Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter and salt with a hand mixer or sturdy spatula until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- Beat in the blueberry puree, honey, and vanilla a little at a time until evenly blended and fluffy.
- Serve soft, or spoon onto plastic wrap, roll into a log, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Serve with warm biscuits, toast, rolls, scones, or pancakes.
Tips
- Let chilled butter soften for 15 minutes before serving so it spreads without tearing the bread.
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Tahitian (floral, cherry, anise), or Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate, covered, for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
