Avocado Butter Balls Recipe

Blend avocado puree and lime juice. Beat with butter and ginger until blended. Cover and chill until firm.

Roll into small balls on waxed paper; easiest to use wooden butter paddles for forming butter balls. Roll in nuts. Chill again or freeze for longer storage.

Serve the avocado-butter balls with cocktail rye or crackers as part of an appetizer buffet.

Great for spreading on hot biscuits with country ham, with corn on the cob, steamed vegetables, baked potatoes, baked sweet potatoes; or set one butter ball in each half of a microwaved acorn squash.
