Cranberry Honey Butter with Orange Zest

Serving Ideas

Offer as a brunch condiment with baskets of rolls and toast, or pair with cornbread, scones, and breakfast breads where a

hint of citrus and honey complements each bite. A small knife or spreader encourages tidy, generous swipes.

Shaping & Presentation

• Ramekin: Spoon in and smooth the top; use the back of a spoon to create soft swoops.
• Compound butter log: Roll in parchment for a compact log; chill until firm enough for clean slices.
• Neat edges: If serving as a log, warm the knife slightly for smooth, tidy coins.

Make‑Ahead & Storage

Cover tightly and refrigerate until serving. For longer storage, keep chilled and bring just to cool room temperature before setting out so it spreads smoothly.

Leftovers should be kept covered and refrigerated; return to cool room temperature before using again.
