How to Gift Cinnamon Honey Butter in Jars
The sweet and creamy honey butter is unbelievable on just about anything and makes a darling gift in a jar!
Jar Supplies You Will Needed:
Cinnamon Honey Butter (recipe below)
fabric (I used unbleached muslin)
1″ circle paper punch (optional)
tiny hole punch (mine is 1/16″)
Let’s Make Honey Butter Gift Jars
First you want to cut three pieces of fabric in 5-inch circles
After you have made the honey butter (recipe below) and filled the clean jars, remove the rim from the jar lid and place fabric on the inner lid piece of filled mason jar then screw outer lid back on over fabric (sell below).
Next, using card stock and and your computer, print tags (or you can handwrite them for a more personal touch. I used the font “Cheryl Hand” , size 15, center alignment and I layed it all out using the template in Word for 1.6″ circle labels. Then printed on my card stock.
Cut out the cardstock tags with 1-inch punch (or you could cut out by hand).
Then use tiny whole punch (I used a 1/16th) to punch a hole on the tags to thread twine through.
Cut a long piece of twine for each jar and wrap it around each lid several times and tie in a knot.
Next, cut a piece of tinsel twine long enough to go around each lid with enough extra to twist togehter for each jar. Wrap each piece around lid and twist ends together.
Add a small piece of “holly” ribbon to twine on each jar and thread tags on to twine and tie.
And you’re done!!
Homemade food-related gifts, like this Cinnamon Honey Butter, are inexpensive to make, fun to create, and a joy to receive.
Don’t forget to make enough to have a jar for yourself!

You are looking so cute Cheryl and that’s why you shared a cute gifts cinnamon honey butter in a jar like you. I really loved to read entire things and will look forward to make one for sure:)
We are definitely trying these this year for gifts! How long would it last in the fridge safely? Another recipe I found had 2 weeks give or take, so wanted to put a “Eat me before:” date on it for family 🙂
it will keep as long as butter keeps – so just check the date on your butter before making it
made it tonight turned out awesome. will be using this as a gift for some clients
How are you keeping it chilled for the gifts?
Thanks 🙂
in the refrigerator

Does it need to stay cold when giving as a gift?
gift or not, it’s still butter and USDA and FDA guidelines say to keep butter refrigerated.
Salt in salted butter makes it less susceptible to bacterial growth, so it should be fine out on the counter but will last only about a week before going rancid. unsalted butter is best refrigerated
