Maple-Bacon Butter

8     tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted
       good quality butter, like Plugra or
       Kerrygold, room temperature
2     slices bacon, diced and cooked
       through (about 2 tablespoons
       bacon crumbles)
2     teaspoons pure maple syrup

1. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Put the butter into the
work bowl. Pulse to soften, and then add the remaining ingredients. Pulse to combine,
stopping to scrape down as necessary. Once nicely mixed, process on Low for 5 seconds to
fully combine.
2. Remove and transfer to a piece of parchment paper. Form into a log, wrap well in the
parchment, then cover fully with plastic wrap. Chill until firm.
