This cranberry cinnamon honey butter is the perfect topping for toast. Easy to make in five minutes in a food processor. Don’t serve boring bread!
I love making compound butters of all sorts–the possibilities are endless! My vanilla bean butter remains one of my favorites, so much vanilla goodness packed into it! Or try gingerbread butter. Perfect for fall.
About this cranberry cinnamon honey butter
This butter is perfect on any bread, but on toasted bread? Oh my. It melts down and the cranberries almost turn into a jelly-jam type substance.
It. Is. So. Good.
Also, I’d highly recommend spreading it on this homemade oat bread. The flavors are just perfect for each other.
Almost as if they were made for each other.
Oh wait, they are.
P.S. Try this cranberry cinnamon honey butter on whole wheat pancakes! So delicious! It would be so good on pumpkin bran muffins, too.

This cranberry cinnamon honey butter is the perfect topping for toast.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Blend all ingredients together in food processor until well incorporated. Scrape down sides as needed. I have a small-sized food processor and needed to scrape down the sides frequently.
Scrape the butter into a small serving bowl. If desired, form into a log on plastic wrap, wrap completely and refrigerate until firm.
Best served at room temperature but store in refrigerator when not using.
Notes
- Serving size: 1/2 tablespoon.
- Try this compound butter with homemade Cranberry Walnut Oat Bread. It’s so good!

Can this cranberry butter be canned?

I don’t think so. :) Thankfully it’s pretty easy to whip up!

Could this butter be sweetened with maple syrup instead of honey since the cranberry bread has maple syrup as an ingredient ?

Yes, definitely! That will be delicious.

Would love to make this butter with the bread for Christmas gifts! How much does it make? Wanting to fill the smallest canning jars.
Thank you!Reply

It uses 1 stick of butter so it makes just over 1/2 cup.

This is DELICIOUS Rachel! I just made it. Super easy and very yummy. I’m serving it with homemade beer bread for Thanksgiving. I didn’t think it made a large enough batch, so I ended up using the same ingredients with mascarpone cheese instead of butter… so now I have 2 different yummy options. Thanks for the recipe! :) :) Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
