I love nut butter. Definitely too much. My favorite way to eat it is straight from the spoon, or spread on dark chocolate.
I really enjoy creating new delicious twists on nut butter. This variation is made with one of my favorite nuts, pecans, and ghee, because ghee is awesome. Plus a bit of maple syrup and unrefined sea salt. The result is nut butter perfection.
Nut butter is really easy to make in your food processor. It takes a while to turn to pecan butter, so patience is needed, but the end result is more than worth it.
Happy cooking!
