How to make honey butter jars
To make honey butter jars, whip the room temperature butter using a mixer until pale and fluffy. Pipe the butter on the sides of the jars and freeze until solid to the touch. Fill the jars with honey and tightly close with a lid. Secure a piece of fabric on top of each lid using an elastic band. To conceal the elastic band, tie a ribbon around each jar.

Honey Butter Jars
Servings: 4 (8-ounce) jars
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 10 minutes, plus chilling
Ingredients
- 550 g (19 oz) honey
- 350 g (12 oz) room temperature salted butter
You will also need:
Instructions
- Add the butter to a bowl (of a stand mixer, if using a stand mixer). Using a stand or electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add the whipped butter to a piping bag (with a star piping tip) or zip seal bag. Cut a hole in the tip of the bag.
- Make the honey butter jars: Pipe about 87 grams or 3 ounces of butter on the sides of each jar. Chill the jars in the freezer for 10 minutes, until the butter is solid to the touch. This will preserve the piped batter in the jar as you pour in the honey.
- Pour about 137 grams or 4.75 ounces of honey in the center of each jar (not directly on the piped butter stripes) in order to maintain their positioning.
- Close the honey butter jars with a lid. Place a fabric square on each lid. Place an elastic band on top of each piece of fabric to secure it on top of the lid and create a ruffled effect on the edges. Lastly, tie the fabric with a ribbon, on top of the elastic band.
- To serve, allow the honey butter to come to room temperature and swirl the two together as you scoop. For a longer shelf life, store the honey butter jars in the fridge, up to a few weeks.
