The idea of combining fruit with butter is not exactly new—it has its roots in both English and French cuisine with fruit curds and butters like lemon or apple butter being traditional favorites. But when the sweet tenderness of strawberries meets the rich luxuriousness of butter, it transforms into something quite exceptional: Strawberry Butter. Not only does it encapsulate the arrival of spring with its vibrant color and aroma, but it also adds an effortless gourmet twist to everyday meals. It's an excellent choice when you want to impress guests at a brunch or simply elevate your morning toast or afternoon scone.
Strawberry Butter pairs delightfully with warm, freshly-baked bread, scones, muffins, pancakes, and waffles. It can also serve as a surprising twist on the butter component in a PB&J sandwich, or it can bring a sweet note to cornbread and biscuits. On the more savory side, a small dollop on a newly grilled steak adds a whisper of sweetness and sophistication to the dish.
