This is one of my all-time favorite strawberry treats!
It is my mother’s recipe and she has been making it for years.
Strawberry Butter.
It tastes absolutely divine on fresh biscuits….nothing compares!
This year I have decided to share this wonderful butter with my friends for Christmas.
You will be happy to know that this is another very do-able project…you can make it and package it in under an hour!
It takes 3 simple ingredients:
1 cup of butter.
1 cup of strawberry jam.
{I used homemade freezer strawberry jam that I made in Nova Scotia this summer. Yes. I dragged home frozen jam in my suitcase from Nova Scotia to Alberta. Don’t judge.}
{And yes, I do think that blackberry jam or raspberry jam would work just as well!}
2-3 cups of icing sugar.
Mix well until you have the consistency of a whipped butter.
Thick but not runny.
Then spoon butter into small, clean jars and embellish how ever you like.
I used red polka dot ribbon…and I made the labels with Avery oval labels and my computer.
You can read more about making Avery labels here.
Store the Strawberry Butter in the fridge until gift-giving time.
Serve Strawberry Butter at room temperature with biscuits, muffins or toast.
You could also tuck a Christmas-themed spreader into the ribbon and give the butter with a batch of biscuits or muffins.
I picked up these little spice jars from Superstore, and the spreaders were 2 for a $1 at Dollarama.
And yes.
As soon as I put my camera down, I ate that strawberry-butter-topped biscuit!
Happy Weekend!
Share the Love!

That looks luscious!
Mmmmm..yummy on toasted brioche!
Hi Angie,
Oh, this looks so good! There is nothing nicer than homemade biscuits!!
I don't blame you for bringing strawberry jam home from the east coast. I would do it too! The overall packaged gift looks so festive…great gift!
All the Best,
Christine
Oh this looks so good! I might just try it out for a few lucky friends. I make strawberry freezer jam every single year and give it as teacher gifts, hostess gifts, etc. Everyone always loves it – perhaps the butter will do as well!
PS – I blogged all about you again yesterday! xo
Yum! That looks delicious! Would store bought strawberry jam work just as well?!? Thanks for sharing! Found you from IHeartNaptime's Sundae linky party!
Oh, yumm! That looks SO good! Would you share your recipe here?

This looks so good!! I am pinning! Do you think it would be good with blueberry jam? I made jars and jars of it this year.
Is icing sugar and powdered sugar the same thing?
