Notes
Making pumpkin seed butter – or any nut or seed butter – can be really hard on your food processor. If your motor feels like it’s getting very hot while grinding your pumpkin seeds, turn it off and leave it for at least half an hour to let the motor cool down. You can also take regular short rests (5 minutes) during the process, to keep temperatures down.
