I used your acorn-infused butter to help fill acorn macarons. I've linked back to this page in my blog http://hungerandthirstforlife.blogspot.com/2010/10/wild-about-acorns-acorn-macarons-with.html Thanks for the inspiration.

Pecans aren't as strong tasting as acorns, so you might need to use more and cook longer to better concentrate the flavor. :) Yep, I did roast them beforehand to bring out the flavor, and I definitely soak acorns before using, though with pine nuts it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

So did you roast the hazelnuts or pinenuts before you infused them in the butter? I usually like to soak and then roast most nuts for digestibility. I will certainly try this with our pecans, since we have a bumper crop this year, and since they are especially oily. Pecans don't keep very well, so I am thinking of other ways to presarve them for the rest of the year. Wow! So did you roast the hazelnuts or pinenuts before you infused them in the butter?

You have to use the California Valley Oak acorns which are great as is or leached once in water (if you don't like any trace of bitterness). All the other acorns seem to need to be leached 4 or 5 times. We just gathered bags full so I can't wait to try this! We have great acorns here in Northern California.

I guess if you scraped the milk solids away, you would have Nut Ghee, right? Thanks for yet another inspirational post I need to figure out wild seeds/nuts here (besides Pine) in Western Montana, since Oaks are not native here.

Added a couple more notes up there, especially about the fact that you can't taste the full flavor until the butter has cooled, and also that depending on the hardness of your nut etc you may need to cook them longer. Thanks, Grok, I thought you’d like this :)

We (my staff and I) were discussing this exact thing today, over our simmering pot of Hickory brew during class. How serendipitous. I was wondering how long it would take to render the Hickory's naturally occurring butter, probably days, but maybe this is a better way for now. Thank you! I can’t even believe you just posted this!
