Chris’s Cranberry Butter
Recipe Courtesy of Chris Riley
Ingredients
- 4 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
- ½ cup cranberries coarsely chopped (if frozen, chop then thaw)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 tablespoons ground walnuts
- ½ cup cranberry sauce*
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
Instructions
- Place the softened butter in a large bowl and whip at high speed with an electric mixer until it turns pale yellow, scraping the sides of the bowl to make sure all of the butter gets whipped. Add the coarsely chopped cranberries, brown sugar, hone, ground walnuts, cranberry sauce and orange zest and lemon zest. Add the buttermilk and whip until incorporated. (Makes 1 1/3 pounds.)
Notes
If using commercial whole cranberry sauce, empty the can into a small bowl, stir to loosen the sauce, and then measure.
