Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup finely chopped dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
- Begin by ensuring the butter is softened at room temperature. Softened butter is essential for creating a smooth, spreadable consistency. You can speed up the softening process by cutting the butter into smaller chunks and leaving it at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or using the microwave in short 5-second intervals if you’re in a hurry.
- Once your butter is softened, place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer, stand mixer, or simply a spatula to cream the butter until it becomes smooth and fluffy. This process will help ensure that the other ingredients incorporate evenly into the butter.
- Next, add the finely chopped dried cranberries to the butter. It’s important to chop the cranberries into small pieces to prevent any large chunks from disrupting the smoothness of the spread. The cranberries should be evenly distributed throughout the butter, adding pops of tartness to each bite.
