Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, quartered fresh strawberries, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the mixture together until well combined and the strawberries are broken down to your desired consistency.
- For a smoother butter, transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until creamy. Be careful not to over-process, or it will become too thin.

Notes
For best flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries. This butter is delicious spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, scones, or even as a topping for fresh fruit.
