Roasted Pecan Butter

Here's a quick post for today. :)

This concoction is so tasty! It's so nutty and has just enough sweetness...I can't say enough about how delicious roasted pecan butter is. You can put it on toast! Or biscuits! Or, I don't know, Oatmeal Pecan Pancakes! If you want, you can store it in a jar in your fridge and it will keep for a week or two. But why do that?! It's much tastier all at once and fresh out of the food processor. Enjoy. :)

This recipe makes chunky pecan butter - if you want the pecans to be really finely ground, grind them up in a food processor by themselves and then add the other ingredients.

Roasted Pecan Butter

Adapted from:Royalty Pecan Farms

Makes about 1 cup butter

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. chopped pecans
• 1 stick butter
• 2 T. light brown sugar
• 1 t. vanilla

Before you start:Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and set your butter out at room temperature

Recipe

Put pecans on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Pecans should be fragrant and lightly browned. Be warned - they burn quickly so keep an eye on them.


Cool the pecans to room temperature. Add to food processor, along with butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Pulse until smooth. Serve immediately, or put in a sealed jar and keep in the fridge for up to a week.
