No, there's no scrambled egg involved.
We took this from a recipe supplied with a picture. In the picture was a smooth pink mixture, rather appealing. Ours, not so much - we did a terrible job but we knew why. Firstly, we used Utterly Butterly which works OK as a spread on toast to replace butter and reduce fat intake blah blah blah but it doesn't however replace butter well in cooking and the same applies to strawberry butter. The other problem was that we didn't have a blender. Instead, we had a knife, a spoon, a bowl and a limited quantity of elbow grease. Oh and the strawberries were mouldy.
So we mashed the old strawberries (fur removed) as much as we could with a spoon and knife in the bowl. We were told to remove the seeds from the outside, but that would take way too long and we wanted to see if we could grow strawberry plants in our bellies. We then added the Utterly Butterly and mixed it into a curdle. We tried a brief microwave, but to no avail. So eventually, we gave up with the mixing and chucked it on to the toast. It looked very strange, but the flavours were all there and honestly, they didn't go well. For me, it was the clash of sweet strawberries against savoury brown bread. Of course some sweet does work on toast, but this just didn't for either of us. Perhaps a well made strawberry butter with real butter and fresh strawberries, mixed in a blender would have tasted better, but i'm not entirely convinced.
Still waiting on the strawberry plants.
