Description

This homemade Blueberry Butter is the perfect spread for toast, pancakes, muffins, or scones. With a rich, creamy texture and the sweetness of fresh blueberries, it’s a delightful way to add some fruity flavor to your breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or honey, to taste)

  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

  1. Cook the Blueberries: In a small saucepan, cook the blueberries over medium heat until they begin to soften and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spoon or potato masher to lightly mash the blueberries as they cook, creating a jam-like texture.

  2. Strain the Blueberries: Once the blueberries are soft, remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the skins and seeds, leaving behind just the blueberry juice and pulp. Allow the blueberry puree to cool.

  3. Mix the Butter: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

  4. Add the Blueberries: Once the blueberry puree has cooled, add it to the butter along with the powdered sugar (or honey), lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and smooth.

  5. Chill and Serve: Transfer the blueberry butter to a container and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite baked goods.

Notes

  • If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the blueberry puree before straining to create a finer texture.

  • Blueberry butter works beautifully as a topping for pancakes, waffles, muffins, toast, or even grilled meats like chicken or pork.

 

  • Store any leftover blueberry butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks.
