Strawberry Butter
1/2 cup butter (one stick) softened
1/4 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
2 to 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Cut the butter into 6 to 8 pieces and put it in the food processor with the strawberries. Process the butter and strawberries, adding the confectioners' sugar while doing so, until the butter is smooth and even-colored.
(To mix by hand, cream the butter and sugar, then mash the strawberries with a fork and mix them with the butter mixture.)
This was really good on scones. And it turns out a lovely pinkish color that looks great on a tea table.
