Recipe Tips
Serve this cheesy butter with warm corn bread; dot it on top of sweet potatoes; or stir it into tender green beans. The possibilities are endless!
Cheesemonger Tip
Artisan white cheddar blended with sweet-tart cranberries and smoky chipotle peppers; the cheese has a delightfully warm finish. Spicy heat from the peppers trails after the flavor of the cheddar.
