03 - Add all non-fruit ingredients for each compound butter variation and mix thoroughly.
04 - For fruit-based butters, gently fold in the fruit to avoid excessive breaking and bleeding.
05 - Spoon the finished butter into ramekins or spread directly on a serving board as desired.
06 - Garnish with additional seeds, herbs, or nuts to complement each variation. Present with freshly sliced bread or an assortment of crisps.

# Extra Tips:
