Thoroughly wash the ramps to remove any dirt. Pat dry with paper towel or let dry for a bit.
Trim off root and throw away. Finely chop both the white bulb and green leaves. If you find that onion is a strong flavor for you, you could Sautee the white ends briefly to have a milder flavor.
Mix chopped ramps, salt and butter in a bowl. For a smoother texture you could use a food processor or a mixer.
Scoop the butter into a vessel for storage. If you want to be extra fancy, you could roll the butter in parchment or plastic wrap to create a log shape. This can be helpful if you’d like to use the butter for steaks.
Chill butter in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight.
