Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup cherry preserves or jam
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature.
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cherry preserves, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt (if desired). Continue to beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light, fluffy, and fully incorporated.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness or cherry flavor by adding more powdered sugar or preserves if needed.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Let the butter come to room temperature before serving for the best spreadable consistency.
Notes
- For a fresh cherry flavor, use pureed, strained fresh cherries instead of preserves.
- Add cinnamon or lemon zest for extra flavor.
- You can substitute honey for powdered sugar for a more natural sweetness.
- This butter can be frozen for up to 2-3 months, just thaw it before using.
- Whipped cherry butter makes a great filling for cakes and pastries as well!
