I'm back with another little mini post, and once again it's a compound butter! Possibilities really are endless out there for compound butters, and I'll have more here and there in the future as I use up previous ones! This time we have a bit of a cheater, but it's a good one. This recipe combines the flavors of honey, huckleberry and orange into one nice little spread. You could use huckleberry jam for a concentrated huckleberry flavor, but in this version here we're hitting two birds with one stone and using a pre-made huckleberry honey butter to make this even easier!

Special Tools Alert!
You will need something to get orange zest with for this recipe. I have a Microplane grater, but any grater/shredder that has a "fine" option will work.
Ingredients
1/2 Cup Butter (1 stick)1/2 Cup Huckleberry Honey
2 Oranges (for zest)
---------------------------------------
Directions
1. Make sure your butter is softened before starting
2. Zest your two oranges into a small bowl
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter with zest and huckleberry honey. Whisk to combine.
4. Really whip it with that whisk. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for longest shelf life. Otherwise, enjoy within about two weeks at room temp!

Tips/Tricks
Once again with compound butters, almost anything is possible. Toast up a Tablespoon of pecans or walnuts and then chop them up and you have yourself an even more complex and interesting whipped butter.
Perfect for breakfasts on toast or english muffins. A great topper for pancakes or waffles if you have a berry syrup to accompany it.
If you wanted to use huckleberry jam instead, use 1/4th Cup Jam and 1/4th Cup Honey to keep the proportions about the same.
