Slow Cooker Blueberry Butter
This recipe for Crock-Pot Blueberry Butter is an easy and tasty recipe to make. I was given an abundance of fresh blueberries and tried my hand at blueberry butter. A definite winner in my book and my families. I made fresh hot biscuits and topped it with the blueberry butter and yummy! If you do not have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries.
This is a great recipe to add to holiday gift giving.A little basket with homemade jelly, jams and butters and add in some homemade biscuits or muffins.I have made this recipe before and had some left in a jar in the refrigerator. A year later and it was still as good as the first day it was made. Of course, that jar was stuck in the back behind some eggs where no one else could find it. It was my secret stash for those mornings I wanted a little something special on my toast and no one was looking!.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of berries to make this fruit butter?
You may use other types of berries or a combination of berries to make this fruit butter. Keep in mind however that the water content of other types of berries can be much higher and thus you may need to cook the berries much longer for the proper fruit butter texture. As long as you cook the berries on LOW heat and give things a stir every now and again to prevent burning you should be okay.
Can I use bottled lemon juice and skip the fresh lemon zest and juice in this recipe?
Using fresh lemon zest adds a very nice taste profile that pairs perfectly with the blueberries and cinnamon. However you may go ahead and omit the fresh lemon juice and zest and just use bottled lemon juice.
Is this blueberry butter cooked in a Slow Cooker or a Crock-Pot?
Either one. A Crock-Pot is a name brand of a slow cooker made by the Rival company. A slow cooker is a generic term and is made by a bunch of other brands. Basically they are the same exact thing.
Can I omit or reduce the amount of cinnamon in this recipe?
If cinnamon is not your thing feel free to either reduce or even omit the cinnamon from the recipe.
