I’ve not made this butter with frozen berries, so I can’t tell you how it will turn out. I will recommend that you let the berries at least partially thaw before you put them in the Vitamix, just so it’s a little easier on the machine.

Can I use frozen berries? If so, would I need to let them thaw first or could I throw them in my Vitamix right from the freezer? I have been making yogurt in my slow cooker and I think this blueberry butter might just be the perfect topping, but it’s winter here in MN and the fresh blueberries are not much to be desired. Thanks!

thanks marissa – i’m not a super-inventive cook, especially with a process like canning and preserving, to which i am quite new. i like to try a recipe as it’s written first and then see if/how i might change it. just wanted some ideas on what the preferred viscosity would be at the end. should it be like whipped honey? like soft butter? like jam?
