Blueberry Butter is the perfect blend of sweet fruit and creamy richness that adds a luxurious touch to anything you spread it on. Whether slathered on warm toast, dolloped over pancakes, or tucked inside a biscuit, this velvety spread brings a burst of blueberry flavor with a hint of honey and citrus. It’s a beautiful way to preserve the season’s berries and make everyday breakfasts feel a little more indulgent.
Unlike fruit jams that require long cooking or precise setting, blueberry butter is easy to prepare in under 30 minutes and uses simple ingredients you probably already have at home. The honey enhances the natural sweetness of the berries, while a touch of lemon juice brightens the flavor, keeping it fresh and vibrant. Once chilled, the mixture becomes a smooth, spreadable delight that’s as stunning in appearance as it is in taste.

Ingredients
1 cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup honey
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Blueberries
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and honey.
Let the mixture bubble gently for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The blueberries will begin to pop and release their juices, creating a syrupy blend.
Step 2: Cool and Mash
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5–10 minutes.
Transfer the blueberry mixture to a bowl.
Mash with a fork for a chunky texture or blend with an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
Step 3: Combine with Butter
Add the softened butter and lemon juice to the bowl.
Mix until fully combined and creamy, with the blueberries evenly distributed.
You can use a hand mixer for a whipped texture or a spoon for a rustic feel.
Step 4: Chill
Spoon the blueberry butter into an airtight jar or container.
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until firm and spreadable.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Spread on toast, warm muffins, scones, pancakes, or waffles.
It’s also delicious melted over hot biscuits or stirred into oatmeal.
Tips for Success
• Use unsalted butter for the purest flavor
