Enjoy radish butter on toast or crackers. This recipe, which is one of my favorites, was inspired by a fellow-sharer, whose name I don’t know. She gave me the idea while we sorted through cured squash for the winter share pick-up during our work-for-share hours. Thank you, anonymous sharer! This recipe is one of my favorites.
