| Strawberry Butter |
Ah flavored butter, not only do they look pretty, they make a simple bread taste divine!
I got the inspiration to make these "life's simple pleasure" from the pin that led me to this blog, Sunday Suppers, (thanks Pinterest!). I made 2 versions for my birthday brunch, Strawberry Butter and Herbed Butter. I prepared them the day before the brunch and kept it in the fridge.
Strawberry Butter

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Assembly time: 5 minutes

1/2 stick of butter, room temperature
2 tbsp strawberry jam
1/8 inch slice of strawberry for garnish, (optional)
Directions:
1. Mix butter and jam until well combined.
2. Transfer in a small container and garnish with a slice of fresh strawberry on top. Cover the top with parchment paper. Alternatively, you may wrap it in parchment paper.
3. Refrigerate until ready to use. Will keep for one week.

Home-cooked Meals
Haidee, you are such an inspiration. I hope to be able to post all the foods I cooked and... will be cooking. I love how you put together all the things you love doing, cooking and photography. God bless you and may you continue to inspire others.
ReplyDeleteThanks Malou! I have my husband to thank for...he complains that I have different versions of "adobo" and I can't duplicate the dish he liked because I wouldn't remember exactly how I did it. He kept telling me I should write down my recipes. And so this is my response to his "nagging", LOL. And since I have found that my love of photography is zeroing-in to food, I finally decided to write a blog. I was not easy to start. But I love the progress I'm making. And it's a good therapy and de-stresser ;-) I hope someday the recipes and photos posted here can be turned into a book :-)
