Instructions

Soften the Butter: Ensure your unsalted butter is at room temperature to make blending easier. If short on time, microwave it for about 10 seconds, taking care not to let it melt.
Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything until smooth and creamy.
Taste and Adjust: Sample the butter and add more honey if you want it sweeter, or more cranberry sauce for extra tanginess.
Chill: Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
Serve: Once chilled, serve your cranberry honey butter spread on warm biscuits, toast, or pancakes for a delightful holiday treat.

Notes

Use softened butter for easier mixing and a smooth texture.
Adjust sweetness or tartness by varying honey and cranberry sauce amounts.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but can be stored chilled for up to one week.
Bring to room temperature before serving if straight from the fridge for easier spreading.
Can be made with homemade cranberry sauce or store-bought for convenience.
