HOW TO MAKE SAGE BUTTER AT HOME

When I was in bed with the flu a few weeks ago, I saw Jamie Oliver on TV, explaining how to make butter, and I couldn’t believe it was so easy.

So now, my friends, both you and I know how to make homemade butter, how to flavor it with fresh sage, and how to use it!
