Description

This Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter combines the tartness of cranberry sauce with the natural sweetness of honey, blended with creamy unsalted butter and a hint of vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale

Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Ensure your unsalted butter is at room temperature to make blending easier. If short on time, microwave for about 10 seconds without melting it completely.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the butter and add more honey for sweetness or more cranberry sauce for tartness according to your preference.
  4. Chill: Transfer the mixture into a decorative dish or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
  5. Serve: Spread chilled cranberry honey butter on warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes and enjoy a festive holiday treat.

Notes

  • You can use homemade or store-bought cranberry sauce depending on convenience and flavor preference.

  • Keep the butter chilled if not serving immediately to maintain texture and flavor.
  • This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
