Cranberry Brown Sugar Butter Spread #CapeCodSelect
While doing recipe testing for Cape Cod Select Holiday Blogger Recipe Challenge, I was planning to create a cranberry based beverage and a Hot Buttered Rum drink was the idea.
Cape Cod Select sells the most plump fresh frozen cranberries. I simply cooked the frozen berries with a bit of water until they burst before pulsing them smooth.
For a smoother spread, I blended the room temperature butter with the brown sugar before adding the ingredients to the cranberries.
The spread stiffens a bit after it is refrigerated but them glides over warm items like waffles and pancakes. Yum!!!
Wrap a bow around the jar and they make a great gift.
