- 1 pint strawberries, hulled
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- In a food processor purée the strawberries and force the purée through a fine sieve into a saucepan. Add the honey and the lemon juice and boil the mixture, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until it is thickened. Let the strawberry mixture cool to room temperature. In a bowl cream together the butter and the strawberry mixture. Let the butter stand, covered, in a cool place for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop. Serve the butter with croissants or toast.
