Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip the butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high for 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
3. Add the honey and vanilla extract; beat again until smooth and silky.
4. Fold in the chopped dried cranberries using a spatula.
5. Taste and mix in a pinch of sea salt if needed.
6. Transfer to a jar or ramekin and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use European-style butter for the fluffiest texture and deeper flavor.
Chop cranberries finely to ensure even distribution in every bite.
For a flavor twist, add a touch of orange zest or cinnamon.
