More butter details

A couple of emails have made me realize I should add a few more notes about the amazing cinnamon honey butter....
- It can be refrigerated, but does not have to be.
- I can't say exactly how much the recipe I linked to yields - I made a much larger batch.  Here are the measurements (and a description of what I bought in case that helps you go shopping) I used:

* 4 cups softened butter (2 of the big blocks of cheap butter - equivalent to 8 sticks of butter)
* 4 cups powdered sugar (one 2lb bag will leave you with a little extra sugar)
* 4 cups honey (I got 2 bottles of the largest honey available at our store - 2lb 8oz each.  I hardly used the second bottle, but one was not quite enough).
* 4 tsp cinnamon
* two dozen 4 oz canning jars (I didn't fill these to the rim, but they were really full.  I bought the last 2 boxes of the jars the store had...on the lookout for more....you'd be surprised how quickly you find homes for these cute little jars of butter!)
