This Vintage Lemon Butter is a classic that is ready ahead of time and makes any holiday meal special!

This Vintage Lemon Butter recipe has been passed down to me from my paternal grandmother. I remember her making this for family holidays when I was a little girl.

One thing to love about this lemon butter is that it is made ahead of time and on serving day needs only a spoon added and set on the table. That makes the cook’s job so easy!

This Vintage Lemon Butter is beautiful and delicious! It is amazing served with ham!
