Recipe: Brandy Butter Jars

As Christmas approaches, it’s time to prepare those festive essentials that make the season truly special. One staple for any holiday feast is brandy butter—a rich, creamy accompaniment to mince pies, Christmas pudding, and other indulgent desserts.

Our 190ml round jars are the perfect size to store this delicious treat, making it easy to serve and gift during the holiday season. In this blog, we’ll share a simple yet irresistible recipe for homemade brandy butter and tips on how to store and present it beautifully in glass jars.

Why Make Brandy Butter at Home?

Store-bought brandy butter might be convenient, but nothing compares to the taste and texture of homemade. Crafting it yourself allows you to control the quality of ingredients, adjust the flavour to your liking, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something from scratch.

Homemade brandy butter also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift. Presented in a charming 190ml round jar, it’s a personalised gesture that friends and family will appreciate.

Easy Homemade Brandy Butter Recipe

Ingredients:

• 100g unsalted butter (softened)

• 100g icing sugar (sifted)

• 2-3 tablespoons brandy (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cream the Butter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.

2. Add the Sugar: Gradually sift in the icing sugar, mixing well to create a smooth, creamy consistency.

3. Incorporate the Brandy: Slowly add the brandy, one tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until fully combined. Adjust the amount to suit your taste.

4. Add Vanilla (Optional): For an extra hint of sweetness, mix in the vanilla extract.

5. Store in Jars: Spoon the brandy butter into a clean, sterilised 190ml round jar. Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Storing Your Brandy Butter

Glass jars are the ideal storage solution for brandy butter. Our 190ml round jars not only preserve the freshness and flavour but also make it easy to portion and serve.

• Sterilise First: Ensure the jar is sterilised before use to prolong the shelf life of your brandy butter.

• Refrigerate: Store the jar in the fridge, where it will keep for up to two weeks.

• Bring to Room Temperature: Before serving, allow the butter to soften at room temperature for easy spreading.

Gifting Brandy Butter in 190ml Round Jars

Homemade brandy butter in a glass jar is a delightful gift for Christmas. Here’s how to present it beautifully:

• Add a Festive Touch: Tie a red or green ribbon around the jar's neck and attach a handwritten tag with the recipe or serving suggestions.

• Personalise: Decorate the jar with custom labels or festive stickers to make it extra special.

• Pair It Up: Combine the jar with a pack of mince pies or a bottle of dessert wine for a complete holiday treat.
