- Remove from heat and stir in orange zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Let the cranberry mixture cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Gradually add the cooled cranberry mixture to the butter, beating until well combined.
