So, I have been completely obsessed lately with making homemade nut butters. All natural nut butters can be so expensive in the stores and I just recently learned how easy it is to make your own. It is cheaper, you are confident in the ingredients, and I think it tastes so much better!!!So a few weeks ago I experimented with almond butter. I ate it plain, put it on everything, and baked with it. Then I saw the pecans in the fridge. I thought, pecans have such a unique flavor that is by far my favorite nut......I wonder if I can make some pecan butter??
The answer.....yes.....yes I can!
 |
| TOAST THE PECANS FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AT 350 DEGREES |
 |
| ADD THE TOASTED PECANS TO A FOOD PROCESSOR (I USED MY NINJA) |
 |
| BLEND UNTIL CREAMY |
 |
| STORE IN AN AIR TIGHT CONTAINER IN THE FRIDGE |
The pecans actually formed into a butter much easier than any other nut I have tried. It only took about 2 minutes to become really creamy. It seemed a little thin at first but after putting in the fridge it got thicker. This would also be really good if you added a little bit of honey to it. Add salt to taste. Enjoy!!
