Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Rinse and sort through the cranberries to ensure they are clean and free of debris.
In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries and water over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries have burst and softened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the cranberry mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to cream the softened butter until it's smooth and fluffy.
Add the cooked cranberries, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and salt to the butter. Stir or beat until all the ingredients are well combined and the butter is a uniform pink color.
Transfer the Cranberry Maple Butter to an airtight container. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up and meld the flavors.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your favorite bread, pastries, or roasted meats. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
