Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) strawberry jam or preserves
Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- In a compact mixing vessel, amalgamate the room-temperature butter (226 grams / 8 ounces) with powdered sugar (120 grams / 1 cup) and premium strawberry preserves (45 milliliters / 3 tablespoons), whisking until the texture transforms into a silky, homogeneous blend.
- Utilize a culinary spatula to transfer the luminous pink spread into a sealed container, ensuring minimal air exposure to maintain optimal freshness and prevent flavor degradation.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the ingredients to meld and the consistency to stabilize, creating a more refined taste profile.
- When prepared to serve, extract the spread from the refrigerator and allow it to temper for 5-7 minutes, which will enhance its spreadability and reveal the nuanced flavors.
- Present alongside freshly toasted artisan bread, warm buttermilk biscuits, or delicate scones, transforming an ordinary morning into a delectable culinary experience.
Notes
- Butter transforms from cold and hard to creamy perfection when left at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Powdery sugar slides through a fine-mesh sifter, breaking down any stubborn clumps that could ruin your smooth spread.
- Selecting premium strawberry preserves means capturing intense fruity richness that elevates the entire recipe.
- Whipping creates magical moments where ingredients dance together, becoming light, airy, and irresistibly smooth.
- Refrigeration works like a flavor conductor, allowing ingredients to mingle and develop deeper, more complex tastes.
