directions

  • Remove butter from fridge and allow it to soften for about 30 minutes.
  • Wash and finely chop fresh strawberries. If you prefer, you may put them in a small food processor and give them a good chop.
  • Combine butter, powdered sugar, strawberry preserve and finely chopped strawberries into a small bowl.
  • Whip by hand until well mixed. If you are using unsalted butter, add salt to taste (a few pinches should be plenty).
  • Place in the fridge. You can just stick the bowl of strawberry butter in the fridge, or you can mold the butter into shapes. Even if you don't have molds, chill the butter, and then use a cookie cutter to make shapes.
  • Tips & Warnings:

  • This butter will keep for about 10 days in the fridge and 2 months in the freezer.

  1. I made this tonight for Cameraless Chef. It wasn't what I was expecting. The ratio of butter to strawberries left me wanting more of a strawberry flavor as the butter overpowered the strawberry flavor. After having 3 other people taste test it, they had the same or similar opinion. I went back with 1/2 of the finished product and added 1 more Tbsp. of powdered sugar, another Tbsp or strawberry preserves and a couple more strawberries and mixed it up. That enhanced the strawberry flavor and was more of what I was expecting. As for mixing the recipe, I don't think you can whip it by hand and make it work. Even with softened butter, I used my food processor and it took SEVERAL minutes of processing in the food processor to get this to a butter type consistency instead of a lumpy consistency. If I make this again, I will add more of the preserves and more strawberries to the butter and sugar to endure more of a strawberry butter flavor. I might also consider using 1 tsp. strawberry extract/flavoring to enhance the strawberry taste.

<p>Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown <br /><br />Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown <br /><br />I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home &amp; community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School&nbsp;District and YWCA. I'm raising my&nbsp;8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have&nbsp;1 cats Samantha and&nbsp;1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost&nbsp;four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September&nbsp;2011. I'm recently&nbsp;married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece&nbsp;9 yrs old and my newphews&nbsp;7 &amp;&nbsp;8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p> 8724441"
