Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Spread pecans onto a baking sheet.
- Bake pecans for 15 minutes or until they start to smell toasty.
- Carefully add hot nuts to the processor*. Blend for 1-2 minutes. Scrape down sides and blend again.
- Continue to scrape down and blend until the nuts turn a smooth consistency. Add salt and blend one more time
- Pour butter into a mason jar. The butter will still be hot, so keep the lid off until the nut butter cools.
- Store in the pantry for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
Hot nuts are my best tip for a fast and smooth nut butter. The oils in the nuts break down much faster when the nuts are hot!
