"i was watching a friends grandson and saw this recipe in a flyer on her table. I copied it on a napkin and thought I would post it here for safe keeping. I plan on making this for Christmas morning. I think this was be wonderful on good raisin bread toast. I counted the freezing time as cooking time. I made this butter for Christmas morning. This is so good. I plan on making a Cranberry, Orange, Nut bread to go with it."
