Vanilla Bean Pecan Butter

By

Making your own butter compounds can turn an ordinary recipe into something quite extraordinary. I made this butter as a component for my recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Molasses and Vanilla Bean Pecan Butter (on Key Ingredient). I found this is delicious with my recipe for Gingerbread-Pumpkin Waffles (also on my blog and Key Ingredient).

NOTE: You can make this several days ahead of time, or even roll it with parchment paper or wax paper and freeze. Slice and use as needed.
