Ensure the unsalted butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. If it's still firm, let it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before beginning.
Crush the pink peppercorns using a mortar and pestle or place them in a plastic bag and gently crush with a rolling pin until they are coarsely ground.
In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, crushed pink peppercorns, lemon zest, salt, and honey.
Use a spatula or a whisk to mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until evenly combined.
Transfer the flavored butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log by rolling and twisting the ends of the paper or wrap tightly.
Place the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up before serving.
When ready to use, slice off pieces of the butter and spread it on bread, use it as a topping for steaks or roasted vegetables, or melt it into sauces for added flavor.
