Description
Blueberry Butter is a delightful summer spread made with fresh blueberries and creamy butter, perfect for toast or pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have burst and released their juices.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blueberry mixture cool slightly.
- Once cooled, transfer the blueberry mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and well combined.
- Gradually add the blueberry puree to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer the blueberry butter to a serving dish or airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter blueberry butter, increase the powdered sugar to 1/3 cup.
- Try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest for a citrusy twist.
