Useful tips for Maple Pecan Nut Butter

If someone in your house has a peanut allergy, sub cashews for peanuts.

Buy the freshest pecans you can. The nut butter will taste better if they haven’t been sitting in your pantry for a year.

If you don’t have time to toast the nuts, skip it. They have enough natural oils to still make a smooth nut butter, just less of a toasted flavor.

Bonus: makes an excellent peanut butter and jelly!
