  Homemade Nut Butters

Ingredients:
-Robbie Shelton
1 cup Shelled nuts - cashew halves and pieces, blanched whole almonds, or hazelnuts
Peanut oil, if needed - (1 to 3 teaspoons)
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Toast the nuts in the oven or in a skillet until slightly browned. To
toast in an oven, spread the nuts in a single layer in a shallow pan
and bake at 350F for 10 minutes, stirring the nuts occasionally so
they brown evenly. To toast on top of the stove, place the nuts in a
skillet and cook them over medium-high heat, stirring or shaking the
pan constantly so they brown evenly. Be sure that you turn all the
nuts over frequently as they cook or they will scorch. A teaspoonful
of oil helps distribute the heat and keep everything moving,
resulting in more even browning.

Transfer the toasted nuts to a food processor and process 1 minute.
Stop the machine, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl thoroughly,
and continue processing another minute or two, scraping the bowl
occasionally. Eventually the sound will change as the mixture changes
from finely chopped nuts to a thick, smooth mixture that clings to
the sides of the bowl. Have patience; this can take two or three
minutes. If the nuts refuse to form a butter, add a little oil
through the feed tube (hazelnuts usually require some oil). When the
blade spins free, scrape down the mixture one more time and blend a
few seconds more. Taste the butter and add a little salt if desired;
process briefly to stir it in. Store nut butters tightly covered, at
room temperature or refrigerated, and use within a week or so.
