Homemade Pecan Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preparation

If roasting pecans, place on a greased cookie sheet in preheated 350 degree oven. Spread them out in a thin layer to roast evenly.
Roast for 5 minutes, stir, then roast for another 5 minutes until you can smell them. Take care not to scorch them!
As soon as they come out of the oven, place them on a flat plate or piece of parchment paper to cool.
Add cooled pecans to food processor and blend on HIGH until finely ground, 2-3 minutes.
Add vegetable oil 1/2 tbs at a time and continue to blend until butter reaches desired consistency.
Add salt to taste.
Place in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Usually, this will keep 1 to 2 months if you used fresh nuts. Storing at room temperature will accelerate rancidification.
