How to Make Saffron Infused Butter.

Melt 1 stick of butter (1/2 C) and mix in two large pinches of saffron threads. The saffron will not fully dissolve in the butter (you will still be able to see the thread). However, make sure that it is well integrated. The butter should turn a nice bright yellow color.

Let the butter sit out overnight. It may separate a bit overnight. Give it a good stir to reintegrate any liquids.

This butter is fantastic in the frosting. However, it would also be a delicious spread on bread with a Mediterranean or Indian meal.
