Ingredients
Ingredients
- 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
- Soften the Butter: Ensure your unsalted butter is at room temperature to make blending easier. If pressed for time, microwave the butter for about 10 seconds carefully without melting it.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the butter mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or increase tanginess by adding more cranberry sauce according to your preference.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
- Serve: Serve the chilled cranberry honey butter spread on warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes to enjoy a festive holiday treat.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the butter spread.
- For a smoother texture, blend the cranberry sauce before mixing if it contains large pieces.
- This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow the butter to come to room temperature briefly before spreading if too hard straight from the fridge.
