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.
