Cranberry Orange Honey Butter
2 sticks butter ~ softened
3/4 cup dried cranberries (like Craisins)
Zest of 1 orange
1/3 cup honey (or more if you want it sweeter)
Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until blended. Scrape down the inside of the processor to ensure an even mixture.
Store in a covered container in the fridge.Bring to room temperature before serving.
Place in little jars to give as gifts or wrap in parchment paper.
Okay....here's all you need.
Plop everything into your food
processor and whirl away until
the mixture is combined. It's
okay if there are larger chunks
of the cranberries in there. That
makes it good. Just scrape down
the sides of the food processor
once in a while to get everything
combined really well.
Then put the butter in a
covered container! Chill!
If you want, you can wrap
small portions in parchment
paper as hostess gifts. Put
desired amount of butter
on a piece of parchment paper.
Bring the bottom of the paper over
the top and place a ruler or a pastry
scraper on the far side of the
paper...up against the butter.
Then holding on to the far side of
the paper, pull the ruler or scraper
toward you to gather up the butter
inside. It will look like a little log.
Then fold up the edges
and roll to close the paper.
Wrap with ribbon or twine, slap
on tag on it and you're good to go!
