Ingredients
Ingredients for Blueberry Honey Butter
- 1 stick (4 ounces) salted butter, softened (or unsalted butter with 1/8 teaspoon salt added)
- 1 tablespoon local honey (or any honey)
- 1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (can substitute with blueberry sauce, though less flavorful)
Instructions
- Prepare Butter: Place the softened butter into a small bowl. Using a fork, whip the butter until it becomes creamy and spreadable, which helps incorporate the other ingredients smoothly.
- Add Blueberries and Honey: Add the blueberries and honey to the whipped butter. Mix together with a fork, then use a wooden spreader to whip the mixture thoroughly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spreader and continue beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and evenly combined.
- Storage for Small Batches: For smaller quantities, it’s convenient to keep the blueberry honey butter in the same bowl you mixed it in, covered and refrigerated as needed.
- Prepare Larger Batches: When making larger amounts, place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a wooden spatula and mix again to ensure fluffiness.
- Packaging: Spoon the blueberry honey butter into 4-ounce glass jars for gift-giving or transfer to an airtight container for storage. Refrigerate or freeze to preserve freshness.
Notes
- Using fresh or frozen blueberries is preferable for best flavor over canned blueberry sauce.
- If only unsalted butter is available, add 1/8 teaspoon salt to mimic the flavor of salted butter.
- This spread is best enjoyed chilled but can be brought to room temperature for easier spreading.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
- Local honey adds a unique flavor dimension but any good-quality honey will work.
