🍓 What Is Strawberry Butter?
Strawberry butter is a whipped, lightly sweetened blend of fresh or preserved strawberries and creamy butter. The result? A silky spread with a pink hue, rich flavor, and a subtle fruitiness that pairs beautifully with everything from warm biscuits to waffles. It’s a delightful mix of comfort and charm — like jam and butter had a baby, and it turned out delicious.
