It’s strawberry season, which happens to be one of my favorites, I can’t wait to take my kid strawberry picking again! This year will most likely look different due to Covid, but I plan to get some of those ruby red gems! Now those are some good looking strawberries, bright red throughout, what a strawberry should look like!

You’re probably thinking to yourself, strawberry butter what?? Yes, it’s just that- roasted strawberries and butter mixed together, so simple but yet oh so good! It’s really great on all the things think; pancakes, crepes, toast, croissant, muffins, really you can’t go wrong! It’s especially good on scones, and strawberry scones too, for the extra double dose of strawberry goodness! Make some for your breakfast this weekend!

Ingredients

• 2 sticks of butter, softened

• 2 pints of strawberries, hulled and cut

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Directions

• Hull and chop the strawberries into quarters if large, or half if medium to small in size.
• Place cut strawberries on a parchment lined baking sheet, bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Just until the juices thicken slightly. Be sure to take out of the oven before any of the strawberry juices burn, which can happen fast! While still warm, carefully transfer to a bowl, juices and all, allow to cool to room temp.
• Using the whisk attachment of your stand mixer, or handheld one, add the butter and strawberry juice and whisk for a few minutes until combine. Add strawberries and whisk for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Serve immediately or cover a place in the refrigerator

Notes

• If you can use high quality butter, you will taste the difference!
• If you want super punchy strawberry flavor decrease the butter by half.
