Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries or raspberries
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for brightness)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mash the blueberries or raspberries with a fork or potato masher until they break down into a chunky consistency. If using raspberries, you may strain them through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
Step 2
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the mashed fruit, honey or maple syrup, and lemon zest (if using) to the butter. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more honey or syrup if desired.
Step 4
Spoon the mixture into an airtight container or shape into a log using parchment paper for easier slicing.
Step 5
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the butter to firm up.
Step 6
Serve chilled and spread over your favorite baked goods or breakfast dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
