Place strawberries in the bowl of a small food processor;
process until pureed. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with
the paddle attachment, beat together butter and salt on medium
speed until light and fluffy. Reduce mixer speed and slowly add
confectioners' sugar; beat until well combined. Add vanilla and 3
tablespoons strawberry puree (save any remaining strawberry
puree for another use); mix until just blended. Do not overmix
or frosting will incorporate too much air. Frosting consistency
should be dense and creamy, like ice cream.
