Effortless Strawberry Basil Butter (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Sweetener
01 -
2 teaspoons honey, totally up to you
→ Fresh Produce
02 -
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped real small
03 -
2 or 3 strawberries, mash them up to get about 2 tablespoons with all the juice
→ Dairy and Seasonings
04 -
0.25 teaspoon coarse salt (sea or kosher both work)
05 -
113 grams unsalted butter, super soft
# Instructions:
01 -
Spoon it into a jar or serve right away. To make it easy to spread, set it out for a bit after pulling from the fridge. Keeps chilled for about two weeks.
02 -
Gently mix in your chopped basil. Toss in honey if you want things sweeter—just try a little at first, then adjust.
03 -
Pour your mashed strawberries with all that juice into the fluffy butter. Whip again till the whole thing goes pink and looks even.
04 -
Use a fork in a small bowl to smash your strawberries till you’ve got enough mush and liquid—should measure out to two tablespoons.
05 -
Throw your soft butter and salt into a medium bowl. Grab a hand mixer or whisk and beat till it’s super light and fluffy.
# Notes:
01 -
If it's been in the fridge, let it hang out on the counter so it softens up and spreads smooth.
02 -
Need more? Just double (or even triple) everything for a bigger crowd.
