Instructions
Let the butter sit at room temperature until soft but not melted. If necessary, heat in microwave on medium heat for a few seconds until it's soft enough to be stirred...but not melted.
In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients, the softened butter, honey, chopped dried cranberries, orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Store in an airtight container. If you want to make a log of butter, scoop the butter mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape, twisting the ends of the parchment/plastic to seal.
If you want a stick of butter, flatten the log on four sides on a hard surface.
Chill. Refrigerate the butter for at least 1-2 hours to firm up. Store in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
