How to Make Homemade Strawberry Butter
1. Prep the Strawberries
If using fresh strawberries, finely chop or mash them. You can also pulse them in a food processor for a smoother texture.
To avoid excess liquid, pat mashed berries with a paper towel to remove moisture — this helps prevent the butter from separating.
2. Whip the Butter
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Mix in Flavor
Add the strawberries, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Beat again until fully combined and smooth. Taste and adjust sugar if needed.
4. Chill & Serve
Spoon the strawberry butter into a jar or small bowl.
Chill for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up — or serve immediately for a softer spread.
🍞 Serving Suggestions
Homemade strawberry butter is incredibly versatile. Try it on:
Warm toast, English muffins, or bagels
Buttermilk biscuits or croissants
Pancakes, waffles, or French toast
Cornbread or scones
As a glaze or finishing butter for grilled chicken or salmon (yes, really!)
🌟 Tips for Success
Use high-quality butter for the richest flavor.
Don’t skip chilling — it helps the spread firm up and blend flavors.
Want it sweeter? Add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a deeper sweetness.
For longer storage, use jam instead of fresh berries and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
🎁 Make It a Gift
Strawberry butter also makes a lovely homemade gift. Spoon it into a small mason jar, tie it with twine, and add a handwritten label. Perfect for Mother's Day, brunch parties, or just a sweet gesture for a friend.

So go ahead — grab some strawberries and start whipping. Delicious things await.
