If I'm remembering correctly from earlier discussions here, the herb butters
may have some period recipes and other evidence for them. It is the honey-
butters that I don't think anyone has shown evidence for except I think for
a late-period medical recipe.

You might check through this file in the FOOD section of my Florilegium.
I'm pretty certain that if anyone mentioned or gave any period recipes for
herb butters that they would be in here.
