Instructions
Step 1
Gather all your ingredients including unsalted butter, orange zest, and grapefruit zest. Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier melting. You can cut the butter into smaller cubes to speed up the melting process.
Step 2
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Keep stirring it continuously to prevent burning. If you are using induction, remember to remove the saucepan from heat to accurately monitor the temperature. Once melted, observe the butter closely until it lightly browns, which should take around 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
Once the butter has reached a desirable nutty color, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the orange and grapefruit zest while the butter is still warm to infuse the delightful citrus flavors. Make sure to mix thoroughly so that all flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 4
After mixing in the zests, let the butter cool to room temperature. If you prefer a whipped texture, refrigerate the butter for about 30 minutes and then whip it with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Store your nutty citrus butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy it with your baked goods or desserts!
