How do I make my own nut butter?
Answer: Gift yourself this holiday season with homemade nut butter. You‘ll never go back to store-bought after you experience fresh and oh-so-creamy butters made with your favorite nut or combination of nuts -- how about peanut, almond, or cashew? Perhaps a pistachio-sunflower seed combo? It’s not only a fun flavor twist when spread on whole grain toast, apple, celery or plain ol’ PB & J, it takes just one to two ingredients and two steps to make. It also costs far less to make at home.
Here’s what you'll need to make a batch of basic nut butter:
- 1 pound (3 cups) raw nuts of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste (optional)
