    Cranberry butter is a delicious spread for toast or bagels, but would also be right at home on a holiday charcuterie board.

    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.

    Scoop out the butter mixture with a rubber spatula and fill your jar.   Wipe the rims, and seal the jar tightly. Wrap them with the parchment paper and twine or wait until you’re ready to hand them out.

    You'll also love this Brown Sugar Compound Butter, which I really love serving with Pumpkin Bread and Sweet Potato Rolls.

    This holiday season, consider making a butter board with this cranberry butter. Sprinkle a few fresh or dried cranberries on top, maybe some chopped walnuts or pecans, and serve with crackers and toast points.

    If you're entertaining for Thanksgiving, use your cranberry butter and make pretty little butter rosettes.
