So, I was on Pinterest the other day (such a great way to waste time, even more dangerous with the app they have) and I saw a recipe for strawberry honey butter. It is peak strawberry season here in Florida, so I pinned it and decided to try. Mind you, I am a gardener, not a chef :)
Here are all the ingrediants listed:
1 pint of strawberries hulled (had to google that one)
3 tablespoons of honey
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1 1/2 sticks of butter softened
Throw the hulled strawberries into a blender and puree them. Then put them in a pan and boil with the honey and lemon juice for about 3 minutes, or until it thickens. Cream this with the softened butter until fluffy.
Put this covered in the refrigerator for an hour. Then you are done!
Let me just saw that I used too many strawberries, and not enough honey or butter. That's why mine looks super red:
It is still great, and easy to make. I just need to actually measure out my ingredients instead of eye balling them! Try it and tell me what you think!
This sounds really good! I've gotten into raw honey lately, which is a little more expensive, but contains more good enzymes than processed honey. I'm going to have to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI too must confess to "wasting time" on pinterest. Thanks for posting the recipe!
ReplyDeleteCee Jay Kay- where do you buy your honey from? I am interested in local honey as well.
