Main Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 3 tbsp water (optional)
- 8 strawberries, chopped and mashed (about 1/2 cup liquid and puree)
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash strawberries thoroughly, pat them dry with a towel, remove the stems, and chop them into small pieces.
- Mash Strawberries: Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl and mash them with a fork or spoon until you achieve a chunky puree consistency.
- Whip Butter: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter using a hand mixer or whisk until it becomes light, fluffy, and smooth.
- Add Honey: Gradually add the honey into the whipped butter and continue to mix until fully incorporated and evenly combined.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the mashed strawberry puree into the honey butter mixture, taking care not to deflate the whipped texture.
- Chill and Store: Transfer the strawberry butter into a clean storage container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use softened butter at room temperature to ensure smooth whipping and mixing.
- Optional water can be added if you want a slightly looser consistency.
- Sweetness can be adjusted by varying the amount of honey according to taste.
- Store refrigerated and consume within one week for best freshness.
- Try spreading this strawberry butter on warm toast, pancakes, or muffins for a delightful fruity flavor.
