Better than Butter

So lately, coconut oil is all the rage... It's previously been given a bad rap because of it's saturated fats, but lately has been back in the spotlight because of all the wholesome goodness in it. So let me warn you - this recipe is a condiment - it's fattening. So use it sparingly, but it's more natural than any "butter" you can buy (except the not-so-healthy kind you make from your pet Jersey) and the fat and calories hover somewhere between "Smart Balance" and "Smart Balance Light." I'll see if I can get it lighter at some point, but this is so full of rich, buttery goodness!

Better than Butter!

½ cup coconut oil
1 tablespoon lecithin, liquid
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch sugar
½ cup water
1 teaspoon butter flavor

Warm ingredients to a liquid state. Blend all with a stick blender or mixer on medium low until thoroughly mixed. Chill and serve. (Looks wonderful in a pretty mold!)

Have a delicious and Happy Sabbath!
