How to Make Orange Maple Butter

  1. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest, and a pinch of ground red pepper (or more, to taste).
  2. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the butter is smooth and creamy.
  3. For best results, allow the Orange Maple Butter to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
  4. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
