Useful tips: If someone in your house has a peanut allergy, sub cashews for peanuts. Buy the freshest pecans you can — the nut butter will taste better if they haven't been sitting in your pantry for a year. If you don't have time to toast the nuts, skip it; they have enough natural oils to still make a smooth nut butter, just less of a toasted flavor. Bonus: makes an excellent peanut butter and jelly!
