Ingredients

4 tablespoons Bourbon-Infused Butter, recipe follows

1/2 head cauliflower, cored and cut into bite-sized florets 

2 ears corn, kernels cut off the cob 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Butter-Infused Bourbon and Bourbon-Infused Butter:

One 750-milliliter bottle good-quality bourbon

2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Melt the Bourbon-Infused Butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and golden in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the corn, 3/4 teaspoons salt and some pepper, and continue to cook, stirring often, until the corn is just cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Butter-Infused Bourbon and Bourbon-Infused Butter:

  1. Combine the bourbon and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter melts. Transfer to a container and freeze until the butter has solidified. Remove the large piece of bourbon-infused butter and reserve, refrigerated in an airtight container, for cooking. Strain the bourbon through a fine-meshed sieve and coffee filter to remove any remaining particles of butter. Return the butter-infused bourbon to its original bottle and keep frozen to use in cocktails for up to one month.

I saw this recipe on the TV, and found it here online.  I wanted to try the bourbon infused butter/butter infused bourbon recipe part.  I followed the recipe.  2 days later my butter/bourbon is still in the freezer, and the butter is not frozen, but goopy!  Not sure what the consistency is supposed to be.  Can't really separate the bourbon from the sludgy butter.  Sort of at a loss of what to do.  Seems like I wasted a 5th of good bourbon. <br />
