Homemade Honey Butter Recipe - So EASY! Just Melt 1 cup sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup honey + pour over 3 sticks butter. Mix & add to a jar. YUM!

A couple weeks ago I made some Homemade Honey Oat Bread. Homemade bread as a gift to a neighbor or friend is good enough on it’s own, but this week I wanted to make another loaf and make it extra special by adding a jar of one of my favorite recipes that I grew up with. Homemade Honey Butter.

Honey Butter Recipe

Funny story- when we were kids, my mom made some honey butter and put it in an old margarine tub. For dinner we had hot fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy. We like butter on our potatoes, so naturally we grabbed the tub of margarine and put it on our potatoes. All us kids were gagging and telling mom that it didn’t taste right. She would not listen and made us eat every bite, the cruel woman! Later she found out what had happened and felt pretty bad but it gave us all a good laugh.

So I’m going to share this amazing honey butter recipe with you, but please be warned, it is highly addictive, may put you into a diabetic coma, and some, some might even be tempted to grab a straw and guzzle it down. I called my mother cruel earlier because of making us eat this stuff with mashed potatoes, but really she is cruel for introducing this delicious concoction to me, it can’t be good for my health. 🙂 What makes things worse, is just how easy this recipe is to make. It’s dangerous I tell you…..you’ll see.

Delivering a Jar of this stuff would be so great to receive on it’s own, but I loved pairing it with my homemade honey oat bread recipe. I ain’t gonna lie. For this weeks happy thought post, I decided to treat myself instead of deliver it to the intended recipient. I’m sorry, okay?! Woman’s, gotta eat. The hot warm bread that I baked, sliced and steaming hot, needed some homemade honey butter drizzled on it. We gobbled up a whole loaf and a whole jar in one night. Don’t Judge me people! I think eating the bread and honey butter myself was a very happy thought, and it did make me happy…. in the moment anyways.

Although this wasn’t delivered I still created a darling tag for the honey butter. I also made sure it matched the bread tag so that you could pair it and the Honey Oat Bread together. I think it makes a beautiful homemade gift.

Here is the free printable – just click on the image below or this link, and save it to your computer. Then print away!

    Haven’t tried this yet as I was turned off when it said to boil the honey. That takes away honeys nutrient benefits. Is there any way to maybe add the honey after he mixture cools some?

    You don’t mention if it’s unsalted, or salted butter in the recipe. I think that’s kind of a good thing to know, as it effects flavor of final product.

    Yummy stuff. How long does it keep in the fridge?

      As long as the butter is good – so usually about a week or two!

        WAY longer than that! I made a bunch last Christmas, and it is still exactly the same.

        Really yummy! One of my favorite gifts to give. Thanks for the fun recipe. We even used it at my son’s wedding reception dinner!

    PS… I like your attitude, however, and as a newby in the kitchen, I’d like to learn how to make bread, (without burning down the kitchen hopefully 🙄), And am interested in your honey oat bread recipe, (As long as I don’t have to have bread as an ingredient?….
    Lol.
    (Darn it- Reading back on this… I’m really not mean- I just have a dry sense of humor!🥺)
    💃🏼💃🏼👍🏻

      I get you, it’s okay. I think you’d like the recipe instead that I added to your last comment. 🙂

    Why do you add butter, to MAKE butter… It would be like adding Cheese, to make Cheese (?)…
    And why would it have to be refrigerated (?)… I keep a stick of unsalted butter at room temperature, (and I’m in FLA!), for a week or more- (it usually doesn’t last that long), w no problems.
    So… if you give this jar of butter as a gift, and they have to refrigerate it… Does it become hard?
    I’d like it if I could give someone a loaf of homemade bread, with a jar that they can keep on the counter and just enjoy it anytime…

      So this recipe is more like a honey butter thick syrup, not like the honey butter you’d spread on toast. For that recipe you’d go here: https://happymoneysaver.com/homemade-flavored-butter-recipes/ This one has to be refrigerated because it has fresh whipping cream in it. Can’t leave that out at room temp.

    Want to know why when I tried this recipe for honey butter, when cooled, the honey goes to the bottom of the jar?

    Could you use half and half instead of heavy cream?

      It may not come out as rich or buttery, so I’m gonna say no on that one…

    Why do you need to add sugar?
