Strawberry Butter

### Introduction

Hey there, food-loving humans! Gather ’round for a dollop of something truly scrumptious—Strawberry Butter. Let me tell ya, it’s one of those unexpected kitchen marvels that’ll have you slathering it on everything from a morning muffin to an evening slice of sourdough. Made with sweet summer strawberries, it’s bright, it’s festive, and it’s downright life-changing. Why try it? Because life’s too short to miss out on little indulgences that scream “I love you” right from the fridge.

### Lovestruck Family Stories

Ah, Strawberry Butter—a certified love affair in our house. It all started one lazy Sunday morning when the family was crammed into our tiny kitchen while Michael Bublé crooned from the speakers. Somehow, I decided throwing strawberries and butter into one heavenly blend was a genius idea. Fast-forward to today, and I can’t keep enough of this magic spread in the house. Hubby’s always asking for it, and if there’s a way to get the kids behind anything pink, slapping it on toast is the way. It’s those tiny, sticky-finger moments that etch permanent smiles in the heart.

Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Butter

– It’s pink, and honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of pink on their bread?
– So easy even a distracted cook like me can nail it.
– It somehow makes everything taste like sunshine and unicorns.
– You can fancy-up any breakfast pixie-style with it.

How to Make It

Alright, gather ’round! To make this concoction, you’ll want some room-temp butter—don’t panic if you forgot to take it out, just give it a little love in the microwave. Now, grab those juicy strawberries. Hull them, slice them—heck, squish them if you’re feeling wild. Toss them in some sugar if you like a bit more sweetness.

Now, here comes the fun part—*mash* that butter with the strawberries until it’s luxurious, pink, and just begging to be tasted. I like to use a fork first, then give it a few whirls with a hand mixer if I’m feeling fancy (or enthusiastic). Taste as you go, because ya might want to adjust the sugar. All good? Pop it in a cute jar, because it deserves to look as good as it tastes.

Ingredient Notes

– **Butter**: This is our creamy canvas. Room temperature is key, and honestly, anything less feels like wrestling a brick.
– **Strawberries**: Fresh is best, but do what you gotta do. One time I used frozen, uh, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty.
– **Sugar**: Feel free to flirt with maple syrup or honey here—your taste buds are your guide.

Recipe Steps

1. Let butter soften at room temperature or encourage it along with a quick zap.
2. Hull, slice, and lightly mash strawberries; sprinkle with sugar (if desired) for extra sweetness.
3. Combine butter and strawberries in a bowl; mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Taste and adjust sugar if needed.
5. Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge.

For the leftovers (ha, if there are any), tuck this blissful spread into the fridge where it’ll chill out for about a week—if it even lasts that long. Dig in cold, warm it up, whatever you fancy. It’s a friend to all meal times, even those sneaky midnight snacks.

Variations and Substitutions

Go wild and change it up with raspberries when you’re out of strawberries; I won’t judge. Honey instead of sugar? Of course. I’ve skipped the sugar entirely in a pinch and guess what—it’s still darn good. When the fridge is a barren wasteland, this butter has your back.
