In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and honey together with a hand mixer or a whisk until smooth and fluffy.
Add the Cranberries and Zest:
Fold in the cranberries and orange zest (if using) until well combined. Ensure the cranberries are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Shape or Store:
Transfer the mixture to a small bowl or ramekin for serving, or place it on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it into a log. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve:
Spread this delicious butter over warm bread, rolls, pancakes, or waffles. It also pairs wonderfully with roasted turkey or ham.
Notes:
You can use dried cranberries for convenience; no cooking is necessary. Simply chop them finely before mixing.
Store the butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the butter mixture.
