How To Make Blueberry Honey Butter
INGREDIENTS –
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tsp lemon juice, optional
- 1 cup (2 cubes) butter
DIRECTIONS –
- Add Some Heat – Put the blueberries, honey and lemon juice into a saucepan and bring everything to a boil over medium heat. Once it becomes a deep purple color you’ll know it’s ready.
- Chill Out – Remove the blueberry mixture from the stove and allow it to cool.
- Blend – Using a standard blender, combine the mixture with the butter. You’ll want to blend everything until it is nice and smooth.
- Serve – I love to spread this blueberry honey butter on a warm piece of toast in the morning. It also goes great on pancakes, waffles, English muffins and anything else you can think of!
Blueberry Interesting Facts
- Wild blueberries have a brighter color due to the fact that they have twice the antioxidants as the cultivated blueberries. They pack a lot into a little body.
- Wild blueberries are rich in potassium, vitamin C, folic acid, and dietary fiber. My favorite is fiber since it satisfies hunger with fewer calories. #SwimsuitSeason
- Honey bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of our nation’s produce. No bees? No berries.

Other Notes
This recipe was inspired by my visit to the Honeybee Summit. Wyman’s of Maine sponsored my trip to Prince Edward Island, however I was not compensated monetarily for this recipe. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
Can this Blueberry Honey Butter be water bathed for storage?
I don’t think so. My understanding is the water bath method is for acidic foods and because butter is not, it won’t be properly preserved.
This is seriously making me hungry!
LOL
Omg, looks so yummy! Definitely making this, our whole fam will surely love it!
Thanks Melanie!
I absolutely LOVED this spread! Extremely delicious and versatile, and blueberries are my favorite!

Thanks!
Sounds so tasty and easy! Definitely I should try to make it!
You’ll love it!
What a tasty recipe! This blows my bland toast out of the water! Can’t wait to start my day with this recipe!
Thanks Beth, you’re so nice!
Sarah, it was such a joy to meet you at PEI! I’m glad we got to spend time connecting 🙂
I couldn’t agree more!! It was so great getting to know you – you and your blog are so inspiring! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo
Looks yummy! I’ve always wanted to visit PEI too! How long does the Blueberry Honey Butter last? Do you just put in jars or use the water bath method? Thanks so much!!
Thanks Joyce! I honestly have no idea how long it would last – my family ate it within a matter of days! Lol! I just put it in jars, and then in the fridge, but you could definitely freeze it if you think it won’t be eaten up within a couple weeks. 🙂
This looks so good, I’m going to have to try making it. I’m so envious of your trip to PEI, I’ve always wanted to go there.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it! And yes- ever since I watched Anne of Green Gables when I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to go! It’s totally worth it! 🙂
Your labels make me wish I had a colour printer. Going to try the recipe. Huzzah.
Hope you enjoy the recipe! And I’ll let you in on a secret – even though I have a color printer, I usually have Fedex print off my stuff. Their printers are WAY better than mine! 😉 Thanks for the comment! xoxo
I love this recipe. Do I have to refrigerate it because it has berries in it?
It will probably keep longer in the fridge, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
