My husband is a big fan of Cashew and Almond butters. The price of these items in your local market is ridiculous! Make it yourself. Go to either a restaurant supply store, a bulk item store or aisle or someplace that you can buy cashew or almonds inexpensively. I also recommend making the butters in smaller batches. Fresh taste goes a long way to happiness! This is super easy, here we go:
You will need:
1/2 pound of either roasted cashews or almonds (blanched without skin)
small amount of vegetable oil
small amount of Agave or honey (Optional)
1.) In the bowl of your mini food processor, place the cashews or the almonds. Pulse continually until the nuts are quite ground. Add the vegetable oil in very small amounts and pulse after each addition until you get the correct consistency.
2.) If desired add a small amount of Agave or honey to taste.
3.) Put this in a container and refrigerate. The butter will last about 10 days, hence the reason I said to make it in small batches and truthfully, the fresher the better the taste!
