I’m not sure what to call this stuff. My post the other day about eating real food caused me to reflect on what we spread on bread. Traditionally, we don’t use butter in my house. I don’t buy margarine either, but I do buy butter spreads- our favorite being Brummel & Brown. So we use this spreadable stuff on bread, pancakes, waffles, toast, and things of that nature. The appeal of the spreads is that they are spreadable right out of the fridge- cold butter is not. But have you ever read the label of a butter spread? Yeah… more of those chemicals and stabilizers and things we cannot pronounce and wonder if we should be eating.
So last summer, while at my aunt and uncle’s house celebrating Independence Day, I learned very easily how to make my own spread, but then completely forgot about it until the other day. Then, of course, that led to me asking Andy if he remembered the proportions, and a message had to be sent to find that all out.
Easy as pie. You only need two ingredients. A stick of real butter and 3 fluid ounces of the oil of your choice. Choose a heart healthy oil, such as canola, olive, peanut, sunflower or safflower oil. Personally, I prefer a neutral tasting oil as well- canola and peanut work well there. Olive oil is good, but a nicely flavored olive oil just doesn’t taste as well to me spread on toast and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. But use olive oil if you prefer. I’m using peanut today.
Let the butter soften to room temperature. Once it’s very soft, put it in a mixing bowl along with the oil. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to blend the two together. Your mixture will look like unset pudding. This is exactly the consistency you are looking for.
Then you simply pour it into a resealable container and pop it in the fridge. The spread will set up a bit once chilled, but it’s completely spreadable cold and out of the fridge. Perfect for using anytime a smear of butter is called for.
If you want to make it in a larger quantity, use two sticks of butter (1 cup) to 3/4 cup of oil. And of course, you can also use this as a platform for a multitude of other uses. Use these proportions and add garlic and herbs for an instant spread for garlic bread. Really, creatively speaking, you could probably mix in just about anything to customize your own delicious spreads straight out of the fridge. Just keep in mind that fresh foods, like fruit bits, fresh garlic and herbs will shorten the shelf life to about a week. But I imagine they could be frozen for long term storage.
Homemade spreadable butter. It’s an excellent thing and a great budget stretcher.

great idea! I personally won’t touch any “buttery spreads” from the grocery store, so this is a nice compromise. I also wonder how it would work if you cut the butter with a little plain yogurt?

Great idea- I have to try this- I hate the thought of whats in those spreads! Thanks…………………

I have to add that last night I watched Alton Brown do a show on different oils… Adding different flavored oils to the butter would be a different way to add new flavors. I could totally see having a whole line of different butters going in the fridge and freezer.
And yes, knowing what is in your food is priceless! Josie, I don’t see why you couldn’t add yogurt… the only thing that would concern me there is that the yogurt would reduce the shelf life of your butter- I would want to use it up within a few weeks then.

The technology trends that will transform our world this year
Published: 22:00 GMT, 5 January 2013 | Updated: 08:30 GMT, 8 February 2013

This Christmas, tablet computers went mainstream.
No more are they an easy way to spot spoilt teenagers, preening early adopters and
desperate parents who would pay ANYTHING for a gadget that could silence their squalling brood with tranquillising doses of Spongebob and Angry Birds Star Wars.
In fact, it’s predicted that 7in tablets will account
for one-third of the tablet market this year, as sub-£200 machines tempt non-nerds into the exciting new techno-wonderland of looking
up things on the internet while watching TV.
Apple’s iPad Mini is expected to rule the roost, despite Google and Amazon nipping at its heels
Apple’s iPad Mini is expected to rule the roost, despite Google and Amazon nipping
at its heels, and – please stop reading if you got one this Christmas
– an updated model with a sharper Retina screen could well arrive as soon as this spring…
So what other techno tricks does 2013 have in store for us?
Here are four trends to look out for.
OUR HOMES WILL BE APP-CONTROLLED
Nest’s app-controlled thermostat will bring app control to heating
Sadly, this year will not see the arrival of camp robots who shimmer through our home with Martinis…
but the ‘home of the future’ will be a step closer, as lighting, door locks and heating
are controlled by apps.
Nest’s app-controlled thermostat – designed by one of the creators of the iPod – will bring app control to heating, while lighting will be controlled by Philips and Belkin systems.
Lockitron will let us all lock and open our front
doors with the click of an app…
WE ALL STOP TEXTING
Apps offer cheaper, more flexible ways to stay in touch
Texting has permanently altered the English language over the past 20 years, dictating the
140-character length of Twitter messages, and
making even sane adults fluent in gibberish.
But the rise of apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook
Messenger will see the SMS message begin a slow process of dying off next year, as apps offer cheaper,
more flexible ways to stay in touch.
OUR PHONES WILL BE INDESTRUCTIBLE
Good news for everyone bar those in the phone-insurance industry – our phones could become indestructible this year.
Samsung has repeatedly dangled the idea of flexible phone screens,
and is widely expected to show off models at tech expo CES this week.
Good news for everyone bar those in the phone-insurance industry – our phones could become indestructible this year
The point is not that you can bend your phone like a Highland Toffee bar,
but that the phone’s screen won’t shatter.
An end to people talking on phones with spider-webs of broken glass on screen? We can but
hope.
WE ALL STOP BUYING MUSIC AND FILMS
Cheap, subscription-based services will start to bite into pay-per-download services
This year will mark the moment I have to stop
explaining what Spotify is every time I mention it in public –
or at least, I fervently hope so, as I tend to bore people
about it at every opportunity.
Cheap, subscription-based services such as Spotify (you pay £10 a month, get 17 million songs to access wherever you are) and Netflix (£6 a month,
and you’ll never need to buy a DVD again), will start to bite into pay-per-download services.
And slowly but surely, the idea of actually owning music and films will begin to seem a rather quaint,
20th-century idea.
