Homemade Honey Butter

Every year I make a homemade treat to give to friends and neighbors. This year I am giving this Creamy Honey Butter and a loaf of homemade bread. I found this recipe on Pinterest.

This butter has the BEST flavor! I always have a jar in the fridge.

How to Make Creamy Honey Butter

This butter is SUPER easy to make with only four simple ingredients. Place butter in a blender. Set aside. In a saucepan, heat sugar, honey, and heavy whipping creamover medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for one minute. Remove from heat. Pour the honey mixture into the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the butter into mason jars and store in the refrigerator.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

I use unsalted butter.
- You can substitute salted butter if you prefer or add a pinch of kosher salt or sea salt to the blender.
- The butter can be cold, softened, or at room temperature.
Feel free to add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or to taste.
- Another good variation is to add some cinnamon for a cinnamon honey butter recipe.
If you don’t have a blender, use a hand mixer, stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or food processor.
Storage: Store butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
