- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions
- Prepare the Butter Base: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or spatula until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a light and spreadable texture.

- Chill to Meld Flavors: Transfer the cranberry honey butter mixture to a small serving bowl or shape it into a log with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
