Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by washing the fresh cranberries thoroughly under cold water. Then, place them in a saucepan with a splash of water over medium heat. Allow the cranberries to simmer until they burst and release their juices, about 10-15 minutes.
-
Once the cranberries have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly, remove them from the heat and let them cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the cooled cranberry mixture to the butter mixture. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend everything together until the cranberries are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
-
Taste the cranberry butter and adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preference.
-
Spoon the cranberry butter into a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
