Food gifts are always a favorite of mine. These Cinnamon Honey Butter jars make a pretty presentation when you add a little bling to the jars, and pair with homemade bread, pound cake, biscuit mix or even bagels!
I’ve made several batches already, and we wont mention how much my family has devoured!
Warning……..you may want to double or triple the recipe because everyone is going to want some!

I love making different flavored butters. My family’s favorite is Honey Pecan Butter.
Thanks for this idea. Made this recipe and it is so yummy! I have cute little baskets and I’m going to put the jar along with a bag of bagels and a cute kitchen towel in for several gifts!

Just found your blog through The Inspired Room and have added you to my Reader! Love this idea- it would go great with my little homemade goody baskets I make for the holidays. Now if I could just get my 34 week pregnant self motivated to get them done

I just made this and it is very yummy! I think I will make some mini loaves to go with it… No fancy packaging though… This broke mama is recycling jars from the fridge… hope I can at least make a cute label
Thanks for the great idea!

I love new ideas for homemade gifts…thanks for a great post!
Awesome gift idea!
I like spanish christmas in navidad.es
In your photo, you’ve used ‘clover honey’ & ‘salted sweet cram butter’. Are they different from regular honey & butter? I’d love to make these because of the rave reviews!
Any pure honey and real butter is what you need.
Love this! Just wanted to let you know that I’m including it in my post “Top 10 Gifts in Jars” today Feel free to stop by and grab a button or link for your page to show that you are featured! Thanks!
I just made a small batch of this butter… I wanted to test it before making jars as gifts and it is CRAZY delicious!! Heading out tomorrow to buy some lovely jars to make gifts for all the teachers at my sons school. Thank you for taking the time to post this amazing idea…. So simple, So tasty and (thankfully) So different from the run-of-the-mill edible treats everyone seems to give!
