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!
How to Make Creamy Honey Butter
This butter is SUPER easy to make. Place some butter in a blender. In a saucepan, heat sugar, honey, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for one minute. Pour the honey mixture into the blender and blend until smooth. Pour the butter into jars and refrigerate.
How to Package Honey Butter for Gift Giving
- I packaged my butter inĀ Kerr Wide Mouth 8-oz Mason JarsĀ (http://amzn.to/2iwuauR).
- For the labels, I used a sheet ofĀ Avery Full-Sheet LabelsĀ (http://amzn.to/2iwZutj).
- I found the label design online atĀ World Label. You can find themĀ hereā>Ā Christmas Label Template. Scroll to the bottom of the post for the download.
- This recipe makesĀ six jars of Honey Butter. There are also exactly six labels on the template.
- To finish off the jars, IĀ tied Red & Green Bakers Twine around the edge. Perfect!
I like to include a loaf of homemade bread with a jar of butter. I bake the bread in this adorable Gingerbread Boy Cake Pan (https://amzn.to/2V90iHV). It is PERFECT for the holidays!

Would the starter travel well? I live in California, but I'll be visiting family in B'ham between Christmas and New Years…but I don't know if it would travel home with me well.
I think it would survive a plane ride and it would definitely be fine in the car
Finally took time today to make this honey butter….it was easy to make and it taste so good….I didn't want to stop! I will diffently make more and share with my family…Thanks for sharing your recipe.. : )

Um, yeah, this is gone. Mark and the kids put it away last night – I only got one bite. They inhaled it!
This sounds amazing! I'm making it right now. When you say makes "approx 6 cups", do you mean the recipe makes 6 half pint jars?
Answered my own question. This recipe made 5 cups for me which equaled 10 half pint jars. Thanks so much for the recipe! I can't wait to try it when it cools! Your blog is ah-ma-zing and I've pinned several recipes and actually made a few! š
Thank you for this recipe! Should you let the honey mixture cool down before adding to the butter?
No – I poured it over the butter hot.
Your bread recipe is the same one I use. I usually make three loaves of bread (8-in pans) from one recipe. Does this cute pan equal one 8-inch pan? That's the cutest thing I've ever seen. I'm ready to order the pan for next year!
This would make some people very happy when receiving it as a gift!
Hi, Stephanie, I would love some starter when you have some. I can meet you anytime!!! Girl, your blog is my fave!! Also, love that you are a fellow Auburn grad!!! WAR EAGLE š
Email me & we can set up a meeting!
Awesomeness! How did you make the bread in the shape of a gingerbread man? Thanks and I enjoy your blog.

I have a gingerbread man pan that I baked the bread in. It was made by NordicWare.
My 15 yr. old tried it on biscuits!! This was a fabulous Gift!!!
This may be a dumb question but…unsalted butter or salted butter?
I used unsalted butter.
I love this idea! I pinned and definitely want to make some!!
Thanks Yvonne! This stuff is like crack!!
I was one of the fortunate recipients of this gift. People, make this honey butter IMMEDIATELY. It's my new crack. š
I've been making a recipe similar to this for years. The only difference: an extra stick of butter. We like a little more butter flavor, but I agree with you – this stuff is divine!!!
I will try it with an extra stick of butter next time – thanks!
