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. It didn’t have a link to a website. It was just a photo of a jar of this golden butter and the recipe. I gave it a try and it was great! I could seriously drink this stuff with a straw! 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 cream over 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.

How to Package Homemade Honey Butter for Gift Giving

I packaged my butter in Kerr Wide Mouth 8-oz Mason Jars (http://amzn.to/2iwuauR).
- You can use any glass jar.
For the labels, I used a sheet of Avery Full-Sheet Labels (http://amzn.to/2iwZutj).
I found the label design online at World Label. You can find them here–> Christmas Label Template. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the download.
This recipe makes six jars of Homemade Honey Butter. There are also exactly six labels on the template.
To finish off the jars, I tied Red & Green Bakers Twine around the edge. Perfect! You could even add a mini spatula to go with the jar.

This homemade butter is dangerously delicious. It goes with everything! Pancakes, waffles, banana bread, toast, muffins, corn on the cob, pumpkin bread, and more! Heck, I could eat it off the spoon and be happy! Give this butter a try ASAP! One taste and it is sure to become a family favorite!
