Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine blueberries and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and release their juices (approximately 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
- Transfer the blueberry mixture to a bowl and mash with a fork or blend briefly with an immersion blender until mostly smooth but still retaining some texture.
- Add the softened butter and lemon juice to the blueberry mixture.
- Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Transfer the blueberry butter to an airtight jar or container.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 2-3 hours.
- Spread on toast, muffins, scones, pancakes, or waffles.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, blend the blueberry mixture completely before adding butter.
- Try using different sweeteners like maple syrup instead of honey for varied flavor profiles.
- If using frozen blueberries, you may need to cook slightly longer to reduce extra moisture.
