Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Berry Mixture:

   • In a food processor, blend together raspberries, blackberries, powdered sugar, orange zest, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until the berries are pureed into a smooth consistency.

2. Incorporate Butter:

   • Add the room temperature unsalted butter to the berry mixture in the food processor.

3. Blend Until Smooth:

   • Process the mixture again until the butter is thoroughly combined with the berry puree. You should have a vibrant and smooth berry butter.

4. Pipe Rosettes (or Use a Mold):

   • Transfer the berry butter into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a plastic zip-top bag and cut off a corner.
   • Pipe rosettes of the berry butter onto a baking pan lined with waxed or parchment paper. Alternatively, you can use a butter mold if you prefer a different shape.

5. Chill the Butter:

   • Place the pan with the piped butter in the refrigerator. Allow the butter to chill until it sets, usually around 30 minutes to an hour.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the berry butter has set, carefully remove the rosettes from the parchment paper or molds.
   • Serve the berry butter rosettes on cracked ice for a delightful and refreshing treat.

Storage Tips:

• Freezing Rosettes:
  • If you have leftover rosettes or want to prepare in advance, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the rosettes are frozen solid.
  • Transfer the frozen rosettes to an airtight container or zip-top bag, and store them in the freezer.
  • These frozen rosettes can be kept for several weeks and are perfect for quick additions to breakfasts or desserts.

Recipe Notes:

• Customization:

  • Feel free to experiment with different berries or a combination of your favorites.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less powdered sugar according to your taste.

• Butter Mold Option:

  • Instead of piping rosettes, you can press the berry butter mixture into a decorative butter mold for beautiful shapes.
  • Chill the molded butter in the refrigerator until firm, then gently unmold onto a serving plate.

• Serve Suggestions:

  • Spread this berry butter on warm toast, English muffins, or bagels for a burst of fruity flavor.
  • Top pancakes, waffles, or French toast with a dollop of berry butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
  • Use it as a filling for thumbprint cookies, sandwiched between layers of shortbread, or as a topping for scones.

• Gift Idea:

  • Package the berry butter in small jars or decorative containers for a thoughtful and delicious homemade gift.
  • Add a ribbon and a personalized label for an extra special touch.
