Ingredients
  

For the Butter
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
  • 1/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce Use homemade or premium brands like Ocean Spray for best results.

Preparation
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the room temperature butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Increase the mixer speed to high and whip for 5-7 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until the butter is pale yellow and fluffy.
  3. Lower the mixer speed and add the cranberry sauce, honey, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
  4. Serve immediately on pastries, pancakes, or flaky biscuits, or transfer to plastic wrap, roll into a log shape, and refrigerate until firm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. You can also experiment with flavors by adding spices or different sweeteners.
