Canning Strawberry Butter Recipe

As you know, I recently posted about canning Strawberry Syrup & I had leftover strawberry pulp.  I asked some friends what to do with this pulp, and one of them recommended Strawberry Butter.
So that's exactly what I decided to try!  And man oh man - am I ever happy that I did!  It is scrumptious!!!!!We  had friends visiting from out of state and so we were able to try this on biscuits.  The whole jar was gobbled up!!
Go ahead, try this recipe so you can have it at your next brunch.


Strawberry Butter Recipe

2 cups strawberry pulp (roughly 12 cups strawberries)
2 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

To get the pulp, first wash and hull 12 cups of strawberries.  Add the berries to a pot of 1/2 - 1 cup of water.  Boil for 5-10 minutes, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.  Place in a colander to drain for several hours if you wish, or press as much juice out as you can,  The pulp is what is leftover in the colander.  (Need a recipe for the juice?  Click here.)
Put pulp back into stock pot.  Add in the sugar and lemon juice.  Mix well.  Cook the mixture on low and let it thicken.  For me, this didn't take but maybe 30 minutes.  But it will all depend on how thick or thin you want your butter.
When it is the consistency you want - ladle into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace.  Process in a water bath for 10 minutes.

Enjoy this on biscuits, sliced bread, muffins, pancakes, & waffles!!

Looking forward to hearing if you like this recipe as much as I do!
