Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 8 small strawberries, stems removed and chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Crush Strawberries: In a medium bowl, crush the chopped strawberries using a potato masher until you have about 1/2 cup of mashed strawberries. Set aside.
- Prepare 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 fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
- Combine Strawberries and Butter: Add the mashed strawberries to the food processor and pulse several more times until the berries are fully incorporated into the butter.
- Add Honey: Pour in the honey and pulse again until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
- Store and Serve: You can leave the strawberry butter at room temperature for a couple of days or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. Before serving, bring the butter back to room temperature for easy spreading.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for smooth blending.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the strawberries longer in the food processor before adding to the butter.
- Stores well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Bring to room temperature before serving to make spreading easier.
