- Cut the butter into small pieces and put into a large bowl. Chop the cherries and apricots into small pieces.
- Combine dried fruit and cinnamon with the butter. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed and drizzle in the maple syrup.
- Continue until you get a slightly darkened mixture. Don’t add too much maple syrup at once or the mixture can curdle.
- Scrape the mixture onto a piece of parchment baking paper.
- Shape into a short thick roll. Using a bamboo sushi mat will make this step easier.
- Roll up the baking paper around it, twisting the ends to enclose.
- Chill your cherry maple butter for at least 4 hours before using.
