Description
If you’re looking for a delightful spread that instantly elevates toast, pancakes, or muffins, this Strawberry Butter recipe is the perfect choice.

With just a few simple ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time, you can create a homemade butter that looks fancy but couldn’t be easier to make.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 8 small strawberries, stems removed and chopped
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: In a medium bowl, crush strawberries with a potato masher until you have about 1/2 cup of mashed berries. Set aside.
- Whip the Butter: Place butter and salt in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the butter becomes light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Incorporate Strawberries: Add the mashed strawberries to the butter and pulse several times until evenly mixed.
- Add Honey: Pour in the honey and pulse again until everything is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Store: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- Serving: Serve Strawberry Butter at room temperature for the smoothest, creamiest texture. It’s perfect on toast, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, muffins, croissants, scones, or even banana bread. You can also spread it on dinner rolls for a touch of sweetness or use it as a topping for warm oatmeal and crepes.
- Storage: Store your Strawberry Butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 2 months—just let it thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
- Pro Tip: To make it easy to use, portion the butter into small ramekins or roll it into a log shape using parchment paper before refrigerating.
