Ingredients

2 cups pecans
⅛ tsp fine sea salt *add more to taste
⅛ tsp ground cinnamon *optional

Instructions

Start by placing the pecans into a large skillet.
Place the skillet over medium heat and toast the pecans for 5-8 minutes. Watch for the color of the pecans to start to darken, and they will become fragrant.
Transfer the toasted pecans to the food processor and allow them to cool. Let them sit for at least ten to fifteen minutes.
Then, process the pecans until the mixture is smooth. Stop the machine every minute to scrape the sides down and allow the machine to cool down.
The mixture will be crumbly after the first 2-3 minutes, then the next 2-3 minutes, it will become more creamy.
Once the butter has reached your desired consistency (about 5-6 minutes), sprinkle in the salt and cinnamon (if using) and process again for 10 seconds. Taste and adjust the salt if needed.
Scrape the pecan butter into a clean jar with an airtight lid.
