Instructions: * Note: Not indiviual garlic cloves, but the whole heads, unpeeled.

Place the heads of garlic in a small baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Allow to cool, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a small bowl.

Mash the garlic with a fork and add the softened butter. Mix together until smooth. Spread on bread or crackers.

You can also enjoy this on all kinds of meat and fish.

Comments: Dont back away from me on this recipe! It is not at all as strong as it sounds.

The roasting of the garlic mellows out the sharpness of the bulb and gives the butter a soft but bright garlic flavor.
