Ingredients

Blueberry Sauce

  • ⅓ cup prepared blueberry sauce, cooled

Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Morton kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Blueberry Sauce: Prepare your blueberry sauce as per your favorite recipe or use a ready-made one. Set aside ⅓ cup of the sauce and allow it to cool completely before use.
  2. Beat Butter and Milk: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened unsalted butter and milk. Start beating on low speed just to incorporate the ingredients, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl a couple of times during this process until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar and Salt: Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of Morton kosher salt to the butter mixture. Beat again on medium-high speed for 1 minute to fully integrate these ingredients and maintain a fluffy texture.
  4. Incorporate Blueberry Sauce and Vanilla: Add the cooled blueberry sauce and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat on low speed just until everything is evenly combined, avoiding overmixing to preserve the airy texture.
  5. Serve or Store: Enjoy the blueberry butter immediately for the creamiest and fluffiest texture. Alternatively, refrigerate it for later use. If chilled, the butter will firm up, so remove it from the refrigerator 20 to 30 minutes before serving to allow it to soften.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the butter is softened to room temperature before starting.
  • Allow the blueberry sauce to cool completely to prevent melting the butter during mixing.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar according to taste.
  • This blueberry butter pairs excellently with toast, muffins, pancakes, or scones.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
