Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Use real butter for the best result.
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce Chunky or smooth according to your preference.
  • 1/4 cup honey Adjust based on the sweetness of the cranberry sauce.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a lovely aroma.
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon For additional warmth.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cranberry sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  • Gather everything at room temperature for easy blending, and break the cranberry sauce into small bits if it is chunky.

Mixing

  • Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until well combined and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape the sides to ensure even blending.

Serving

  • Transfer to a serving dish and serve with bread or muffins. Optionally shape it into a log or place it in a nice jar.

Storage

  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Let it soften at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a firmer spread, chill briefly before serving if it seems too soft. Taste as you go and adjust honey and cinnamon as desired. For a gift, pack in a jar and label with serving suggestions.
