Strawberry Butter Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 8 small strawberries, stems removed and chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
- Crush Strawberries: In a medium bowl, use a potato masher to crush the strawberries until you get about 1/2 cup of mashed fruit. Set this aside for later use.
- Fluff Butter: Place the unsalted butter and a pinch of kosher salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until the butter becomes light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Incorporate Strawberries: Add the mashed strawberries to the fluffy butter in the food processor. Pulse several more times until the strawberry pieces are evenly incorporated into the butter.
- Add Honey: Pour in the honey and pulse again until the mixture is uniformly blended and airy in texture.
- Store Properly: You can leave the strawberry butter out on the counter for a couple of days or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. Before serving, bring the butter to room temperature to restore its creamy spreadable consistency.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure smooth blending.
- This strawberry butter is best enjoyed within a week if refrigerated.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste for more or less sweetness.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and vibrant color.
- Bring refrigerated butter to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
