Freeze Butter?
Just wondering if butter can be safely stored frozen without affecting quality. IIRC, I vaguely remember doing so in the past, but now I'm not sure. I'm talking about real stick butter, not margarine....

We usually don't use butter, but I do cold smoke it.
Take a stick of butter and roll it in a spice of your choice. I prefer either lemon pepper or garlic. Cold smoke it for a good hour or a little more over a gentle wood like Alder. Cold smoke are the optima words here. Remove from the smoker, wrap and freeze. Next time you plan a steak dinner, thaw the butter and plop a good size paddy on top of the steak as you serve it. Just a little bit of heaven!
