Notes

A year ago I worked with students of the YouthBuild program at PieLab in Greensboro, AL. In a leadership class, the students were encouraged to come up with a business idea utilizing local resources in Hale County. A group of students came up with the idea of pecan butter, much like peanut or almond butter. This is one nut butter I have yet to see on the shelves of health food stores. I had worked to develop this recipe and then taught the students how to produce and package the product in the hospitality classes that I taught. This is an absolutely delicious spread that tastes great on apples or bananas and makes a great PB&J! I had been making my own peanut butter before trying out pecan butter and it’s surprisingly easier than you’d think. If you think it’s a lot of trouble, please do support the YouthBuild students and buy some here! (www.the-pecans.com) It makes a great holiday gift.
