Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Ensure the butter is fully softened for easy mixing.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Mix using a hand mixer or whisk until creamy, smooth, and evenly combined.
  4. Taste and adjust by adding more honey for sweetness or cranberry sauce for extra tang if desired.
  5. Transfer the butter to a serving dish or airtight container.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

Orange zest adds a bright citrus note.

A pinch of cinnamon can deepen the flavor.

Whipped butter creates a lighter, fluffier texture.

Let the butter sit at room temperature briefly before serving for easy spreading.
