8 tablespoons (1 stick) sweet butter, room temperature
1/3 cup of strawberry, raspberry, or apricot jam or orange marmalade (almost any kind of jam will work)
fruit
1 teaspoon confectioner's sugar

These easy to make show-stoppers are wonderful on many kinds of bread. Make as many different flavors as you have sticks of butter!

Cream ingredients together.

Chill in small crocks or container until ready to serve.

Serve butters in small crocks or as colorful intermixed sliced pats on an elegant dish.

Can it be prepared ahead of time? Yes. Butters can last for up to a week in the refrigerator and for months in the freezer.
