Whip 1/2 cup of softened butter in a blender, add the raspberries. Switch to the paddle attachment. The berries should break immediately. Lay a long sheet of plastic wrap over aluminum foil, then put the berry butter into a long log shape. Carefully roll the butter inside the plastic wrap, then inside the foil. Twist the edges of the foil.

Do the same with the blackberry butter.

Continue to twist the foil in the opposite directions.

Freeze or refrigerate for several hours.
