Ingredients




½ cup butter, softened
¼ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
2-3 drops stevia, optional

Preparation

1 In food processor, combine softened butter and strawberries. 2 Pulse briefly until berries break down and combine with butter. 3 Place a long piece of plastic wrap on top of a long piece of aluminum foil; place berry butter on top in a log shape (approximately 6 inches). 4 Roll the butter inside the plastic wrap, then inside the foil. 5 Twist the ends of the foil in opposite directions to seal. 6 Continue twisting in opposite directions to create pressure, forcing the butter into a uniform cylindrical shape. 7 Place in the refrigerator several hours or overnight. 8 When ready to serve, unwrap butter and slice into rounds with a sharp knife.

About

Happy Mother’s Day! I am sharing a recipe for strawberry butter because it’s easy enough for young inexperienced cooks to whip up and serve alongside a nice brunch tray. It is also special enough for me to make for my own mother- especially with fresh strawberries in season. Serve with scones, rolls, toast, or this simple one minute muffin: melt ½ tablespoon butter in 8 oz. ramekin. Whisk 1 egg, ¼ cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons golden flax seed meal, and a pinch of salt with the butter. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon baking powder and stir. Microwave for 1 minute. Invert onto serving plate and serve warm.
