Dinner with Diane: Strawberry Butter

Diane’s Strawberry Butter: A Sweet, Homemade Touch

Print This Recipe

Sometimes, the simplest recipes make the biggest impact. Diane’s strawberry butter is one of those, a homemade favorite she’s crafted herself over the years to perfectly complement her heart scones.

While her scone recipe was inspired by a beloved Martha Stewart Entertaining book, the strawberry butter is all Diane’s own creation. Made with just softened butter and strawberry jam whipped together until fluffy, it adds a fresh, sweet finish that melts beautifully over warm scones, toast, or biscuits.

Here’s Diane’s simple recipe:

Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2–3 tablespoons strawberry jam (seedless if you want it extra smooth)

Instructions

1. Soften the butter by letting it sit at room temperature until spreadable (not melted).

2. In a small bowl, whip together the butter and jam using a fork or hand mixer until fully combined and fluffy.

3. Taste and adjust by adding a little more jam if you want a stronger strawberry flavor or color.

4. Serve immediately soft, or spoon onto parchment, roll into a log, and chill for a pretty, sliceable butter.

Diane’s secret is whipping the mixture a little longer to create a pale pink, airy texture that’s as delightful to look at as it is to taste.

Whether you’re baking for a special occasion or simply elevating your breakfast, this strawberry butter brings a personal, homemade touch that turns everyday moments into something memorable.
