Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the cranberries and orange juice in a small or medium size saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil for 10 minutes.
- Drain the cranberries and set them aside to cool.
- Place the softened butter, powdered sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Beat the ingredients together with an electric mixer until creamy.
- Stir the cranberries in with the butter to combine.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use good quality butter. I recommend using a good quality butter for the best flavor.
- Let the butter soften. Soften the butter to room temperature to make it easy to mix.
- You can adjust the sweetness. If you prefer your butter less sweet, you can reduce the powdered sugar to 1/4 cup. If you want it really sweet, you can add a little extra powdered sugar.
- Let the cranberries cool before mixing. Once the cranberries finish boiling, drain the orange juice off of them and let the cranberries cool.
- Let the butter chill in the refrigerator to combine. The longer the butter sits, the more the flavors come together.
