I like best about this recipe is that I can use my favorite unsalted, organic, cultured butter. For the oil, I like to use an expeller pressed safflower oil with added vitamin E. It has a very mild flavor. Sometimes, I also like to use an 80% canola 20% olive commercial blend for the oil. 100% Olive oil can be used, but the finished product tastes strongly of olive oil. I like how this butter works in sautes, too. Due to the addition of the oil, it doesn't burn as easily as straight butter does. The butter will become very soft (almost runny) if left out of the fridge. Be sure to return it straight to the cooler when you are finished with it.
