Strawberry Butter Red White And Whew

 Flag Day is also an American holiday that deservesceelbration. Since it's in the e middle of the first strawberry season here, why not create a special dish that highlights  the berries.THis would be the very delicious strawberry butter. It;'s great on bread but also on a slice of pound cake , croissants or brioches.

The recipe has been on my radar since I wrote about it last week.I have been wanting to create Berry butters .They're great on rolls, especially toasted ones along with waffles..I made a vegan version using Melt salted plant butter. The recipe calls for unsalted butter but I feel the salted variety adds to the flavor.

I used three heaping tablespoons (which here they look like vanilla ice cream).

It was then dicing and de-stemming five to six large strawberries 

It was hard at first whipping them together. I finally had to use my mixer to really get a good creamy blend.

It was tasty but it needed some sweetness. strawberries can. be tart.It was time to add in vegan honey.

I used a good three tablespoons to get it to the right Berry sweetness. This I mixed in with a spoon since the butter had softened considerably.

This was so good on sourdough bread.It does have to be chilled  before serving. It's going to be paradise when it's slathered on a waffle.

Strawberry butter is a great way to celebrate any holiday.It's perfect for fancy or simple brunches. It's good on anything from rolls to croissants.Try it for a great strawberry flavor.
