A sweet and creamy butter spread infused with tangy cranberries and honey, perfect for holiday mornings or festive spreads.
Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp orange zest
Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Butter Base:
In a medium mixing bowl, whip the softened butter using a hand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add Flavorings:
Gently fold in the cranberry sauce, honey, orange zest, and cinnamon (if using) until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, leaving swirls of cranberry for a festive look.
Store the Butter:
Transfer the butter to a small glass jar or serving dish. Smooth the top with a spoon and add an extra dollop of cranberry sauce for decoration.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve at room temperature with warm rolls, biscuits, or pancakes.
