How to Make Strawberry Basil Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter with ½ cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries and ¼ cup finely chopped fresh basil.
  3. Spoon the mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a log approximately 6 inches long.
  4. Tightly wrap the plastic wrap around the log, twisting the ends to seal.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 3 days, until firm.
  6. Once firm, unwrap the butter log and slice into ½-inch thick rounds.
  7. Serve immediately or melt a slice over your favorite warm breakfast treat: waffles, pancakes, muffins, raisin toast, or even bagels and English muffins.
