Once I learned about Garlic Scape Butter, I knew I could never be without it.
Every garlic season, I make batch after batch and tuck it away in the freezer so we can enjoy that fresh garlic flavor long after the scapes are gone. In fact, I may have gone a little overboard in 2024—but that turned out to be a blessing when our garlic crop failed in 2025. We didn't have fresh garlic, but we still had plenty of Garlic Scape Butter waiting in the freezer!
This simple recipe comes together in about 15 minutes and is one of the easiest ways to preserve the harvest. Fresh garlic scapes are blended into creamy butter, creating a rich, flavorful spread that instantly upgrades almost any meal.
We melt it over vegetables, spread it on warm bread, stir it into potatoes, and use it to add garden-fresh flavor to countless dishes throughout the year. Honestly, the hardest part is deciding what to put it on next.
If you've never made Garlic Scape Butter before, prepare yourself—you may find it becomes a permanent staple in your freezer too.
And don't miss next week's recipe, where I'll show you one of our favorite ways to use it: homemade Pizza Fries!
