The recipe for strawberry butter served at Neiman Marcus is an easy, yummy spread for popovers (at Neiman Marcus) or biscuits (at my house:-).
I’ve not had the strawberry butter served at Neiman Marcus alongside their famous popovers and monkey bread, but I’ve made the recipe and enjoyed it on buttermilk biscuits. It is a unique and yummy spread that looks so pretty on a plate!
The recipes for both the strawberry butter and the popovers are found in Neiman Marcus Cookbook. The recipes in the book include all the dishes served at Neiman Marcus along with some history and interesting stories about the store and its founders.
I’ve never been to a Neiman Marcus restaurant but would love to if ever given the chance. A list of Neiman Marcus restaurants can be found here.
The recipe is only two ingredients~real butter and strawberry preserves~and is super easy. Whip the butter; stir in the preserves; refrigerate until serving. The mixture can be piped with a cake tip or pressed into small molds or ramkeins.
Preserves: The preface to the recipe states that Neiman Marcus uses “only the best strawberry preserves available.” My friend Teresa, who calls herself a “preserves snob,” insists that Bonne Maman is hands down the best brand of preserves sold in most stores. I agree, and that is what I use for this recipe.
Cook’s Note: The spread will last for two to three days, refrigerated in an airtight container. Bring spread to room temp before serving so that it will spread easily.
If you’ve ever enjoyed the “real thing” at a Neiman Marcus restaurant, I’d love to hear how you like it. If you have any fave dishes from there, let me know, and I’ll try to find a make the recipe.Thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!!!

Hi Barbara! I never have, but I’ll bet you could make some amazing spreads using other flavors! If you try any, please get back with us on comments so that we’ll know what works. Thanks for commenting!!
Have you ever tried any other flavor preserves or marmalade to make this? Perhaps peach or orange?
Teresa, I am so glad you shared this info! I bought the Bonne Maman yesterday per your recommendation:-) Although I do follow CI recommendations on some things, anyone who made preserves with her grandmother is the true “expert.” Thanks, savvy friend!!!
I beg to differ with Cook’s Illustrated on this one! I am a “preserves snob,” (the by-product of having freshly picked from the garden strawberries, blueberries, etc straight from the garden and making homemade preserves along side my grandmother)!
Hands down, Bonne Maman strawberry preserves is the best store-bought variety. I had to make my own until I found this delicious alternative.
Maybe CI didn’t like the price; it does cost more than Welch’s and the other brands, but it is absolutely worth it!
…and I look forward to trying the strawberry butter!
