Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup butter, cubed
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Simmer ingredients: Combine the blueberries, sugar, cubed butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the berries have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Blend the mixture: Transfer the hot blueberry mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until completely smooth. Chill the blended mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to cool down and slightly firm up.
- Whip for fluffiness: Using an electric mixer, whip the chilled blueberry butter mixture until light and fluffy, incorporating air to create a creamy texture.
- Serve or store: Serve immediately spread on your favorite baked goods or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries as preferred; if using frozen, no need to thaw before cooking.
- Adjust sugar to taste depending on sweetness of blueberries.
- The lemon juice balances the sweetness and brightens the flavor; do not skip.
- Ensure to chill the mixture well before whipping to achieve the best fluffy texture.
- Store blueberry butter refrigerated and consume within a week for optimal freshness.
