Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Blending: In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, powdered sugar, and strawberry preserves until a smooth, vibrant pink mixture forms with a consistent texture.
- Storing: Transfer the strawberry butter to an airtight container, carefully spreading it evenly and minimizing air pockets to preserve freshness and flavor integrity.
- Chilling: Refrigerate the spread for half an hour, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and develop a more concentrated taste profile and ideal consistency.

- Preserve Quality Impacts Flavor: Choose high-quality, premium strawberry preserves to elevate the overall taste and color of the butter spread.
- Chilling Enhances Texture: Refrigeration helps ingredients meld together, intensifying flavors and creating a firmer, more spreadable texture.
- Serving Pro Tip: Let the strawberry butter sit at room temperature for 5-7 minutes before serving to achieve ideal spreadability and release full flavor profile.
