Ingredients

16 oz Heavy Cream or 2 sticks softened butter
1 tsp Sea Salt
2 tbsp Honey
1/3 cup Candied Jalapeños (Cowboy Candy)

Instructions

Homemade Butter

Whipping the cream: Pour cold heavy cream into a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Start the mixer on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high. Whip the cream until it thickens and begins to form stiff peaks, similar to whipped cream. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Continue Mixing: Keep mixing beyond the whipped cream stage. The cream will start to clump and separate into butter and buttermilk. This process can take an additional 5-10 minutes.
Strain the Buttermilk: Once the butter has fully separated from the buttermilk, turn off the mixer. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl and pour the mixture into the strainer to separate the butter from the buttermilk. Reserve the buttermilk for other uses, like baking or cooking.
Rinse the Butter: Transfer the butter to a clean bowl and rinse it under cold water. Use a spatula to press the butter and squeeze out any remaining buttermilk. Continue rinsing and pressing until the water runs clear. This step will help your butter last for an extended period of time and shouldn't be skipped.

Jalapeño Honey Butter

To the butter, add the sea salt, honey, and diced candied jalapeños.
Either whip again in the mixer or use a spatula or fork to fold and mix everything together. Once combined, test taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Place the jalapeno honey butter onto parchment and shape into a log, twisting the sides tightly to add pressure.
Store in the fridge for a few hours to chill and solidify. Slice into rounds or place in a dish for serving with biscuits, cornbread, etc.

Notes

Store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
