This Cranberry Butter is perfect for the holidays! I love making my own flavored compound butters.  They are just so easy, and yet impressive.  Garlic Chive Butter on baked potatoes is just heavenly! But if sweet is more your thing, you have to try my Brown Sugar Butter – both are so, so good on a stack of pancakes, or homemade toast.

This time of year, it’s nice to a have a few small things on hand for hostess gifts and this is one you can literally whip together in no time and keep in the refrigerator for about two weeks. 
 
Make up two or three ahead of time and just grab one on your way out the door. Add a fresh loaf of local bread or some tasty crackers and a pretty ribbon and you’ve got a thoughtful little gift.

Here’s how to make Cranberry Butter
