Fresh Strawberry Frosting

How can something so simple be so good? This Fresh Strawberry Frosting is a great way to dress up a little 8x8 cake. The only thing that could possibly make it any better would be local berries in season.
 I love the pretty natural pink color and that's from only 3 Tblsp of fresh strawberry puree!

1/2 C ripe strawberries pureed, or enough for 3 Tblsp puree-I used a food chopper
1/2 C butter, slightly softened
pinch of salt
1 1/4 C powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 tsp vanilla
  1. Beat butter and salt until light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in powdered sugar until well combined.
  3. Add vanilla and 3 Tblsp strawberry puree. Important: Mix until just blended, do not over mix. It should be thick and creamy like ice cream. If you over mix it can separate... I'm speaking from experience here folks:@)
