Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw pine nuts (pinon)
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 1 teaspoons Neutral oil (optional; e.g., avocado oil)
Instructions
Place the raw pine nuts in a high-powered blender or a food processor. Ensure the appliance is clean and dry to prevent any moisture from affecting the consistency.
Blend or process the pine nuts on medium speed. Initially, the nuts will break down into a coarse meal-like texture.
Pause the machine and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Continue blending in intervals to prevent overheating the machine.
As the oils in the nuts release, the mixture will transform into a paste and eventually a smooth, creamy butter. This process may take 5–7 minutes, depending on your machine's power.
Once the pine nut butter reaches your desired creamy consistency, add the sea salt. Blend again briefly to incorporate.
For a silkier texture, add 1 teaspoon of neutral oil (optional) and blend until fully mixed.
Carefully transfer the pinon butter into a clean, airtight glass jar or container. Let it cool to room temperature before sealing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Stir well before each use, as natural oils may separate over time.
