Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and honey. Beat them together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
If using fresh cranberries, pulse them in a food processor until finely chopped. Skip this step if using cranberry sauce.
Add the cranberries, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt to the butter-honey mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or salt if needed.
Transfer the cranberry honey butter to a serving dish or jar, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best flavor.

Notes

You can add nuts such as pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Use flavored honey like lavender or orange blossom for a unique twist.
Try infusing the butter with fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme for a savory version.
