Pink peppercorn and horseradish butter

5.00

This pink peppercorn and horseradish compound butter (or flavoured butter) is quick and easy to make, and will happily sit in the freezer until you need to use it. The flavours of sharp horseradish flecked with sweet pink peppercorn pair wonderfully with roast beef or steak as well as salmon or lovely buttered potatoes. Horseradish sauce varies from brand to brand, but less sweeter ones tend to work best for this recipe.
