Ingredients

2 cups pecan pieces

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Process:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the pecan pieces on a baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Place the pecan pieces, kosher salt, and cinnamon in a food processor. Process on high speed for about 1 minute until crumbly, then scrape down the bowl. Process again for about 1 minute until creamy, then scrape down the bowl. Process for another minute or two until completely creamy and smooth, scraping as necessary. Taste and if desired, add a few pinches of additional salt and blend again until fully incorporated. Pour into a sealable jar and store refrigerated.
