Ingredients
Scale
Butter Mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- Pinch of kosher salt
Strawberry Blend
- 8 small strawberries, stems removed, chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Crush Strawberries: In a medium bowl, use a potato masher to crush the strawberries until you have about 1/2 cup of mashed fruit. Set this aside for later use.
- Prepare Butter: Place the room temperature butter and pinch of kosher salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times until the butter becomes fluffy and lighter in texture. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed to ensure even mixing.
- Incorporate Strawberries: Add the mashed strawberries to the food processor bowl. Pulse several more times until the strawberries are evenly incorporated into the fluffy butter mixture.
- Add Honey and Finish: Pour in the honey and pulse again until the mixture is fully blended, light, and fluffy, ensuring the sweet flavor is well combined with the strawberry butter.
- Store and Serve: You can leave the strawberry butter on the counter for a couple of days or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it. Before serving, bring it back to room temperature for the best taste and spreadability.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to achieve a smooth and fluffy consistency.
- Ensure strawberries are ripe for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Store strawberry butter in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Bring refrigerated butter to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
- This butter pairs excellently with toast, pancakes, muffins, or as a sweet addition to cheese boards.
