Christmas Cranberry Butter Recipes

CRANBERRY BUTTER

Steps:

• Zest the two oranges into the Instant Pot.
• Squeeze the juice of both oranges into a glass measuring cup. Mine produced about 2/3 cup of orange juice. Fill with water to reach 1 cup of liquid. (So if your oranges produce 1/2 cup of juice then you will need 1/2 cup water added).
• Pour the water, cranberries and the brown sugar into the Instant Pot. Stir together to mix.
• Set the Instant Pot to High Pressure for 10 minutes. Let the Instant Pot cool completely or after ten minutes use the quick release function to release the built up steam.
• Puree the cranberry-orange mixture in a Vitamix or other high speed blender. Pour into glass mason jars or other containers.
• Cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

CHRISTMAS BUTTER

Steps:

• Put your butter into a bowl. Really finely chop the cranberries and add to the bowl.
• Pick the thyme, rosemary and sage leaves, then chop, sweep and run your knife through the herb leaves until really finely chopped. Add to the butter with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
• Grate in the zest of your clementine and mix so the butter softens and everything is combined. Divide the butter roughly in half.
• Get your turkey and use a spoon to work your way between the skin and the meat. Start at the side of the cavity just above the leg and work gently up toward the breastbone and towards the back so you create a large cavity.
• Pick up half of your butter and push it into the cavity you've created. Use your hands to push it through the skin right to the back so it coats the breast meat as evenly as possible. Do the same on the other side, then rub any leftover butter all over the outside of the bird to use it up.
• If you've got any herb stalks left over, put them in the cavity of the turkey for added flavour as it cooks.
• Cover the turkey in clingfilm and put in the fridge until you're ready to cook it the next day.
