"Ambrosia" Honey Butter Recipe

This is technically a honey butter recipe – but it's not your grandma's honey butter! After I made this delightful concoction for the first time, I decided on the name "Honey Butter Ambrosia," because this decadent spread truly feels like a food that's fit for the gods!

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup honey
3/4 lb 3 sticks butter softened
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Combine the sugar, cream, and honey in a saucepan, then place over medium-high heat on your stovetop.
Cook the mixture, stirring regularly, until it comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
Place the softened butter in your blender or food processor. Pour the hot sugar and cream mixture over the butter, then blend or pulse until well-mixed. Add the vanilla extract, then blend again.
Pour the finished honey butter spread into airtight containers. (The amount fills two pint-sized mason jars plus one half-pint jar almost exactly.)
Keep refrigerated. The honey butter will stay fresh in the fridge for about 6 weeks, or a few months if stored in the freezer.
