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

  1. Soften the Butter: Ensure your unsalted butter is at room temperature to make blending easier. If you’re short on time, microwave it for about 10 seconds, taking care not to melt it.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 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.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the cranberry honey butter and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or increase tanginess by adding more cranberry sauce according to your preference.
  4. Chill: Transfer the mixture into a decorative serving dish or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter spread on warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes for a delightful holiday treat.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the spread.
  • Cranberry sauce can be homemade or store-bought depending on convenience.
  • Adjust the honey and cranberry sauce proportions to suit desired sweetness or tartness.
  • For a smoother texture, ensure butter is fully softened before mixing.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and consume within one week.
