Making Nut Butter

First, you have to choose what KIND of nut butter you’re going to make. I LOVE me some cashew butter.

Then, put some nuts in a food processor of some sort. Just make sure your food processor has enough juice to handle the job.

Then, start grinding them up!

When they start to look like this, add some oil.

I like to use coconut oil. Yum!

Then, keep blending (for a while, and stopping to scrape the sides a lot) until it looks like this! This part takes the longest, but I promise, you WILL eventually get there! :o)

Finally, stick it in a jar. Or just eat it right then and there. That’s what I tend to do. Cashew butter doesn’t last long around me. Yum yum! :o)

Oh yum! I've been making my own nut butter at Fred Meyer - they have a machine there that does peanuts and almonds! Cashew butter looks great though!

Yeah, they have the grinders up here for the peanut and almond butter at Fred's as well. I like the cashew butter better though! :o)

Why hello Kassandra's blog... I haven't seen you in awhile. Hmn maybe it's because there's not been any postage going down since August... (Says the girl that hasn't posted to her shutterfly in awhile) ;)
