Strawberry Butter

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 recipes for years and we make it every single year. Once those strawberries are ripe, it’s time to make this recipe!

It is perfect on so many different things, we mainly use this for breakfast or brunch but love it on English Muffins, Biscuits, Toast, 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!

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

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

• Minimal ingredients are needed.
• This makes a decent-sized batch that you are able to store and have on hand for whenever you need or want.
• This can be used in various ways, as a fill, topping, spread, and more.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED (FULL RECIPE BELOW):

Strawberries
Honey
Granulated sugar
Lemon juice
Salt
Vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BUTTER:

1. 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 stored in the fridge.

CAN I CAN THIS?

Yes, this is an original 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 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 Strawberry Butter. We have strained it in the past, this is really a personal preference.

WHAT CAN I USE THIS ON?

This is 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 that you can use this, but these are some of the more common ones that we do.

HOW TO STORE:

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.

Tips and Tricks:

• Fresh lemon juice is best for this but you can use bottled in a pinch.
• This can be used on so many different things, see my tips above.
• This can be strained to remove the seeds, but not necessary.
• Double this batch to have more on hand.
• Frozen strawberries will work, see my tips above.
