Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium pan, combine 1 cup honey, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 cup sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
- Boil the Mixture: Once boiling, continue to boil the mixture gently for 1 minute while stirring to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the ingredients meld.
- Blend with Butter: Place 1½ cups butter into a blender. Carefully pour the hot honey mixture over the butter. Pulse the blender repeatedly until the butter and honey mixture are thoroughly blended into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Store and Chill: Pour the creamy honey butter into jars or containers and refrigerate until firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a spreadable texture.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter for better control over the saltiness of the final product.
- Be cautious when pouring the hot honey mixture over the butter to avoid splashes.
- This honey butter can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks.
- Allow the honey butter to soften slightly at room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
- For a flavored variation, add cinnamon or vanilla extract during blending.
