1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the cranberries and honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
4. Add the cooled cranberry mixture, salt, and orange zest (if using) to the butter. Mix until well combined, ensuring the cranberries are evenly distributed.
5. Transfer the cranberry honey butter to a serving dish or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Before serving, let the butter sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Variations & Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the butter mixture. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cranberry mixture before combining it with the butter. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey. You can also experiment with different citrus zests, such as lemon or lime, to add a unique twist to the flavor profile.
