This Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter is a festive and flavorful spread perfect for holiday breakfasts and snacks. Creamy softened butter is blended with sweet honey, tangy cranberry sauce, and a hint of vanilla to create a smooth, delicious butter that pairs beautifully with warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes.

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. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients. If you're short on time, you can microwave it for about 10 seconds—just make sure it doesn’t melt!
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: After mixing, taste your cranberry honey butter. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey. For a tangier flavor, incorporate a bit more cranberry sauce.
  4. Chill: Transfer the butter into a decorative serving dish or an airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, your Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter is ready to serve! Spread it on warm biscuits, toast, or even pancakes for a delightful holiday treat.

Notes

  • Use softened butter at room temperature for easier blending and a creamier texture.
  • If fresh cranberries are available, make homemade cranberry sauce for a fresher taste.
  • Adjust honey and cranberry sauce to suit your preferred sweetness and tartness.
  • Keep the butter chilled until ready to serve to maintain the best consistency.
  • This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
