- To amp up the flavour and texture of the sweet butter board, use coarse sea salt or sea salt flakes instead of regular salt.

How to Store Leftovers
The butter board can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. If you have any leftovers, you can store them for later too! All you need to do is make sure the board is covered well in cling wrap to preserve the freshness of the ingredients, and then refrigerate it.
Also remember to get the board out of the refrigerator at least 40 minutes before you plan to serve it. This will allow the butter enough time to soften.
