    • 1 tsp minced fresh thyme leaves

    Instructions


    1. Put the softened butter in a small bowl and whisk in the orange zest and juice. Add rosemary, sage, thyme, salt (if using) and several grinds of black pepper. Cover and refrigerate. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before using.
