Rosemary & Garlic Butter Recipe

"I bought some of this butter at the supermarket a few weeks back and it was very expensive. I did use it in an array of recipes and loved it. Seeing I am growing garlic and have rosemary and parsley in the garden, I have decided to now make my own. The servings number's will depend as to how/what you use the butter in."
