Hi Everyone,

I made nut butter last night with 3 cups of Hazelnuts I had. I'm going to use it to make an almond bread. It took about 20 minutes from scraping and I even took a break in the middle to have dinner. (I read if it is too warm it might need a cooling rest to start coagulating more, but eventually it became a creamy butter. I did roast for 10 min prior, but will not always do that. It was what the recipe I found suggested. Hope you like the pic.

I found the food processor at Goodwill a couple of years ago and it works well. It is a KitchenAid. Hope you like the pic!

Take care,

The Arabian P.

Hello out there.

The conference call was invigorating, and inspiring last night I enjoyed it allot :)

I have found something useful for budget strapped people that might save abit of money if you have bulk almonds handy from your local health food/bulk grocery store, or farmer! (If you live in the west coast), and a food processor.

Almonds Almonds Almonds mmmm

This recipe I gleaned off the Internet and involves Almond Butter.

The logic goes like this a pound of almonds makes 16oz of almond butter, or basically a jar of almond butter. You typically pay anywhere from 6 to 9 dollars for a jar of almond butter. So if you can find a pound of almonds cheaper at a bulk store/health food store. Then you can save abit of money and have home made almond butter on the cheap.

I have been finding almonds for about $4.99 a pound at the local health food store. So this translates to me paying $ 4.99 for a jar of raw almond butter with nothing added to it, and its fresh without sugar, cottonseed oil or whatever! (Typically the cheaper almond butter that goes for 6 bucks had added things like sugar!)

Okay so you need: a standard size food processor, your
pound of bulk almonds, a small knife, a container to store your butter, and a spoon, or fork for scraping, stirring.

I chop the almonds up first to give my food processor a fair chance.
I then add the semi chopped nuts to the food processor and put it on the high setting. It will get ground up, and want to clump along the sides you have to stir every once in a while to allow the chopped almonds to find the blade in the food processor.
Note **don't stir while its on!!!!!!!!

Grinding the almonds into almond butter takes about 20 mins

Keep watching it and stiring as necessary around the 10 minute mark it starts to become more buttery.

Keep grinding till you reach a buttery consistency and stopping to
Incorporate it.

Around the 20 min mark of grinding you will likely have something resembling almond butter.

Take a spoon scrape out the food processor, and store in a container in the fridge.

It's that simple lol no sugar, or cottonseed oil needed. You just beat inflation, empowered yourself, and saved money!!

You did spend a little extra time but I find food processing very therapeutic and you learned new skill!
