CRANBERRY BUTTER
This recipe comes from the 2002 cookbook, Cranberry Cooking for All Seasons. It's great on hot rolls & muffins of all kinds, but we really like it spread on a toasted slice of nutty, whole grain bread. Preparation time does not include the time needed for the soft butter to firm up in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, pressing together & mixing until well blended.
- Place the cranberry butter on a piece of plastic wrap & form into a log.
- Squeeze out (or blot with a paper towel) the excess liquid, then refrigerate until firm.
- Cut into rounds, then serve & enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the butter and sugar to combine smoothly and create a light and fluffy texture.
- Don't overbeat the butter and sugar mixture. Overbeating can cause the butter to separate from the sugar and create a grainy texture.
- Add the cranberries and orange zest to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Overmixing can cause the cranberries to break down and lose their shape.
- Chill the cranberry butter for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.
Conclusion:
Cranberry butter is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed on toast, muffins, scones, or pancakes. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted chicken or pork, or as a filling for pies and tarts. With its bright and festive flavor, cranberry butter is the perfect addition to any holiday table.
