Chipotle-Pecan Butter
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, mix all ingredients. Lay a large piece of parchment on flat surface and, using a spatula, scrape butter mixture onto center. Shape butter into a log and wrap tightly in paper, twisting ends to tighten. Wrap parchment log in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours before using.
*Purée a can of chipotle peppers in adobo in a blender or food processor. Keep frozen by the tablespoon in an ice cube tray for future use, thawing as needed.
