Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup, or agave)
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest (finely grated)
  • 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Ensure the unsalted butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Finely chop the dried cranberries and grate fresh orange zest.
  2. Beat together: In a small to medium bowl, add the softened butter, finely chopped cranberries, honey (or your chosen sweetener), orange zest, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and creamy.
  3. Transfer to container: Scoop the cranberry honey butter into a jar with a lid, or place it onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log for easy slicing.
  4. Store properly: Refrigerate the butter for up to 2 weeks, or freeze it for longer storage of up to 3 months to preserve freshness.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Use your cranberry honey butter spread on bread, pancakes, waffles, or enjoy it as a sweet dip for a delicious and festive flavor boost.
