Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Place the fresh cranberries in a small saucepan and add 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over medium heat until the cranberries begin to burst and soften, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cranberries to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl or food processor, combine the softened butter, cooked cranberries, honey, orange zest, and a pinch of salt.
Blend or mix until the ingredients are fully combined, and the butter is fluffy and smooth. Adjust honey or salt to taste based on preference.
Transfer the cranberry butter to a small container or serving dish. For storage, cover with plastic wrap or lid and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Before serving, allow the butter to soften at room temperature for easy spreading.
