Ingredients:
1 pint strawberries, hulled
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
Instructions:
In a food processor purée the strawberries and force the purée through a fine sieve into a saucepan.
Add the honey and the lemon juice and boil the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until it is thickened.
Let the strawberry mixture cool to room temperature. In a bowl cream together the butter and the strawberry mixture. Let the butter stand, covered, in a cool place for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop.
This butter is delicious, especially on whole grain bagels!
