Introduction

Blueberry Honey Butter is a delightful and easy-to-make spread that combines the sweetness of honey with the fresh burst of blueberries and creamy butter. Perfect for toast, muffins, or pancakes, this flavorful butter adds a special touch to your breakfast or snack.

A small clear glass jar with a silver metal lid is filled with a creamy mixture that is light pink with dark purple berry bits throughout, showing a rough texture of mixed fruit and cream. In front of the jar, on a white marbled surface, is a beige open muffin with a dollop of the same pink and purple berry mixture on top. The background is softly blurred with a rustic white wooden texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 stick salted butter (or unsalted butter plus 1/8 teaspoon salt)
1 tablespoon honey (local honey preferred)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

Step 1: Place the butter in a small bowl and whip it with a fork until soft and creamy.
Step 2: Add the blueberries and honey to the butter. Mix well using the fork, then use a wooden spreader to whip the mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl to combine everything into a light, fluffy spread.
Step 3 (for larger batches): Use a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and combined. Scrape down the sides and beat again until fluffy.
Step 4: Transfer the blueberry honey butter into small jars or an airtight container for storage.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, gently mash the blueberries before mixing to release more juice.
If using unsalted butter, adjust salt to your preference, starting with 1/8 teaspoon.
Try this spread with other berries like raspberries or blackberries for a different twist.
Serve it slightly chilled or at room temperature for easier spreading.

Storage

Store the blueberry honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it in small portions for up to three months. To use, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and stir before serving. Bring to room temperature if you prefer a softer spread.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use canned blueberry sauce instead of fresh blueberries?

Yes, you can use canned blueberry sauce, but fresh or frozen blueberries give a fresher, more vibrant flavor and texture to the butter.

Is it better to use salted or unsalted butter?

Salted butter adds a nice balance of flavor to the spread. If you only have unsalted butter, add about 1/8 teaspoon of salt to taste.

Scale

Ingredients

1 stick (4 ounces) of salted butter (or unsalted butter with 1/8 teaspoon salt added)
1 tablespoon of local honey (or any honey of choice)
1/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (or blueberry sauce, though less flavorful)

Instructions

Prepare Butter: Place the butter in a small bowl and mix or whip it with a fork until it becomes soft and slightly fluffy.
Add Blueberries and Honey: Add the blueberries and honey to the bowl with the whipped butter. Use a fork and a wooden spreader to thoroughly combine the ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth, light, and fluffy.
For Small Batches: Keep the blueberry honey butter in the bowl you prepared it in for convenience and easy serving.
For Larger Batches: Use a mixing bowl and an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until smooth. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a wooden spatula and beat again to achieve the perfect light and fluffy texture. Transfer the mixture into 4-ounce glass jars for gifting or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

You can use canned blueberry sauce, but fresh or frozen blueberries provide the best flavor.
If you only have unsalted butter, add 1/8 teaspoon of salt to mimic salted butter flavor.
Local honey is preferred for flavor depth but any honey will work.
For small batches, mixing by hand with a fork is sufficient and prevents waste.
Larger batches benefit from an electric mixer for smooth consistency, though some butter may be wasted.
Store the butter in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
