We went out in search of strawberries this weekend and found a great farm that had just opened for the season, we were the only people picking in the field, with bright red berries and a beautiful day. We had to contain ourselves and settled on picking 4 buckets, even though I am sure we could have easily done twice that. The next step was figuring out what to do with them. Besides the easy answer of just slicing them over ice cream, I decided to have some fun as well. This morning I made strawberry muffins with strawberry butter. I would post the muffin recipe, but it really wasn't that special and needs some adjustments before posting for the world. The butter on the other hand was wonderful and will definitely be made again. Besides putting it on muffins, I would suggest tossing it on pancakes, bagels, english muffins or any other foods that you want, it was delicious.
Strawberry Butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 C powdered sugar
