How to Make Lingonberry Butter

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until creamy and pale yellow (about 2 minutes).
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup of lingonberry preserves, beating on low speed until thoroughly combined and a light pink color is achieved. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. Continue beating on medium speed for another 2-3 minutes, or until the butter is light and airy with no visible liquid. If the mixture appears clumpy or too dark pink, continue beating until smooth and light.
  4. For a smoother consistency, you can briefly pulse the mixture in a food processor after step 3 (optional).
  5. Transfer the lingonberry butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  6. Enjoy! This butter has an excellent shelf life of up to 2 weeks when stored properly in the refrigerator.
