Step-by-Step Method
Soften the butter
Make sure the butter is soft, not melted. If it’s still firm, microwave it for 10–15 seconds just to soften.
Prep (and toast) the pecans
Roughly chop the pecans. For extra flavor, toast them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring often, then let them cool.
Mix until smooth
In a bowl, stir the softened butter and honey until creamy and well combined. Fold in the pecans and mix so they’re evenly distributed. Add a pinch of salt if you like.
Chill briefly and serve
Spoon the mixture into a jar. For a firmer texture, chill for 15–20 minutes. Spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, or serve with fruit slices.
Storage
Keep covered in the refrigerator. If it gets too firm to spread, let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
