There are so many ways to transform ordinary butter into a delectable creation. This Cranberry Honey Butter is so delicious and easy to make. You will want to make bread often so you can find an excuse to eat this every day. Adding fiber and vitamins to butter totally makes it healthier, right?

I love November because you start seeing fresh cranberries at the store. I LOVE cranberries! They are such an amazing fruit. According to WebMD, one cup of raw cranberries include:

  • 25% of your daily requirement of vitamin C
  • About 9% of your daily requirement of vitamin A
  • About 6% of your daily requirement of vitamin K
  • 2% of your daily requirement of potassium
  • 1% of your daily requirement of iron and calcium
  • 8% of your daily requirement of vitamin E
  • 16% of your daily requirement of manganese
  • 7% of your daily requirement of copper
  • 8% of your daily requirement of B-complex vitamins

So, adding fresh cranberries where you can is definitely add good things to your diet.

The cranberry honey butter is best served at room temperature. If it is too cold, it won’t spread well. You can also add less fresh cranberries if you want the honey butter to be more smooth and less chunky. I love lots of cranberries, but feel free to adapt as you want.
