Author Notes: All winter, I search for exciting recipes to make old food seem new, and then the spring comes and I am so desperate for fresh food that I want to eat it right out of the ground. In the interest of being more civilized, I chop up radishes into butter, and then I eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. - alana_chernila

Makes 1/2 cup

4 ounces softened butter
6 radishes, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 chives, roughly snipped with scissors
1/2 teaspoon the best salt on your shelf

Combine the butter, radishes, lemon juice, chives, and salt in a medium bowl.
Mix gently with a wooden spoon, folding the ingredients into the butter.
Serve on bread, or crackers, or anything you to prevent you from just eating the radish butter with a spoon, which you might be tempted to do. (I promise I won't tell.)
