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!
