Citrus and parsley add a burst of flavor for an amazing butter you can use on roasted vegetables and proteins. .

Ingredients

• 3 cups (720 ml) heavy cream
• sea salt [or optional]
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 12 sprigs Italian flat leaf parsley, leaves only

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend until mixture is thick and stops circulating—this is the whipped cream stage.
3. Continue blending for 30–45 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. The mixture will separate into liquid and solids. Continue mixing for 30–45 seconds using the tamper.
4. Pour the mixture into a fine mesh strainer seated over a bowl. Allow the mixture to strain in the refrigerator for 4 hours or up to overnight. Store in an airtight container. The buttermilk may be used to make pancakes or other baked goods.
