Cranberry Butter {Merry Berry Christmas}

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 cup water

Instructions

  • Place all of the ingredients into a small-medium saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat until the cranberries start to pop & become soft - stirring frequently.
  • Remove from the heat & CAREFULLY use an immersion blender (gently pulsing) to blend the cranberry mixture until smooth. You can also carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, blend and then return to the saucepan for the rest of the cooking process. (use common sense - if it is splattering the hot mixture from the blender, go slowly or carefully transfer to a container that allows for easier blending)
  • Return the blended mixture to the stovetop, continuing to heat over medium and allow the mixture to thicken for several minutes - stirring frequently.
  • The cranberry butter is ready when it coats the back of a spoon.
  • Transfer to sterile jars and allow it to cool completely on the counter before refrigerating.
  • Store in the refrigerator. Freeze whatever you won't use within 10 days. You might want to keep the frozen portion in freezer-safe containers.
