Homemade pecan butter isn’t something you will find in most stores but is easy and simple to make. All you need are some fresh pecans and a food processor and you are on your way to homemade pecan butter.
Homemade Pecan Butter
Makes a 16 ounce jar
1 lb raw pecans
1/4 tsp sea salt
Preheat the oven to 350*. Once the oven is hot, put the pecans on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven until they are fragrant, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the nuts, they go from fragrant to burnt really fast. Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool briefly. Add the nuts to the bowl of your food processor.Let the nuts process for about 5 minutes. In the first couple of minutes, you may want to scrape down the side with a spatula. One minute, you will think you are making flour and then all of a sudden, you will have fresh nut butter. Once it is the texture you want, pour it into a clean jar and store in the refrigerator.
I hope you enjoy the wonderful treat!
that looks amazing.
I think I will have to try that with peanuts.
mmm that looks divine! :)
Ah I’m envious! It looks sooo good. I wonder how you’re gonna use it?
Very cool! I wish I had a food processor, I don’t think the magic bullet could handle nut butter.
beautiful! i think pecan is next on my list :)
That looks so yummy and I’m excited, as I have a food processor I ordered coming in the mail this week. Homemade nut butters are most certainly on the top of the list and I hadn’t thought of pecan.
Which blade did you use on your food processor? I JUST got one and want to try making pecan butter — yummy!
That looks delicious! I’ve been wanting to try to make my own nut butter for some time now….I think this might give me the push I need to do it because it looks SO GOOD!
Mmmmm, that pecan butter looks amazing. I just got a huge bag of pecans on sale, and was wondering about doing this myself, I’ve never actually seen it done. I might have to try it!
One minute, you will think you are making flour and then all of a sudden, you will have fresh nut butter.

Hi Susan,
I just used the regular blade. I just got mine too, I can’t wait to do more “processing”!
