I was out to lunch with a friend recently and we were served Orange Pomegranate Butter with Buttermilk Biscuits! They were downright heavenly and I came straight home to make my own version. This butter is sweet with a hint of honey and orange zest and tastes like a delicious dream on warm flakey biscuits straight out the oven. Just perfect of for the holidays!

Orange Pomegranate Butter and Buttermilk Biscuits!
When a recipe has so few ingredients, those ingredients should be top quality. I use butter made from the cream of grass fed cows, fresh orange zest, honey and just seeded pomegranates!
Learn to Seed a Pomegranate the Easy Way:
Using fresh pom seeds in recipes doesn’t need to be a time consuming mess. In fact you can seed a pomegranate in two minutes flat. See my tutorial here.
How To Zest Citrus:
I use a tool called a microplane to zest citrus. Just lightly scrape the skin until the white is exposed, then move to a new area. The orange part of the skin is full of essential oils that smell and taste heavenly!
The Buttermilk Biscuits!
Serve this delicious butter on my Easy Buttermilk Biscuits. Swoon!

I love the pomegranate & orange combo
Ooh, those chive and Parmesan biscuits look so good! And now that I know how to seed a pomegranate so quickly, a recipe like this is simple! 😉
Exactly 😉
This butter sounds amazing! And I’ve never met a biscuit I didn’t like … I bet this is so good on biscuits!
Lol me either!
Such a perfect pairing: Pomegranate + Orange!
Thanks for sharing. Sounds amazing!
These look delicious! My son and I were recently reading a book where the characters are stuck on an island with only pomegranates to eat. He was asking to get some and I sadly had to admit that I have never had one. I told him we could get some soon. I think we will try this recipe with them. Thank you!
It’s so easy, great recipe to start with!
What a beautiful, delicious, and not-common recipe! Love it on scones!
It would be great on scones!
The PERFECT Christmas morning breakfast!! Love this!
Yes a fun breakfast for sure!
What do you recommend for a gluten/ grain free flour substitute?
Dawn, link through to my parmesan biscuits. You can read about the grain free flour I use in those. It’s called cassava flour. Just use the recipe from that post and leave out the parmesan and chives if you are using the orange pomegranate butter. Or try Rob’s redmill:)
Yes,please!
