Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams fresh cranberries
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries and 1 tablespoon of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries start to pop and soften (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter.
Step 3
Mash the cooked cranberries with a fork or blend them slightly if you prefer a smoother texture. Add the cranberry mixture to the butter.
Step 4
Stir in the honey, orange zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined and smooth. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
Step 5
Transfer the honey cranberry butter to a small serving dish or roll it into a log shape using parchment paper for a more decorative presentation.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving. Bring to room temperature for a spreadable consistency before use.
Step 7
Enjoy on toast, breakfast muffins, or as a luxurious addition to your holiday table!
