Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, bring ghee, salt and maple syrup to a boil

Once the syrup starts bubbling vigorously, add the pecans and cook, stirring almost constantly, until the pecans take a nice golden caramel color and start to smell heavenly good, about 2-3 minutes.

Kill the heat and allow to cool sligthly, until the nuts have hardened and can be handled with bare hands.

Reserve 1 cup of the pecan mixture and add the rest to the bowl of your food processor. Process until the nuts turn to butter, which should not take lond at all, about 1-2 minutes.

Stop the motor, add chopped vanilla bean, honey, cinnnamon and nutmeg. Resume processing until well incorporated.

Add reserved pecans and pulse a few times, just so they get coarsely chopped.

Transfer to glass jar and allow to rest and settle, ideally until the next day.

This will keep in the cupboards for a few weeks in an airtight container.
