Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Cranberries: Rinse cranberries under cold water, then cook in a saucepan with 1/4 cup of water over medium heat until they pop, about 5-7 minutes.
- Softening the Butter: Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature until soft and spreadable.
- Mixing the Ingredients: Combine softened butter with cranberry compote, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl, and blend until fluffy.
- Final Taste Test: Adjust sweetness with more honey or tartness with extra cranberry compote if desired.
- Storing the Butter: Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour to set.
- Serving Preparation: Bring the butter out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving to soften.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two weeks.
