Cinnamon Honey Butter- Gifts in a Jar
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!

Cinnamon Honey Butter (recipe below)

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.

- wrap twine around lid and tie
- wrap tinsel pipe cleaner around lid and twist ends together
- add a small piece of “holly” ribbon to twine
- thread tag on to twine and tie

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
