Mid-Morning Sweet Treats

Berry Delightful

Instructions

1. Add 1/4 cup powdered and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to softened butter. For best results, use good quality, unsalted butter.
2. Dump the whole mixture of butter and spread in the middle of the board.
3. Add strawberry jam. I zapped the jam in the microwave for 15 seconds just to make the mixture a little more spreadable, but depending on the consistency of the jam it may not be necessary. Although I choose to cover the entire butter mixture, I later decided putting a stripe down the middle would have been a better choice.
4. Sprinkle with nuts.
5. Add fruit around the perimeter of the butter ring and dust with powdered sugar.
6. Arrange the bread, waffles, etc. on the board and garnish with additional fruit.
