Compound butter, created by mixing savory or sweet ingredients into softened butter to make a spread, is a quick and easy way to enhance the flavor of many dishes. This recipe uses strawberry puree to add fresh notes to butter, and it takes just five minutes to make a sweet strawberry butter that you can spread on toast, muffins and bagels.<\/p>\n
Pulse the strawberries in a food processor<\/span> until they’re well chopped.<\/span><\/p>\n Add in the butter and 1\/2 cup confectioners\u2019 sugar, then process until blended. Pour in enough of the remaining confectioners\u2019 sugar to reach your desired spread consistency and level of sweetness.<\/p>\n We recommend packing this strawberry butter in an airtight container. It\u2019ll last in the fridge for a week.<\/p>\n You can make strawberry butter a few days before and use it throughout the week to enhance your meals. Prepare it, store it in the fridge, then spread it on all types of dishes when you\u2019re ready to use it.<\/p>\n If you have leftover strawberry butter, we recommend storing it in an airtight container or freezer-friendly bag. You can freeze it for two to three months, then defrost it when you\u2019re ready to use it.<\/p>\n Strawberry butter will keep in the fridge for up to a week. If you store it in the freezer, it\u2019ll last two to three months.<\/p>\n We recommend using softened butter so that it\u2019s easier to blend in the food processor. (Psst:<\/em> If you’re in a rush, there are several ways to soften butter quickly<\/span><\/a>.)<\/span><\/p>\n When serving this strawberry butter, you have the option to serve it softened or chilled. If you use it refrigerated, it will melt as soon as you slice it and put it on warm food.<\/p>\n This strawberry butter can enhance some of the simplest meals with delicious berry flavors. Toast a bagel<\/span><\/a> and spread it on. Warm up a <\/span>muffin<\/span><\/a> and melt it on top. You can also use it as an ingredient to bake delicious cakes. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After picking strawberries for the first time, I developed this fruity, spreadable butter.
