Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 20 minutes until the berries pop and are soft. I like to use a potato masher to help them along
Remove it from the heat and puree it using an immersion blender, a stand blender or a food processor.
Store it in a jar or another airtight container for up to three months if it is not opened. Use opened jars within one month.
Make sure to let it come to room temperature before placing it in the fridge.
Optional Canning Instructions. Ladle the butter into pint or half-pint jars, leaving a ¼-inch headspace. Remove the air bubbles with a bubble tool or a plastic or wooden chopstick. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel or kitchen towel to clean off debris. Center lid. Screw on the band's fingertip tight. Process jars for 10 minutes.
