What can I use Cranberry Butter For?

This butter goes so well with so many things. It can be added in recipes, or added when butter is called for in a recipe to create a totally unique flavor. The following items are different ways that we have used this butter.

• Rolls
• Toast
• Waffles
• Pancakes
• Turkey at Thanksgiving (spread a little over the top of a slice!)

• So much more! 

Tips & Tricks for Making Cranberry Butter

This recipe is so stinkin’ simple. Three ingredients + water. Five minutes. You’re ready to go. But here are a few tips and tricks to help out.

• Make sure your sticks of butter are at room temperature. Allow at least 30 minutes for them to reach a soft stage.
• I have not made this recipe with frozen cranberries. Can it be done? Probably. I’d only worry about added moisture. I use fresh.
• The amount of sugar that the recipe calls for can vary really more on taste. My cranberries were tart, but they were also pretty sweet so I didn’t use much sugar at all. You can adjust. Start low and add as you go.
• I like to refrigerate my cranberry butter for about a half hour before

Total Time 35 mins

Course Condiments Sauces and Dips

Cuisine American

Servings 1 cup of whipped cranberry butter

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup fresh cranberries room temperature
• ¼ cup cold water
• 1 cup butter softened
• ¼ cup powdered sugar more or less to taste

Instructions

 

• In a blender, puree the cranberries and water for about 2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. If you need to add a little more water to really get a good puree, add a tablespoon at a time.
• Add the sugar and blend again for about 30 seconds.
• Add the room temperature butter and blend for 1-2 minutes or until everything is well combined and the butter is a more "whipped texture".
• You can serve immediately, but I like to refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving.
• Keeps for up to one week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
