Cranberry Butter

This is a good accompaniment for toasted Pumpkin Bread and is also good on other hearty breads. The flecks of cranberries glow like little rubies.

Cranberry Butter

2 sticks butter, softened

1 stick margarine, softened

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

1-1/4 cups finely minced fresh cranberries*

1 tsp lemon juice

In mixing bowl combine 2 butter and margarine; beat until fluffy.  Add brown sugar, honey, and cranberries, and 1 tsp lemon juice.  Mix thoroughly.  Store in refrigerator.

*Note: if fresh cranberries are not available, you may use thawed frozen ones. The easiest way to handle mincing these little buggers is to use the chopping blade of a food processor, as they try to escape the knife and bounce all over!
