Pink Frosting for Miranda

1/2 cup butter, softened
4 strawberries, hulled & cut up
2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup half-and-half (or similar)
1 tsp vanilla
In a medium bowl cream butter until pale and fluffy (this could be done in an electric mixer but I wouldn't, of course). Add the strawberries and beat 30 seconds. Add confectioner's sugar (on low if using a mixer), 1/2 cup at a time, until well-blended. Add cream by spoonfuls until blended. Add vanilla and beat until fully incorporated.
