Yields: ½ Cup

Comment:
Instead of spreading butter and preserves on your toast in the morning, use this quick and easy strawberry butter. The smooth, fruity flavor is sure to please any strawberry lover.

Ingredients:
¼ pound unsalted butter
2½ tbsps strawberry preserves
¼ cup chopped strawberries

Method:
In a small mixing bowl, beat butter with a wooden spoon until it almost resembles the creamy texture of sour cream. Beat in preserves, 1 tablespoon at a time. Butter will acquire a curdled look. Mix in chopped strawberries. Place butter in a serving bowl and refrigerate 1–2 hours or until firm. Prior to use, remove butter from refrigerator, allow to reach room temperature then stir and serve.
