Salt in strawberry butter? Yes, you read that right. A pinch of salt brings out the flavor of the strawberries even more. They taste extra strawberry-like, if that were a word. Store the strawberry butter in the fridge, where it will keep for at least four days. Take it out in time and spread generously on warm toast, croissants or waffles…
How to make strawberry butter
- Beat the butter with the sugar and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy, and the color has become lighter.
- Keep mixing and add the strawberries. Continue mixing until well combined, but you can still see pieces of strawberry.
- Put the strawberry butter in small bowls or shape it into a log in plastic wrap. Store in the fridge. You can also freeze the butter and thaw it before using. Serve at room temperature so that the butter is soft and spreadable.
