Cranberry Cinnamon Honey Butter

I love making compound butters of all sorts–the possibilities are endless! My vanilla bean butter remains one of my favorites, so much vanilla goodness packed into it! Or try pumpkin-honey butter or gingerbread butter. Perfect for fall.
About this cranberry cinnamon honey butter
This butter is perfect on any bread, but on toasted bread? Oh my. It melts down and the cranberries almost turn into a jelly-jam type substance.
It. Is. So. Good.
Also, I’d highly recommend spreading it on this homemade oat bread. The flavors are just perfect for each other.
Almost as if they were made for each other.
Oh wait, they are.
P.S. Try this cranberry cinnamon honey butter on whole wheat pancakes! So delicious! It would be so good on pumpkin bran muffins, too.

Would love to make this butter with the bread for Christmas gifts! How much does it make? Wanting to fill the smallest canning jars.
Thank you!
It uses 1 stick of butter so it makes just over 1/2 cup.
This is DELICIOUS Rachel! I just made it. Super easy and very yummy. I’m serving it with homemade beer bread for Thanksgiving. I didn’t think it made a large enough batch, so I ended up using the same ingredients with mascarpone cheese instead of butter… so now I have 2 different yummy options. Thanks for the recipe! :) :) Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
