Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• Pinch of kosher salt

3. Step 3: Add the mashed strawberries to the food processor and pulse several more times until the berries are fully incorporated into the butter.

Tips & Variations

• Use a hand mixer or stand mixer if you don’t have a food processor; the texture may be slightly different but still delicious.
• Swap honey for maple syrup for a different kind of sweetness and flavor.
• Try adding a little lemon zest for a bright citrus note.
• If fresh strawberries aren’t available, use thawed frozen strawberries, drained of excess liquid.

Storage

Store the strawberry honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Before serving, bring it to room temperature for easier spreading by letting it sit out for about 20 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

It’s best to use unsalted butter so you can control the salt level, but if you use salted butter, omit the added pinch of kosher salt to avoid over-salting.

How long does the strawberry honey butter last?

Refrigerated in an airtight container, it lasts about two weeks. For best flavor, enjoy it within that time frame.
