butter replacers DONNA cashew butter FAO Jenni

[Guest guest]

Hi Jenni

What kind of a machine would you use to do this? I was checking out

the web for machines that make nut butter and they all cost about

£350 which is a fearsome amount of money. Since I stopped eating

dairy butter I find I am going through rather a lot of nut butters.

I simply used a small food processor! the one I have is really

old.. it was given to me by a friend who found it for $5 at a garage

sale! I don't have any extra blades or anything.. but I love this

little thing.. I use it for guacamole, hummus, and peanutbutter...

I've even used it for smoothies in the past.. but it is small...only

2 cup capacity..lol When I tried making nut butter simply by

grinding the nuts, I found they did not contain enough oil to make a

butter... I don't remember if i used raw, roasted or what... but that

brought me to the 'method' of buying a jar of peanut butter and

buying nuts.. then grinding the nuts w/ a little of the store bought

butter... It was cheaper than buying more peanutbutter...
