Cranberry Buttercream

Cranberry Buttercream. Yes. I couldn't find a recipe for it, so I made one myself. I just grabbed some cranberry jelly that I made from the freezer, melted it, and made a buttercream the normal way...WHIP IT! I hope you like this one. Works great with the Duncan Hines Pineapple flavored cake mix.

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Yields: 4 cups

Ingredients

• 1  cup cranberry jelly, melted
• 4 -5  cups powdered sugar
• 1  cup butter, didn't measure
• 1  pinch salt
• 1 -2  teaspoon vanilla
• 1  tablespoon milk

Directions

1. Melt the cranberry jelly, add it to the mixer/bowl and whip until the bowl is cool to the touch. I used the whisk attachment on my mixer.
2. Add the salt, vanilla, and butter until it starts to come together (1 cup or more, I didn't really measure, and buttercream isn't supposed to be healthy ;) ).
3. When the butter and melted cranberry jelly come together (basically a flavored butter) start adding the sugar until you are at the sweetness level you like.
4. Add some of the milk if the buttercream is too think.
