Ingredients
You just need 4 ingredients for this recipe – Strawberries, Unsalted Butter, Honey, and Lemon Juice.
While selecting strawberries, make sure you get the firm and red ones, with no soft spots and marks. They are tart and sweet, and taste the best.
You can use any unsalted butter available in the market.
Honey is added for a little sweetness and lemon juice to add a little tangy taste to the sweet and tart strawberries.
How to make Strawberry Butter?
Start by preparing 10-15 large strawberries. Make sure they are at room temperature. Wash them quickly and drain all the water. Chop the top with the leafy part and cut the strawberries into small pieces.
Take out ½ cup unsalted butter from the refrigerator and keep on the counter for 30-40 minutes until it is slightly softened.
Add the softened butter, 3 tablespoon honey, and 2 teaspoon lemon juice to the jar of a food processor and blend at medium speed until the butter is light and fluffy. Keep scraping the sides of the jar a few times while blending.
Fluffy Butter.
Add the chopped strawberries to the jar and blend again until combined. Keep scraping the sides of the jar a few times.
Transfer the butter to a glass container, secure the lightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Bring the butter to room temperature before using it to make sure it spreads evenly.
Frequently Asked Questions
To make it vegan, blend vegan margarine, lemon juice, maple syrup, and strawberries until everything comes together.
Yes, you can! Just transfer them to the fridge from the freezer and let them defrost overnight. Take them out of the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature. Then chop and use to make the strawberry butter. But I would suggest you use fresh strawberries if you get them.
You can make this cheat version of this flavored butter by using strawberry jam. Use 1 part strawberry jam and 2 parts butter. Blend them until combined and use.
Usage Ideas
Slather this butter on tortillas and make a roll.
Spread it on bagel, toast, pancakes, waffles, banana bread and buns.
Pipe on english muffins, scones and biscuits for a delicious sweet treat.
You can make cookies, bread, or ice cream using it.
Storage Suggestions
In the refrigerator, this butter will last for 8-10 days.
But you can freeze it if you want it to last longer. It can be frozen for up to a month.
You can freeze it in small portions and thaw one portion before use so that the rest of the butter keeps good for a longer time. I like to use my ice cube trays to freeze this butter. One cube is good for one serving.
