Strawberry Butter

This is one of our favorite items which we only serve at Thanksgiving, and sometimes at Christmas. This simple to prepare recipe tastes wonderful spread on Pumpkin Bread, Nut Breads, Muffins, or even just plain white bread! It is important the ingredients are at room temperature before preparing, or the butter will not be smooth. (Still will taste good!)

• 1 10 oz pkg frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed (sometimes I microwave to thaw fast)
• 1 C (two sticks) butter, room temperature (no substitutions)
• 1 C powdered sugar

In a blender, add the strawberries with syrup, then the two sticks of butter and blend. Gradually add the powdered sugar, using a spatula and start and stop method to blend the entire mixture. When completely smooth, place in serving containers and refrigerate. This mixture will become solid when cold, so you may want to let it soften a bit before serving. Spread on breads, rolls, or anything!
