I’ll be honest this Rhubarb Strawberry Butter happened by accident. And I’m glad it did! I was testing a Strawberry Rhubarb Balsamic Cake and as a filling I created this absolutely delicious butter.
I realized this butter is not only good on cakes but you can use it in anything you like. It’s great on a toast, with ice cream or anywhere you would use nut butter or a jam.
It’s so creamy and luscious, you’ll want more and more!
What you will need:
Fresh Strawberries
Fresh Rhubarb
Sugar
Butter
Balsamic Reduction (optional)
The process is pretty straight forward. Chopped the berries and rhubarb, lay them on a parchment paper lined baking tray and drizzle with balsamic reduction (if using).
Bake it 350F (176C) for 30min. After that transfer them into a blender and blend for a few seconds, till it’s pureed.
Ones it’s pureed, transfer to a saucepan and cook with butter and sugar on low. You have to stir frequently so it doesn’t burn on the bottom. You will know its ready when you run a spoon through and it leaves a trail.
At this point, you can let it cool and transfer to a jar. But make sure it has completely cooled before you close the jar.
*You could use a sieve to get it extra smooth, but I do like the strawberry seeds in it.
Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 weeks, although I don’t think it will last that long.
I really love the flavor of this Rhubarb Strawberry Butter. The combination of sweet and sour, plus the creaminess, creates the perfect package.
Some people think rhubarb is too sour, but I think combining it with the right ingredients is the key.
It works great in pies and oatmeal. Can be added to any baking, and with this recipe, is perfect in ice cream.
If you are a fan of tangy, sour flavors like me I also have this Hibiscus Panna Cotta recipe, which is also super yum! Very light, not too sweet, perfect summer dessert, or if you are looking for something not too heavy after a big dinner.
I hope you give it a try and let me know how you like it! Leave a comment below, follow me on Instagram and Facebook for more delicious recipes.
