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 facilitate easy blending with other ingredients. If short on time, microwave it for about 10 seconds without melting.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend using a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Sample the butter mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or tanginess by adding extra cranberry sauce, according to 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 your Christmas Cranberry Honey Butter by spreading it on warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes for a festive treat.

Notes

  • Use homemade cranberry sauce for a fresher taste or store-bought for convenience.
  • Softening the butter properly ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Adjust honey and cranberry sauce amounts to suit your taste preferences.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within one week for best flavor and safety.
