Make Your Own Peanut Butter - I've Done It With Cashews And Pistachios

Make your own Peanut Butter


Directions

1. Pour nuts into the Vitamix container and secure lid
2. Select Variable 1.
3. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
4. In 1 minute, you will hear a high pitched chugging sound. Once the butter begins to flow freely through the blades, the motor sound will change from a high pitch to a low laboring sound. Stop machine.
5. Store in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
6. If using dry roasted nuts, you may need to add BUTTER (oil). Begin with 3 Tablespoons (30 ml) and add more if necessary.

I NEVER ADD RANCID OILS
~but, i use 'real' salted butter instead

 

You can use
all one type of nut
(or, since cashews are pretty expensive)
