Trim the ends off of the ramps and clean them well under cold, running water.
2
Blanch them quickly (30 seconds) by dropping the ramps in a large pot of salted, boiling water, and then shock them in ice water.
3
Drain the ramps, squeezing as much liquid out as you can. With a sharp knife, thinly slice the ramps.
4
In a large bowl (or Kitchenaid with a paddle), mix well butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, ramps, salt, and pepper.
5
On sheets of parchment, form logs of butter of approximately 1/2 pound each, and roll the parchment tightly around the butter.
6
Put the butter logs in two sets of freezer bags and seal tightly, removing all the air, and store in the freezer.
