Description
This creamy blackberry butter is a smooth, fruity, and lightly sweetened spread that enhances toast, pancakes, and more. Made with just a few ingredients, it’s a quick and elegant way to add berry flavor to breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (or thawed frozen blackberries)
- 1 tablespoon honey (adjust based on desired sweetness)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Puree the blackberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, pressing to extract as much juice as possible.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strained blackberry puree with the softened butter, honey, and a pinch of salt.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer or a sturdy spoon until light, fluffy, and fully combined.
- Transfer the creamy blackberry butter to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a richer flavor.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest for a citrus twist.
- Try raspberries or strawberries in place of blackberries.
- Let the butter sit at room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
