Ingredients
Scale
Nuts:
- 1/4 cup pecans
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350°F, carefully spreading finely chopped pecans in a single, even layer.
- Roast pecans for 5-7 minutes, watching closely to achieve a light golden color without burning, then remove and allow to cool entirely at room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter with honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, blending until the mixture reaches a smooth, consistent texture.
- Gently fold the cooled, toasted pecans into the butter mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Transfer the pecan butter to a serving dish, allowing it to rest at room temperature for optimal spreadability and flavor release.
Notes
- Toast pecans carefully to enhance their nutty flavor without burning, watching closely during the 5-7 minute window.
- Use room temperature butter for smoother blending and easier mixing of ingredients.
- Try alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, allowing flavors to meld and develop.
