Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, beat all ingredients until well blended and smooth.
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
- Bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure your butter is perfectly softened before mixing. If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen unsweetened raspberries work well, but drain excess moisture. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less confectioners sugar based on your taste. This raspberry butter can also be used in place of regular butter in recipes like Orange Slice Cake(From The Files Of Dessie Bell Hayes) for a fruity twist.
Serving Suggestions
Raspberry butter is delightful spread on warm scones, toast, or pancakes. It also works well as a topping for waffles or as a filling in pastries. For a lovely brunch, pair it with a fruit salad or serve alongside Katie'S Jam Bars for a sweet treat. This butter can add a pop of flavor to any breakfast spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover raspberry butter in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To maintain its spreadable consistency, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. If it hardens too much, you can gently warm it in the microwave for a few seconds, but be careful not to melt it completely.
