Easy Homemade Strawberry Butter Recipe with Honey

This delicious Strawberry Butter uses super simple ingredients and is a great for breakfast or dessert. Flavorful, easy and absolutely irresistible.

I love any kind of spreads, butters, sauces etc. But one of my favorites is this Strawberry Butter. The flavor alone just really pops and brings it to life.

This has been one of our go-to strawberry recipes forever; we make it yearly.

Once those strawberries are ripe, it’s time to make this homemade strawberry butter!

It is perfect on so many different things; we mainly use this for breakfast or brunch but love it on English muffins, on hot biscuits, toast, french toast, banana bread, you name it!

It is also a recipe that can be used in other recipes as a topping or addition to frosting and more, it is very versatile, and you can find so many ways to use it.

I also love that you can customize it to fit your own tastes and use other fresh berries. I’ve also used raspberries, and I’m telling you raspberry butter is next level delicious!

If it is your first time making Strawberry Butter, I’m telling you it couldn’t get any easier. It is a simple recipe with few ingredients, the main one being fresh strawberries, so you know it’s going to be good!

Some of my other favorite condiments we have on our site include: Butterscotch Sauce, Cinnamon Buttermilk Caramel Sauce and Whole Berry Raspberry Curd.

1. Minimal ingredients are needed for this fruit butter.
2. This makes a decent-sized batch that you are able to store and have on hand for whenever you need or want.
3. This easy strawberry butter recipe can be used in various ways, such as a filling, topping, spread, and more.

• Strawberries
• Honey
• Granulated sugar
• Lemon juice
• Salt
• Vanilla extract

1. First thing we need to do is puree the washed and hulled strawberries in the bowl of a food processor until smooth.
2. Combine the strawberry puree with the honey, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a deep pot set over medium heat. 
3. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir frequently to prevent scorching. Lower the heat and simmer until the mixture is very thick, about 60-90 minutes (this took me closer to 90), stirring frequently. Any foam produced by the strawberries will disappear with the cooking process, it took almost to the end of cooking. 
4. The strawberry butter is finished cooking when it holds its shape on a spoon. 
5. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla. Serve warm or let cool to room temperature and place in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap and stored in the fridge.

CAN I CAN THIS?

Yes, this is an original strawberry honey butter recipe from Ball Mason Jars, for canning instructions you can find them on the original post: https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=strawberry-honey-butter

CAN I USE FROZEN STRAWBERRIES?

Yes, that shouldn’t be an issue for this recipe.

I know a lot of the time, we freeze strawberries that we have leftover from the summer. 

You will want to defrost them and drain them as well as you can to get the liquid out of them so the sweet butter can thicken up. It might take a little longer to cook down.

DO I NEED TO STRAIN THIS?

We don’t drain this, but you can if you would rather not have the strawberry seeds in the delicious butter.

We have strained it in the past, this is really a personal preference.

WHAT CAN I USE THIS ON?

Fruit spreads made with fresh fruit are great on so many things, some ideas include:

1. Croissants
2. Toast
3. Bagels
4. Biscuits
5. Scones
6. In frostings
7. Fillings for cakes

There are so many more ways to use this, but these are some of the more common ones we do.

This can be stored in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to 1 week.

Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight to use.
