This recipe is so delicious because it combines already great-tasting salted high-fat European-style butter with honey and a touch of bourbon. Using salted, high-fat butter ensures that the flavor of the butter is the star of the show and that the honey and bourbon just sweeten the already great butter. I used Kerry Gold, but any premium butter will do! Pulgra, Danish Creamery, and Vermont Creamery are also fabulous.
Key Ingredients:
- Salted Butter: High-fat European-style butter is key because they have more fat and flavor than American table butter. Trust me; you won't go back to ordinary butter once you step up your butter game and use high-fat butter.
- Honey: Honey is what sweetens the butter. Use any honey you like! My favorite is clover honey because I like the deep flavor, but floral honey would also be great.
- Bourbon: Bourbon adds a bit of depth and warmth to the butter. My go-to butter for baking and cooking is Woodford Reserve, but also like Knob Creek, and Four Roses for cooking.

How shelf stable is this if I closed it up in jars? Can I add anything to it to make it shelf stable?

Hi! It should last about 2 weeks in the fridge

If you use clarified butter (store bought or homemade), it should last a couple of months in the refrigerator.
