Gather your ingredients. Ensure your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and honey or maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Stir in the fresh orange zest and chopped cranberries until evenly distributed.

Add a pinch of sea salt, mix well, and adjust to taste.

Transfer the mixture onto a serving board and pair it with assorted breads or crackers.
