**Print the full recipe from the RECIPE CARD at the bottom of this post

Place the softened butter into the bowl of a food processor; sprinkle with salt.

In a saucepan over medium high heat, bring the sugar, cream, and honey to a boil; cook one minute, stirring often.

Pour the hot honey butter mixture over the butter in the food processor; process until well combined. Add vanilla, then process once more until smooth.

Pour the honey butter spread into jars; let cool. Seal jars tightly with a lid. Store in refrigeration.

Honey butter spread will keep 6 weeks in the fridge and up to 6 months in the freezer. **If freezing, be sure to leave at least 1/2-inch head space when filling jars.

Answers to Common Questions Asked About This Recipe

How should I serve honey butter spread?

Honey butter spread is yummy served on warm toast or English Muffin Bread, as well as biscuits and hot rolls. It’s also delicious spread on sheet pan pancakes and crispy Belgian waffles.

How should honey butter be stored?

Because it’s a perishable, store honey butter in refrigeration for up to 6 weeks or in the freezer for up to 6 months. **If you are planning to freeze the honey butter once it’s poured into the jars, be sure to leave at least 1/2-inch head space since the honey butter will expand as it freezes.

Honey bread can be stored in any type of container, but I prefer glass jars with tight fitting lids.

Does honey butter spread make a nice gift?

I love to give honey butter as a hostess gift or as a gift for people that provide services for me, such as the UPS man, my nail lady, and my hair stylist – they are love special (surprise!) treats, especially when they are homemade.

Honey butter spread is also a fun gift to give during the holiday season, along with a load of homemade bread. It’s as delicious as it is useful for a family….who doesn’t love good food to eat?

Another way that’s fun to give Ambrosia honey butter spread as a gift is to include a set of spreaders along with it. These white porcelain spreaders are inexpensive and so are these colorful European-style spreaders.
