Looking for something different to spread on your toast in the morning? Most of us get in a breakfast rut, where we just keep eating the same things over and over.

I'm the same way. Whenever we have an extra box of strawberries, I find myself making this strawberry chia jam or this strawberry sauce because it's just easy and we like them. This time I wanted something different to make with the berries.

This strawberry butter was the perfect solution. It was so easy to make in minutes with ingredients I already had in our kitchen.

FAQ's

Does this have to be refrigerated?

It really is best to keep the fruit butter in the fridge because of the fresh berries in it.

You can use whole frozen strawberries. Just thaw them overnight in the refrigerator. Let come to room temperature and drain any liquids before dicing. I personally recommend using fresh fruit.

Can I use other fruits?

Yes, you can use any soft fruit that you have on hand. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or peaches would be delicious.
