Description
Whip up a batch of this Homemade Strawberry Butter to use in a variety of applications. With just a handful of ingredients, you can make a unique twist on traditional butter. Pieces of fresh, diced strawberries combined with a few other pantry staples result in a vibrant and delicious butter. It’s so scrumptious on toast, pancakes, scones, waffles, and any other way you would use regular butter!
Ingredients
- 1 lb (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons grenadine
- 1 ½ cups fresh diced strawberries
Instructions
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer with the whisk attachment), whip the room temperature butter until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Then add the powdered sugar, salt, and grenadine and continue whipping until well combined, about 2 minutes. Lastly, add the diced strawberries and use a rubber spatula to fold them in the butter until just combined. Careful not to over-mix, we want the diced strawberries to remain as chunks within the butter and not disintegrate.
- Once the strawberry butter is well combined, transfer the softened butter mixture into an airtight container (deli container, mason jar, etc.) and keep stored in the refrigerator. Serve either softened/firm.
- Enjoy this homemade strawberry butter as you would traditional butter: smeared on toast, bagels, biscuits, scones, pancakes, waffles, and also in savory applications!
Notes
- Storage: This strawberry butter will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator and up to 3 months when stored in the freezer.
