One of my favorite recipes to make when we have cranberries at home is whipped cranberry butter which I learned from MizzeryBell‘s YouTube video. I was absolutely shocked when I first made this spread because it turned out incredibly delicious. It has the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and tart flavors. It pairs well with a slice of bread, warm rolls, mashed potatoes, biscuits, muffins, or pancakes. Fresh cranberries are available in local grocery stores until mid-December, but some grocery stores carry frozen cranberries year-round. If you love butter and cranberries, make sure to try this recipe at home–I am sure you will love it.
